Try the tortilla soup!!!! Amazing!! The best around. Wait staff needs some help. When they were in downtown walled lake the owners were always there and tried to make sure you always felt appreciated. However since they opened the new restaurant I have only saw the owners once. The wait staff seemed more interested in sitting in the corner with friends. They were playing with their phones and tablets. They were not busy and they were playing with children we felt as though we were bothering them more than anything. We waited 10 to 15 minutes before anyone took our order. Asked twice for water and three times for chips and salsa, which was always promptly given before without asking. We then waited another 10 to 15 minutes before our waiter came back to take our order (we had to motion for him to come do that). The food was on the cooler side and we again had to motion we were there and had not received our food. He never refilled our water or our salsa and chips. I would never complain about that normally if we had not been given and treated much better the other times we had been there and at their previous location. I truly love their food an! Always stopped in to pick up some tortilla soup for my daughter. I wont return because even their carry out service seems to be a bother to them. Again, there was no one there when we sat and ate in the restaurant and even when I would stop to pick up soup the girls would seem bothered by our presence. Please fix this, I did enjoy their food and service before. Thank you ☺

I used to enjoy this restaurant quite a lot. They no longer do unlimited chips and salsa. Our waitress was very aggressive and criticized my food choice when I ordered. I got a BBQ Chicken Wrap because I had never tried it there before and she gave me attitude about ordering a chicken wrap in a Mexican Restaurant. Also when she brought our food out she dropped it very hard on the table, I thought the plate was going to break. She only came back to check if we needed anything when she brought our bill, I sat with an empty water glass for most of my meal. Was very disappointed and hope this doesnt happen again otherwise I will take my business elsewhere.

Honestly the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. I have been going for years, ever since they opened up in downtown Walled Lake till this day with their new location. Meal of choice - Carne Asada Enchiladas with green sauce. I could eat it every day. I wish I could have it everyday. Also in regards to the claim that there tortillas are store bought I have never found a tortilla as good as theirs also the writer of that negative review should learn its not a "Flower" tortilla but a flour tortilla.. Also Breakfast on Sundays is a close second to the enchiladas. Their huevos rancheros is out of this world and will hold you over till Dinner.

I have never posted anything before but this place is so bad that i felt the needed to save other people from the risk of food poisoning. I order a meal here and half way through the meal i discovered that my polo rancho chicken was not cooked only on the outside. Now Im waiting for food born illness to set in. So if you are looking to get sick from your food then this is the place to eat. The food is the same you can get from the frozen food section at your local store but even that is better fair and safer. Steer clear of this place. DINNERS BEWARE.

If you like watered down salsa, dont go here. The salsa is thick and flavorful. Much better than other Mexican restaurants. Ive been on a beef taco kick lately and these didnt disappoint. One hard and two soft, very good. Weird they charge extra for cheese on the tacos, but still, they were great. Other restaurant tacos will be dripping in grease, not these. Always have a good experience here. I cant believe the place is anyways empty, more advertising needed maybe? Staff is usually friendly, food comes out fast. Great place, will always be back

This restaurant is a Hidden Gem in Walled Lake and Novi the chile rellenos are the best around as good as ones found in Mexican Town downtown Detroit the salsa is fresh with cilantro and tomatoes and onion chips are cooked every day I havent stop by in a long time and this place is still fantastic surprised there isnt a crowd waiting locals know what theyre missing visit this local gem

My dinner was totally unremarkable in terms of portions, flavors, or quality. Red sauce on burrito was inedible- tasted like ashes. Pop was flat. Restaurant is schizophrenic- tries to be too much at once - offering breakfast items and sandwiches. Server was very nice, but I wont be back.

I had the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce(green). Quite tasty. I love that the chicken was grilled. Good selection if Mexican beers. The salsa is fantastic! I especially like the spicy version with cerano peppers. It has a kick without being crazy hot with great flavor.

If you want fresh authentic Mexican food and a friendly atmosphere this is the place. Family owned and family friendly. The food is great as long as you know what to expect. This isnt Taco Bell or OnThe Border (franchised chain stores food), its real good and authentic.

Came in for carry out. I would call this place a glorified DelTaco. Rice was microwaved in a plastic bag, they use cheap flower tortillas and the meats taste the same as the fast foods. And its expensive. I dont plan on spending my money there again.

Best fajitas Ive ever had. Loved how they cut the meat so thin. The vegetables were excellent and everything else was wonderful. What a pleasant surprise. Ive been driving by this place forever and never tried it. So very glad that I did.

Drove by and decided to stop in. Very friendly staff. Quick service. Salsa was clearly made in house and with fresh ingredients. Pollo rancheros and chimichanga were both excellent as were the bean sides. We will definitely come back.

I would have given 0 stars if possible. Worst resturant i have ever been to. Food was discussing. I feel bad saying it, but its the truth. Very very very low quality, all of our food was unbeatable. Wow is all that i can say....

First time trying this place and it was excellent . Very clean, organized, and friendly. Food was outstanding, the black bean salad was fresh, the rice however was the star of the show. Will be returning, severeal times.

Maybe its our fault for going to a "Mexican" restaurant on St. Patricks day, but this place is just no good. The chicken was dry, the tortillas are out of a package & the rice was like bad Chinese food. Way over priced.

Good food and very friendly waitress. Definitely get your moneys worth. We decided to try this place and were pleasantly happy. Salsa and chips were a bit salty but good nonetheless.

Been there twice. Food was good, both visits. Ignored by server both times. Took longer to get the check or even a drink refill than it did to eat the meal. Same server both visits.
