    Main door of the restaurant:)

    My husband and I came here for dinner and I have to say they have the best Nachos appetizer we have ever had at a Mexican restaurant. It came with beef, chicken, beans, lettuce, cheese, nachos and tomato. It was so delish! You can tell the shredder chicken was delicious and you can they marinated it very well. It had so much great flavor to it. If you are ever in Wixom definitely come here! The salsa and nachos were very good. The service was impeccable and very friendly. I also had a small frozen margarita that was very good. They have a painting on the walls that is so beautiful and very authentic looking. I actually think our waiter was the owner of this fine establishment! This restaurant is very clean, you can tell they take pride in having the restaurant very clean. We can't wait to go back and try other dishes on the menu. This place is definitely a must try and try again! We will definitely come back here when we are in the neighborhood again.

    Burrito and Enchilada Special

    Ordered carryout. Was 10mins late #1...... soggy hard shell tacos ... everything tasted like frozen chicken... flavorless and bland. Super let down. Might as well go to taco bell. Wont be back. This is the 4th visit ish since they opened progressively worse each time. Real shame. Food was just mediocre and the chalupa was like a pile of random ingredients.

    This is by far the best Mexican food in the area without a doubt. One of my favorites is the Quesabirria but honestly everything we've tried is amazing and so fresh! The staff is friendly and quick.

    I've ate here three times now and every single time the food is amazing and the service is above and beyond. The servers are all on top of it, make great recommendations, are super friendly and are always checking on you. Each time I've ordered something different and there's not been one thing that wasn't delicious. It's very much a traditional Mexican food joint set up and it's just perfect for when you have a hankering for that good Mexican food.

I got the chicken tacos and 8oz side of rice and beans. Their menu read confusing, as they didn't have prices on the different meats, and tacos ranged from $2.99-$3.99 so I wasn't even sure how much my tacos would come to. I also thought it was 8oz combined of rice & beans for like $2.99 but I believe it rang up as individual 8oz containers. My total for the plate (3 tacos) & sides came to ~$16 without a tip or drink. The chicken tacos were SO bland. I tried adding more lime, the grilled onions, radishes, both the red and green salsas, and even rice and beans but nothing could rescue the flat flavor of nothingness every time I bit into my tacos. My red salsa that came with my plate was genuinely lame, it had hints of Tabasco sauce? Like they were trying to make it so spicy without any actual depth or flavor. I expected more from this place. I did try my friends steak from his taco and it was a bit more flavorful, so perhaps I got the wrong meat. Their employees were very nice and service wasn't too long, restaurant clean but limited seating! I would only return here to try the California burrito. I can find similar prices and great quality elsewhere.

It feels like we are clubbing in here. Can't have a conversation really. The corn chips are not fresh, could be better if they were freshly made. I want the chips to be good. The elote seems to be mixed with the queso, which is really runny. It tastes better, but could be thicker. The guacamole is average, not a lot of flavor to it. Main food orders in after about 15 minutes after we were seated. The flautas are super dry, the chicken that is. The chicken isn't even jerky like, just bark like burnt. The lobster quesadilla tastes rather interesting. On closer examination after the odd texture of the lobster, it had the strangest layers to it, reminds me of the Krab. Something quite odd about their lobster for sure, comes across to me as imitation meat. Hard to describe how weird it was to me, has completely left me at a loss and utterly confused. Meat doesn't have the chew I expected at all, mostly disintegrated in my mouth without biting it and the odd layers really threw me off exceedingly. My husband asked our waitress about the nature of the lobster meat to Nikki. She asked the kitchen if the lobster meat in the quesadilla and enchiladas was real lobster meat. The kitchen of course said yes, it is. I wouldn't have expected anyone to say the lobster meat was imitation though. Such a strange meal and experience tonight.

    This restaurant offers a unique and tasty twist to your typical Mexican street style taco. I…read moreordered their Carne Asada (steak) taco which was well made and definately in line with an authentic Mexico Street taco but the star of my meal was the Mongolian Beef taco with its marinated sauce, scallions and cilantro that was over the top good and so different from any other taco's I have ever had. The chips, salsa and guacamole I ordered were good but not to the level of the Mongolian taco. Relative to the restaurant itself, it is kind of tucked away on the side of a small strip mall and not readily visible from the road. You need to be purposely looking for this restaurant to see it , which based on all the good reviews, a lot of people apparently do which means its business is being generated by word of mouth. Nice! Also of note, this is a counter order take out business model with no indoor seating and just two small tables on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant (4 total chairs). Something to keep in mind if you are looking for an indoor dining option. Overall, I believe the more traditional Mexican food options are good at this restaurant but it is the unique/fusion options that make this business stand out from other Mexican restaurants in the area. These unique food twists will be the primary driver of my return visit, which I will definately be doing, to sample some of their other fusion options that they offer. Definately a restaurant to seek out and sample if you are in the Milford area.

    Great down-home Mexican food!…read more Tucked away in a small strip mall in New Hudson, is this hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant. It has authentic mariachi music playing softly, and the decor is done in South of the border flair. It's an authentic down-home mom and pop owned and operated Mexican restaurant, that serves excellent food. I've been dying to get back in to this place and am glad we finally did! The owners are a really nice husband and wife team that actually walk around and thank people for coming in, and try to share a laugh with every person that comes in. They also work as waitstaff, bar and kitchen. They really seem to enjoy what they do, and the food speaks for itself. Pricing was very good per person, generally all under $20 each, and chips and salsa made fresh daily and is served to everyone. They have multiple different flavored margaritas shown as a signature, and serve a bunch of Mexican beer, in addition to standard domestic and regular mixed drinks. We ordered the sizzling combo fajitas and the chimichanga dinner, Both good choices. I highly recommend going here. If you aren't a big Mexican food fan they have steak on the menu, but the atmosphere, attention to guests and the owners directly involved makes this a great place to stop in. They can take large parties also. We've been looking for an authentic (mom's kitchen style) Mexican restaurant since moving from the desert southwest, this is it. Spread the word, they could use the business. We will be back.

There were only a few other people in the restaurant, which was a bit surprising for a weekend at dinner time. Our waiter came over and got our order fairly quickly. I ordered steak fajitas and my wife got the beef flautas. The food was good and the presentation was spot on. Our waiter was pretty decent, I could have used a refill of my beverage a little quicker. The restaurant itself was very dark and not the usual bright and festive, like many other Mexican restaurants. I feel like they need to turn on more lights and maybe liven the place up a bit. Overall, I give the food a 4 out of 5. Service was a 3.5 and the ambiance was a 2 out of 5. We will definitely give them a second shot, hopefully they will liven up a bit.
