portion is horrible!! 1 chicken breast cut up for chicken fajitas and 2lbs of vegetables $17 it was enough meat for 1 1/2 tortilla would have been perfect if it was a vegetarian burrito very disappointed read more

El Nibble Nook - Mexican Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

Maybe it's because I moved here from San Diego that I was spoiled with the word authentic, but I really cannot say this is really authentic, though maybe for the Midwest. I do like the food at El Nibble Nook and for the price you get a nice helping portion but I need to convince my Cali-born and raised fiancé that El Nibble Nook is the closest we'll get to "Authentic" Mexican food in Michigan. read more

4 stars for Mexican food only because so many Mexican restaurants are just going down the drain. This may be one a the few places left that actually has decent food and good service. Our waitress was sweet and actually took care of the table. The place was clean and taken care of. The food was quite good along with the pomegranate margarita (delish!!). Steer clear of their Livonia location - it is the complete opposite of this one. read more

Well, every time that we are there, the service is just Amazing, the employees show that they love their jobs and they care about the customers very well, of course, the Food dishes are always hot and terrific, and this Restaurant has a very, very friendly Family atmosphere. And than the after hours are filled with Great Friends, Food, Music & Fantastic Drinks! read more

Just disappointed in someway with this place Everytime. Seriously if it closes I won't be surprised.

First time visitors. The tacos and cheese were so greasy! The salsa tasted like it came out of can. The wait staff was not shy to voice their opinions and gossip about how horrible the place was to work for and how miserable they were. They were so short staffed that we waited 10 minutes before we got our check. read more

This place has been a mainstay for Mexican dining in our area for years. It has I believe a good reputation. I've been here numerous times over the last 25 years always at someone else's suggestion. I've never been impressed. Went again tonight. Friday around 7. Let me just say the service and the willingness to please are outstanding. Wish I could say the same about the food which was abysmal. Really lacking in effort. I ordered the chicken fajitas. They were about $5 more than I have ever paid for the same dish. I expected a good experience. Normally they come out on a sizzling iron dish. These came out on a basic plate. Not only were the ingredients not sizzingly they were room temperature. The ingredients were also lacking in volume. About half of what is normally provided. The tortillas ( 3) were equally disappointing. Normally these are steamed so they are soft and hot. These were again room temperature and harder than they should be served . Right out of the old plastic bag! Just ugh! Middle School cafeteria quality. My 2 fellow dinners were also not happy with the food. Shame on this place. So little effort. Just trying to get by. read more

Very good Mexican. The tiawana bypass is the way to go. Food is fresh and a lot of it. Their salsa sucks though. Basically tomato pAste. I suggest their enchiladas and tacos. Very good! Crunchy. Also grab some margaritas on the rocks. read more

El Nibble Nook - Mexican Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

Always a wonderful place to eat and relax. Food and margaritas are awesome! Staff is always welcoming and very friendly.

Went here recently on a Sunday afternoon. Wow what a great dining experience. The Mexican dishes that we had were delicious & hot. Service with Claudette was impeccable. She is an experienced server who suggested various items on the menu. She made our dining experience very pleasurable. Especially when the food came out & was what she described was exactly prepared that way. Do try this restaurant if you are in the mood for Mexican you won't be disappointed. read more

Tried this place on a recommendation and it was pretty bad. Chips and salsa were bland and tasted like they were just from the store. I ordered chicken fajitas on recommendation from our waitress. They were awful. Not on a sizzling platter but just on a plate. No taste at all, super bland. And they were $17.50! Rice tasted like the package Spanish rice you can make at home. read more

We enjoy eating here and have for years. Wait staff friendly, food fresh and reasonably priced. Current issue is constantly out of vegetarian trio, a favorite of ours. We have mentioned a few tomes our disappointment in lack of food stock. Not late in the evening but seem to be unprepared for vegetarian choices. read more

The pollo Blanco is hands down, the best dish! Margaritas are prefect. You can tell they make their own simple syrup! Can't go anywhere else for a margarita now... Great service to top everything else! read more

Great for some Mexican and margaritas. Good food good service. Recommended by me. Not much else to say, but yelp is making me add more. Eat at el nibbles if you're hungry. Drink there if you're looking to get a buzz. read more

I had high hopes for this place, since it's so very very close to my new house. I got the chicken enchiladas as a carry out, and we were both a little disappointed. It's not that they were bad, per se, but they weren't what we were expecting. Rather dry, and some unexpected (in a not great way) flavors were in there. We'll definitely try again, and eat-in this time to see if the experience is better. The service was extremely friendly, and the food was ready for me by the time I arrived to pick it up, so they are definitely worth a second chance. This time I'll read more reviews first and see what the local favorites are. read more

