Love me some good Mexican food! Have been here a few times a really close family friend was who introduced me to the place and I for sure am thankful! The food and service was really good during our last visit, the salsa for the chips is not my favorite but still got the job done. Will be back in the future, thanks again for the experience!

Charles & Tamara Johns

Nice place! Love the bottomless chips and salsa. Our waitress was awesome. The food came out really quick. We all enjoyed the food. Good serving size. We had to take some home. I hear their carryout is a different menu with different prices. It seems to be a popular option. We will come back.

One of the original restaurants around here, and surprisingly the quality hasn’t gone downhill like other originals around here. I’ve actually had take out from here 3 times in the last 3 months. Twice I had a Cuban sandwich and once I had the seafood chimichangas. The food was very good and will definitely be ordering again from here.

If you’re reading this review then you definitely have to go here when in Detroit for authentic Mexican food! Been coming here for many years but it has been a couple years since I’ve been back and it looks like they did some renovations inside. This was one of my favorites downtown and this time also didn’t disappoint. Don’t need to make this too long of a story the food was always excellent and it still is excellent.

Good food, decent portions, good pricing. It was very busy, we asked the server for some recommendations and we ordered those, she didn’t disappoint. The washrooms were extremely clean and well kept.

This place is lacking seasoning!! The drinks super good… the quantity is great but it’s ok in the flavor department! I had to add salt to the whole plate.. it all tasted the same… chicken was chicken.. beef was beef… nothing really wowed me… the fried ice cream is very delicious! The salsa is very runny and didn’t have much spice… the hot salsa was just hot.. no flavor!

Carri Childress

I used to live in the area and always loved eating here. A friend and I were trying to decide where we were going for lunch and I suggested here so we drove up from near Toledo. It was so satisfying to eat at my favorite Mexican restaurant after a few years of not doing so. We both had an awesome meal and the service was great.

One of many staple restaurants in Mexican town within Detroit. The food is great here…literally never had a bad meal. The portions are just as generous post-pandemic unlike many other places. The prices are affordable. Highly recommend a drop in for lunch or dinner if in the area. Then hit the Mexican bakery across the street for a sweet treat.
