    First, I wanna say thank you for packing it so well. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and they even…read moretaped the top to it. It was very good as always but they didn't give me any saltines My husband ordered a steak & shrimp fajita without tomato and it came with minimal meat and vegetables, but again everything was packed really good. The food is always good. We ordered the cheese cake and banana dessert this time and it was delicious. The reason 4 's was because I paid $66 for no saltines and not much of a fajita. We'll be back.

    Decent Mexican. We…read moreusually go here with my FIL. He likes it more and it's closer to his house. My FIL gets steak tacos or burtotosMy husband usually gets their chicken tacos. Staff are super friendly and helpful too. This visit, we ordered 2 grilled chicken tacos, one grilled chicken quesadilla, side of beans and esquite, chicken burrito verde, two chicken flautas, side of beans, large guacamole, taquitos Mexicanos and one chicken tostada. $75.46 The house salsa is good, it's better mixed with the house mild salsa. The guacamole doesn't look fresh at all. Looks like it was out of a tube or container. It looks like they added some tomatoes to it to doctor it up some, it doesn't taste fresh either. It's not so good. The taquitos and the flautas look exactly the same, both are good. Packed with shredded chicken. The chicken tacos aren't bad, chicken is a bit dry. The chicken tostada wasn't bad. Corn tortilla gets soft quickly, ate that after my flautas and taquitos. The chicken quesadillas are too bad.

    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.

    We ordered the grilled steak with salad & loaded fries. BIG MISTAKE! Steak was dry, cold, full of…read moregristle & very tough. Salad lol shredded lettuce no dressing & the bottom of a tomato that you cut off & throw away. Rice dry & cold. Refried beans were hot. We told the waitress we were never here before asked about the sauces she was very nice explaining the different levels of heat. I don't understand the high stars I'll never go back & never recommend this restaurant. Now maybe we ordered the wrong thing I don't know. I can't imagine the rest of their food being any better. Our bill was $82.00 with 2 pops included. The inside was okay everything was really old & worn out inside not much ambiance to mention. We are not from the area & not familiar with the restaurants this one had a high rating that's why we chose it.

    A family member recommended this place, so I popped in one days for lunch…read more This place is authentic Mexican cuisine, not an American Tex Mex kinda place. There were 8 tables of migrant workers, so the place had to have food similar to home (there were several tables with food that I couldn't recognize, and I've toured the Yucatan several times). Regardless, service was quick. Food ordered and out in 20 minutes. I ordered the birria Tacos....they were excellent. The accompying broth was different than others I've had, but it was extremely flavourful and did the job. The Tacos were stuffed with meat (open face). My dining companion ordered a 3 taco combo..1 chorizo, 1 pasteur and 1 pork. The chorizo was a star, the other two, while good, had huge pieces of fat in them...kinda turned him off. But he did say he'd order them again. I'll definitely go back.

    I was really excited to try Los Pinguinos because I've been hoping to find an authentic Mexican…read morerestaurant nearby. Unfortunately, it completely took away that little glimmer of hope I had. The service is honestly the best part -- the employees are super kind and welcoming, and they always treat you with respect. I really appreciate that about them. But everything else just misses the mark. The ambiance and decor look very cheap and thrown together -- it feels more like they raided a dollar store for decorations. It really needs a lot of work to match the quality you'd expect from a restaurant charging the prices they do. The food is okay -- not terrible, but definitely not great either. It's just average, which would be fine if it were priced fairly. But for what you're getting, it's way too expensive. To make matters worse, they've never gotten my order right, which gets frustrating after giving them multiple chances. Overall, I can't recommend Los Pinguinos. It feels like a waste of money, and I left more disappointed than anything. I wanted authentic flavor and a nice experience, but this just wasn't it.

I'd only been here one time before, but I thought the food was excellent, & I knew they were pretty close, so I called. The sweetest young woman told me that they had $2 taco Tuesdays! Beef/chicken, soft/ hard shell. I was honestly so hungry, I took a bite of the middle 1 & that's why it's turned around, and doesn't look all that great. They were excellent. Those tacos were stuffed, I could only eat 1, brought the other 2, home. I didn't eat a whole lot of chips, either, but let's talk about the homemade salsa! Spicy perfection! You can purchase a lg ($8) or small ($4). I got the Lg one, and Pam the #NumeroUno waitress in the entire , was kind enough to put the salsa into 2 containers for me. I was really grateful for that because if I'd had just the lg container, my small household probly wouldn't hv finished it b4 it, expired(?). Pam was just a gem all the way around. Great spot, excellent service, kid friendly...you must visit.