This place is just bad. If the service was outstanding I might go back but considering the staff who is, at best apathetic, and, at worst rude, there's no reason to eat the bland food. The deal killer last time we went was the warm flat pop that server didn't even try to fix or apologize for. read more

This restaurant is horrible. We eat here prob once a year, and each time i say were never coming back. Now i'm writing it down so i'll be sure to remember. First, I broke my Golden Rule - no carryout Mexican. I like crunchy items, and these items dont make it home crunchy. The mexican pizza is the worst ive ever had. Taco Bell would have been better. The hard tacos are so greasy. The mild salsa tastes like thick tomato sauce. I honestly cant find one nice thing to say... Ok. Their chips are good. But who can F up homemade tortilla chips??? Never. Eating. Here. Again. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is consistently good. Service is always good.

Visiting my parents we came here for my last night before I headed out of town. It's OK. It has sentimental meaning to my parents. Food was fair. Place was pretty much empty. Service decent. There have got to be better places for Mexican fare to go. read more

Going to have to give it a thumbs down. First off, walking in we were not even acknowledged nor greeted by anyone! My boyfriend and I were clueless as to where the staff was and whether we should take it upon ourselves to go and sit down. The beef Tacos were okay for not being an authentic Mexican restaurant but everything else was not very good. I understand we came to dinner an hour before closing but to me that is no excuse for poor service and not so good food. I wouldn't go back .. I've heard the Livonia El Nibble Nook is much better!! Maybe I'll try that one out. Needless to say, my craving for Mexican food that night was not satisfied! read more

Nice decor, friendly staff, food is terrible. My enchiladas were greasy and rather bland. My wife's tacos tasted like paper. Fix your food and this could be a great place to eat. read more

Good choice for lunch or dinner. Usual and unusual mexican dishes including botana with pickle slices. Bar and grill type of establishment. Another location in Farmington Hills at 8 mile and Grand River. This location is better. read more

Nice and Hot, Chips and good Salsa! Love the spinach burritio! El verda! Yum, yum, yummy!! White cheese, flour shell, red sauce, more cheese!! Very tasty!! I love this location!! Not, so thrilled about the Livonia location. That one seems a little dirty (may not be the same owner's, hopefully!) read more

My husband said El Nibble Nook was "whelming" as in the food was so underwhelming it was almost overwhelmingly bad. Though I will say they are a fine haired notch better than Mexico Lindo. Grats, it's not Alpo! I'm very conflicted on how to give this place a rating. We were sat in the very back of a nearly empty restaurant. Our server was a bit abrupt but nice enough. We asked for recommendations and took her advice on the appetizer and ordered a chica size Botanas. I didn't take her advice on dinner, not sure it would have mattered much though. The Botanas were tortilla chips, maybe 8, smothered in refried beans and cheese with some peppers, tomatoes, 3 pieces of avocado and 2 small pieces of dried out sausage. By "piece" I'm talking 1/4" thick rounds that were then cut in half. My husband stole the first piece, luckily?? we then managed to find a second piece so I could try it. Oh, and it had green olives on it too. A very odd combination, but maybe it's good with better ingredients. As for the salsa, someone else mentioned stewed tomatoes and that's pretty accurate. I've had worse things labeled as salsa before. The chips weren't bad but they are not fresh. Then dinner came! My husband ordered the Enchiladas de Jocque. This is supposed to be a spicy chicken with a ranchero sauce on it. It looked okay, but he said it was very bland. I ordered the Chicken Chimichanga. The chimi was cooked perfectly!! The tortilla was just slightly browned and perfectly crunchy. However, the chicken in it tasted like barbecue chicken. There wasn't anything remotely mexican, texmex, or southwest about it. I can't say it was "bad" as the chicken was tender but if I'm at a mexican place I don't expect to get barbecue! The beans are canned. The rice looked like it should be good, but alas it was just rice with more stewed tomatoes thrown in and left to dry out. Fortunately we had a groupon. Still $20 I could have better spent somewhere else, like the Sonic across the street or gone over to Pontiac for some good and truly authentic mexican food. read more

Years ago this was my daughters fav. So I took her there after purchasing a living social coupon. Salsa was canned tomato sauce, NOTHING added! Chips were old. Beans were dried out and crusty on top, All in all horrible mexican food. I make better mexican food at home! Dont go there!!! read more

I have been a fan of this restaurant for over 40 years. I'm sad to say, tonight was the last trip. My husband and I travel from Dexter to go there. Where to start, the chips were stale, the cole slaw tasted old, the enchiladas went from three to two, there was way too much sauce and sour cream (the recipe for the sauce had obviously been altered) and there was an inordinate amount of beans and rice. The only redeeming feature of this mess was the Fried Ice Cream. So another go to restaurant is gone, I'll miss what used to be El Nibble Nook. read more

The chimichangas were extremely tasty. Being my first time at the restaurant I decided to ask my waitress what she recommends and the high quality service and food did not disappoint! Very impressed and I look forward to going again. read more

El Nibble Nook - Decided to order the chicken Chimichangas and was absolutely impressed by the high quality of the food! - Mexican Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

Worst attempt at Mexican food in the area. Taco Bell is better and much cheaper. I'm shocked they're still open.

