Visited for an early dinner so service was very fast and friendly. Miguel's enchiladas were delish. Y marg came in a foo foo glass and was disappointed with that. But it was an awesome raspberry marg. Complimentary chips and salsa were very fresh and crispy. Only thing keeping them from a 5 star is that the enchiladas were a little spicy for my tastes. And the table had residual wetness from what I assume was a cold drink perspiration from previous guest. read more

The tacos were good (especially with lime), but I think I squirted too much lime (that was on me), but overall everything was good. And the waitress said "Oh you're on your second taco" so good service with it, and I found out my waitress loves Michael Jackson as much as I do. 5 stars. (I had 3 tacos that's why the waitress said that). read more

I ordered the Motown margarita which is made with a Detroit tequila brand (Cabresto Reposado)and Vernors and the super Enchiladas . The margarita was delicious, never thought Vernors and lime would pair well with each other but they were mat together in this drink. My enchiladas were ok, they were warm not hot and didn't wow me, just typical enchiladas. read more

A great meet up spot for my family, we are regulars here. Favorite sit down Mexican place in the area. Guac is the best I've had in rochester. Check out the happy hour deals, there's some good deals on tacos and apps. Service is usually good. I miss when they used to make the customized salsa table side! read more

we went to Miguel's today, it was cinco de Mayo We were there at 4 o'clock in the afternoon so the restaurant was not busy at that time. I ordered the Cadillac margarita and it was in a plastic glass which salt does not stick to. Salsa was in a Styrofoam cup. It seems like for the convenience of the staff so not to have dishes to wash they short change the customers. The food was just OK nothing outstanding. We had a very nice waitress and the service was good. I probably won't go back as I've had much better Mexican food elsewhere read more

Miguel's Cantina - I love has great menu options. You could probably order anything from their menu selection and be happy. - Mexican Near Me - Rochester Hills, Michigan

Always love their homemade fresh salsa- it's the best of any of the restaurants around. My daughter had the Barrias Flautas and said they were the best. Beef was tender and tasty. She has a food allergy so we let the waitress know ahead of time and she pointed out the dish she could not eat. Nice open decor on inside. We will be back ! read more

So this is a nice place to get some authentic Birria tacos. The setting is a very laid back and attentive servers. They are engaging and friendly. The food is full of flavor and their dips all have a flare of freshness that challenges your ability to name a rival restaurant that can make you savor the juices of their broths, salsas, and presentation. I am fan of all that I sampled and ordered. Outstanding restaurant with a signature menu. I usually take photos first before eating but... who likes their nose teased?! I have been here a handful of times and I'm so satisfied afterwards I'm not even thinking about anything else but the fact I enjoyed myself. I will upload better photos later. read more

Only one dish I recommend here, and I go back for it often... Molcajete Caliente - best Mexican dish I've had 'up north.'. Hot, layers of flavor with peppers, onions, chicken, shrimp, and more. Served sizzling hot in special bowl. Tortillas (I had flour) are hand-made flavorful and above the rest. House wine was good for the price. We had party of eight and although I didn't try them, they looked good. Chips thick and warm, sauces flavorful. Eight in party but they accepted separate checks. Easy to converse as music wasn't too loud. Margareta was small but my group felt they were good. My dining group will come here again, but I will always order the Molcajete Caliente read more

Our server Eli was amazing and very on top of tending to us. The food was pretty good and the restaurant seems updated in the front which is nice but in terms of the kitchen it seemed like it could use some renovation not for us customers but to help out the staff, the electronic system was super slow too when we tried to place a carry out. read more

Outstanding authentic Mexican food consistently for years. Whenever I want to eat something delicious and fresh I go to Miguel's. The Birria is RIDICULOUS; and for a muscle-building cheat meal, the burrito is a great choice. read more

Awesome food! Fajitas, taco Mexicana, and taquoitos (sp) were fantastic and perfect portions. Along with amazing food the customer service is top notch! I ordered through DoorDash and when delivered my tacos were missing, called the driver to see if maybe he forgot a bag in his car but he was told I only had one bag when he picked up my order. Called the restaurant and they were very understanding and helpful, I had to reorder the tacos through DoorDash, and the very nice lady I spoke with from Miguel's threw in some chips and dip with my tacos at no charge. It's the little things that really make a place stand out and I will definitely be ordering g from here whenever I get the craving for Mexican food from now on! Thanks again wonderful experience all around!! read more

