Fantastic local Hispanic food in Dover. Try the birria section and don't miss the burritos if you have a big appetite.

Second time here, and it's definitely our new favorite Mexican restaurant. The food was delicious, fresh, and well presented. Prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great all around experience!

During our stopover at Dover AFB on our way back to South Carolina, we decided to try out some Mexican cuisine and stumbled upon this hidden gem. We were thoroughly impressed with the food and service. The tacos were not only mouth-watering but also generously portioned. The torta was equally delicious, and my son's ceviche was a huge hit - he absolutely loved it! The prices were very reasonable, considering the large portions and exceptional taste. What really made our experience stand out, though, was the outstanding service from the waitresses, who were all friendly and attentive. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors, and we highly recommend it!

First time customer and I just loved how great the host gave me and my friend and sister an welcomed. Great customer service I can tell you that! Came in an hour before they were closed and I wasn’t rushed at all not like other places they in fact gave us time to enjoy our dinner! The food was hot and delicious! But the portion for that much is worth it ! I love it couldn’t finish it. Definitely came back again to order my chicken fatija and will still continue with the way we were treated definitely keep it up guys!

This place is a true gem! The place was so clean and the food was outstanding. The staff was exceptional ! The portions are more than generous, and you can tell that this small family owned business takes pride in what they serve their customers. The bacon wrapped jalapenos stuffed with cheese ate outstanding! They serve you 5 of these monsters, and my god, they are good! I ordered the EL Folklore burrito, and this thing had to weigh 2lbs of greatness or better. I could not finish all my food and had to take it home with me. That almost never happens, My wife ordered something I can not begin to spell, but it was a recommendation from our server. It was like little street tacos that you dip in the broth that was simply amazing. If you happen to go in and you are unable to decide on your meal, just ask your server, and they are more than happy to help. They will not steer you wrong! As you can probably guess, my wife and I fell in love with this place, and we will be coming back!

My family and I ate here tonight, have eaten here before, let me tell you, the service and food is always on point. Everything, including the drinks are fresh. The portions are great, most people after munching on the complimentary chips that come with salsa (guacamole is extra but delicious)! Will bring the rest of their food home. I highly recommend going here for great, attentive service, served by very sweet people.

I'm still missing the incredible dining experience at El Folklore De Mexico!!!. The carne asada was hands-down the best I've ever had - tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The tacos were equally impressive. But what really made our visit stand out was the exceptional service. Our server was very friendly. The atmosphere was super clean and cozy with vibrant decor and classical mexican music that added to the overall vibe.

Delicious! Friendly staff! Good prices! Big portions! The burritos are huge and amazing. Steak street tacos, chips & salsa, and their homemade hot sauces are fantastic! Try this place- you won’t be disappointed.
