    Vallarta fajita
    Jerry A.

    A very very good Mexican restaurant great food. I had the Vallarta fajita, beef chicken and mushrooms shrimp

    Chicken Fajitas.
    Jim I.

    You know I'm really trying to like this place it is the closest Mexican restaurant to me, and they have some good stuff on the menu. I walk in Sunday afternoon there are lot of cars in the parking lot I'm wondering if I might not get a seat. I peeked in and the restaurant was full however the bar was completely empty ... 0 seats taken at the bar. I advise the host that I will sit at the bar because it's the only place where seating is available he replied "We don't have a bartender right now so we will get to you as soon as we can. " So I sit at the bar and in less than 4 minutes somebody brings me a menu and asks what I like to drink. That's reasonable. In the meantime I watch no less than four different employees go behind the bar and make their own drinks. The special was the jumbo lime margarita so I tried it. Actually I've had it before and it wasn't bad ...however this time it tasted like diluted Squirt. I don't like different people who are not the bartender making my drinks every time . You get crap consistency. Last time I was here the bartender that was at work spent more time waiting on tables and they did waiting on the bar patrons. The food is good but not great. Exception: The guacamole above average like the other locations. I've had fajitas here before they are good but expensive. And I weigh the taste and quantity of meat or shrimp versus the dollar amount. Most other places give more food for less money and the taste is just as good. Even non Mexican places that serve Mexican food and serve fajitas give you more food for your money. And don't get me started on their Taco Tuesday there's nothing special about it. My wife is already done with this place I decided to give it a couple of extra chances because I really want it to be better. I like their outside patio in the summer I like the location. Now when I want Mexican I either make it at home or I drive to Milan, Adrian,Tecumseh Monroe, Lambertville or Toledo.

    Carne Asada tacos - SO GOOD AND FLAVORFUL!

    Wow!! Expectation EXCEEDED. Honestly the best Mexican food within a 100 mile radius. I had the bbq pork tacos with mango salsa and it was fantastic. Others had the tamales and chicken tacos which they also loved. They also have GREAT service. Our waiter was so attentive and I never ran out of water or chips and salsa. I do not understand the low rating! The margaritas are GIGANTIC and they are STRONG. Let me tell you - the ladies next to us had one margarita and were laughing so hard. This place is fantastic. Best addition to Dundee in 10 years. I will be coming again!!

    PinaRita with jalapeño chips and salsa.

    Margaritas are Pricey but good. The food was delicious. If you like mole' try theirs. Ask for "hot" salsa and they delivered. Very good. Would recommend but it's not cheap Mexican food.

    Pretty good. Nice and clean. Service was a little slow for there only being a couple tables on a Saturday. Quesabirria was pretty good but the consome was on the sweet side. Needed hot sauce. Their hot sauce is pretty good.

    Awesome chips and salsa!  Trying the Queso next time!

The tour guide even called ahead and told them that we would be there early. Our dinner choices had been called in advance. When we arrived there was only one waitress to try to serve 54 people. Apparently the two other waitresses did not show up for work. After two and a half hours most of our people had not received their food yet. We were on a time schedule for the bus driver. About half of our group were senior citizens. Some of them were diabetics. If the tavern was having problems they should have notified the tour operator and tried to make adjustments for the meals. If you only have a few people for dinner I'm sure it would have been a completely different situation. My wife and I ordered chicken Alfredo , it looked like watered down Mac and cheese with a few pieces of chicken mixed together.

    I'm a pushover who never sends food back or ever left a review. I downloaded yelp just for this…read morereview. Only option was 3 tacos, chicken or beef. That alone told me I wasn't going to receive something authentic. Immediately after ordering, I was handed a pre-made box of the tacos and rice and beans. It's not too much to ask for steet tacos to be made on the street. The box was obviously sitting for a bit and cold. The rice had gotten glued together as it does when sitting and the meat was room temp. The tacos (if you could call them that) were quite sad. There wasn't enough chicken to even go across the bottom of the tortilla. The only other thing in them was lettuce, and an unnoticeable amount of cheese maybe? And no cilantro?? at a place called cilantro?!?!?? This place dances with false advertising. $15 for what I received is egregious. I feel like I was robbed. They are clearly taking advantage of old white people who think real tacos look like taco bell. In fact, just go to taco bell instead. 70% cheaper and 100% better.

    I got the 3 tacos. both beef and chicken. With a name like cilantro, you would expect some…read morecilantro in your taco....none. On top of that its just meat, shredded lettuce and a white cheese. Nothing about the tacos was good. They were the most bland americanized tacos ive ever had. I would expect this quality at a walmart, or a kids event. Salsa was good, beans were good, rice was ok. taco's not so much.

The minute we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendliest folks who showed us to our table. Side Note- The University of Michigan was playing and the restaurant was slammed- but the staff never skipped a beat. The minute Alexis, our waitress, came to our table she was friendly, kind, and super helpful with recommendations and explaining some of the items on the menu. We started with the deviled eggs as an appetizer (pictured)- they may have lasted 2 minutes- because they were so delicious. In the end, my wife decided on the Drunk Guy burger (burger with cheddar cheese, cream cheese, one onion ring, and topped with bourbon hickory sauce. It was cooked well done (as she asked) which was cooked to perfection! I chose the O'Hanna burger, which was a burger with Swiss cheese, bacon, pineapple, and a hickory sauce- cooked to perfection! We both chose the sweet potato tots with a marshmallow/Carmel dipping sauce....yup, you read that right- I could have eaten the sauce with a spoon. These 2 burgers were THE best burgers my wife and I have ever eaten. We were so impressed with the atmosphere, the staff, and the food. If it couldn't have gotten any better, they gave us a thank you card for stopping in. If you are within 100 miles of Dundee, MI- do yourself a favor and come to Social House 103 and try ANYTHING on the menu!!!
