Top twenty tacos I've ever had, too bad I don't live here or I'd be here every night. This restaurant well maintained, clean, and while the staff was clearly overwhelmed, was apologetic and polite. The food took a long time, but again, TC had three times the amount of people wandering around downtown than usual, so I don't blame them. There was a large party behind us--also tourists, bc they made that loudly known--whose food seemed to also have been taking a long time. After loudly threatening the lives of T&T waitstaff to surrounding tables in an apparent effort to rally support, they went inside to speak to a manager about the wait times. The manager offered a $50 coupon which seemed more than reasonable--I would have had them trespassed. The party denied it, paid, and left. I write this to commend the professionalism and integrity of the manager who worked that night. Despite the frustration, disrespect, and racism these patrons showed you, you remained courteous and a positive representation of your company. My *only* criticism would be in the disability access. - I noticed that (at least in the women's bathrooms) the stalls have a strange locking mechanism where the lock can be easily pulled out. There are only two stalls, one of which had the lock pulled out; the other lock sat disjointed, making it very difficult to lock properly. Although both stalls had grab bars and extra room (), these locks sucked, and the functioning stall swung outward. - Tall sinks, tall mirrors, tall paper towel dispensers, tall diaper changers. - Also, the aisles are very narrow, making it difficult for a wheelchair to navigate/fit inside.

We had NO silverware until after the guacamole arrived. Dinner arrived shortly after, and was wrong for both parties. Not only was it wrong, but the flour shells were soggy, and the birria had no flavor. This was almost an hour after we arrived, and it wasn't super busy there. We had to ask for the birria sauce as well. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom, and we had to ask twice, and it took about 20 minutes for that to happen. We asked for the silverware several times, and did not get any until after food was at the table. We would not return again, just based on the long service, lack of service, food mix up, and house issues with staff.

My boyfriend and I both agreed that the Pollo taco was too salty, probably due to the corn nuts sprinkled on top. We split a mango margarita and it was soooo good! Great mango flavor and a tajin rim really sealed the deal. Our bartender also split the drink into two smaller glasses without us even asking! Really great service here. The interior is pretty small and there's as much seating outdoors as indoors. Sitting at the bar did feel a little cramped as servers did not have enough space to walk down the narrow isle between the bar chairs and the table chairs.

This is a perfectly serviceable Mexican restaurant -- or really kind of a Tex-Mex-ish/pan-Latin…read morerestaurant that we went to largely for two reasons. One, it was across the street from our hotel. Two, it was Friday night, we were meeting somebody for dinner with hungry children but had no reservations, and when I called them on the phone they were very friendly and suggested we could probably walk in and get a table without waiting. This was true! The food was perfectly serviceable. Chips, queso, shrimp fajitas, quesadillas for the kids (along with wikistix to play with!), a large range of margarita-ish options I didn't try. The service was a little strange but ultimately patient and friendly. I am not saying it's going to make any of the top-foodie lists of Traverse City (an increasingly foodie town), but it might be just what you need in similar circumstances.

After years of looking, I finally found the most authentic Mexican food that rivals and exceeds some of my favorite places from where I grew up.

Honestly, the best home cooked style Mexican food in Traverse City, and it's not even close. Kind of a down and dirty spot, but pleasant enough visually. Sometimes the place is filled with smoke and fryer grease fumes. I won't go in when it's like that. And hopefully they get it worked out. No alcohol served (that I'm aware of) Sadly, staff attitudes, dismissiveness, disrespectful attitudes toward customers, often closed during open hours, with no sign. If you come in within 15 minutes of closing, they will announce to you that "We are closing." We've seen it happen to a number of guests, who are wondering what they did wrong, to get scolded. The staff apparently feels, if the restaurant closes at 7 PM, they should be walking out the door at 7:01 PM. That would be nice, but that's not how it works. What this tells us is, there is a skilled Mexican chef, real home cooking, behind this place. But there is no management skill or discipline. That also makes me worry about cleanliness and sanitation, because if you have no principles and no guidance or leadership, you can't expect a staff of, essentially children, to perform as adult professionals. Probably the hardest review I've ever had to write, and I hope they fix the BS with the staff. Food is absolutely delicious.

But to my families dismay I still wanted Mexican! Luckily and to our surprise we found this little gem in a strip mall. From the outside it appears a little sketchy but in our experience that's where we've found the best, most authentic Mexican food in the past. Upon entering, the sounds of mariachi fill the air and the walls covered in colorful murals. The staff was friendly and greeted us with their masked smiles This is an EXPRESS restaurant, which means you order at the counter and wait for your food to be delivered to your table. The food came quickly & The taste definitely makes up for the slight lack of atmosphere. I ordered the Beef Chimi (it was a tough decision between that and the Carne Asada) YUM, seasoned beef, inside a perfectly fried tortilla covered with cheese! The rice and beans were also very tasty and cooked perfectly.
