What People Are Saying
from Google"Let me start by saying that I have been told by friends that I need to try Del Paz for months, and I will admit I should have listened. I sat at the bar, which is where I usually sit when I'm going to do a review, and the bar tender was very welcoming, she made some great recommendations, and I was glad she did. I ordered the Chicken Tortilla Soup, which is the first thing I order when going to a Mexican restaurant if it's on the menu, because it will tell me exactly where the rest of the meal is going to go, and it never fails. The soup was delicious, full of flavour and the right amount of everything that makes a Chicken Tortilla Soup the perfect starter. Next I ordered a Taco Trio, consisting of a Cheese Steak Taco, Mahi Taco, and a Shrimp Taco, and I was not disappointed. Though I had reservations about the Cheese Steak Taco, it was still delicious, and exceeded my expectations. The real star was the Mahi and Shrimp Tacos! I can honestly say that the Mahi Taco was right up there with some of the best I have had, and I've had the best in the world on Maui, and that is no joke. The Mahi was moist and tender, and most of all fresh, like they caught it themselves fresh, and that was why you see that it was already half eaten in the pic. The Shrimp taco was no different, delicious and fresh, but on another level, straight out of a taco lovers diary, and into the menu at Del Paz. I would recommend Del Paz to my friends for a casual meal, or a celebration, either would be fitting."
"From the moment we walked in, we knew this was going to be special—but nothing could have prepared us for just how amazing the evening would be. Our waiter, Lenny, was an absolute gem—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu. He guided us through the dishes like a culinary storyteller, making sure every recommendation was spot on. And the food? Incredible doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every plate was bursting with fresh flavors, vibrant colors, and the kind of authenticity you can taste in every bite. The spices were balanced to perfection, and each dish felt like a work of art—made with love and pride. From start to finish, it was an experience that fed both the stomach and the soul. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of outstanding service and unforgettable Mexican cuisine, this place is it—and if you’re lucky, you’ll get Lenny as your waiter!"
"Fantastic staff and food. The service was great and I am looking forward to going back. Thank you for treating us so great while celebrating our birthdays!!!"
"I had gone the first time to any non-Indian proper restaurant in Delaware and that too on my day of graduation ceremony to celebrate it. I was really awesome experience. Food:- We had ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food and all the food was really tasty 😋 I had tried black bean burger 🍔 and it came with crispy fries 🍟 on side. I can’t describe how good it was (Special Compliments to Chef). The burger bun itself was really super soft including the black bean patty inside that. Even the complimentary chips with salsa sauce were good. Had also tired Strawberry… Non alcoholic beverage, it was sour, but I liked that. Staff:- The staff were really good and kind. Maya was our server and she was really nice to us. Price:- Being a restaurant I’d say the prices are reasonable enough (If you’re a student then it’s another story and it’s not that cheap you come often, especially without offer. But I heard they’ve some offer on Tuesday, like Taco Tuesday or something, I’m not sure about it, do confirm before relying this) Ambience:- Ambience of this restaurant was really good (This is not for you if you like full lit) It feels like a candle light dinner 🤭 Update:- Also I took my friends to this place for their graduation celebration 2 days after I visited and they loved this as well. But second time we went it was really full of people. P.S. :- I got to know that this restaurant was opened up recently like November 2024."
"We did the taco sampler with the cauliflower, mahi, and Primo, the corn cake, and the Mexican sushi roll. The food was fine, but would not be my first choice for Mexican. The corn cake was our favorite and the Primo taco was our least because it was very dry."