First time back to this location in a long time. We were very happy that we tried it again. We were promptly sat and or drink orders were taken. Corona Light is on the draft list but they do not have it, server stated they have never had it on draft and he wasn't sure why it was on the menu since they just received new menus. They had plenty of other beers to chose from. Chips and salsa were great and they were not stingy with them either. Food came out very stove hot, not microwave hot. It was all very good as well. We do have other Mexican places that we like in the area but it is great to add another one to the list. We will be back! read more

Let me start off with the hostess took our drink order because the waitress was too busy. Buss boy brought chips & salsa or something like it. The chips were flavorless. Finally a waitress came & took our food order. My wife ordered the fish tacos & was Very disappointed, fish was like a frozen fish-stick, & our rice was tasteless & bland, needless to say she only ate a third of her meal. Even the Margaritas were sub-par. read more

A friend in our party ordered Enchiladas with Mole Sauce, which, unbeknownst to him and everyone at our table had peanut butter in the sauce ingredients. Having a peanut allergy, He immediately started an allergic reaction at the table and luckily had an Epipen in the car. He asked the server what the ingredients were and it was confirmed it contained peanuts which he is highly allergic. The server was apologetic and caring. The manager then came over and was actually dismissive, then insulting as it was 'not her problem'. I was appalled. No mention of peanut content was listed on the menu - as I've often see elsewhere. We will never go back to Miguel's after experiencing that manager. read more

HH is from 3-6pm, Monday-Friday. We ordered table side guacamole, $12 seems a bit steep. They don't do the table side due to covid. Their pre-made guacamole is $10. It better be good for that high cost. Salsa is free and with the meal. Our waiter was nice enough. He didn't set the prices here. They charge $2.25 for club soda. Ordered 3 $2 Mexican tacos and 3 chicken mole enchiladas with the machaca de pollo ($14) with only beans as a side. The corn chips are okay, not warm and not as fresh as I would have hoped for. Their pre-made guacamole is okay, not so special and not a lot of flavor to it either. More lemon, maybe some cumin and garlic and hint of jalapeño would help it some. Their hot salsa is at least decent, smokey flavored and has good kick to it. The HH grilled chicken tacos were so-so. The meat was dry. The chicken enchiladas mole were blah, tasteless and boring on their own, but were so much better topped with the hot salsa. Total was $34.19. But check-in gets you a free app for now. read more

I really like Miguel's Cantina because the food is always consistent and the ambience is always good. The reason I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars is due to the restaurant being very cold inside when you get into the door and sit down to eat. The service was great and fast. Will definitely recommend to a friend. read more

Be careful when ordering online!!!! When you search and think your bringing up Miguel's in Rochester, it brings up their MAIN site, which includes both Shelby and Rochester. The fonts are the same and on the website for both locations and they're set up in line on the page, so you don't see both location options side by side. We've had other friends order from there and have had the same issue. I wish they'd fix this!! read more

Great Mexican food and margaritas!! Service is quick and the ambiance is fun! Always a good time here!

We went here with friends around the holidays and I had t been here in a while. The food was delicious. We had the Queso, enchiladas, Taco Salad and street tacos and everyone enjoyed it. The ambiance was nice and our waitress was kind and attentive. Good place for a gathering. read more

Unless you go here on taco Tuesday I wouldn't go here. You can get cheaper tacos for a much cheaper price and better quality too. On taco Tuesday they're a pretty reasonable price, flavor is okay too. My friends all got margaritas and they said it was just okay, nothing special read more

Tried Miguel's a second time because I was craving Mexican and to my dismay I had a similar experience to my first review. Came earlier - around 430p and we were told that table side salsa does not begin until 5p so we were given their big batch salsa and I am not a fan. The black/dark salsa does not taste like much of anything. We had the same waitress as before and their service as much of the same. Slow service even though the restaurant was not full and attentiveness is just not there. I say slow service because the wait time for your food was about 30 minutes - people who sat down after us were getting their food and this happened last time. All we order is rice/beans/tacos - Grand Azteca will bring your food out within minutes. I also requested that we get the table side salsa once the clock hit 5p. Our waitress thought I wanted tableside guacamole and my husband quickly pointed this out as I was not going to pay $10 for guac right before our meal was coming out. We finally got the table side and it was good and there are options of mild, medium, and hot - the medium is not really that hot and I am curious as to what their hot salsa option entails. Our food was good - my husband likes that Miguel's has chorizo and carne asada. They have two different taco options - one American and one Mexican. American is a flour tortilla while the Mexican is corn tortilla with cilantro and onions. The American flour tortilla comes puffy rather than a flat tortilla like you get a Taco Bell. Overall, I continue to say Miguel's is average with regards to food and subpar to service. I really do not believe we will ever go to this location again and will just take a drive further from our home to get our Mexican fix. read more

