Delia's Mexican Food

Went to Delia's today with mom and dad, it was so so good. Authentic mexican food. My dad is a vegan and they said they could make any dish for him without meat the way he wants it. Best experience in a long time. Waiter even opened and held the door for my parents who are both handicapped. Our waitress was so sweet and very attentive. I also noticed they called a few patrons by name. You really need to come experience it for yourselves.

Really impressed with this little place. Went on a Monday during lunch, it was packed but we were seated quickly. Homemade tortilla chips and such good salsa! Nice menu selection, food came out fast and hot. We will definitely be back! Our server was working so quickly, and was extremely friendly. Highly recommend!

It’s my new favourite Mexican restaurant in Chattanooga. You’ll get the most authentic experience here, everything is so delicious. My favourite menu item is the chicken and steak chimichanga, don’t skip on their beans they’re surprisingly amazing. Their salsa and chips are out of this world oh my goodness!

Dont suggest going until the adapt to the new space and make a system for serving tables. Very chaotic atmosphere currently. Absolutely love the staff but I dont we will ever come back. Our bill seems to be $10 over the should have been cost. It was a total mystery how they came up to our $64 bill with just 3 of us. I def dont like not knowing what im paying for and this place does that. You never see a bill of any sort they just tell you what you owe, which has seemed fine until today. But what are you gonna do argue at the cashier stand about a bill you never got to see? No, we just wont go back. It used to be our favorite place.

Always love this place! Food is always fresh and seasoned well. Service is very warm and friendly. They recently completed their remodel and I hope it’s everything they have dreamed of to increase business here- it looks FABULOUS. They’ve easily added 10 more tables to accommodate more patrons. Great job, Delias!

Delia’s is such a hidden gem! Wonderful mexican style tacos, housemade tortilla chips, tasty enchiladas, and the service was amazing. It’s a very small restaurant, but stopping in for tacos at lunch was a perfect option if you’re in the area. Truly delicious food and incredible service.

Couldn't wait for them to re-open after the remodel process, it is fantastic inside, and the staff are so friendly too. The food is great, and the pricing is affordable. We love this place!

The food is always amazing! We have tried almost everything on the menu and never been disappointed. The chips and salsa are the best I have ever had!!! The people who run this little restraunt are the sweetest and they do a great job at serving you!

Family local business, great service, delicious Mexican food. Prices are reasonable, especially for table service.

We love Delia's!! Great food, great price, friendly and fast service, BIG drinks, they have it all. They do close around the holidays, so be sure to check their hours (usually on the front door). Delia's is a no frills, delicious down-home restaurant serving hot food fast. I love their chicken enchiladas with white cheese sauce on top, as well as their chips and salsa. They give everyone their own salsa dipping cup and offer refills whenever you need.

Had to go back! This was such a great hidden treasure. We decided to try completely different meals. Our server helped us make a few selections and was quite attentive. This little place must definitely be popular because it was packed. This is not a fancy restaurant but who wants fancy and horrible tasting food. I came for the food.

First off we've been going to Delias since they were in Dayton tn and the food is the most authentic you will find around her and they are always so kind and our family loves the homey atmosphere that keeps you free from stress!! Thank you Delia

I would come here again because the food has very good authentic Mexican flavor and very good salsa verde, you just have to ask. It is not a fancy place so without being said ambiance and staff are not Michelin quality, but they do a great job of attending , and is clean but the food is high quality. You can tell they use good ingredients and have some old school grandma style recipes.

Located along Dayton Pike, the green building stands out. There is a sign out front as well, but i don't think that is as easy to find. There is very limited parking in front of the building, but a lot more along both sides. At least one side is gravel so be aware of your mobility when you look for a place to park. On entering, the counter is to the right. Seating is plentiful and there is a wide aisle for walking even when crowded. Seating is mostly booths although there is a large table in the eat. The food generally only takes 10-15 minutes to reach your table after ordering. Everything i have had was either good or great. The quality is excellent for the price. The flavors here are a little stronger than most restaurants, so the food really stands out.

Best Carnitas Tacos in Tennessee. Ask for corn tortillas filled and put back on the grill to cook each side. Ask for Johnny's LA Carnitas Tacos!

