Went there the other night and ordered a steak fajita, which we have ordered on previous visits. First: we saw on menu that the price had increased 4$ since last time which was shocking. Second: we split the meal between 2 people. Third: When got bill we were charged an extra amount of money to do this !! Fourth: The wait staff is slow and not very informative Why do they place an extra charge to split a meal??? when they know that it is enough food for four people. Probably won't be coming back! read more

They have a claw machine and I won a labubu. I am a VIP Costumer and one of the waitresses' son (Carrie's stepson.) also, the food was great! The ambience is pleasant! Great restaurant overall highly recommended it!! read more

Great food great atmosphere, love the rice and the salsa is delicious.!!!! Definitely worth trying

Every Friday I order the same thing cheese and onion Enchiladas and corn chowder. I have half of my Enchiladas for dinner the other half for dinner on Saturday and corn chowder for dinner on Sunday. The food is always great and so is the service I've only ate in the Ortonville location a few times and never had any issues. read more

My dad ate breakfast at Escamilla Amigos every Sunday for YEARS! We stopped in after my dad passed to carry on the tradition. Our service at the bar was wonderful! The food was excellent, plus the personalized service and stories about our dad was exactly what we needed! Hernan and his family took great care of my dad every time he stepped foot in their restaurant. They knew him like family! Thank you so much for taking care of our dad for so many years, and then for taking care of us when we truly needed it!! read more

The Food was good as usual. most likely will be our last trip..... our waitress literally looked like she was wearing underwear! no joke. maybe they should put a dress code in place. i thought it was a family restaurant? obviously not read more

go, just wanted a plain chicken quesadilla I got there to pick it up and it was almost $20. They tried to argue with me about it Saying that it comes with beans and rice and it's a whole meal, got home and opened it and there's about half of a palm size serving of rice same with the beans and the quesadilla itself was really flavorless and Bland and the rice had a really disgusting taste of it as well. Never again when I come back here. read more

My husband and I eat here pretty much weekly and the food as well as the service is great I have never had anything I didn't like here...excellent in my opinion read more

We love the chicken quesadillas! We usually order the quesadillas as a take-out and the staff packs up the quesadillas separate from the toppings to ensure they don't get soggy on the drive home. The quesadilla alone has a lot of flavor and perfectly crisp, but it also comes with plenty of delicious toppings and sides to go along with it. The staff is always very friendly and has our food ready in a timely manner no matter how busy they are. Definitely our favorite place to get chicken quesadillas from :) read more

Love this place it ihas great food good Prices , great service. Stop have a a drink.

Great food for the price. Chips and salsa are always fresh. Service is sometimes hit or miss and sometimes they charge you for extra chips when it doesn't make sense but it's a solid restaurant. read more

Escamilla's is consistently a fantastic place- from the service to the food, it is spot on every time

What a surprisingly great visit! We were on a trek to Ortonville and Davison from Lake Orion and in the middle of a busy day of gardening and planting. We decided to stop to get a quick bite to eat and had such a great meal! We had the El Pastor tacos, a plain burrito and a chicken fajita burrito. The chips were good and the salsa had a great depth of fresh flavor to it. The guacamole was like heaven!! Cool and creamy with chunks of avocado that hit the spot. My Pastor tacos were so flavorful and well cooked - delicious! The fajita burrito had fresh peppers and it was huge! The atmosphere is fun and easy. Super place to stop. We'll be back! read more

ROCK IN MY CHIMICHANGA Honestly, I have been a loyal customer for awhile & they have the best chimichanga's I have ever had. So naturally I was extremely excited when my boyfriend brought me one home for dinner. As I was scarfing down my chicken chimmy, I bit into something so hard that I thought my tooth broke off.... SPOILER ALERT: IT DID. I spit out the wad of food and found a GOD DAMNED ROCK IN MY CHICKEN CHIMMY. If you eat here, make sure you double check your food before putting it into your mouth. And, Escamilla's, ya better pay for my tooth to get replaced or give me free chicken chimmys for life. read more

See all

Horrible mexican food very small portions as well as hard rice & soggy beans. Idk how they stay in business unless most people out here have no idea what mexican food is. Yuck I'd eat taco bell before this place. read more

Food is hit or miss as far as taste and quality go. On the days it's a hit, they knock it out of the park and their is nothing better anywhere. On the miss days, it makes you wonder how they stay open. The service is always good but depending on the cook the food you have a 50-50 shot. read more

First time here. I like the place. Plenty of choices. I enjoyed the beans, rice and their salsa. I had the cheese and onion enchiladas. They were good but slathered in cheese over the enchiladas too much for my liking. Our server was very good and handled our group of ten easily. Sorry I forgot her name. I want to go back and try some other meals. We sat in the dining area separate from the filled bar area so we were able to hear each other talk. read more

The service was great our waitress was nice. She got everything we needed. The food was okay at best I got the steak fajita. It was okay there was some flavor the rice and beans didn't have any flavor. The chips were pretty greasy but the salsa was great. Overall not a bad place but if your looking for some really good Mexican food I would not come here. read more

The food was super good! My family and I really loved it! The service was good and it just had a great vibe overall! I will absolutely be eating here again and I will 100 percent recommend it to my friend! read more