I have been eating at El Nibble Nook since I was a child (the original location) and now at the Bloomfield location with my husband. We drive 35-40 min. to get here because it's so good. Have never been disappointed by the food or the service. read more

I liked this place a lot. It was my first time there and the staff was friendly and prompt. The food was very good. I definitely recommend it to everyone! read more

This was some of the worse food I have ever eaten. Extremely disappointed. Beans were a hard, dry lump. Rice was hard and tasted like they were mixed with ketchup. Guacamole was old and brown. Pop tasted very odd. I got the chicken fajitas and was expecting a delicious dish for their outrageous price of $17, and boy was I wrong! Chicken was rubbery and didn't even come out on a skillet! It tasted like packaged freezer chicken. And it was a very small portion of meat, comparable to a lunch size fajita at other places. Taco Bell has better quality food than this place. Will not be returning. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is outstanding staff is great and it's a great place my husband and I enjoy on date night. The original location on Grand River is fantastic too. I'll be a customer for life. Kudos to El Nibble Nook! read more

Food was not warm when I went there for late dinner which was not my choice. Have had Mexican before out West and on Vernor Ave. in the city, not sure what this was. read more

My family and i have been coming here for years and i cant get enough. Its a bummer this place has such a low rating. I guess you cant please everyone. Ive had a lot of the menu items and liked all of them. I love that they have different items you wont find at other mexican places. The salsa is simple and pretty good. The rice is ok and the beans could use a little water sometimes but taste good to me. And people need to drop the "beans strait from a can" bit. Get real. Why would any mexican restaurant (not just this one) cheat on the easiest and cheapest item they serve. Its common sense. Iv had canned beans like twice in my life (i usually make my own) and they taste nothing like any beans from any mexican place. So pipe down! The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. I have yet to find a better margarita anywhere. Its nice to actually get some alcohol instead of sour mix on the rocks like most places. There is a reason this place has been around for such a long time and i hope it continues to serve our area. read more

As far as Mexican goes, this place was well above average. They make their own chips, and their salsa was very good. I had a shredded beef burrito and it was quite good. The reason I gave 3 stars is I've eaten a lot of authentic Mexican food, particularly in the southwest, and it's just hard to compete with the real deal! read more

Is it the best Mexican I've ever had? No. Is it the worst? No. They have some interesting options like a spinach burrito/quesadilla. They go a little overboard on the spinach in the quesadilla, but it was still okay anyhow. Our server was quick. I do think they prices are a bit much for the quality of food though. I will agree that the salsa is nothing to write home about, tastes pretty generic. read more

Excellent Mexican Restaurant, ambient and cozy little place, ambient, a bit on the pricey side but perfect for a family get together. As a vegetarian, I love their El Burro Verde, a delicious blend of spinach, stuffed in cheesy burritos, with rice, salad and beans. It's better to make a reservation, since it can get busy. read more

My wife and I recently moved back to Michigan from Southern CA and we were looking for a good Mexican style restaurant. This is not it. I realize we were very spoiled for years living in the southwest. I ordered the beef enchiladas and they were way to salty. Made with ground beef. I asked the waitress if they had carne asada and she had never heard of it. Margaritas were decent. Come on folks, you can do better. read more

This place has some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Let's just drop the Mexican part, and call it food. The salsa is like tomato sauce (seriously, I think it's just that). I'm not sure how they've stayed in business so long. read more

I've been going here with my family for a few years now. The service has always been good. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I get the feeling that they enjoy working there. At most Mexican restaurants, either the beans or rice will have some meat (chicken stock, lard, etc.), but El Nibble Nook makes both rice and beans vegetarian (definitely a plus). Also, their menu is very vegetarian friendly: there are a number of options, but they can also make other entrées vegetarian. Good for picky eaters like me. The food is definitely not authentic, but if you want authentic, go to California or Texas. The portions are a good size - I always end up getting a take-home box. Also good for my deep-fried ice cream cravings. read more
