    Carry out order ::::::::This place is terrible I would never order from here again the Chicken taste like it's tuna from a can the tortilla bowl was so soggy I'm not a man that waste food often, but I honestly threw all this away worst 35$ spent .... Everything was in the car maybe 5 mins and ordered on the spot and sat and waited for another 30 mins.

    Chori Queso - A hand is dipping a chip into a creamy, cheesy dip in a black square dish placed on a wooden table. The dip appears thick with visible bits of ingredients, and some of it is spilled around the dish. A metal spoon rests inside the dish, and a white napkin is visible in the background.

    We arrived at 5:00 on a Monday. There was 1 woman seated and the looked fully staffed. We started with the Churio Queso...delicious! We ordered Arnold Palmers to drink & they were made perfectly! I got the Chicken Quesadilla. I wasn't impressed by the chicken. It did indeed taste like canned chicken (almost tuna fish consistency) as stated on previous posts. My husband had beef chimichanga and beef tamale platter with rice and beans. He said they were good. Our server was Ella and was super sweet! Very attentive.

    Burrito Verde.  My favorite.

    One of my favorite Mexican food places. We've had pretty much everything on the menu over the last decade & never had a bad meal. Prices have increased greatly as everything else has. They even charge $1.10 for the "hot" sauce when they used to just give it to you upon request. And some of the draft beers that my husband drinks has doubled in price.

    a red plate with a waffle topped with whipped cream and fruit - A dessert served on a red oval plate includes a crispy pastry shell filled with a fried item, topped with whipped cream, cherries, and chocolate syrup. Two metal spoons are placed on the plate, one at the top and one at the bottom. The background shows a wooden surface.

    Best Mexican restaurant in the Flint area. Prices are very good, serving sizes are great, and the restaurant is clean and comfortable.

    After visiting here for years, things have went down hill. The manager is rude and the service has become very poor.

    While we are visiting our youngest daughter and her new husband in Flint, MI, she took us around to…read morenumerous favorite locations to eat--and this one quickly became a standout. If crepes had a fan club, I'd be the slightly overenthusiastic member handing out pamphlets on the street--and this place would be my headquarters. The Flint Crepe Company absolutely nails what you hope for when you walk into a spot like this--and then casually raises the bar just to show off a little. The menu? Loaded. Sweet, savory, "how is this even a crepe?"-level creative options that make choosing feel like a high-stakes life decision. You'll stand there pretending to read carefully, but really you're just trying to emotionally prepare for the fact that you can't order everything. (Yet.) For the record, I went with the Monte Cristo crepe--because apparently I like to live boldly--and it came drizzled with a raspberry jam that was so good it deserves its own fan base. Sweet, savory, a little indulgent... basically everything you want in one bite. Our daughter had the Lemon Drop, which somehow managed to be both bright and perfectly balanced without knocking you over with sweetness, and my wife opted for a savory crepe--which the two of them strategically split--because why choose between sweet and savory when you can just outsmart the system and have both? The vibe hits that perfect sweet spot: a little college-town energy, a little hipster charm, but not in a "you need a philosophy degree to order coffee" kind of way. It's welcoming, laid-back, and just cool enough to make you feel like you accidentally discovered something special. And can we talk about the staff? Genuinely excellent. Friendly without being overbearing, efficient without feeling rushed--they make the whole experience feel easy in the best way. Now, I don't usually include a bathroom review unless something has gone terribly wrong... but in this case, it's the opposite. Immaculate. Like, "did someone just clean this five seconds ago?" immaculate. It matters. It always matters. Bottom line: I love--no, love--this place. It's the kind of spot you plan to casually try once and then somehow end up emotionally attached to. Whether you're a crepe connoisseur or just someone who enjoys food that makes you pause mid-bite and go, "okay, wow," this place delivers. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when you start planning your next visit before you've even left.

    Flint Crepe Company is a must-visit breakfast-brunch spot in downtown Flint, for more reasons than…read moreI can fit into any review. There is plenty of seating, and they open up outdoor seating when warmer weather comes. Despite how busy it gets, you will find seating opens up pretty fast. The staff are kind, quick, and knowledgeable, and prices are reasonable for the caliber of quality you get with every menu option. They also have a seasonal menu that is worth keeping an eye on as it cycles throughout the year. Every dish I've ever had from here has been a feast for all my senses. I recently got the Michigan Smoke and substituted their roasted garlic cream sauce for the BBQ sauce- it was seriously delightful!!!! I usually get their egg crepe and they also have seasonal drinks.