Stopped in at Miguel's for a date night. They seemed to be short staffed. It took quite a while for our order to be taken and then to get our appetizers. Our guac was sent to the wrong table--no big deal. The thing that kind of rubbed me the wrong way was that they took the guac back from the table they accidentally gave it to, told them that they wouldn't be charged for it but they couldn't keep it, and then when the table asked for an order of it, they brought back the same one. Not great business practice in my opinion. If you accidentally give food to someone and are going to throw it away anyways, just let them have it. As for our meals, they were edible. Nothing that I would write home about. The only thing I'd go back for is the guac or queso. Also, watch out for the suggested tip on the bottom of your bill. They are actually cutting the waitstaff short by 1-2%. read more

Posted review was several years ago and a onetime thing. Good Mexican food here! Miguel's has been on our heavy rotation for the last few years now. read more

This place is hard to spot from the road, because there is no marquis. It's next to a Tim Hortons and across the street from a Buick car dealership. Also, it's in the South Hill Plaza. I'm letting you know this because you must come here. The food is great. The servers are great. The atmosphere is great. Overall: Great. The guacamole comes in a mortar that I presume they make individually. If you pay two bucks extra ($9.95), they will make it tableside (sound familiar, DC friends?). I had the fish tacos (naturally); one fried, and one grilled. Go for the grilled, it is more flavorful. I really enjoyed them, but they are messy to eat because they are overfilled. That's a good thing, right? Tastes even better with a dash of guacamole on top! Mom had the chicken quesadilla as recommended by my sister in-law. It was also overfilled with plenty of shredded chicken. It came with a side of sour cream and guac. We ended up taking most of our starter guac home. The server even brought us a container to take the free salsa home in. Our meals were $9.95 each. I am so glad to know there is a great Mexican restaurant withe great food and great service in town. I bet their Happy Hour is great too. Happy Hour 3-6 and 9-close M-F. read more

Worst Mexican food ever. Taco Bell is better. And a lot cheaper. Meat was dry and tasteless.

The quirkiness of Miguel's will take you in and feed you their hand-made tableside salsa. This is not an average "amigo, mas tequila?" restaurant with chips & salsa, and ground beef tacos. You are greeted with bold colors and original decor. Upon being seated, you will have a salsa person make your salsa table side, and ask the level of spice you prefer (I prefer medium, and it's still a little spicy). After indulging in a slightly sinful chips & salsa eating session, you can choose your meal from the menu, which is not too extensive and not too small. The options include your standard burritos, enchiladas, etc. But Miguel's also boasts great authenticities such as tacos mexicanos, pescados or the ever American favorite - weekly happy hour! The uniqueness of Miguel's is the salsa has a smokey flavor, they use a lot of cilantro (so you KNOW they are spectacular). They also recently changed their menu to more simple options and more variety. read more

Food was pretty good - love the table side salsa. Was disappointed in the service. It was not crowded and there were several open tables.

Authentic Mexican food? Absolutely not! Miguel's Cantina is one of the worst restaurants that I have EVER visited, and I dine out very frequently. The food is below subpar and the customer service even worse. Please save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Came here well after lunch rush, so was not crowded. Waitress sweeping floors quickly to prepare for us. Seated promptly. Chips and salsa (both mild and spicy) brought to table. Dark, thick salsa made with roasted vegetables. Delicious. Probably the best I've ever had in Michigan. Wish I tried their tableside salsa if it's better than this. Ambiance: modern feel to traditional Mexican restaurant. Clean, nice decor, newer. Industrial feel almost. Service: not much different than almost any other Mexican restaurant. Efficient friendly service, but not great. Food rushed a bit. Anything you ask for comes immediately. Food: atypical for Michigan. Seems like we were in Texas. Everything here is better and more authentic. Roasted salsa, 3 soups on menu (all 3 delicious), chips not too thick, shredded chicken tender and moist, steak really tasty and not tough. Some items you don't typically see on menus outside of Texas or in the heart of Mexicantown. A plus for food. Did not try drinks. Price seems about right. Refreshing new twist to Mexican food in the burbs. A must try. 5 stars based on comparison to other suburban strip mall Mexican restaurants. read more