This Texas girl fell in love with this hidden gem! And I love my Mexican food! The food and service were exceptional! Definitely try this delightful establishment next time you are any where near Soddy Daisy!

Great food! Especially from a person that grew up in Texas!! Soddy's best kept secret

We love Delia's. We have been coming here for years because the food and service is always consistent. The ambiance is casual but it's always clean. I have probably eaten everything on the menu. But I usually get the combo with us a taco, enchilada , tamale , rice and beans. It's to big for me to finish. Another one of my favorites are the flautas. So different from most places. These are the size of egg rolls and never greasy! There are many choices of proteins or vegetables. The chicken is white meat and so tender. The Barbacoa is never fatty. The chips and salsa are also nice and keep my tummy from grumbling until the food arrives. Good prices and they have their own parking lot.

Wonderful hometown Mexican restaurant. Nothing fancy but excellent food and excellent service. Any of the servers jump right in and offer anything you might need with a friendly smile and helpful voice. I've eaten here several times and never a single complaint. They can get busy but they have plenty of comfortable booths and a room with tables and chairs for dining in, plus they offer takeout service as well. I can easily give them a five-star review.

Good food, great prices and amazing staff. We have eaten here several times and have not yet had a bad meal.

I never give things five stars but this restaurant deserves it the service is phenomenal. along with a busy but personable eating experience. this place is always full of happy customers including myself.

Great food just they do not serve beer or margaritas. Get it to go all the time and eat there with my family!

Good food! Love the Fiesta Burrito! Good service and quaint atmosphere. Good authentic food.

Great food, great prices. Service is also great. Recommend highly. Great little restaurant.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. They have amazing authentic food. And the family treats you like family. The place is very clean.

Hole in the wall Mexican restaurant in Soddy Daisy and its amazing. You can tell from the moment you walk in that it's a family run business, in the best way possible. Staff is friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The food, as authentic as you can get compared to all the 'trendy' Mexican restaurants around. I order the chicken chimichanga and it was stuffed full of onions, peppers, chicken and spices. The rice and beans were just the right amount to compliment the dish. The cheese sauce on top was icing on the cake. Chips and salsa are made in house and taste just like love. Can't wait to go back.

Wife and I read the reviews we thought we would check it out... First bad experience was a young boy brought the salsa to the table then he stood there juggling the two bowls several times before sitting them down. Thinking how dirty is his hands. Then asked to put the sour cream to the side nope maybe they don't understand English. Small serving of the expensive $14.99 Chicken Fajita. I don't recommend this hole in the wall. Will not be BACK‼

Best chips in Chattanooga! My other favorites includes the carne asada tacos, guacamole, and their green salsa.

We are originally from California so needless to say, we are spoiled when it comes to Mexican food. We were surprised to find this little family owned hole in the wall place in Soddy. The food was great! The staff was very friendly, prices were very reasonable, restaurant is clean. Definitely recommend this spot if you are craving some good Mexican food!

Delia's is one of my regular places to eat. Large menu but always great food with great portion sizes. I most often, get the fajitas and I always bring home enough for a second meal. Good service, easy parking, carry out, not hard to find. It's well worth the trip.

First off I come for the chips. They are the best. Most of the time I don't even make it to the salsa because I eat the chips on the way home. I like their guacamole a lot though so I have to save some chips for that. I have tried quite a few things on the menu and have liked most of them - not a huge fan of cheese sauce anymore so if I order anything else with that on it I will substitute some other sauce, however if you like cheese sauce theirs is good. The tacos have probably been my favorite, but I am still working through the menu that may change. I think everything tastes like it has been made with love. The only thing keeping me from eating here more often is they are closed on Sundays.

