Cute lil seating area outside to satisfy my DYING MEXICAN CRAVING
Tiffany M.

Sooo I was SERIOUSLY CRAVING SOME AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD... well at least a step up from taco bell. And they have these burrito bowls. You pick your own meat, rice, add ins. My only complaint is that their very cheap with the sauce and salsa... kinda dry. I called it in, my better half picked it up. Ready in 10 min. Not bad.

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.
Jess L.

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.

Carve asade fries
Angela F.

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!

This place is pretty good. I get the California fries every time and I love them. It's a lot of food but it's great.

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

My experience at Tequila's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina was absolutely amazing from start to…read morefinish! The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. Every dish was packed with authentic flavor, and the portions were generous. The drinks were just as impressive and complemented the meal perfectly. What stood out most was the excellent customer service. Everyone made us feel valued and ensured we had a great dining experience. The restaurant offers a lively, family-friendly environment with made-to-order Mexican dishes and a great selection of drinks. If you're looking for delicious Mexican cuisine, great service, and an all-around enjoyable dining experience, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be back!

Tables seated after us had already received drinks, chips, and salsa before we were even greeted. Once our server finally came over, things moved quickly -- but I still had to walk around the restaurant tracking down staff just to get napkins and silverware. For food, I ordered the 3-piece chicken dinner tacos and found them way too salty. I ended up using the beans on the side to try and balance the flavor out. My spouse had the birria tacos and thought they were decent. Chips and salsa were fine. At $40 for two people the price was fair, but between the slow start to service and the overly salty food, we left feeling just okay about the experience. Not sure we'd make it back.

If you visit Taco Bell or El Charro, you're supporting a corporation. If you visit this place…read moreyou're supporting a family. My wife and I have been running errands and wanted to try something new for supper and found this place on yelp. When we arrived it seemed a little quiet, but the hostess/waitress quickly appeared and showed us to a table. From there everything went smoothly. I opted for a plate of enchiladas, and found them to be very well prepared and seasoned. The salsa had that wonderful tomato forward texture to it that I enjoy very much. The room is small, and it's clear that they get most of their business on carryout. That being said I think if you showed up with a somewhat larger party they would be glad to take care of you. They certainly took good care of us.

I'm familiar with El Fogon because they have a location out in Rochester Hills and I drive by this…read moreplace a million times because it's a mile from work. Being that I'm on this side of town for a few days, I figured it was finally time to check it out. The location's much bigger with more seating than the Rochester Hills one. Nicely decorated with ample seating, you order at the counter and they run the food out to you. Not sure if they have waitresses or not, but that's how they were running it when I was there. I asked if they had Birria tacos and the man behind the counter said they do, just not on the menu. I ordered the taco dinner with shredded beef, rice, beans and a glass of water. I got served chips and dip which was okay, but the salsa was a bit runny for my liking. The "hot" salsa was good, and wasn't overpowering. Eventually, my food came out and it was a huge portion! I was impressed with all three tacos, rice and beans. It was only $13 on the menu, so I was happy with how much food I was served. The beef was a little on the dry side but still fairly good. Rice and beans were decent, but the music was a bit on the louder side. I docked a star for the meat being a bit dry and louder music considering it wasn't really necessary. The man who rang me up was super nice and friendly and also went through the menu with me since I had a few questions before ordering. Overall, a decent meal for the price and I'd return in the future.
