Great food for group dinner including a kiddo - who enjoyed his chicken tenders, rice and beans, and all the salsa and chips! Everyone enjoyed the meals - again wish the specialty tacos came with sides and that there are more seafood options! But this is a reliable and good Mexican place - always busy and even on this Wed night! It can get loud! Takes reservations if you have a large party which is a plus. read more

Aldana Mexican Restaurant and was pretty good. The portion sizes are huge definitely getting your money's worth , and everything came out fresh. Our waitress was great too. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. If you're looking for good Mexican food with big portions and solid service in the Troy area, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

The host was nice, even dealing with a busy dinner crowd all by herself. The server started off fine, however didn't bring one of my two beverages I ordered at the start (a water and a horchata). She did bring out a glass of ice-less water for my dinner date, however. She did come back with a glass of ice water for me, after asking about it. When taking our drink order, asked us if we wanted "any queso," to which we agreed. Even though we informed her that this was our first time in, she didn't inform us that we'd also be getting complimentary chips and salsa. Pretty nice, but probably wouldn't have ordered the queso if we knew that. I had the chicken mole, and it was pretty good, although very pricey for what you get (rice, a plate full of chicken with 3 radish slices and 6-10 pieces of pickled onion, 5 tortillas). Dinner date ordered spinach enchiladas, server asked with green or red sauce, and then it came with neither. Their food was still good, and our child loved the rice and beans and the mole chicken. The server did not refill our waters until after we had asked for boxes and the check. The last issue was the check. Everything on the menu was clearly priced, no surprised there, but the one surprise was that we were charged for the most expensive queso of the three queso options on the menu, after the server asked us if we wanted "any queso." We weren't provided chips for this most expensive queso that we didn't know we were ordering, so it really felt like an extra poor value, and bringing us the most expensive of the 3 offerings, without informing us of the options, felt really scummy. Again, the food was good enough, but the server and the service she provided (and the manner that it was provided) is probably going to turn us off from returning. read more

Our boys love this place and the food is really good. The prices especially for a margarita are actually ridiculously high but overall a good place to eat but a lot more expensive than many other Mexican places you can eat at. read more

Our go to Mexican joint. Great service at the bar. Solid tacos. Good burritos. My wife like the classic margarita skinny. Uncomfortable chairs but that's the only complaint read more

Nestled in a shopping complex Ample parking. When you walk in the decor with glass blown lights and art deco chairs emblazoned with Mexican art is beautiful and welcoming . Ample Seating for large or small parties. Waiter was prompt and helpful explaining dishes. Had the Mexican Street corn to start which I highly recommend. Served on the cob was simply amazing flavor. For dinner had the 4 street corn tacos which were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming here. read more

I love going to a restaurant where they greet you at the table with chips and salsa. Aldana's does this with 3 salsas! 2 spicy and one mild, all delicious and fresh. My spinach enchiladas were delicioso and full of flavor. I really appreciated that they put the pico, sour cream and guac in a lettuce leaf because it kept it all together without oozing on my meal. The food came out fairly quickly and our server was incredibly nice and attentive. While I didn't get a margarita, many people around us did and they looked large and delicious! It was lovely to have dinner on the patio but I adored the interior decor. Beautiful bar area with Mexican - themed chairs and fun lights. I can't wait to go back! read more

Love the atmosphere and decorations here! They give complimentary chips and salsa, and their food ranges from pretty good to amazing. I recommend the veggie burrito and shrimp torta (although I only got one slice of tomato - the flavors were amazing!). The service was prompt although we did go a little later in the day. read more

Colorful chandeliers and warm interior- busy and welcoming. Great service, fast and friendly. Grabbed a margarita and tacos. The margaritas are over $10 and check out the pics because they are big! Had some tacos with beans and rice. The chips were good, salsa was also. They have some spicy salsas too. You've been warned. Reasonably priced for the amount of food. A good place to eat. read more

Does the food in this photo look good? If you answered yes, congratulations--you've found your people. If you're like the other 99.9999% of humanity and immediately thought, wow, that looks like dog food, I have some advice. This plate of absolute slop cost over $30. For that price, you could eat an entire week of respectable takeout or assemble a tasting menu from the frozen aisle. Instead, you get this. A dish so visually upsetting it lowers your appetite and your expectations. At least fast food knows what it is and doesn't charge fine-dining prices for cafeteria vibes. read more

