Del Pez Mexican Gastropub - Riverfront

Didn't really want to come here for an early dinner, but soooo glad I did. The flavor and presentation were spendid. We sat outside on the patio. The drink we ordered was the Purple Mermaid and was excellent (all you need is one lol). For apps we had the Granada Guac that was fresh and light and the Crab Quesadilla was tasty, a ton of crab and crunchy. Entrées included Shrimp & Spinach Enchilada, Chicken Y Shrimp, Grilled Gulf Shrimp, Kids chicken tacos, and the Cancun Shrimp Platter. Everything was cooked to perfection. I want to start my meal all over again.

The menu selections, both food AND drink, were amazing, and so much better than even described. If you're interested in a variety of flavors, and just want a little of the exotic tastes, I'd suggest the tacos; as the are filling, very inexpensive, and you're able to purchase as few OR as many as you'd like, mixing and matching varieties. Be forewarned, the tacos, just ONE, will make you full. Check them out.

Just had brunch here today and I loved it! We went for my sister’s birthday and had so much fun. I had the crispy chicken and waffles with French toast on the side. It was to die for! The watermelon mimosa was really good too! I’ll definitely be coming back again <3

Fantastic staff and great food. Took exceptional care of us and the kids after a long road trip. The kids plate was huge with lots of options. Of the adult meals, the breakfast burrito was the winner.

Visited for dinner and was seated immediately. The service and food were good. I really enjoyed the Zero Proof (nonalcoholic) options available and recommend the Strawberry-Rhubarb & Basil. The Octopus Guac was also a great appetizer. Overall, it's a good option for dinner or drinks if you're by the Riverfront.

Octopus guacamole was ok and so was the steak taco. The purple mermaid drink was phenomenal. My sever was amazing as well.

Went for brunch and was very impressed! The drinks were reallly good and the food was delicious! We had the guacamole with grilled octopus on top which was interesting. The crab quesadilla was very good as well. Our waitress brought over a sampler since it was our first time in and my favorite was the beer cheese as well as corn cake!! Stop in and give them a try.

Local unique fusion of Mexican, Asian, and American fare. Raw bar offers sushi options featuring choices you won’t see anywhere else. Hearty brunch menu. We had more of the traditional Mexican options, but guacamole has 2 options with available seafood. House margaritas are light and flavorful, great for a summer day. To go cocktails available. Seating in here is awesome, it is definitely a busy restaurant, but is broken up in such a way to provide a fairly intimate atmosphere with a nice view. Portions are hefty and a traditional entree could easily feed 2. Skip the churro waffles, they come off a bit overcooked even though they’re very pretty.

This was my first time here, and I want to go back. The Grande Nachos was as mentioned - grande - a huge platter of deliciously spiced meat, loaded with cheese, and other plentiful toppings. The margarita I ordered was smooth, and so easy to gulp - very tasty. I have had other tortillas soups, however this version satiated my palate wonderfully. Nonetheless, I wanted more. Staff was friendly, especially the man with the handlebar mustache - He was kind enough to visit our table. Cheers!🍸🥑

My husband and I decided to pop in here for the first time for for a late lunch on a Sunday to eat on the patio. What a lovely experience! From being seated quickly and efficiently, to our waitress’ attentive and helpful service, to the delicious food, we had a great meal. I especially loved the Purple Mermaid margarita (not too sweet, strong but not too strong), and the beer cheese dip was unexpected at a Mexican place but nonetheless delicious. My husband got a huge and delicious burrito, and I waffled between enchiladas and a shrimp and chicken platter; ultimately I chose the latter and was very happy with my choice. The food tasted fresh, flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. Our waitress checked in on us throughout our meal, and service was timely. I would absolutely come back again.

This was our second visit and WOW! Everything was just absolutely delicious! We had brunch this time. The flavors are just so well balanced and we enjoyed every bite! This is my favorite place right now!

Things were a little bad at first, but our server Rachel turned things around. Upon arriving, we waited for an extended amount of time to be greeted, and even longer to be seated.

Upon finally being seated, our server Rachel was a true gem. She took our orders, and was so friendly and personable she made me glad I didn't leave. The food came out so quickly and was delicious 😋

Fun place to get Mexican with a twist. Maria D. Was friendly and helpful. Great tasting food, excellent service and worth the visit. Recommend👍👍👍 the street tacos are my go-to, steak, shrimp or pork.

Food was delicious ...servers were great too.and please keep in mind we had 5 other couples with us and all said the same thing..Definitely going back soon.. please keep it up.. we're from Jersey and it's worth the drive.

Tacos are delicious, mixed drinks-well made. Convenient location. Cantina like atmosphere. Good for business or casual.

Amazing food and service! We are from pennsylvania and had to stop here when we passed by it. The hibiscus margarita was incredible. We got the angry mexican roll, shrimp gobernador, and beer cheese dip. Absolutely amazing and we will be back for brunch or the social hour!

My kids and I ate here recently and we really enjoyed the food. We were seated quickly and our waitress was very friendly. I had the crab quesadilla and watermelon margarita! They both were great! My kids had cheese quesadillas that came with with fries, fruit, dessert and a drinks. We will definitely be going back!

I love tacos at Del Pez. They have a great Sunday morning menu. Indoor and outdoor seating is a great plus. Make a reservation bc it can st times get busy.

Nice quick sit down Mexican restaurant, located next to constitution yards in Wilmington.

The fish tacos and octopus tacos were both very good

The food was amazing. Flavorful, generous portions, and the presentation was even picturesque. If you like salmon, theirs is top tier. Service was good, the restaurant is nice and clean but a tad cold, and I'm always hot. Overall 4.9/5
