Be careful. The owner doxes people who give bad reviews by listing their full address. This is a felony.
Jeff J.

Food was bland. This is no where close to Mexican food. It was also very expensive but expensive food in my opinion should match the quality of the food

Chips & Salsa
Tasha L.

We have been coming here for decades. It is a fresh, unique take on California-style Mexican food, featuring the best salsa you will find in the Ann Arbor region. Featuring a wide array of vegetarian options, plenty of parking, and a fun, family atmosphere. We have been coming here for decades.

Beef quesadilla

EXCELLENT food! We had the beef and cheese quesadillas with rice and beans and they were fabulous! Beautifully decorated dining room. We will be returning to this fine restaurant!

Love this place! Delish food and very nice folks! Been coming here for like 30 years since they were downtown!

Super cute spot with lots of charming ethnic decor. It was nearly empty when I visited. Food was average and took a while, but prices were fair. Nice vibe, just needs a bit more energy and quicker service.

Had such a lovely time with my girls! The ambiance is very colorful and fun. The service is wonderful and they are so kind.

Clumpy cheese from nachos.
Seana G.

This place is yuck. The restaurant was completely empty when we walked in, and that should have been our first warning. The nachos came out with cold chips and shredded cheese that wasn't even melted. The salsa tasted like it came straight from a store-bought jar, nothing fresh about it. The enchiladas were just as bad. The cheese inside was cold and clumpy. Nothing was hot, nothing had flavor. The food was bland and forgettable. When we told the manager, he got defensive instead of apologizing. He just said, "Fine, pay at the register," like we were the problem. Then he actually tried to argue that the cheese was real cheese and should be melted. What does that even mean? This place is a mess from top to bottom. Don't believe the social media videos. Save your time, your taste buds, and your money.

Chicken Quesadillas
Kari A.

The food was pretty good, seems like a nice family owned business. We had two different waiters and they were nice but a little confusing to flag down. I would recommend it though!

I LOVE THIS! Restaurant is clean, aesthetic and incredibly delicious prices for the food:) I absolutely recommend this for all CUAA students next door and U of Mich! perfect spot with plenty of parking, clean restrooms. And big portions for the food. Thanks Singh!

3 Hard Shell Mix
Alina S.

I had been wanting to try this since I heard that all their meat is halal. I went here for dinner with a friend and was so surprised by the kind and thoughtful service! I couldn't decide what meat to get so I got three crunchy tacos one with shredded chicken, one with ground beef and one with pulled beef. We also got the chips and salsa. It was soo tasty and fresh! All were delicious but the pulled beef was PHENOMENAL! The food was so delicious and the vibes were nice. I will most definitely be eating here again!

Dos Hermanos Express - Three taco dinner

We had a great experience at Dos Hermanos Express! My husband got a Build Your Own Burrito with…read moredouble steak and chicken. He did this because the standard meat portions are pretty small, but the flavors are fantastic!! I got the veggie burrito and I loved it as well. Service was great and it was very nice inside. After our burritos, we got ice cream from the ice cream counter and their portions are HUGE! My husband got a medium with Cookie Monster and strawberry cheesecake and I got a small ferrero rocher ice cream. They were phenomenal and I genuinely can't stress enough how much they fill the cups with ice cream. Amazing flavors and really kind customer service at the ice cream counter as well. I really recommend Dos Hermanos Express. You will love it!

Tried takeout here for the first time recently and it won't be our last! I was in the mood for…read morenachos (though when am I not?) but also kind of into the idea of a quesadilla? I'm big on ordering enough for multiple meals so I went with the nachos and a kid's steak quesadilla and got 3 meals out of the deal! The kid's portion came with two mini quesadillas and a side of rice and they were definitely generous with the steak portions! They had hearty chunks of steak, perfectly cooked and seasoned, surrounded by a nice melty cheese. Really tasty! For my nachos I went with the carnitas though I think they may have accidentally given me the al pastor as I bit into more than a few chunks of pineapple, which honestly was not my favorite when blended with the other elements of the nachos. I'd definitely get them again but I think I'd pick a different protein just in case. Probably the steak since it was so good in the quesadillas. I went through less than half of the nachos since they were a huge portion and tucked away the rest in the fridge for the next day. Sure, nachos don't always reheat great but I tossed mine under the broiler to crisp everything back up and then added some fresh chips on the side and it was perfect. I still had a few leftovers even after that and took the rest of it and added an egg on top for a makeshift chilaquiles dish! Pretty good! My one regret was not trying the churros but I'll definitely be doing that the next time!

I really did not have high expectations for a Midwest Mexican restaurant, but here I stand, mostly…read morecorrected. Miny's is an Ann Arbor staple. A small taco shop in a nondescript strip mall, Miny's is turning out some seriously impressive and authentic tacos on par with places I love in Southern California. My friends and I swung by around dinnertime and while it was not crowded, there was a steady flow of customers and take-out orders. There is no dining area, but there are tables outside where one can sit and eat. I ordered 3 tacos: al pastor, cabeza, and Cameron, with spicy salsas on the side. The total was about ~$13. The first thing that stood out to me was the size. These were some hefty tacos, lovingly double-wrapped in pliable, warm, corn tortillas and neatly packaged for takeout. Salsa can be hit or miss but the salsas here were SO GOOD. Made in-house, they add the perfect moisture and flavor to each bite. Their green salsa has a mild, tingling kick, and tastes very rich and refreshing. The orange creamy salsa, however, stole the show. It is spicier than the green, and has a super addicting smokiness that enhances, but doesn't overpower, every bite. I was bright red and sweating but could not put this salsa down. The al pastor taco was my favorite. Sweet, soft, smoky pork with the crunch and freshness of onions and cilantro, drenched in the above salsas, simply divine! I wish it had come with pineapple for a pop of sweetness, but it was still a super good taco. I was thrilled to see that Miny's offered cabeza and lengua, as they are cuts of meat less familiar to the average American diner. I opted for cabeza and was greeted with a pile of soft, collagen-rich meat, bursting with juice and oil. The meat by itself is definitely a bit bland so the salsas did the heavy lifting in terms of flavor. The gooey-soft texture though, that was all due to the perfectly cooked meat. This was a pricier taco than the Al pastor, and there was definitely a bit less meat than in the Al pastor, but still a very good taco. The shrimp taco impressed me the least. The shrimp were unseasoned and looked to be boiled. While bouncy and tender cooked in this way, I prefer the char and juiciness of grilled shrimp in my tacos. In addition, I tend to expect my seafood tacos to have a slaw on them, versus the standard onions and cilantro. With the salsas, this taco was fine, but I would not order it another time. A very healthy but uninspired taco. Overall, for where it's located and what it is, Miny's does some amazing tacos, though I will probably skip the seafood ones next time. I will be DREAMING of that orange salsa, and now understand why on their menu, they sell it by the carton.
