Our Guestbook
“ I came for brunch today and had a lovely mimosa and sopes for the main course. There was a special treat today: a young man playing the guitar and singing! He was delightful. I really love this place! ”
“ Fast friendly service. Authentic flavors for sure. But they offer “Americanized” dishes if your palate prefers. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. Most dishes are between 15-20. If you’re tired of eating Hardee’s or Subway, definitely give Buen Dia a try! ”
“ We eat here a few times a week (if not more) it’s like home and staff over the years have become family. If you like authentic Mexican food stop here because you will not find better authentic Mexican in the Wilmington area. The atmosphere is relaxed and the food comes out quickly, the menu has expanded and changed adding so many of our old favorites from childhood. Their Cafe de Olla, Horchata, Jamiaca are the absolute best and will remind you of the original home style you well remember. ”
“ Great food. Super friendly staff. Lots of choices and the coffee is amazing. ”
“ The servers were kind, the food came out very fast even with a crowded dining room, the food was hot, and all five of us had some of the best Mexican (and "our own take on American food") we've ever had. I'm still in the dining room writing this up, which is high praise. We decimated our food and are leaving so full. Not open for dinner, FYI. ”
“ My first visit to Buen Dia won't be my last! I've always wanted to try authentic Mexican breakfast, and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible—I couldn't finish my entire plate because it was just way to much food. I've never tasted beans quite like theirs before. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. They’re open from 7 AM to 3 PM, and trust me, it’s worth your time. Plus, the waiter was incredibly friendly and welcoming! ”
“ We visited this place on our way back home to Florida. DELICIOUS . The food was amazing and they give you A LOT so come hungry for breakfast. This is not your traditional TexMex place. This is traditional Mexican food. Enjoyed the music in the background. You can always tell a restaurant has great food when the local people pack this place. On my return back visiting my friends, I will return. Gracias por la coming. Dios Bendiga ”
“ The minute we walked in we felt welcomed and it smelled DELICIOUS! Do not sleep on this place! I didn’t take a picture of the pancakes of oh my gosh they were so good. We substituted chorizo for the bacon. ”
