    Lunch special beef burrito taco with rice
    Pat P.

    We visited El Tapatio for lunch last week. There are two lunch specials each day for eight dollars. The service was exceptional and Phillipe was very attentive. Our food was rather bland with no seasoning of the meat. The portions are generous, and you can season with their hot sauce. We were surprised to get our bill and the foundation drink was 3.99! Half of the price of the lunch! The highlight was the fresh made salsa. It was so good I purchased some to take home!

    Read about this place on Nextdoor and wanted to try it. It's out of my way but decided to try it as I was driving back through Standale. Got there at 3:30 so was not surprised that I was the only guest between lunch & dinner hours. Glad I stopped. Food was very good though mild in flavors. The server brought me warm chips & salsa. Very good! I got the nachos supreme and had plenty to bring home. I got my husband a number 13 to go. When I got home he sampled everything warm and especially liked the enchilada & chili relleno. He found the burrito a bit too salty for his taste. The restaurant was well lit, clean and inviting. It has multiple rooms & the painted murals on the walls are marvelous! Loved the server Mario. I want to come back and try different things on their lunch menu.

    This place opened in the home of the former de Hop brewing and we were excited to check them out. After a few visits, I can say that it's fine. It's not our favorite but it's nothing we avoid. I like that they have an extensive à la cart menu. Our last visit my husband got the chimichanga dinner and I got one tamale and one chile relleno. The flavors were a little underwhelming, but not bad by any means. It's a great place to hang out for beers chips and queso, and the staff is very kind and attentive.

    There's nothing Mexican about this burrito.

    It's just an overpriced Mexican bar and grill. The food does not stand up to the price. The atmosphere was nice and the waiter great, but the burrito was terrible. I ordered the dry burrito and got a big flower to tortilla with only meat. When I asked for lettuce, tomato, onion, and cilantro and sour cream on my burrito. They just added the vegetables from a fajita plate.

    This place never disappoints. Customer Service is spot on and the food is very good and flavorful. This time around I did not have cocktails, but drinks are nice and strong and happy hour has the best prices. A must try if you're a lover of Mexican food.

    The only pics we got were of our tequila shots  also had the house marg with strawberry and that was delis

    Everybody is super nice, the food is always on point both to go and dining inside. Stopped by for a quick drink and dinner last night and as always our server was attentive and personable. Great Mexican music playing in the back and the vibes of the place is the closest thing I've had to home since moving here from Az a year ago. I seriously swore off all Mexican food in Michigan until giving this place a try

I had a chicken garden salad with French dressing, it was a good size, the other five people had various dishes that all looked tasty. I really liked the way the place was laid out, dark woods, cozy.

We were seated right away and our server was super helpful and had great recommendations. The menu is huge and everything sounded really good. They feature some things that you don't see elsewhere in town, like the Cudighi, which is a Yooper classic! Nate ordered that and I got the firecracker salmon bowl. I really enjoyed the food - the salmon bowl was a good portion and very fresh. I liked the veggies and the flavor was Asian-inspired. The Cudighi sandwich is basically a pizza sub with a spicy sausage patty that's been baked in mustard. It's unique and interesting, and Nate enjoyed it. We don't get to the NW side of town that often, but I would make a special trip to visit Roasted again. They have weekly specials and features, and a Saturday prime rib dinner!

Our waitress was great and provided excellent recommendations based on our tastes. My favorite drink we tried was the gin spritzer with some peppercorns. The classic mojito was also tasty and my friend liked her drink as well. Prices are comparable to what you'd pay at a GR cocktail spot. The good news is free parking, you don't have to hunt for or pay for a spot like when you're downtown. Above The Dungeon is an event space that can be rented out. Overall, a great experience and we're happy to have an upscale place like this near our town.

We thought our drinks looked great but tasted just ok.. our favorite was probably the naked and famous (well-balanced unlike some of their citrus-forward drinks). For food I got the chicken and rice, and the tenders tasted like they'd been previously frozen, the sauce was very thin but decent and the cold rice was a good choice for it. My husband really liked his spicy udon noodles and the presentation was great. Might give them another shot with just drinks next time!

We had to wait about 10 minutes for our table to be ready. The drinks were okay for the price but not particularly memorable. The standout was the NY strip steak, which was easily the best part of the meal and really well done. We also ordered the beer battered fries to start and they were fine, nothing bad but nothing special about them either. My only real complaint is the limited menu availability. Two of the six entrées were already sold out by the time we got there, even though my partner made the reservation weeks in advance. I understand the realities of a farm to table model and respect the commitment to sourcing and seasonality, but on a fixed, high-demand holiday, the limited options were noticeable and slightly disappointing . Overall it was still a good experience, just one that could have been better with a bit more menu flexibility. Hoping to be back on a less busy day in the summer since I really want to love this restaurant!

    This is a restaurant and bar with simulator bays. How fun!…read more Most simulators are set up for just golf but I saw other sports equipment in other bays, so they may have some throwing style games as well. You can eat, drink, and play golf - you can do it all or you can do just one. However, if you plan on playing golf / using a simulator bay, you should call or go online and make a reservation. It gets busy there. I love that they have seasonal cocktails. They had some special ones for st Patrick's day. They also have happy hour M-F from 2-6pm. I booked a bay, it charges per 30 min. The hour was $65. I had one cocktail. I got a briefing on the system and I was on my way to playing a very difficult golf course in South Korea. They have club upgrades but I stuck with the standard bag. I had a great time. Next time I will choose an easier golf course! Also, I believe the server calculates their tip not only on what you buy but also your bay time. So I'll review my check a little closer next time. The sell golf gloves if you need one/forgot yours. There is a small parking lot next to the building or you can park on the street or garage nearby. Bathrooms are on all levels. Fun place. I'll be back.
