" I had high expectations going into El Norte based on the reviews, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is vibrant with a real community feel. Upon tasting their Menudo, I could definitely tell it’s made with love and authenticity. The only downside was it took a little longer than expected to get our food on a busy night, but the staff checked on us frequently. I will definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ventured to El Norte for lunch and was delighted by the array of authentic dishes they offered. I went for the chicken enchiladas, and they were delicious! The service was friendly, although it took a little while for my food to arrive. Just a small price to pay for deliciousness, in my opinion! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Norte is fantastic! I loved the Menudo, which is a rare find. The flavors transport you directly to Mexico! The mariachi music on weekends is also a highlight, and the ambiance is always enjoyable. I will continue to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is sensational! I enjoyed every single bite of my El Pastor burrito. The flavor was phenomenal, and I could tell that they use quality ingredients. If you haven’t been, don’t hesitate to visit El Norte. It's worth every penny for authentic red and green sauces! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of Mexican food, I must say El Norte delivers on all fronts. I recently tried their Enchiladas with mole and was absolutely blown away. The sauce was rich and everything about it tasted homemade. This will definitely be added to my list of favorite restaurants in Wilmington! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequent El Norte and can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The team feels like family after visiting so often, and their hospitality is unmatched. I usually go for breakfast, and their huevos rancheros is phenomenal. The breakfast menu is as authentic as you'd find anywhere, and the vibe is bustling in a good way. Also, they have karaoke nights, which just adds to the entertainment! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Mexican restaurant in the area! I usually order their fajitas, and they arrive sizzling at the table, juicy and full of flavor. You do get large portions, so it's great for sharing or really satisfying on your own. The staff are super friendly, making the experience even better! " (*Curated Review*)
