    I've had this place bookmarked forever, but was to busy to ever have a chance to come check this place out. It's not that far from where I work, so I finally stopped in to check it out. Walking in, the place is small, but very colorfully decorated. Mexican music was playing and there were a few tables to sit at. I talked to a nice man who showed me the lunch orders, and I went with the two beef tacos, rice and refried beans. I was hungry, but not dinner plate hungry. When I got home to eat, the food was good! I wasn't a huge fan of their soft taco shells, but they were good none the less. Refried beans were a bit runny, but tasty, and the rice was good as well. My bill was about $7 and change, and worth a nice quick stop if needed. I'm glad I checked this place out. Not the biggest but delicious none the less. Prices are fair, but seating here is extremely limited. Thank you La Botana, you were fabulous!

    Started with the asada fries with shredded chicken, medium sized guacamole, chips and salsa comes with our meal. 3 grilled chicken tacos on soft corn, 1 red shredded chicken tostada, 1 shredded chicken enchilada Rojas, 1 shredded chicken soft corn taco. A mango and mandarin Jarrito Mexican soda. They have a few different flavored Cholula hot sauces. The asada fries are cheesy and good, nice riff on the Botana, replaced the beef with chicken, think shredded chicken would be even better. Lots of jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole and goodness. Their medium guacamole is tasty and has a nice flavor and slight heat. Es muy sabrosa! The two salsas that come with the chips both seem pretty mild, the one is made with roasted tomatoes, looks more green. The roasted tomato salsa seems to be hotter and may have some jalapeños in there, see traces of seeds in it. The grilled chicken tacos were so tasty. My shredded chicken taco was good as well. The tostada was yummy but my favorite was the shredded chicken enchilada Rojas best. Loving their Roja sauce, could put that on everything. I put the lettuce, cheese and sour cream but I think all of my a la carte items would have been even better with lettuce, sour cream, cheese, onions and cilantro on it, next time. The one thing I would say that kept it from 5 for us, the chips weren't bad, neither the salsa, all could have been better and the chicken, grilled or shredded were all too salty for me. The service was friendly and attentive and we felt very cosy here. They brought the food out to us as it finished. They even cleaned up after us before we left. I get why this place is so well liked. My husband said their chicken tacos are as good her as his favorite place in Warren, that's quite a compliment. I liked all of my a la carte items here better. It doesn't even feel like you are at a fast food counter order Mexican here, it's small, but you will quickly forget as the hum of Latino canciones playing in the background. It feels like Cinco de Mayo here suddenly. A Margarita sounds good right about now. We will no doubt be back here soon enough. They do offer some beer options too.

    Excellent Mexican Street taco joint. For my first visit here I ordered two Asada (steak) street…read moretaco's that were very authentic and had only cilantro, both fresh cut and sautéed onions, fresh lime slice on the side, all on top of two fried corn tortillas. The meats was very tender & flavorful, veggies quite fresh and finished product very very tasty. As a cautionary note, the Salsa was probably a medium on the spicy scale and if you like your food mild you may want to ask for the mild salsa that comes with the chips. Other item of note here is the chips and salsa come gratis if you dine in where they were good but not quite at the level as the taco's which were over the top good! Relative to the restaurant and staff, the facility itself has a smallish footprint where there are just two tables and one very long counter with stools for indoor dining. My take of this is that much of the business is probably carryout. Staff was very friendly where you order your food at the counter and they bring it to you if you are dining in the restaurant. there was no table follow up at this point where it really operate as a quasi fast food joint which I was totally OK with, Overall really good food at a very reasonable price (2 steak taco's were $8) where the taco's are some of the best I have had in Metro Detroit. If you are a fan of good authentic Mexican food than this is a business not to be missed.

    This business makes some seriously good and authentic Mexican street taco's. My carne Asada…read more(Steak) and Al Pastor (pork) taco's were well made and ohhh sooo tasty. From the doubled up corn tortillas, to the tender well cooked meat, cilantro and their wonderful sautéed onions these Street style Taco's are as authentic as anything you would get in Mexico. The gratis house chips and Salsa were equally tasty and a nice complement to the Taco's all being washed down with a sugar cane based Mexican coke. The total bill came in at a very reasonable cost of $12 which is a great value in today's economy and a great deal by any standard. Relative to staff and facility, this appears to be a small family run business where the restaurant itself is located in a small strip mall at the corner of Franklin and Square Lake Rd with an equally small footprint for the restaurant. This is a very unpretentious business (think hole in a wall but in a nice way) with a limited number of dining tables and small staff. Having said that, I had no problem in getting seated and getting my order taken and food brought out in fairly quick order! I have been on a kick for a while now trying to find the best taco joint in the the northern Oakland county area and have to say this is as good as I have come across up to now and am a big fan of this business. If you are into well made authentic Mexican street taco's than this is a must visit for you. This was my first visit here and definately will not be my last where I will be combining this dining venue with my regular Bloomfield Hills Costco trips which is a Quarter mile from the restaurant.

What made the experience worse - my beans were not the only thing the server either forgot or just didn't want to bring to the table, But we wanted to order drinks, NOPE! - he didn't bring the Verde salsa, and when we a table of 5 asked for missing items - he showed in tone, facial expression, that he was irritated with our questions for the very things that came with our meals!

The restaurant itself has a relatively small foot print where the tables are close together and where there are no frills about this place and definately a tad on the rustic side.

Service is quite quick where once seated you get your food within a few minutes making this an excellent spot if you are on the run and looking for a good meal on the quick. Prices are cheap in my opinion where my three taco's and a coke came to just $12. NICE! Two things to note here is that the chips and salsa are not gratis but come at an extra cost and follow up once you get food was non existent in my case. Chips and salsa was not a big deal to me but lack of follow up prevented this business from getting a fifth star. Overall and my minor gripes aside, if you are fan of really good Mexican street taco's than this is a must visit if you are in the area! I wish this business was closer to my home in West Bloomfield as I would be a regular here for sure!

Small interior with some seating, but I got my burrito to go. Staff was friendly and my food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. The tortilla was so greasy. Costco pizza x10. Seriously; I had to use some napkins on the tortilla because it was just soaked in grease. Not great. I got the steak. It was very good. Tender; no chewy bites and pretty good flavor. Good portions throughout the burrito. That was the highlight along with the guac. A chunky guac done well. It was fresh and just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, half my burrito was lacking in sour cream and cheese to the point I thought they forgot about it. The second half had better portions of those items, but more cheese would've benefited this. Finally, the fries were a joke. No seasoning and no crunch provided for a very unmemorable bite. A shame. Perhaps this was an off day. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. It was fine, but nowhere near what I was expecting. I might try this again, but need some time before I do that. Very good steak and guac. Everything else was lacking.
