    Incredible, incredible, INCREDIBLE food! This was my first time coming here and it did not disappoint. I got the burrito California, and it was AMAZING! Will definitely be back! Service was great, food was sensational. Atmosphere was very hole in the wall, which I love!

    Chicken fajitas and hot salsa

    This little gem is delish! Great portions and prices! Truly authentic Corn tacos dinner, chicken fajitas dinner. Very tasty

    Beef enchiladas with cheese and lettuce

    If you're hesitant about ordering here... Don't be!!! I've driven past this restaurant countless times on my commute home and finally tried it this evening. We ordered the Especial #2 and got chicken tacos instead of beef. I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars for quality of food, and 5 stars for the bang for our buck. The amount of guac we received for the price was incomparable to other Mexican restaurants. The salsa is sweet & flavorful, and you can't go wrong with the crunchy corn taco shells!! The amount of food we received was honestly enough to generously feed a family of 5, all for $40. Will definitely be back!

    I didn't wanna give this place a chance, being that I'm still salty about New Mexico closing up shop, and there's no way it could match its awesomeness. It's been a few years so I gave it a go. I'll say the food is pretty decent. Not as good as Nee Mexico was, but pretty good. We ordered the same dishes we ordered when it was NM, and they came pretty close. Everything was just a bit off. The enchiladas texture was different. The Mexican sandwich was way different. The choriqueso has something different I couldn't quite put my finger on. The salsas tasted different. Horchata was good tho. Judging this place alone and not on comparison, I'd give it a good 3 stars. You wouldn't be hard pressed to eat a good meal here.

    Food was delicious; service was prompt and the young women were all very courteous and good servers. The flan cheesecake was top-notch.

    We've been coming here since 2018 on a chance, and it truly is our favorite Mexican restaurant…read more Food is always hot, and authentically flavorful. We usually go for a good fajita (of any of the flavors, all are delicious) or a monster burrito to share (jam-packed with rice, meat and veggies so enough to share)! Chori queso and fried ice cream usually round out our meal. The staff is amazing. Everyone is so kind and efficient, it really is a treat to go out and support this business. The place is usually pretty packed, but there is a bar for a solo date and huge tables for bigger gatherings as well (I had my 30th birthday here and it was a blast)!

    food was good except for the rice it was dry and flavourless. I can't speak on the beans because I…read moredon't really like refried beans. I told the guy I didn't need the rice or beans but he brought it anyway for some reason. My dad wanted his rice and beans, so maybe he was confused. I don't know if our server was new or not. My dad had to ask twice for his Pepsi and I had to ask a second time for the salsa. I requested to go with my tacos. The wait time wasn't long since it was during the week and early enough in the night so that was nice. I'm used to waiting a very long time here. It's always very busy and crowded here. I also asked for a to go queso sauce I told him I didn't need the chips. He totally forgot about that as well and then brought the bill. I was very annoyed that I had to ask a second time and then he wanted to charge $11 for that he insisted that he takes back the bill and adjust it and I said oh you're going to charge me for that even though you already brought the bill and I've had to ask twice okay at this point I was so annoyed but I gave him back the bill anyways so he could adjust for it. I didn't know just the dip was $11. I would have re thought a carry out. I told him I didn't need the chips because we have chips at home. I don't know if they changed their rice recipe but the rice was extremely dry and flavourless. I took a few bites and it was hard to choke down overall I really like this place but I'm really second-guessing even coming back because the taco food truck that's down the street from my house is much better than this at this point and the prices are crazy. I didn't know how much the prices have changed. My dad got a burrito rice and beans. I got three tacos and we got a carryout queso and the bill was almost $60.?!?! this definitely was not exceptional service by any means I am keeping three stars because out of the other experiences I have had here this is just one not so good one usually we have come here and it's been great. My parents have come here a few times in 2025. I used to come here with them in 2024 and before I know they have been open for over 10 years more like 15 years but I don't know what has changed recently.

    First - they are in the process of separating from the "Don Juan" part of the name and just…read morechanging to Los Amigos. They are removed from the Don Juan's website - although they still have Don Juan menus and appear to serve all the same food as the rest of the Don Juan locations. My first visit was with a group of 12 for a work function. Tough to get there with some of the traffic/construction issues on Wayne, but that's not their fault. They seemed to have forgotten that I called to make a reservation for a large table - but they had enough space to push some tables together and accommodate us anyway. The menu is HUGE! Like 7 pages of items, so you can find exactly what you want. Good section of 8 or so vegetarian-specific items - which is much better than most Mexican restaurants where you're stuck with a bean burrito or veggie fajitas if you don't eat meat. Spicy and delicious salsa. Not watery and bland like so many of the competitors in SE Michigan. The guacamole was excellent - great presentation. I had the molcajete maya (ribeye steak, shrimp, chorizo, chicken, cactus, green chile sauce). I don't see nopale (cactus) on menus that often - It was fantastic! Loved the mix of meats, strong flavors, and it came out in a stone bowl. The rice was tender but a bti bland, so I dumped some of their salsa on it. Great refried beans. I ordered an horchata to drink, and it was also excellent. One of my favorite, and most authentic, Mexican meals I've had in Michigan. I only finished half of it, so it was enough for an entire additional meal. My coworkers all seemed pleased with their food. This place is for those who are patient. The food took a long time to come out - it was a solid 20 minutes from when we arrived until we placed our order, and another 30 minutes from when we placed our order until we received our food. It was a good thing the guacamole came out quickly and they were generous with chips and salsa refills. Server was polite and helpful and nice, though, so no complaints there. I'll definitely be back, and will try to work through some more of this formidable menu as they continue to evolve away from their "regional chain" roots.
