Started out well after the takeover. We enjoyed the convenience of a Mexican food place. Lots of food and tasty. But this week we find the price had gone up, the menu changed and the portions gone down. A quesadilla which once would have been plenty was one small folded tortilla, some rice and lettuce with sour cream. Very disappointing. No reason to go back now if that's how things are. So sorry. read more

Dropped in a few days ago while driving through South Lyon. This is a small but mighty establishment with indoor seating for around 10 people so mostly a takeout business. That said, I ordered enchiladas, rice, beans, chips and salsa and at there. The chips and salsa were quite good. I loved the salsa. Great flavor profile, not too hot. My enchiladas were tasty and a good portion overall, same for the rice and beans. I ate everything I ordered and was more than full when done with my meal. Although they do have a refridgerator with beverages, was hoping for a fountain soda or iced tea which they don't have. No problem as it was not an issue. The woman who took my order was very helpful and super friendly. The menu on the wall has plenty of options to consider. I'll definitely stop in next time I'm in the area. Can't wait to try something else on the menu. read more

El Patron - 3 chicken enchiladas with red sauce, rice, refried beans, chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - South Lyon, Michigan

Got there for lunch on Tuesday. Ordered two enchilada lunch special to go. Very thin layer if refried beans and a scoop of rice: portion small tasted fine even though served on aluminum. Enchiladas were rather good. The green salsa is not the slightest bit spicy but can add hot sauce if want. Had imported glass bottles of soda from Mexico, including high sugar labeled cola. Not impressive but I did not get poisoned and left satisfied. There could be some special items hidden in the menu. Not much else close, so place is good in a pinch. Clean. read more

Oh man is this place good. I was looking for something new and this place blew me away! I got the Ribeye Carne Asada Taquitos which was mouth watering delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and came with some fresh guacamole, lettuce, tomato, refried beans, and rice. Honestly can't wait to go back and try more things off the menu. read more

We were visiting family in South Lyon and gave this place a try. We ordered over the phone, picked it up curbside, and were very happy. Good food. Good service. We will be back! read more

Hidden gem! Their Mexican is authentic and tastes amazing! Their queso is creamy, has a bit of jalapeño, and super flavorful. The salsa is homemade and full of flavor too. The portions are large. The tostadas are big and served with a bed of rice underneath. We've also had the burritos, chimichangas, and enchiladas. We order out here every weekend for lunch. Haven't been disappointed yet! read more

I ordered 3 different things... The beef taco, a burrito and an enchilada. The rice that came with the burrito was so delicious I think I could have just ordered that and been satisfied! (Seriously, I would come back for just that). Anyway, the restaurant inside seemed to be closed, but their Covid precautions are in place and they bring the food out to a table, so nobody has to be at risk. read more

Outstanding food Incredibly fast, friendly service and all I can say about the food and portions is WOW, WOW, WOW! Best nachos and chimichanga ever! So flavorful and authentic! New favorite place for great food! read more

I drove twenty minutes to find out you can only order out. They should update their yelp page

I've been in the service industry for years I try to never give poor reviews but I had their soft corn steak tacos, And I could not believe how awful they were ...every other bite was chewy fat I couldn't believe how poor the quality of the meat was. I spent $70 total and a carry out including a 20% tip and was so disappointed the chicken tacos were great the regular beef tacos also very good but the steak tacos I will never ever eat again. This was my third time there and my second time having steak tacos I could barely chew I thought the first time was just a poor cut of meat but twice not OK so sadly I will probably not be returning here. read more

Food and service is always excellent! Portion sizes are good, not too big. Have been there several times

If you want great Mexican cuisine, come here. The food is simply the best. It is authentic and tasty. Best Mexican I have had in years. We go there every week. read more

Second chance review: I would up the rating to 3.5 stars but since I can't it is closer to the original 3 stars than 4, so at 3 it stays. We got a steak chimichanga, pork nachos, and carne asada taquitos. The food was slightly better than last time, but the prices are even higher. In terms of taste the rice is awful, dry and flavorless. The beans are standard for a place 1/3 the price. The main entree is better than a dive joint but not above average. Carne asada is not marinated in anything as far as I can tell. Not tender or juicy either, but it has okay flavor. The pork was far better, so....good. It sounds like a bad review, and I suppose it ain't good, but that is all because of the pricing relative to other similar establishments. Prices are about 50% more than one would expect for the same quality food elsewhere. And then again no chips and salsa to boot. The "toppings" like guac, pico, and salsa are the best of the lot. If the prices were cut by 33% or 1/3 it would get the 4th star. read more

Stopped in for lunch on Saturday with the Grandkids.... had chicken nachos & fajitas... not to hot... lots of lettuce and tomatoes!!! Excellent will go back read more

By far the freshest tasting Mexican food around. A giant amount of Guacamole is only $1.50 which is awesome! Great pricing and the kindest of staff. Will definitely keep coming back for more! read more

This place is great! Friendly family owned and great food. My favorite is the chorizo!