Their food is awesome. On the weekends they have a shrimp cocktail with plenty of large shrimp, best I have ever had. Their tacos are very good, among the best. I love the ambience there, the Mexican decor is worth seeing. read more

If we could give it zero stars, we would. Time Out Tacos-half beef, half chicken. Not edible. Especially the beef. Made us nearly vomit. Chicken tacos just a tad bit better. Chimichanga, beans and rice also terrible. Never coming back. read more

I've been to this place probably three times now. A little pricey including a tip but I'll go back when I want to spend a little more. Ambiance is relaxed and decor is festive. The drinks are very good. The food is delicious and well presented. Service is attentive and the server's recommendations are always on point. read more

Authentic Mexican decor, complementary salsas and chips, and a friendly server made our first visit enjoyable. A lunchtime order of chicken enchiladas and chicken flautas served with rice and veggie beans and guac was great. Too hungry-so no pics ... but next time for sure. read more

First of all the service and the ambiance is amazing. It's a very lovely place inside, the decor is nice and it's just fun being there. The service was great too, even though we stopped in for a late lunch so there were only a couple other tables. The food is just alright. They have a small lunch menu with $15 items and a larger any time menu. For the most part, the prices are a little too high for the food you get. The menu lacks creativity and originality to be charging these kind of prices. It's chain restaurant food for higher prices. We got the lunch quesadillas, which do come with more than enough food, but the chicken tinga lacked flavor and there was no where near enough cheese in the quesadillas. They were able to do a vegetable quesadilla for my mom, which was nice. The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch. The salsas were tasty and the chips were fresh! A couple tables had margaritas that looked really tasty, but it was the middle of a work day so I skipped. If I come back, I'll try one. Overall, I think the experience was nice but for the quality of food, it was overpriced. read more

Came here with friends - new to us place. The decor of the restaurant is cute, the service was decent, and the options on the menu were plentiful. The pricing was very high in my opinion for Mexican food, but maybe I'm spoiled but other places in the metro area. And I thought the chips, salsa and food was just mediocre. It was ok, if I lived close by, but nothing I'd rush back for or recommend driving to as a destination. read more

We ordered carryout. The prices were all different between Toast & Door Dash. We got the quesa birria with rice and beans... they gave us birria tacos with rice and no beans. We also ordered the Choriqueso and it came with no chips in the bag. When I tried to call, you can hardly hear them on the phones. Don't recommend. read more

Great dinner spot! Came here for a birthday celebration and did not disappoint. The best part is definitely the stunning decor. Everything is from Mexico, and I had a blast looking around at all the beautiful light fixtures. The bathroom tile was also stunning WOW. Got Horchata and the enchiladas dinner. Wonderful presentation and flavorful food. Big portions perfect for lunch the next day. Thanks Aldana! read more

This place was delicious! It felt like an authentic Mexican restaurant in Troy! The service was nice. And the atmosphere wasn't bad at all. It wasn't too loud and the decorations were beautiful. Definitely the authentic feel. The prices on the food were a little pricey, but that's a given for the area as well. But the food was delicious! I ordered the quesadilla birrias lunch portion and it filled me up and was delicious! I would recommend this place and come back here again! read more

The inside of the restaurant was very nicely decorated, the patio looked nice as well. The margarita was served in a very large glass, it was tasty but I couldn't taste the tequila, it was on the weak side. Once I finished the drink I poured my have glass of water into the glass to see that it filled the margarita glass, with the amount of ice it was very deceiving as to how much liquid was actually in the glass. Chips and salsa were good. They give three different kinds of salsa. A mild, a verde salsa and the third I would just call it a hot sauce based on consistency. Tacos were good, although we had a view of the pass and I saw our table's two orders of taco sitting at the pass for over five minutes while the fajitas that were order be ready. My beans and rice were just warm due to this. Of the tacos I thought the chicken tacos were better than the steak taco. Steak was just small bits of meat. The chicken in the fajitas was the best, had a real tasty smokiness to the chicken. Overall I just found it to be very pricy: $20 for three tacos. $29 for fajitas. read more

