    Finally was able to come by and try out Crazy Gringos newest location a couple weeks after they've opened. I've tried their Clinton Twp. location in the past and wasn't really impressed, but figured this "Express" version was set up a little different I might as well try it. They have a cute little patio in the back near the parking that I was pleasantly surprised to see! It's nice that more and more SCS restaurants are starting to offer this feature! The inside is pretty nice and well decorated. Everything was extremely clean and all employees seemed to be taking the COVID precautions seriously (hand sanitizer, masks, distancing, etc) so that was a huge plus. Now, on to my food! I ordered their Chori Pollo dish as it's not something you see commonly on menus but it's somethin I love to get! The bowl was a decent size but didn't seem like a lot of food for the price. I was wrong on that because I was overstuffed after eating it. Everything was really delicious. Their chorizo had a great kick of spice and wasn't greasy as most places serve it. The chicken had a good seasoning and was grilled and cubed up to perfection. The rice in the dish was really orange so I was expecting some heavy flavours but it just tasted kind of bland, no problem though as everything else had enough flavour to compensate. I think next time I would ask for a little extra queso as I didn't think there was enough on it. My only complaint I have is I asked what came ON the dish. I was told "Chorizo, grilled chicken, rice, and queso. Then on the side you will get lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole.". So I thought, cool, I'll get my little bowl and the sides will be in a separate container (like how fajitas are offered), but I was wrong. About 1/3 of the bowl had the mix of guac and pico and was served on top rather than "on the side". I normally wouldn't complain but I have an aversion to cilantro (tastes like soap to me) and it kind of ruined a third of my meal. The rest was absolutely delicious, but now I know for next time how to order it the way I'd like it!

    Beef wet burrito. Needed more sauce.

    I wasn't expecting authentic Mexican food just based on the name. It was better than Taco Bell, but the food could have used more spice and seasoning. I had a beef wet burrito. When I think of a wet burrito it's smothered in brown sauce and melted shredded cheese. This was a little cheese sauce and a little brown sauce, more like a damp burrito than a wet burrito. The guacamole was the highlight of the meal and tasted fresh and flavorful. Also, service was good. I'd give it another try for a regular burrito or taco and guacamole.

    $10 queso? Should be 5 times this size at least.
    Ryder S.

    2 stars only because the tortilla soup is so good. First issue is the queso. The flavor is great but you only get a little side cup for $10, so extremely overpriced. Fajita bowl was ok. The chorizo had solid flavor along with the Mexican rice, but everything else was so so. The carnitas taco had very little flavor. The grilled chicken taco was a little better. The carne asada was cooked well but had no flavor. The worst was the shredded chicken "fiesta" style taco. $2 extra so almost a $6 taco and it was like they took it out of the fridge to serve. Just stick to the soup.

    Stopped here for lunch and got an order or the carne asada fries and steer tacos. The food came out quick and everything tasted great! The staff was also very friendly. Will definitely be back!

    I always get the Mexican pizza. Chicken or beef...both are so good. And I usually share it with my son. Sometimes I want it all to myself

I'm not sure if these are Celiac friendly BUT they have amazing Gluten Free Chicken Tenders. They were crispy and moist, definitely seem house made. I am also in love with their potato salad. Also, GREAT RANCH. (It's the runny kind and definitely made in house) Additionally, someone in my party got the Matzo Ball Soup and said it was very delicious. Same with the Maurice Salad. Their Rice Pudding was incredible! They really do a wonderful job and I am grateful we have one on the east side

It has a cute, classic diner feel--nothing recently updated, but it was clean and comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. We brought our three young kids and ordered them each a kids meal: chicken tenders with fries, spaghetti, and a cheeseburger with fries. The portions were generous and we even had leftovers, but at $10 per kids meal, the pricing felt pretty steep. We started with the bread basket and pickles, which were both good. My husband ordered the Monterey Jack chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. He first tried the chicken noodle soup but thought it had a sour aftertaste, so he switched to the beef barley, which unfortunately wasn't much better. His chicken entrée had good flavor, but it was just one thin, butterflied chicken breast. I ordered the New Yorker with fries, which I enjoyed--it was solid and satisfying. When the bill came to around $80, it just didn't feel justified for a deli/diner-style meal. Overall, the food was okay, but the pricing felt high for what you get--especially for a family outing. I might stop in again solo for a sandwich, but we likely won't be bringing the whole family back, mainly due to the cost of the kids meals.

I was a bit annoyed by the people standing in front of the counter as if that was going to get them called faster. I had to go down the aisle to talk to the lady when my number was called because some dude wouldn't budge. (Not the fault of the business of course). The staff was so nice and gave me suggestions on what to try. The service was excellent. For sandwiches, we tried the Italian and prosciutto. The meats were really good. Unfortunately, the oil and herbs wasn't on my husband's sub, and I think they accidentally put mild peppers instead of hot. 3/5 I learned you come here for the baked goods!!!! I tried the tiramisu, cannoli, and got an old fashioned donut for my hubs. I had a harm time choosing what delectable sweet to take home. The tiramisu was stellar. 5/5 I wish the front had a little less wine and a seating area to have a donut and coffee. It's not that kind of place to sit down and have an espresso, but still a very cool spot. They have an online order option which I'll try next time.

    First visit we did appetizers for lunch and it was great - the pickles, ravioli, fries and tenders…read morewere all very good. The lemon drop martini was DELISH. Made well! The second time we went it was sooo slow. It took at least 15 min to get menus once we were seated and took about 45 min to get the food once the server came back to take our orders, which also took a while. It was 2pm on a Friday, and other than what looked like a wrapping up work lunch (they had checks and boxes for leftovers when we were seated) there were only 2 tables of guests, so the delay was not due to it being busy. That day I got a side salad and a chicken wrap. The salad was very good aside from coming with an item I asked to take off. I did ask for no tomato, as you can see in the pic, they were added. I didnt get pictures of the wrap, but it was very meh. I would not order it again. I did not like the BBQ sauce that was used. Very overly sweet and not a good flavor. I also found there to not be a ton of chicken, it was like a second salad... TONS of romaine. I believe the wrap was called Lakehouse Chicken Wrap. Side note. We were seated near open windows and the construction was. Abit loud, which was ignorable, however! there was a phone on the server station that was ringing CONSTANTLY. I have no clue what that was about, but it was so annoying. We did alert a server but nothing was done about it. Overall, I would go back but maybe just for apps and drinks. The drinks was well made and they had a decent beer selection as well. The look of the bar is nice and I hope they can stay open longer than some of the other places that have been there!
