Take a seat anywhere you like; we chose to sit at the bar. This is a well-equipped bar for such a casual setting: Dos Equis, Modelo, Bell's, and Sierra Rose hard cider. Waaaaay better than Chi-Chis (and any real Mexican restaurant I can think of, too). And, my wife ordered a margarita, and she loved it. Best of all, the price was very reasonable: $17 after tip for the margarita and a large Dos Equis. Food orders are placed at a separate counter, and they are ready quickly. A single fish taco is a good size, and only costs $4.75. The daily special is $10.29, and includes two tacos, rice, and beans, with a small up charge for the fish tacos. I feel like I've traveled back in time to the last century with these prices. The fish tacos are outstanding. The fish is freshly prepared, and not fried. You will want to get more than one to make it a meal, and the rice and beans in the combo are a nice complement. The rice could have used more seasoning, but this is easily corrected by mixing in some salsa. This is truly a wonderful find.

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!

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.

There's no place like home! We have been going to Bandito's for 25 years! I started out at KP's location in downtown A2 and today we met my childhood friend (since we were 5!) and her husband and introduced them to Bandito's! We were pleasantly greeted by KP and chose our seating for lunch. Menus were brought out as we sat down and we ordered Frozen Strawberry Daquiris. They arrived quickly along with our waters. Food was ordered and as always, delivered quickly. The restaurant was filling up as it was lunch time, but that didn't stop the owner from waiting on all the tables along with Anjeet. As I remembered, no disappointment at all - everyone's dish was hot and delicious. The chips were just as I remembered - delish! The new location is better than the previous. Larger restaurant, beautifully designed with bright colors, bigger tables and larger booths. Great decision on the owners part for relocating - greater parking area and bonus not having to pay for parking either! If you are looking for a great place to pop in for lunch or dinner - this is your place. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!!! read more

I have been going here for several years and the food never dissappoints. The sauces have great flavor and the salsa is one of my favorites. As a vegetarian, I love the fact that the beans are not cooked with lard and they have a lot of vegetarian choices, including combo plates. For the meat eaters, I have heard the chicken is moist and the beef is pretty regular, but enhanced by the delicious sauces. My friends and I joke that they put crack in the burritos because after a few times of eating, you can't wait to go back. If you go, I suggest a burrito to get the most of your money. You can save some for later, and you won't be sorry. read more

Banditos is a gem in Ann Arbor. From the moment you walk in, you're transported to a relaxed, coastal oasis with a great ambiance that perfectly blends modern elegance with Mexican inspired charm. The service was wonderful - warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every dish we tried was a standout - fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. The food was truly incredible, with thoughtful presentation and bold, authentic taste. Whether you're looking for a date night spot or a place to unwind with friends/ family, Banditos is a must-visit. read more

I cried while eating my burrito...and I'm a tough guy. It wasn't too hot or too unbearable for my manliness, but it was overwhelmingly delicious. The olives, mixed with the white onions, mixed with the tomatoes, which was then smothered in Unicorn Tears (aka that special Salsa of theirs) and topped with gauc and other 'noms--too good. I'm getting emotional just reflecting on it now. Anyway, try it for yourself. Bring a box of Kleenex. read more

The decor and music make for a fun first impression on just walking in. Menu is extensive and lots of fun things to try! For being our first visit, I wanted to stick to some "classics". I ordered their classic margarita, Tacos Al Pastor, and a Ceviche starter to split. My husband got a Burrito Deluxe. Complimentary chips and salsa dropped on the table with waters shortly after we sat down. Both chips and salsa were tasty! The margarita was huge, and pretty good. Just a touch on the sweet side for me, but not too syrupy sweet or anything. Maybe just a little too much volume. Really enjoyed the ceviche! Had generous chunks of fish, and was fun to eat with our chips basket. Fresh and flavorful. The Tacos Al Pastor were so good!! It came with three tacos, a dipping sauce, and a side of beans and cheese. The meat was very juicy, had great flavor, and complemented with the pineapple, onions, cilantro, and sauce. Beans were tasty too but a lot. Ended up taking most of them home and they went into my lunch the next day. Overall great dining experience, and fair prices for the huge portions.

For the price, STUFD where it's at. The have a pretty big menu including tofu which is nice…read more Servings are big and they always get the orders right even with modifications. There's several stairs outside to get in so it's not conducive to all unfortunately.