Absolutely love this place! Definitely found my new go to for Mexican food. If you want something that tastes fresh and is quality, then this is it. It's not "fast food" so don't expect your order within 5 minutes. She cooks it fresh and you can tell the difference. ***for those that are complaining about the phone: this is the ONLY mexican restaurant in South Lyon and protocols and everything changed since COVID hit..so relax and give the owner a break. Geeze, can't even cut local family business owners slack during a pandemic...thankfully they've been busy and aren't one of the many who lost their business read more

Best Mexican food in the area hands down. Very easy and convenient curbside pick up. You will not regret it.

Terrible service. Cinco de Mayo I get it super busy day but to have your phone lines busy for over an hour straight then to arrive and try and place an order only to stand here and wait with ZERO communication whatsoever is ridiculous. New family just moved to the area won't ever be eating here again! read more

They do a great job! Yummy food and they package very well. I especially enjoyed the Churros! Great Tacos!

A pleasant surprise and new edition to the limited selection here in South Lyon. Food was delicious and the price was just about right. Big portions, great guacamole, and they don't seem to scrimp or cut corners on things. I will say that my kid wasn't super impressed with their seafood burrito, but I feel like that was his fault for... well, ordering a seafood burrito. All the classics were done right and delicious. read more

Ordered for takeout several taco both corn and flour, hard and soft. The shrimp, ribeye asada, carnitas, chorizo and chicken were great. Even the side of salsa was wonderful. Definitely will try more of the menu next visit. read more

Fantastic Mexican food! Whole family loved their dinners & I have picky kids! The portions were generous. Friendly staff as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Been wanting to try this place since reading about it. A bit off the trail, but worth it for some tasty chorizo tacos. The tomatillo salsa gave it a great extra zing. Our group also had the chicken tings nachos, the big burrito and the carnita fajitas quesadillas. All were very tasty. read more

Really good home cooked style Mexican food is hard to find outside of Mexicantown in Detroit. Most stuff is Qdoba or Taco Bell. This place has really authentic recipes including ingredients as varied as honeycombed stomach. I had the tacos which were the best I've had in the state. Everything else was very solid as well. I'm very excited to have a locally owned place of such a quality, and I highly encourage folks to check it out. read more

Such a great addition to the South Lyon area. We've yet to be disappointed by the food here, everything tastes fresh. Some of our favorites include the Shrimp Tacos, the beef nachos and the beef burrito with green peppers. Sometimes they're very busy but it's always worth the wait. read more

The lady handling our order call was very patient over the phone. The food is very authentic and the amount was great for the price. When we arrived for pick up, our order was already packed nicely and sitting outside awaiting for our pickup. Great service during this pandemic time! read more

This is seriously the best Mexican restaurant around!! The tacos, burritos, rice, beans, etc. are amazing. They only down fall is they only offer take out, but besides that I highly recommend trying this place. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for quite sometime. I'm so glad I finally did! This place is by far the best Mexican I've had in this area. We will definitely be back again, and again! read more

Tried this carry-out once again, ordered two sets of 3 tacos, one set ground beef, the other set with the spicy chicken, both sets on flour tortillas. I was definitely impressed!! Very fresh ingredients, spiced just right, very filling. Definitely would recommend these and would order them again. Great job!! read more

The food here is so good. I have tried and liked the shrimp tacos, hubby likes the chorizo tacos. beef enchiladas with the red sauce( I prefer more sauce, next time I will order an extra side), the ala plancha burrito ( the queso sauce is so good, you may want to order an extra side)and beef nachos. All are very good and I highly recommend them. Tried the shrimp fajitas tonight, they are delicious! I wish they had beans and rice with every meal, that's just me though. read more

I have had tried calling five different times to place an order, not once on those five different days has anyone answered the phone. I will not be trying to order from Two Tostadas again. They just a potential customer. read more

My and my mom shared a quesadilla and a burrito with seasoned ground beef. The quesadilla was outstanding, but the ground beef on the burrito was very salty. It was still good, but couldn't eat very much of it. read more