One of the main reasons I wanted to give Aldana's a try is because the menu was so easy to navigate for vegan and dairy-free dietary restrictions. The complimentary chips and salsa were just how I like my Mexican restaurant chips and salsa. Three salsa options to try with fresh chips, it started the experience off on a good note. I had the veggie burrito with red sauce, which looked more orange, and it was huge! It was delicious and I would order it again next time. While I didn't partake, the margaritas are huge and very good, I was told. The service was great, attentive despite the busy Saturday night and I felt comfortable that my allergies and preferences were taken seriously so I could enjoy my meal. For a table for two we had no wait but larger parties might want to plan ahead as there were several waiting to be seated. I loved the ambiance and decor inside. Colorful light fixtures, murals, traditional Mexican style along with a display of German beer steins above the bar. It felt like a true Mexican family restaurant. read more

This round I was in charge of picking a place for me and my friend to dime while she was in town. The reviews were good on this place so why not - I guess we actually had good timing because this place will get little spurts of crowds then it would be dead. Our server was super friendly made great recommendations especially when it came to the margaritas - Make sure you at least try one and we came not during happy hour So the prices wasn't bad. Only thing that I was not a fan of it's kind of how tight some areas are when you're walking through - they were trying to accommodate a big group which made the other sitting areas a little bit tight but luckily there was not a crowd You just kind of had to weave in and out no straight shot to enter or exit. Would I come back... I definitely would but I will want a booth instead on table on the floor. Happy eating!!! read more

I visited Aldana for dinner on a weeknight, and without a reservation, my sister and I were able to be seated right away on the patio. We sat down and were greeted with chips and salsa (which is always the best part of going to a Mexican restaurant). Their menu is honestly huge so it took me a while to decide what to order, but I ended up going with the chiles rellenos. I didn't add in any extra protein, but it was still very filling! It was very flavorful, served with a side of tortillas, and rice and beans. It was sooo delicious. I was surprised with how fast the food came out! It felt like we had just put in our order and it was already ready. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the prices were fair, the service was great, and the food was excellent. I have no complaints about this place! I will definitely come back! read more

Awesome place to eat in Detroit! It's like stepping into Mexico upon entering this restaurant. There's art everywhere. Something to look at everywhere you turn. Even the bathrooms are fully decorated. The food was also amazing. I ordered the signature margarita along with a Molcajete to share with the friends I brought. The server said it serves 2 but even between 4, we couldn't finish. We did also eat a ton of chips & salsa And a few other things! Definitely recommend to anyone & everyone to come and visit read more

The ambiance and layout of this restaurant is gorgeous! The food is very authentic Mexican food and the staff is very friendly and kind. I ordered the chicken and the beef tacos, and they were decent, however, there was little meat in the ones in which I ordered. I have a preference towards the chicken tacos, as I did not care for the seasoning on the beef. Will be back to try other options on the menu. read more

In regard to the poor reviews I read had a great experience here! Party of 6 on a Saturday around 5:40 seated promptly with chips and salsa, the additional Guacamole and Queso were very good Server was informative and quick with all of our requests and Runner served us all meals within 15 minutes which was faster than I expected. One drink was made incorrectly which she quickly addressed. In my opinion some items were slightly overpriced. but service, ticket time and food was very good. I frequently enjoy a lot of local Mexican restaurants and this is definitely one I'd enjoy returning to seeing how they have improved. Very fun authentic ambience inside as well as an outdoor patio with heat read more

I love the ambiance inside. We were lucky enough to snag a table with no wait. Happy hour was just ending, but I snapped a photo of the happy hour menu for my next visit which will be on Tuesday! My friend had the four street tacos and I had an ala carte fish taco ($7) and a grilled shrimp taco ($8). They are a bit pricier than the tacos I usually get back east. I didn't care for the flounder fish taco. The piece of fish was tiny and dry. Maybe a little chipotle sauce would have added some flavor. The shrimp taco was really good and somewhat worth the price tag. Since I'm staying so close, I will definitely be back for a margarita or two next week. read more

Our waiter, Jeffrey S. was absolutely amazing. His attentiveness and warm personality made our experience so pleasant.

I picked this location just for the Molcajete. It has a generous amount of meat and seafood, and the price reflects it. The chorizo mix in the middle of the bowl was way to spicy to enjoy. I ate what I could of the rest and carried out leaving the chorizo mix. The leftovers were still good. The other orders were typical meals. read more
