    Had a crazy morning with power outage and snow squalls yesterday. Today, coming back from 2 of the…read more3 appts that I had to cancel I was sitting in front of St. Clair # trying to find out who had taco Tuesday. I'd only been here one time before, but I thought the food was excellent, & I knew they were pretty close, so I called. The sweetest young woman told me that they had $2 taco Tuesdays! Beef/chicken, soft/ hard shell. I was honestly so hungry, I took a bite of the middle 1 & that's why it's turned around, and doesn't look all that great. They were excellent. Those tacos were stuffed, I could only eat 1, brought the other 2, home. I didn't eat a whole lot of chips, either, but let's talk about the homemade salsa! Spicy perfection! You can purchase a lg ($8) or small ($4). I got the Lg one, and Pam the #NumeroUno waitress in the entire , was kind enough to put the salsa into 2 containers for me. I was really grateful for that because if I'd had just the lg container, my small household probly wouldn't hv finished it b4 it, expired(?). Pam was just a gem all the way around. Great spot, excellent service, kid friendly...you must visit.

    I was really excited to try Los Pinguinos because I've been hoping to find an authentic Mexican…read morerestaurant nearby. Unfortunately, it completely took away that little glimmer of hope I had. The service is honestly the best part -- the employees are super kind and welcoming, and they always treat you with respect. I really appreciate that about them. But everything else just misses the mark. The ambiance and decor look very cheap and thrown together -- it feels more like they raided a dollar store for decorations. It really needs a lot of work to match the quality you'd expect from a restaurant charging the prices they do. The food is okay -- not terrible, but definitely not great either. It's just average, which would be fine if it were priced fairly. But for what you're getting, it's way too expensive. To make matters worse, they've never gotten my order right, which gets frustrating after giving them multiple chances. Overall, I can't recommend Los Pinguinos. It feels like a waste of money, and I left more disappointed than anything. I wanted authentic flavor and a nice experience, but this just wasn't it.

    I loved everything about this place other than I would have liked more food choices, but that's…read morejust me. We sat outside and you get a great view of Lake Huron. We sat outside on the patio, which has high top or low top cables. The high top tables have benches that are actually permanently attached to the ground so you can't tip them over. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were delicious and came with a side of guacamole. My friend ordered a Wille's burger and it had 2 patties, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and their own special sauce. It came with a side of fries, and there were like an over abundance of fries. The food was all delicious and the waitress was very attentive to our needs.

    Good views and great food! Since I don't drink- I can't tell you about the bar scene…read more First, there is really not a better view to eat in any restaurant in Geand Bend. At the end of the street with Lake Huron in view. On a nice day, you really can't beat it. Only real downside- bees were all over. I know not completely restaurants' fault, but still annoying. I killed 3 or 4 during lunch. We wanted something not too heavy as we were eating a late lunch. I got the fish tacos. Excellent! Great slaw, a little heat, and fresh fried cod. So good. My wife had a spicy chicken sandwich, which she loved. Also loved the fries, which at least seemed house cut. Really good! Our server disappeared a little- that and the bees are the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Great place and would definitely go back!
