    Salsa Verde
    Ashley H.

    Food was hot and fresh, so much flavor. The salsa verde was thick not runny like most places. I walked back in to tip them extra after I ate in my car. I am a taco expert, I almost skipped out on this place due to the reviews. I've lived in Texas where the barbacoa is cooked underground for 8-12 hours. I know real tacos and I have to say for the area these are the best in the area hands down. I would even choose this place over 3/4 of the places in southwest Detroit and even name them comparable to Texas vendors. One of the comments I seen stated fatty prices, if you ordered carnitas it's part of the meat, and most people love it. I did have one large fatty chunk but I picked it apart and there was lots of meat in it and it made the taco even more succulent. When I head north I will 100% go out of my way for their tacos. The rice was just average nothing to brag about the beans were good flavor but nothing I would rave about but better than average. My brother ordered birria tacos and he didn't talk the entire time he ate and that says a lot, although we would have enjoyed a more rich consome it was still good. The guys in there were smiling and kind. The place was clean.

    Nice new taco spot in Brighton. Tasty tacos and burritos. My wife had the Fajita Burrito and I had the Quesabirria. Both were very and served fresh. We also had chips and some tasty salsa. Next time we will try the Happy Fries and probably some Pastor tacos. Definitely a new place we are glad to have and service was very quick and friendly for a counter service eatery. We will be back!

The restaurant itself is bright, colorful, clean, and really well designed. I loved the clever bench seating, the bar was well stocked, and there's outdoor seating plus an upstairs area that looked really cool. They also have a walk-up taco window outside, which is a fun idea. We sat in the bar area, and the service was amazing. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The food, though, was really underwhelming. Almost everything we tried lacked seasoning and flavor. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which had very little chicken and were pretty bland. I did like the very thinly sliced jalapeños on top. The rice was nice and fluffy but didn't have much flavor, and they serve black beans, which just aren't my preference with Mexican food. The house-made salsa was surprisingly sweet, and I was disappointed that the chips didn't seem house-made. If I'm going out for Mexican food, fresh chips are one of those little things I really look forward to. My husband ordered tacos at $6 each, which felt pretty steep considering we're used to excellent tacos in the $2-$3 range. His carne asada was cooked closer to medium rare, which wasn't what we expected at all from carne asada. The queso was another disappointment. It tasted very similar to Rico's cheese sauce you can buy at the grocery store. Overall, great service, great decor, very clean and a fun atmosphere, but the food just didn't match the setting or the reviews for us. At these prices, I expected a lot more flavor. Unfortunately, we left pretty disappointed.

It was pretty busy at this time of day, and there was not much parking. But I did locate some parking in the rear of the grill. I went in, and the host took my name and phone number due to the place being busier than usual, within the hour, the host contacted me via a phone text message to let me know that the table was ready. Tge place has a bar and a nice table setup with a romantic vibe. I was quickly seated along with my friend and the waitress, came over quickly. I ordered a drink and a few appetizers which included the satay chicken and the beef tips. The appetizers were filling and a great item to be shared. The beef tips were were tender and the chicken came with a great sauce. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. I will plan on coming back again.
