I got the chicken combo and it was fine - the chicken in the taco was dried and the quesadilla was a little burnt in places. The enchilada was fine. My friend got the maguey taco and it was more like a burrito, but they said it was good. I was just kind of underwhelmed. The waitress was very nice though. The restaurant gave an authentic vibe but some of the decor was questionable...I'll say, some wall decor was not family friendly.

Had to start with a Margarita, of course, and it was fine. Could may have a touch more alcohol, but was very tasty. The chips and two salsas were yummy, but my main course was the Tijuana Combination - one beef burrito, one mole cheese enchilada and once spicy chicken tostada. I'm no expert on mole but this was maybe the best I've ever had! The burrito was delish but, OMG, the spicy chicken in the tostada was outstanding! I seldom finish my plate but did today! Very friendly service and new owner is a nice young man with plans to upgrade the building, but I hope they maintain the cozy ambience. We will be back - again, and again!!

Corn chips are thick, crispy and a bit too hard. $53.19 The hot salsa is bad, better mixed with the house salsa. The guacamole doesn't have a ton of flavor, just creamy, still ok. The flautas are small, 4 small ones with the dinner. I asked for beans only and on the side, got beans covered with cheese. I had asked the waitress about the order being wrong. She looked agitated. She went to take my plate away. I said not to bother, I don't trust her to not spit in my food, she looked like she wanted to hurt me. The tostadas is covered with too much iceberg. The chicken quesadillas are thin and subpar. Meal was average. The service left a lot to be desired for me.

I myself am partial to the authentic corn tortilla tacos with the onions and cilantro. This time around I got asada (steak), lengua (tongue) and the crispy beef tripe. It was a wonderful meal as usual, and the decor of the restaurant is one of the best I've seen in a Mexican restaurant. The food is made to order, so expect to wait a little for your meal because it is nice and fresh when you get it. The only major complaint I have are the tortilla chips and salsa they serve you before your meal. The chips are boring and stale while the salsa is very loose and lacking flavor. If you can overlook them this is the best taqueria in this part of metro Detroit easily!

You can't go wrong with their birria tacos, which come with rice and beans--always a solid choice. Their chicken and steak tacos are both delicious and reasonably priced.

The torta was sort of a cross between bread and a tortilla, toasted but still somewhat fluffy. I splurged and got a horchata, which is a treat for me. It's a sort of thin milkshake, with a hint of malt flavor. Yummy. The portions were large enough that I took half the torta home. The co-diner got a chicken burrito, which was grilled and also huge. For an extra treat, the TV was showing Spanish language soaps, with musical accompaniment. Always a nice feature in a homey Mexi an restaurant. To summarize: muy bien!

I've been here three times and it has always been good, especially the salsa, but the food preparation times are slow. The first time I was there, I just assumed it was because they had recently opened, but it seems to just be consistently slow. Something to be aware of if you are used to traditional taqueria speeds. They seem to be aware of this and I will give them the benefit of assuming it has something to do with the quality of the food. Give it time and it will be well worth the wait.

After a review on chow Detroit asking the community to support Struggling Sylvan Lake Mexican…read moreRestaurant, I decided to do just that. I stopped in and asked how long a carryout order would take. I was told 20-25 minutes, so I ordered two shrimp tacos, two chicken tacos, and a chicken pizza. I let them know I would wait in my car and asked them to call me when my order was ready. After waiting 30 minutes without a call, I went back inside and noticed several tables that had been seated after I placed my order had already received their food. I asked the gentleman at the register about my order, and after checking, he told me it was only halfway done. I asked how much longer it would be, and after checking again, he said about another eight minutes. While I was waiting, yet another table that had arrived well after I placed my order was served. I mentioned to the waitress that this didn't seem right, and her response was simply, "That's just how long it takes." I explained that if carryout was actually going to take 45 minutes, I should have been told that upfront. I would never have chosen to wait that long. What disappointed me most wasn't just the delay--it was the lack of communication and the lack of concern. A sincere apology or an honest update would have gone a long way. I genuinely wanted to support a local business that was asking for community support, but unfortunately, based on this experience, I won't be returning.

They don't have soft drinks or water cups so you'd need to get a drink from their cooler. I was impressed with them having displayed fresh veggies, it makes eating-out a little more bearable when you're able to see the freshness of your meal. Delicious, the chicken tacos didn't look super seasoned but boy was I surprised! Super flavorful, and I loved that each entree came with grilled onions, jalapeño, 2 salsas (red and an avocado creama), and 2 lime slices! I always stick to the corn tortillas, they're far better than flour, if you're new to this sort of stuff. Only grievance is that my friend found a TWIG in his burrito while eating the second half. He was 75% done with the burrito, and since it wasn't glass, metal, plastic, or body hair, we didn't complain. He was grossed out ... but I just figured it was an honest mess up from either the limes or cilantro. If he started with that half and noticed it earlier in his meal, he probably would've told the staff. I would absolutely return here. Generous portions of meat and very flavorful!!!
