The guacamole was just okay, but the Margheritas were awesome. The menu is mostly tacos and simple mexican dishes, but don't be fooled because the tacos were worth the drive. We especially enjoyed the Carne asada tacos on corn tortillas. Our favorite part were the churros, weren't expecting those and they were excellent. We would recommend this place for a date or simple meal with friends. They do have outdoor dining, and a large bar but not a ton of room for groups. Definitely will be back again soon.

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 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!

The torta was sort of a cross between bread and a tortilla, toasted but still somewhat fluffy. I splurged and got a horchata, which is a treat for me. It's a sort of thin milkshake, with a hint of malt flavor. Yummy. The portions were large enough that I took half the torta home. The co-diner got a chicken burrito, which was grilled and also huge. For an extra treat, the TV was showing Spanish language soaps, with musical accompaniment. Always a nice feature in a homey Mexi an restaurant. To summarize: muy bien!

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.

I thought there could have been a bit more sauce but the shrimp were cooked perfectly and had just a little heat. For main course, my wife and daughter split a burger and the Michigan salad. They said the burger was good, but a little more cooked than they liked. The salad was good but not great. I ordered the Monte Cristo as I used to love the ones at Bennigan's. It was pretty good, a little smaller than the ones I remember, and they didn't add the powdered sugar. It was a tasty sandwich and I did enjoy it, just not great.
