I've been here three times and it has always been good, especially the salsa, but the food preparation times are slow. The first time I was there, I just assumed it was because they had recently opened, but it seems to just be consistently slow. Something to be aware of if you are used to traditional taqueria speeds. They seem to be aware of this and I will give them the benefit of assuming it has something to do with the quality of the food. Give it time and it will be well worth the wait.

After a review on chow Detroit asking the community to support Struggling Sylvan Lake Mexican…read moreRestaurant, I decided to do just that. I stopped in and asked how long a carryout order would take. I was told 20-25 minutes, so I ordered two shrimp tacos, two chicken tacos, and a chicken pizza. I let them know I would wait in my car and asked them to call me when my order was ready. After waiting 30 minutes without a call, I went back inside and noticed several tables that had been seated after I placed my order had already received their food. I asked the gentleman at the register about my order, and after checking, he told me it was only halfway done. I asked how much longer it would be, and after checking again, he said about another eight minutes. While I was waiting, yet another table that had arrived well after I placed my order was served. I mentioned to the waitress that this didn't seem right, and her response was simply, "That's just how long it takes." I explained that if carryout was actually going to take 45 minutes, I should have been told that upfront. I would never have chosen to wait that long. What disappointed me most wasn't just the delay--it was the lack of communication and the lack of concern. A sincere apology or an honest update would have gone a long way. I genuinely wanted to support a local business that was asking for community support, but unfortunately, based on this experience, I won't be returning.

I came to San Jose years ago and I really enjoyed it. They serve a good mix of authentic Mexican…read morefood and American style Tex Mex, and they do both very well. I myself am partial to the authentic corn tortilla tacos with the onions and cilantro. This time around I got asada (steak), lengua (tongue) and the crispy beef tripe. It was a wonderful meal as usual, and the decor of the restaurant is one of the best I've seen in a Mexican restaurant. The food is made to order, so expect to wait a little for your meal because it is nice and fresh when you get it. The only major complaint I have are the tortilla chips and salsa they serve you before your meal. The chips are boring and stale while the salsa is very loose and lacking flavor. If you can overlook them this is the best taqueria in this part of metro Detroit easily!

Pros: pretty affordable, cool toppings, large servings (depending on what you get, the walking taco option seemed like the portion was very small), employees were nice, signature bowls are nice for those who don't like to choose their own toppings Cons: the bowl tasted good, but it was nothing really special Overall, I liked my experience with them and the food was good! Would like to come back someday.

This place was not as good as I was hoping sadly…read more It's hard finding a good authentic Mexican restaurant in this area so when I seen this I was excited. I did not like the chips they gave at the table. They were too greasy I think. The horchata was good I did enjoy that. Tacos: meats were very over cooked. The steak (asada) had a nice flavor, but it was so dry and hard. Same for the (pollo) chicken. The caranitas (pork) were cooked to perfection though and it was my favorite out of all of them. So I would come back just for that taco. Their salsa were pretty good also. I enjoyed the green one the best. I did not like the rice. The flavor was so good, but the rice was hard! Maybe I came on an off day because a lot of things were dry/hard. Pricing was about 4-5$ per taco. I would come back and try again as I maybe came on an off day.

Yes I'm an expert in Mexican cuisine. The restaurant is well laid out, clean, colorful decor and very welcoming. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and the menu offered numerous dishes and drinks. We were the first guest here on lunch hour so it wasn't a long wait for our lunch. We were served with a basket of chips and two types of salsa and our drinks. As usual, I opted for the nacho lunch special and it exceeded my expectations. ALL the other Mexican restaurants we've tried in Michigan puts that nasty shredded lettuce on top of nachos, with that white cheese sauce, who does that? Coming from Southern California I know authentic Mexican food and putting lettuce on top of nacho's is simply odd. Now that we are moving to West Texas my friends are telling me to get ready for TexMex what ever that is. Wished we had discovered this place 2 years ago when we first moved to the Michigan lakes area. I recommend you stop here for your next Mexican lunch/dinner.
