DelaWHERE To Go for Authentic Mexican Eats: Three Amigos Got Ya!

If there’s one thing that can turn a regular Tuesday into the highlight of your week, it’s tacos. And at Three Amigos Mexican Grill in Wilmington, Delaware, Taco Tuesday isn’t just a special, it’s an experience.

Tucked away on North Lincoln Street, this family-owned spot has quickly earned a reputation for its authentic flavors, generous portions, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. I stopped by recently to see what all the buzz was about, and let’s just say… I get it. From the outside, Three Amigos looks inviting, bright signage, music, and the smell of great food pulling you. Inside, the space is cozy yet vibrant. Walls are decorated with pops of color, playful murals, and traditional Mexican touches that make it feel both festive and comfortable. The seating is a mix of tables and bar stools, perfect for both casual meet-ups and family dinners. And if you’re into people-watching or catching up with friends over a margarita, the laid-back vibe makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile.

The Menu: Something for Everyone

Three Amigos’ menu reads like a love letter to Mexican cuisine. It’s got all the classic enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, and of course, tacos in a variety of fillings from carnitas and pastor to fish and vegetarian options. Starters like guacamole, queso fundido, and their Chori-Papas (fries topped with chorizo and cheese dip) make it tempting to fill up before your main course even arrives. They also offer vegan and vegetarian selections, which makes it an easy pick for groups with different dietary needs. But if you’re there on a Tuesday, the tacos take center stage, flavor-packed, perfectly portioned, and budget-friendly.

Taco Tuesday

Every Tuesday evening, the dining room fills with a steady stream of regulars and first-timers, all drawn in by the promise of delicious tacos at a discounted price. The best part? The variety. The menu gives you plenty of room to mix and match, making it easy to build your own taco lineup. Choices range from juicy steak and tender carnitas, to al pastor with a hint of pineapple, crispy fish tacos, and even vegetarian and vegan options for those looking for something lighter. Each one comes tucked in a warm tortilla and garnished with simple, fresh toppings that let the main ingredients shine.

The discounted price means you don’t have to limit yourself, order a few different kinds, share them with friends, or go all in on your favorite. It’s also the perfect excuse to add on extras like their creamy guacamole, queso dip, or the irresistible street corn. Pair everything with one of their margaritas (the strawberry is a must-try), and you’ve got the ultimate Tuesday night lineup. What makes Taco Tuesday here stand out is the way it feels accessible and celebratory at the same time. It’s affordable enough to become a weekly tradition, but the flavors and atmosphere elevate it into something that feels like a treat. At Three Amigos, Taco Tuesday isn’t just dinner, it’s a reason to look forward to Tuesdays again.

Beyond the Tacos: A Menu Full of Flavor

While tacos may be the headliners, the menu at Three Amigos goes far beyond just Tuesday’s specialty. You’ll find all the Mexican favorites such as sizzling fajitas served on hot skillets, hearty burritos stuffed with rice, beans, and your choice of protein, and enchiladas topped with savory sauces and melted cheese. For those looking to share, the appetizers are equally tempting, from creamy queso and fresh guacamole to nachos piled high with toppings. Each dish feels crafted to bring out bold, comforting flavors that keep you coming back for more.

Out of everything I saw on the menu, the standout starter for me was the street corn. Served on the cob, it arrived charred to perfection, giving it that irresistible smoky flavor. It was coated generously in a creamy, tangy sauce, sprinkled with cotija cheese, and finished with just a hint of spice. Every bite hit the perfect balance of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet, it was the kind of side dish that’s so good, you’re tempted to order a second one just for yourself. Paired with my steak tacos, it rounded out the meal and gave me that authentic street-food experience right at the table.

Margaritas

No trip to Three Amigos feels complete without exploring their margarita menu. It’s one of the first things that catches your eye! Bright, colorful drinks served in frosty glasses, often rimmed with salt or sugar, and bursting with bold flavors. From the classic lime margarita to fun tropical spins like mango, pineapple, or even hibiscus (Margarita Jamaica), there’s a flavor for every mood and meal.I decided to go with the strawberry margarita, and it turned out to be the perfect pairing for Taco Tuesday. Served ice-cold, it was refreshingly sweet without being overpowering, with just enough tang from the fresh strawberries to balance the tequila. Light, fruity, and slightly indulgent, it complemented the tacos and creamy street corn beautifully. It’s easy to see why their margaritas are such a popular choice, they’re crafted to be both festive and flavorful, the kind of drink that keeps the energy lively and the meal memorable. Whether you like yours fruity, spicy, or classic, Three Amigos’ margaritas are reason enough to raise a glass and toast to Taco Tuesday.

Save Room for Dessert

As tempting as it is to fill up on tacos, burritos, and sizzling fajitas, Three Amigos makes it worth pacing yourself, because their dessert menu is a sweet celebration all its own. From warm churros dusted in cinnamon sugar to creamy flan and even a decadent slice of tres leches cake, there’s no shortage of ways to end your meal on a high note!

But for me, the standout was the tres leches cake. Light, airy sponge cake is soaked in a rich blend of three milks, giving it that melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s both indulgent and refreshing. What made it extra special was the drizzle of chocolate across the top, adding just the right hint of richness to contrast with the creamy sweetness. Finished with a cloud of whipped cream, it was the kind of dessert that makes you glad you didn’t skip the last course. After the bold flavors of street corn and savory steak tacos, this chocolate-kissed tres leches was the perfect finale to my Taco Tuesday feast.
