The doll my Fiancé LOVED!!
Scott M.

Stopped in to support them because the bridge on Wayne is closed and we wanted to give them a shot. Haven't been here since the ownership change. We were greeted with smiling faces and explained we were ordering takeout. I ordered the King Burrito and my Fiancé got the Chimichanga. We also ordered the churros that had strawberry filling. The King Burrito was good, I got mine with the pork. Ranchera sauce on top was different than I am used to, but still good. Some of the pork pieces had a little too much fat attached for my liking. Very large burrito. My Fiancés Chimichanga was not good. She got the steak, which was cut in to small cubes. It was very overcooked, chewy and many pieces had gristle on them. The rice and beans that came with it were good. The strawberry filled churros were very good, and the dipping sauce was very good as well. We will most likely give them another shot, but the Fiancé will not be ordering the steak again. My Fiancé did fall in LOVE with the doll they had on display though!

Love to support small businesses and was not disappointed by this gem. Great food and very friendly staff. Enjoyed lunch with the family...our first time here but definitely not our last. We all enjoyed our meal and the horchata was delish!!!

2 fried tacos. Not so crispy
Britane B.

It was lunch time so I was hungry but they definitely shorted me on my tacos. I was looking for the crispy fried tacos and i definitely couldn't tell they were fried at all. It was no Mexican cheese or onions on my tacos and they gave me 2 small salsas. There is a nice girl who works there but just kinda short when she's speaking . I wish they would take the time to make the food how it used to be made. However they had very nice artwork and masks on the walls

Really enjoyed our dinner here. New ownership over last two years has made a difference. Great lunch specials and who can fault a Mexican restaurant with a picture of Chichen it's on the wall. Tasty enchiladas. Tasty tacos ? Good Salsa and chips. I have been there twice in last two days if that tells you something. Even A President would love this place if you know what I mean? Excellent service by Vanessa and Liz too!

The ultimate tacos, their twist on the double decker taco

Great lunch prices, quick and good food. They no longer have the tostada lunch special tho- would have to buy ala carte or dinner option.

Didn't really like the food. Nachos were salty. But the lady was nice. Overall the restaurant is clean and ok for a quick bite.

We've been coming here since 2018 on a chance, and it truly is our favorite Mexican restaurant…read more Food is always hot, and authentically flavorful. We usually go for a good fajita (of any of the flavors, all are delicious) or a monster burrito to share (jam-packed with rice, meat and veggies so enough to share)! Chori queso and fried ice cream usually round out our meal. The staff is amazing. Everyone is so kind and efficient, it really is a treat to go out and support this business. The place is usually pretty packed, but there is a bar for a solo date and huge tables for bigger gatherings as well (I had my 30th birthday here and it was a blast)!

food was good except for the rice it was dry and flavourless. I can't speak on the beans because I…read moredon't really like refried beans. I told the guy I didn't need the rice or beans but he brought it anyway for some reason. My dad wanted his rice and beans, so maybe he was confused. I don't know if our server was new or not. My dad had to ask twice for his Pepsi and I had to ask a second time for the salsa. I requested to go with my tacos. The wait time wasn't long since it was during the week and early enough in the night so that was nice. I'm used to waiting a very long time here. It's always very busy and crowded here. I also asked for a to go queso sauce I told him I didn't need the chips. He totally forgot about that as well and then brought the bill. I was very annoyed that I had to ask a second time and then he wanted to charge $11 for that he insisted that he takes back the bill and adjust it and I said oh you're going to charge me for that even though you already brought the bill and I've had to ask twice okay at this point I was so annoyed but I gave him back the bill anyways so he could adjust for it. I didn't know just the dip was $11. I would have re thought a carry out. I told him I didn't need the chips because we have chips at home. I don't know if they changed their rice recipe but the rice was extremely dry and flavourless. I took a few bites and it was hard to choke down overall I really like this place but I'm really second-guessing even coming back because the taco food truck that's down the street from my house is much better than this at this point and the prices are crazy. I didn't know how much the prices have changed. My dad got a burrito rice and beans. I got three tacos and we got a carryout queso and the bill was almost $60.?!?! this definitely was not exceptional service by any means I am keeping three stars because out of the other experiences I have had here this is just one not so good one usually we have come here and it's been great. My parents have come here a few times in 2025. I used to come here with them in 2024 and before I know they have been open for over 10 years more like 15 years but I don't know what has changed recently.

Ok. Every time we come here I try a new menu item and leave with a new favorite!!…read moreThe big fajita burrito is simply amazing. The service is impeccable every single time!! Such great people here. The place is always decorated for the season and done very well. We love it here!!

First - they are in the process of separating from the "Don Juan" part of the name and just…read morechanging to Los Amigos. They are removed from the Don Juan's website - although they still have Don Juan menus and appear to serve all the same food as the rest of the Don Juan locations. My first visit was with a group of 12 for a work function. Tough to get there with some of the traffic/construction issues on Wayne, but that's not their fault. They seemed to have forgotten that I called to make a reservation for a large table - but they had enough space to push some tables together and accommodate us anyway. The menu is HUGE! Like 7 pages of items, so you can find exactly what you want. Good section of 8 or so vegetarian-specific items - which is much better than most Mexican restaurants where you're stuck with a bean burrito or veggie fajitas if you don't eat meat. Spicy and delicious salsa. Not watery and bland like so many of the competitors in SE Michigan. The guacamole was excellent - great presentation. I had the molcajete maya (ribeye steak, shrimp, chorizo, chicken, cactus, green chile sauce). I don't see nopale (cactus) on menus that often - It was fantastic! Loved the mix of meats, strong flavors, and it came out in a stone bowl. The rice was tender but a bti bland, so I dumped some of their salsa on it. Great refried beans. I ordered an horchata to drink, and it was also excellent. One of my favorite, and most authentic, Mexican meals I've had in Michigan. I only finished half of it, so it was enough for an entire additional meal. My coworkers all seemed pleased with their food. This place is for those who are patient. The food took a long time to come out - it was a solid 20 minutes from when we arrived until we placed our order, and another 30 minutes from when we placed our order until we received our food. It was a good thing the guacamole came out quickly and they were generous with chips and salsa refills. Server was polite and helpful and nice, though, so no complaints there. I'll definitely be back, and will try to work through some more of this formidable menu as they continue to evolve away from their "regional chain" roots.