I had heard tales of a brightly colored, unassuming building in Soddy Daisy which was quietly turning out some of the best Mexican food around but I had never made the effort to seek it out. However, my husband and I were so hungry one afternoon we would have eaten the paint off the side of the road when the orange building appeared before me. With visions of burritos dancing before my eyes, I urged my husband to hit the brakes and pull over. The parking lot was packed with a lot of work trucks, which is always a good sign for a restaurant. It is very small and narrow. The booths and tables have seen better days. The service is friendly and you can tell they have a very loyal clientele. The menu has a lot of choices and everything looked good. We were quickly brought complementary chips and salsa. The chips are different from every other restaurant. They are flaky and crisp. Not from a store bought bag. Definitely homemade and sooooo good. The salsa has just enough heat to keep you coming back for more. I ordered a steak chimichanga. Our little one got a kids meal of rice, beans, chicken and cheese. Hubby ordered Bistec a la Parilla. We also ordered a side place of 3 beef soft tacos because we were really hungry. Our food came so quickly, I honestly thought they had brought us someone else's order. Everything was from-the-garden fresh and piping hot. I thought I was going to have to wrestle the third taco away from my husband because he wolfed the first two down without even looking up from the plate. Generous serving sizes and excellent quality food; Delia's has become our new favorite Mexican restaurant.

Best in Soddy. The Al pastor and barbacoa are the best I've had outside of AZ. We always go to the Soddy Daisy location.

Great food. Good prices. The place is a bit run down but the food was delicious. We really loved the queso sauce.

The two things that prevent a five star rating is atmosphere (it's a small place with very little decor), and margaritas...there aren't any! This is true authentic Mexican food, served lighting fast, at great prices. The menu is large, the people are friendly, and the service is excellent. I also think they have the best chips and salsa. A brief story to illustrate the friendly personal service. My wife and I had eaten there about four times, always being served or checked out by the same female employee. One day after eating, upon checkout, this employee informed me the Point of sale register was down. I said we have no cash. She said that's fine, just pay the next time you're in. She never even wrote down my name!!We responded to an ATM, obtained the cash and returned within 20 minutes to pay her (with a very big tip). Outstanding service? No doubt about it!!

The food was as close to Sonoran style Mexican food as we've found in TN. The only downside is no restaurants we've found offer shredded beef or pork as an option in enchiladas or tacos, they all use ground beef. If I want ground beef I'd go to Taco Bell. And I've yet to see burritos with an option to get them smothered in red or green chili sauce and cheese like an enchilada.

Great pizza and buy one get one free! We got a supreme pizza and a pepperoni. Very good. Heavy on the cheese just like I like it. Surprisingly good for a mom and pop pizza shop!

Absolutely delicious!! I loooove the ground beef chimichangas!! The staff is always super sweet and attentive, too!

Since we are new in town I thought I would try this place out because every time I have tired to check it out it's been closed so we got lucky tonight it was open. So first when we got there it look full you think everyone must love this place was wrong. We sat down they kind of threw the menus down I order our food way before anyone else we were last ones to get our food even people who say way after us I had to ask about our food they never once apologize for it too take so long. little do you know they up charge you without saying anything about it. the menus never say anything. When I ask for boxes it seem like the server just didn't want to give them to us. I see so many people loving this place I'm guessing they don't want new people coming since they know how to treat them so bad will never be back. never in my life I felt like these people were treating new people in town so bad like these servers did tonight please stay away from this place. You think a place with 4.5 stars would be better this place should be 2 star restaurant they don't even know good Mexican food is trust me

Good food and great service; short wait times, but the seating is limited. Keep in mind if their schedule and business hours.

Best tacos and guacamole in Chattanooga area. Usually drive 20 minutes passing several other similar restaurants to eat here. They are always friendly, very well priced, and super consistent. If you haven't eaten here yet you are missing out!!

This is the best authentic Mexican food in town! I normally try something new every time that I am here. This time, I tried the Hawaiian torta; it's a Mexican sandwich with lettuce your choice of meat loaded with lettuce, pico de piña, jalapeños, and mayo. I hope you have an appetite because what is not pictured here is the other half of this sandwich. Cheap prices combined with a family friendly environment, this place is the best authentic Mexican you can get in Soddy Daisy!

We went there last week and we loved it! Our waiter was a little boy and he was cute as he could be. The food was wonderful, the service was wonderful, and the overall experience was good.

Delia's is my favorite Mexican Food. The food is delicious. Everything I have ever had there is god. The staff is wonderful and friendly.

It's our visit when we are on the way to Chattanooga from Knoxville. The staff were good and patient.The food is so delicious and cheap. I would definitely recommend this one even though it's in a small town but it's worth it.

