    Chicken tacos, beans and rice
    Jason A.

    I'm here in Michigan visiting family from Los Angeles, being half Mexican and from LA, where Mexican food is king. I went in expecting a little. I was blown away, I got chicken tacos, that were amazing, the beans and rice tasted homemade, the service was very friendly. This place could survive in Southern California.

    Service was a bit slow (they were understaffed). Tacos were ok, kinda what you would expect for tacos in a small town. I wish they had a bit more flavor

    Chicken Fajitas
    Ethan Z.

    My friend and I traveled to Sturgis MI to run some business errands and came across this awesome place located right off the main drag. We walked in and greeted and sat immediately. This is a quiet little place that has AMAZING food! For starters they give Chips and Beans rather than salsa - this was so good! They also brought a bottle of salsa verde that was to die for, I really wanted to ask for a bottle to take home! I opted for the Chicken Fajitas and they were really good. I believe they use peanut oil to cook the chicken and veggies in which is my favorite. It also came with rice, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream with corn tortillas. My friend got pork and chicken tamale and he said they were really good! I would highly recommend trying this place out!

    This neighborhood market, grocery store, resto and family owners have been around Defiance for a…read morelong time. My first encounter with this local gem was over twenty years ago on my first visit to this Ohio town, and it's still around with improvements, enhancements and is still great overall! A terrific family run business. From its jam-packed with a wide array of dry and can goods on grocery shelves, great meats, extensive local baked goods, and a much renovated and expanded restaurant and really nice Mexican-style bar! If you're in town and are in the mood for an ice-cold Dox Equis and/or Jalisco style Mexican cuisine, this the place for you! Their goodies run the gamut from an incredible Pozole to Grilled Chicken delights, to delectable Burritos to mouthwatering tacos, some terrific, refried beans and incredible chips and salsa! I think they are one of the top five Mexican food joints in the Defiance area. Oh, and do your groceries while you're at it. Buen provecho ya'll.

    Stopped in recently and honestly it was just okay. The food was pretty mediocre and the service was…read morereally slow, even though the place wasn't that busy. What really bothered me was the surprise 3.5% surcharge they add if you pay with a card. That includes debit cards too. I didn't see any signs about it and wasn't told until the check came. At that point, I didn't have cash, so I had no choice. For anyone wondering, surcharges on debit cards aren't allowed under Visa and Mastercard rules. I get that places are trying to cover costs, but it should be clear up front and within the rules. I wouldn't have stayed if I knew about the extra fee--or I would've stopped at my bank across the street to grab some cash. Just a heads-up for anyone thinking of stopping by: bring cash.
