    Great service. Folks is in shirts and ties. Love it. Great seating. Food was good. Mint lemonade was fresh and flavorful. Steak quesadilla was really good although I was not expecting beans. The people knew I liked spice and brought out a spicy sauce. Would recommend

    Cajun Shrimp Taco Meal

    It was a Saturday night, and we since Mexican food is a favorite cuisine around here, we wanted to try a new place. My husband found El Limón when searching for newer spots, and we decided it was worth a visit. Tucked away just off Plymouth Rd, El Limón offers fresh and delicious options served up by friendly and hospitable staff. They saw our little one and immediately got a melamine plate and plastic cutlery out. I picked the Cajun shrimp taco dinner, and the portions were generous. I had planned to share, but neither of my companions likes too much spice, so I got the meal all to myself. I was able to take some of it home for a repeat the next day! The staff was very welcoming and let our kiddo try a sample of mango smoothie. I saw the sugar rush as their eyes widened with the first sip, and their review was that it was good! El Limón is a great spot for a bite of Mexican food and well worth a visit!

    Fantastic casual dining. My favorite thing about this restaurant is the friendly, caring, and funny staff. They make me want to dine here everyday! There's a variety of seating for individuals, families, and larger groups around the place for any occasion, and there's beautiful art and decor to enjoy. But let's talk food! The menu has a ton of options, each meal sounding delicious and unique. You can't find this type of food anywhere else. You can't beat the price for this quality, either. I can't wait to return and order everything else they have to offer!

    El Limon is the first Mexican/Middle-Eastern fusion restaurant I've ever seen and was intrigued enough to visit. We stopped in for a late lunch and got the following: Chicken Shawarma Burrito ($8.40) - This is a decently hefty burrito, but mostly filled with long grain rice. Even though the menu offers either Spanish rice or cilantro-lime, this rice was neither. It was on the drier side, similar to what you would see in a Middle-Eastern rice dish. There was only a very small amount of chicken shawarma in the burrito; it was pretty moist but was in larger chunks that were not shaved from a spit like a traditional shawarma. No crispy edges. There was some slightly spicy jalapeno toum in the burrito that was the only source of moistness - not nearly enough to counteract the dryness of the rice. This restaurant really needs a salsa bar. A typical chicken shawarma sandwich works because of the chicken/pickles being slathered in toum - for this burrito rendition, there is way too much rice for the amount of sauce. There was some iceburg lettuce, tomato and corn that added some freshness and the burrito was grilled on the flat top on one side, resulting in a nice crispy edge. A small amount of mostly unmelted shredded cheese rounded out the dish. It seems to be a common theme here that the cheese isn't melted. (3/5) Grape Leaves Falafel El Limon Bowl ($12.95) - I was expecting a little too much from this dish - I thought it would be like deconstructed grape leaves, with maybe a leaf on the bottom, rice/falafel/sauce in the middle, and another grape leaf on top. But instead, this was essentially Middle-Eastern rice with pinto beans and some falafels and grape leaves on the side. The rice was the same rice that was in the burrito. The grapes leaves were not great - the rice mixture inside was extremely mushy. The falafel were fried well but nothing special; seemed to me like a food service falafel. They were topped with some cilantro and tahini. There were some peppers and chips on the top, which, along with the beans, I guess makes this Mexican fusion? (3/5) El Limon is certainly an interesting concept, but probably one I wouldn't go to again. I wouldn't really consider this a fusion restaurant either - the amount of fusion is pretty minimal. It seemed more like they just put two cuisines adjacent to each other.

    Que Pasa Taqueria has ruined me for a lot of other Mexican spots in the best possible way. I've…read morebeen coming here for over five years, and at this point, it is one of the only places I'll go when I want tacos because everything else tends to leave me wondering why I didn't just come here in the first place. The tacos are every bit as good as people say and the environment is clean and relaxed, they usually have some good music playing too. Authentic, flavorful, consistent, and made with care. But the birria is the real star for me. Hands down, it is the best birria I've had anywhere in Metro Detroit. Rich, tender, packed with flavor, and exactly the kind of thing you think about again later like it owes you money. The owner is also genuinely one of the sweetest people. He remembered my order after only a few visits, and that kind of personal touch makes the place feel even more special. I usually stick with my Mexican Coke, but I love that they have their liquor license now, because a margarita or Corona with the food is a very solid upgrade. I've brought a bunch of people here and sent a whole handful of others, and everyone has said the same thing. It is some of the best Mexican food they've ever had. One of my friends even said it was better than what he had in California and Mexico, which is a bold statement, but Que Pasa can handle bold statements. Que Pasa is not just good for the area, it is the standard I compare everyone else to. Which is probably unfair to everyone else, but here we are.

Food was served fresh and hot, along with being served with free chips and salsa. Service was quick and efficient and bathroom was very clean. I will say the restaurant is a bit tight and it may be difficult to traverse for those with mobility aids, so keep that in mind!

If you do not eat meat or any animals, please ask what you can eat! They do not have a vegetarian menu. When my food came out, my burrito was covered in cheese. I had one waitress tell me their cheese was not vegetarian, and was mistaken on my end to assume the other server knew I was. I let our waitress know that what I ordered was not what I expected and that I was sorry about it. She let me know what it said on the menu and grabbed it from me, and I apologized again. The manager came out and told me he was sorry, but that something else I ordered (the rice) was also not vegetarian, and asked if I still wanted it. I was given a "new" plate with half of my food scrapped off and a new burrito on it, with rice still under it. Easy to say I lost my appetite. The horchata tastes like it came from a powder mix, and my mother's chicken soup was tough. I don't write reviews like this unless I was genuinely disappointed, which we both were. The food and the vibe was off :(( This is my mom's second time giving this place a shot, she was hoping to have more luck with me there, and they dropped the ball again.
