What our guests are saying

Some of the best mexican food I've had in Michigan. I come here every week for company lunch. Kind servers, incredibly fast service, good food. Sometimes the chips won't be fresh, but they always taste good regardless. My favourite is the tacos al pastor, but everything here is great!

Literally the Best Mexican food I've ever had! Everything was fresh and the portion size was huge. The steak fajitas nachos were to die for. The chimichanga was really good and the beans and rice it came with were definitely not dry and very tasty. For dessert, the honey on the sopaipilla was the perfect touch. Honestly though, it was the salsa that stole the show for me, lots of onion and garlic. If I had to say anything, it would be the prices, they were a little expensive.

Probably the best Mexican I've had in MI. The ingredients are fresh and sliced to perfection. Sauces on point. Vegetarian selection is amazing. See the Enchiladas Veg and Chimi Veg in my pics. I almost didn't want to eat as it looks like art.