Amazing Food! I love the Tostada and chips! Everything we ordered was great! Get there before 7:30 they close at 8:00!

I gotta say I love Delia's. I had been there before about a year and a half ago and remember it was really good. Went for Taco Tuesday with my Yelpers and it did not disappoint. I had the taco plate and had carne asada, barbacoa and al pastor. I love that they put grilled veggies in the tacos. Gave it a great flavor. OMG the barbacoa was so good! The taco was filled to the max with it. I also ordered a side of beans because that's one of my two ways I rank a Mexican food place. This wasn't a side, it was like an entree sized bowl of beans. You could tell they were home-made and were really good. I actually took most of it home and made burritos out of it for a couple of days. The food is really great, but what I really want to talk about are the people. Like I said, I was in there with some other Yelpers and I lost a $20 bill. I figured it just fell out of my pocket and it was gone. When I first arrived I had given them my business card. Well, I was almost home and I received a text saying that they had found my $20!!!! Isn't that the coolest thing? These are some great people. Family-owned and they have a fan for life. Thank you!!!!

Talk about authentic! Someone's grandma is in that kitchen making food with love! From the homemade tortilla chips to the best Mexican rice I have ever had you will enjoy it all at some wonderfully affordable prices. They close at 8pm which is the only down side that I can think of so make your plans to eat there early. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

One of the best, Mexican food places that we have found that actually taste like home. It's great.

A bunch of us Yelpers got together for Taco Tuesday at Delia's in Soddy Daisy. This was not a complimentary event, what I'm reviewing, I purchased. The restaurant is one longish, narrow room with booths lining both sides and then tables in the back. We sat at a long table in the back. Because we had to wait awhile for the rest of our party, we had ample time to munch away on the chips and salsa. The salsa was good, pretty basic. We asked for a few different kinds and they brought us out little tups of a green salsa and an orange-ish salsa. The green salsa was my favorite as it usually is. It had the perfect level of heat. The other salsa was a habanero and while it was tasty, it was a little too spicy for my taste. The tortilla chips were made from flour tortillas, which was a bit unusual, but I liked them. Even though there was plenty to choose from, I stuck with my usual order of chimichangas. I ordered the mixed, steak and chicken. The food arrived quickly and was hot and delicious. The beans and rice were good and basic. The chimichanga was crispy and tender. The filling was similar to a fajita - there were nice sized pieces of chicken and steak with tomatoes, onions, and green peppers. All in all, we enjoyed our meal and we are happy to have another dining option in Soddy Daisy.

This is Soddy's hidden gem. They have some of the best tacos for the price. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly. We've eaten here several times and the food was always made to perfection.

BEST mexican i've ever had. The tortilla chips are homemade and the best i've ever had. Very quick service, family owned and very nice. definitely the best mexican in chattanooga hands down.

IMHO, this is the best Mexican restaurant in town, or the metro area for that matter. Service is great too. And the prices are fantastic. What's not to love!

Food is good BUT trying to order over the phone either nobody answers the phone or line is busy.

We love the food! Authentic Mexican. Best we have had since we moved from San Diego. The prices are great as is the service. We would take anyone here to eat. Only Mexican place to eat in Hixon/Soddy!!!

I've been here a couple times. Friendly staff and well priced, but the menu needs help. I'm a vegetarian and the only non meat options on the menu were beans with cheese and rice with cheese. I asked about vegetarian options and was told most dishes could have the meat taken out, but that leaves you with mostly rice and beans with lettuce tomato and sour cream. I then asked if there was a price break if you took the meat out, but she didn't have an answer. She said that was up to the person ringing us up at the end. I like to patronize local businesses, but don't want to do that at the expense of me having an unsatisfactory meal. Having 3-4 vegetarian options with a price is all they need. I don't want to order a meal that I have to have the meat taken off and pay the same price or order something not on the menu and not know what I'm paying till I get to the register.

I have always loved their food. I got nachos & we ate off it all day. The guacamole tastes very fresh. The taco salad is delicious as well. I have never had a bad experience here. It cost a little more than I'm used to. But it's fresh authentic Mexican food. You pay more for quality. And you get a lot.
