    Enchiladas-cheese and bean
    Maureen B.

    We have been to this restaurant before and today was pretty good. The enchilada sauce was a bit greasy for me. Not sure I would get again. I don't recall this before. The tostadas were good overall. Service was a bit slow but they are always busy here. Not an issue as the staff is very nice. It is a casual Mexican dining experience. We will return again but maybe just stick with the tostadas or veggie quesadilla as we are vegetarian and they don't have a lot of options. Churros are a must have! Try it for yourself.

    Ordered the chimichangas...
    Amy M.

    Pretty disappointed. The server was sweet enough, but new, and reflected as such. I'm new to the area and was hopeful and exited to try this place. First, I ordered the chimichangas, which should have been a total of, I'm assuming, 4 small chimichangas. I received a burrito instead. So clearly the kitchen and the server didn't know the difference. After that mistake, the server cashed my bill of a single dinner (not the dinner I ordered) and water for another couple's dinner bill. Of which, I ended up paying a little more than my own bill. Sad to say, I was not impressed, and will not be back, nor recommend.

    Taco and glorious tostada!!!

    OMG BECKY!!! If you want delicious Mexican food, look no further!!! This is absolutely amazing food. It has the original taste of southwest Detroit. I had the combo with the taco, enchilada, and tostada. The enchilada had a kiss of mole sauce in it. It was mouth watering. The taco was one of the best I have ever had. I had to save the tostada for my lunch the next day. Veronica was our server, and she made us feel like we were at her house. We tried all three hot homemade sauces, and I highly recommend them. The fried ice cream was superior to most. It was super creamy and not at all oily. I absolutely adore mexican food, you will not be disappointed at all. Stop in on Tuesday they have taco specials $2 dollars. I can't wait to go back!!! I love this place. Only downfall, no margaritas!!!!

    The location was just publicly opened on 03/15 this seems to be a seasoned business! Went with my GF on a Saturday around 4pm there was a line about 8 people deep but did move with no issues. The location has parking in the back a few spots in the front the parking needs some TLC The restaurant is simple no thrills which is fine stick with good service and food! The staff was very nice and was able to get items out in a good time even with a packed house. The food was very good Chips and Salsa was good, the salsa wasn't chunky but more smooth and the chips were good (Free refills) I got the Super Burrito which was half chicken half steak with 3 different sauces. It was stuffed with beans/rice and lettuce. The burrito stuffed me to a point I was about to take a nap on the bench. It was nicely flavored and overall very good.... For me I'd go for another dish next time, just because I want to try other things. My GF got the Chicken Fajita Burrito she loved it and couldn't finish it and took it home We got flavored lemonade which was fantastic with free refills. Overall the meal sat us back $40 not including tip. If your in St Clair swing by this little place is going to be big if it keeps up what we experienced tonight

    Great food and great service. Large portions, you'll have some to take home. Lots of parking and not too crowded inside

    Birria Burrito

    3 strikes....I went the first week on that Friday, and they didn't open. 1) Snow, no employees, and no food were their reasons for not opening. 2) Went back 3 weeks later with Mexican colleagues and the food was all lacking flavor. I would have bet there was no salt, lime, or any spices in the back. We waited 50 minutes to eat and they even didn't put in one of the fajitas orders and had to 'rush' a double order. 3) I had a friend pick me up a birria burrito another two later than that and I am not sure about the execution of the dish. They shot some sour cream on the burrito so you really can't pick it up and the consommé had about a quarter inch of oil on top...took 3 napkins to soak enough oil off to taste the flavorless greasy juice. Good thing Taco Bell is right around the corner.

    Let me start by saying that this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Michigan and we celebrated my…read moreSons Birthday here two months ago and we were a party of eight. Now here we are celebrating another family members Birthday and we were a party of seven tonight (Six of us were from the previous celebration)... stay with me, there's a point I'm going to make. So, we all had very different orders and drinks two months ago and everything was fabulous as it always is and it just so happens that we got the same Waitress tonight that we had before and not only did she remember us, but she also remembered what each one of us ordered. I mean food AND Drinks... down to the Sugar Rim on the Margaritas and the side shots on some other drinks being served! She even remembered that I ordered Lime and Cilantro on the side of my meal and had a preference of Corn Tortillas! COME ON MAN!!! PIA IS AMAZING!!! Juan Miguel's... I don't know what you guys are paying this young woman, but whatever it is... it is not enough! She is phenomenal! Don't get me wrong, we come there for the fantastic food but Pia has made the experience something much more special than we anticipated. She's truly the type of employee that you ALWAYS take care of. She's good for business. We'll see you guys next month. We told her so and we know one thing for certain... SHE WON'T FORGET!

    I try to post the positive reviews. We eat authentic Mexican on a VERY regular basis. So I feel…read morecompelled and qualified to post this one. Overall meal - average. Important point - their salsa served with chips before and with the meals is overloaded with chili powder (dark color) and would make an amazing base for chili. We didn't finish either dish due to the salsa and were really hungry by the time we arrived after traveling. The restaurant was semi full so must be some like that. For us - no bueno! Won't be back. We were kind about our critique and waitress received it well. Restaurant was clean and well kept. I mean this with kindness - Recuerdos! (Best wishes) PS: shockingly waitress agreed with us and stated she doesn't recommend the restaurant even though she works there. Try it for yourself and see if it works for you though.

    Kibbeh Nayeh! Saw this on their Meta ad last week Thursday…read more I was under the weather, so marked my calendar. Today was the day! A very nice clean restaurant. Bar type seating available, they do not sell liquor. Tables clean and evenly spaced. Pretty much EVERYTHING is homemade with #TheMom's famous recipes! The kibbeh, was amazing. It's def an acquired taste; I got turned on to it by my Lebanese grade school buddies; this was phenomenal. Huge serving; I have plenty for tomorrow and Saturday. I typically don't care for the pickled turnips, but after tasting these, my mind was changed. Not sure what it was, but they were way better than what I've had in the past, (from Nashville to Chicago, bar none). The garlic dip was pungent and tasty-a perfect cold weather food. The pita was very light and thin. (I honestly don't do gluten, so that was a huge perk for me.) I asked about Med/Turkish coffee; they do not have it BUT, the Lebanese tea, Shanna suggested was deelish! Brewed individually. It went especially well with the baklava that I couldn't leave without trying. If you want the real deal- this is it. If you want nice people, they have that as well. Andy, one of the proprieters, agreed Shanna is THE best server, hooman, resource AND her printing is unbelievable (Mother Theresa, check the manuscript on chalkboard when you walk in)! I'll be back. (Oh, and pop into #Boomerang's next door. Walk off a couple pounds and find something fancy.)