Had the shredded beef chimichanga, oh yum! I asked for the queso on the side as other yelpers suggested. Great idea. Also ordered an appetizer of queso, it was great with the salsa they make as your free appetizer. My friend got the tostadas and they give you three, wow. She loved hers too. Her son had a burger that looked delicious! Get here early for dinner on Friday night, there was a line out the door when we left. We got there around 6:00 and found a seat right away. read more

Amazing food and staff, of the 20+ times we've gotten food from them it's only been less than perfect once- carry out they forgot something small, a side item, one time and actually called us apologizing and offering to make up for it before we even realized it was missing. Great service and great food for there being very little in the area. read more

Such great food, every time I've eaten here the service has been amazing. Please try this food if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed read more

If you're ever having a taco craving this is the place to satisfy it. Most amazing AUTHENTIC Mexican food I've ever had from a restaurant. Their salsa could win awards if that was a thing. The waitresses Carrie and Mikaila are absolutely awesome, provide amazing service, and always put a smile on my face! All other staff are great too (just don't know their names). Great places to grab a bite to eat with friends and family. Not one dish I've had that I didn't absolutely love. You won't be disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

Brownie was dry and tasted like it was a week or two passed it's expiration date. Overpriced. Server couldn't handle the amount of tables tasked with appropriately. read more

Now i' here sicker then a dog. was charged for open food and what is tha for a $1.00 added. also charged for more chips at $2.50 that we thought was free with our meals aware she will take advanage if she can' We Will Not Ever Be Caught In there agian. And we will spread. read more

The food is never very good here, it sucks that more choices aren't available for Mexican in northern Oakland County. Today my wife and I got carry out (her request). Both of our meals had grilled chicken (for $1.00 more). Poor choice, the chicken was tough and tasteless, like it had been sitting out overnight. We won't be back. read more

I am SO disappointed the food here was absolutely horrible me and my family took one bite of our meals asked for the check and left and will never go back to that place .. YUCK read more

Best damn Mexican you'll find around here! Tried nearly everything on the menu and never been disappointed! Flavoring is spot on! Careful of their tostadas for some people they may be too HOT to handle! These aren't any Taco Bell tostadas. LOL read more

This is my second time here. The atmosphere is very cozy and the staff is friendly. This time i got the shrimp tacos and they were excellent! Shrimp was seasoned perfectly and there was a good amount in the tacos! The refried beans are a bit blah but they mix well with the rice :) read more

Escamilla Amigos - Shrimp tacos - American Near Me - Ortonville, Michigan

Yummy Mexican and American cuisine. Family owned and ran. Friendly fast service. Serves breakfast on the weekends.

One time I was trying to order in Spanish and I accidentally ordered a Mexican and they were pretty chill about it, the foods good and the staff is great! They didn't give me my Mexican tho! read more

Bugs in the lettuce. The place should be shut down. The manager was too busy to speak with me. I would avoid this place read more

Food is mediocre, they charge for extra chips and salsa, they charge a credit card fee, this is not the place you want to go. The margaritas were very watery and not very authentic. read more

I loooove Escamilla amigos! Great service and the food is always fresh. Good prices and great flavors. Their chips and salsa come fresh and is great. I love the tres tacos with el pastor and the flautas. read more

Tried this place on a Sunday night. The dining room was small, and almost full, but most diners were starting to leave once we arrived. We sat at a table, were greeted with menus after several minutes, and asked for our drink order. It took about 10 minutes to get a water and a coke. The menu is ridiculously huge for a Mexican restaurant. They have diner food as well as Mexican, which should have been a red flag, but my sister ordered cheese enchiladas and I ordered a chimichanga, which came smothered in "cheese sauce," which I declined and asked for enchilada sauce instead. My sister also told the server that we needed to make a carry out order, a burrito dinner, and to put it in when our food came so it would be ready when we were done. By the time we ordered, the dining room had cleared out except for one other table. The food came somewhat quickly, although my sister got chicken enchiladas rather than cheese. The enchilada sauce was oddly sweet, and not good. The beans were watery and bland and the rice was completely tasteless and crunchy like it has been around for a while. The idea of a chimichanga being smothered in sauce is stupid because it was totally soggy by the time it was served. My sister wasn't happy getting the wrong order, and waited several minutes to tell the waitress but she didn't come back. She was so hungry she said screw it and ate the chicken enchiladas, but was so disgusted only ate about a quarter of them. We waited quite a while for the carry out order, which never came. The waitress finally appeared with the bill, and of course the carry out wasn't on there. Again, it was quite a while until she came back to the table. My sister had to go to the bar to tell someone we still needed the order to go, and the waitress responded, "Oh, do you still want it?" Uh... Yeah? I guess it wasn't that stupid of a question though, after having eaten at Escamilla Amigos I wouldn't want to serve it to my family ;). Two stars for having cold beer. read more

The chips are warm, crispy and well seasoned. The salsa is very good, with a good kick of cilantro. Service is friendly and prompt. The floor was not clean - the rugs that run alongside the tables had food debris and napkin wrappers strewn about - nothing a sweeper couldn't fix. No real ambiance or decorating - tired beer posters. The chicken burrito was decent, nothing to get excited about, nothing to complain about. When I asked for more salsa, the waitress informed me that salsa refills are 99 cents, and asked if that was okay. Odd, but not unreasonable. Overall, I'd say it is middle of the road Mexican food. read more
