    On a door to a cooler. Guess their hireing?
    Rudy D.

    Just stopped in for a beer. Price was reasonable but took a bit to get wrung up. Beer was cold.

    Service was friendly and fast. Nice little restaurant attached to a store, lots of seating either at tables or booths. They have happy hour M-F 3-6pm and brunch on Saturday & Sunday. We got the chorizo queso and asada corn tacos with rice and beans - everything was yummy!

    La Jalisciense has been on my "want to go" list for so long because it's probably the pinnacle of Mexicantown food and it was totally worth it! I ordered a ton more off of their menu given that everything sounded so delicious! I got the gordita (yum!), beef tripe tacos (literally so delicious and perfectly fried, probably my favorite item I got), the fried pork greaves to start, horchata to drink (a little watered down), and some churros to end it. Everything was incredibly delicious and so flavorful! This spot is so authentic and lively and shares the same building with their supermarket too, which sells so many Hispanic essentials, I definitely stocked up! So make sure to check out both the taqueria and supermarket when you're here!!

    Fun festive vibes and excellent food. My mom and I really enjoyed the choriqueso, chicken quesadilla, and guacamole. The fresh squeezed lemonade was delicious too. Attentive and friendly service. Spacious dining room and an outdoor patio too. There a fantastic market attached too. I buy my salsas and other goodies here. Free parking lot. Great place and great food. I'll be back.

I enjoyed the service and everyone was so nice. Food $$: They have a wide range and the tacos I got were pretty good. The Al pastor was very flavorful!

    I have been to this place three times and unfortunately each time it is mid for me. The good: I came for a yelp event and while I enjoyed the event menu, other things I did not. The Gordita was very good. I liked how they were able to make it red, but it didn't taste artificial. I would come just to order the normal one again. Their horchata is very good too. A little more sweet than I like, but once my ice melts a little I enjoy it. Their carnitas are the best I have had from a restaurant to be very honest. The meat is so tender and flavored well. I come back for this meat itself. I have had their shrimp and I did enjoy that taco too. My disliking: I do not like their other meats. The pollo seems too dry and the flavor isn't there for me. The asada has a great flavor and chopped well, but it's just too dry also. Their rice is not my favorite. I always seemed to get rice that is burnt a little each time I've eaten it. I do not like the salsa. It tasted more oniony and wasn't spicy. I probably could have asked for a different salsa so that's not a reflection of the restaurant I will say. Service: their service is hit or miss. Our waitress forgot our drinks for a little for some of the people at our table. One of the staff did not speak enough English which was hard for some at the table who can't not speak/understand Spanish. Fortunately I can, but when I was away there was a serious language barrier. We did have one girl checking on us very often so that was nice. Overall the staff were pretty friendly and helpful. The grocery store is amazing. There are so many things inside there. So many snacks and treats that brings back your childhood. You can also buy ice cream, meats and other goodies. Be warned about the parking. The lot is very small so definitely just venture to the street. Overall just because I wasn't a fan, doesn't mean you wouldn't be. I still say give this place a try and have a big open mind. They have a variety to try from and I hear the alcoholic beverages are good.

    Huaraches with chicken

    My experience was just ok. I've had several friends who love this place and I wanted to give it to myself. The ambiance is great, feels like you're in Mexico as soon as you step in. I loved the decor and the grocery store next door. I ordered the huaraches with chicken. It required salsa for me to eat it because it lacked flavor, I'm my opinion. The chips and salsa were good though. I ordered a strawberry margarita that was refreshing.

    Drive is great the food is authentically delicious and the drinks are so strong I heard. I got a cutesy mocktail and I did want to add a shot but it was so tasty it really didn't need it . The vibes are unmatched and the food was fresh and delectable

    Hidden gem! I would've never known it was here had I not been told. Decor was nice; tables and chairs outdated. The food was flavorful, I do feel portion is smaller than your usual Mexican restaurant especially the salsa and Nacho portion. Service was ok...would I visit again, yes.

    Mercedes V.

    5 stars for service. The lady servers and male bartender did an amazing job of keeping the customers feel welcomed and constantly asking how the food tastes and if something else is needed. I couldn't remember if music was playing but I couldn't hear any conversation from other tables. The dining hall decorated with colorful banderetas, day of the dead inspired paintings and dolls can be seen from the walls. A small bowl of crunchy chips with red tomato and onion salsa was served for free as appetizer. The entrees we ordered were served in a traditional Mexican bowl or plate. Surprisingly ironic that the rice is not proportion to the amount of meat ordered, so we had to order another side of rice, beans and a couple pieces of corn tortillas. 4 stars on the food but the fruit juices was the highlight of our visit. Highly recommend the melon and cucumber juice ... so worth the $5 per medium glass. Felt the sugar rush that I went frequently to the ladies room ‍ Love the crispy pork belly that they call chicharron. It is sold $15.99 per pound at their store but in the dining menu it is priced less than I expected and accompanied with slices of lime. Free limited parking in their front lot. Walked extra careful because the snow is piling us from the ground and at its lowest temperature. This is my 2nd Time to visit La Jalisciense and I couldn't forget how nice the table service is with Veronica and the other ladies. Check out was fast and yes they accept credit cards! Medium sized grocery in the other side of the building. Selling most of the things missed by Spanish speaking guests. There have a deli section, selling household items, spices, drinks and even party favor piñatas. Before leaving the premises, I suggest playing the claw machine for extra fun!

    I've been to La Jalisciense (I live 5 minutes away), but I had never had their tacos before. Mine was fantastic and that's due to the well marinated Al Pastor in the taco. The Al Pastor was very flavorful; it wasn't just pork with a bit of seasoning. It was juicy and a little sweet and really made the Torta Other than the taco, I got my usual Birria de Chivo, which is, personally, my favorite item they offer. I rarely see this dish at other spots (and when they have it, it's with Lamb and you don't get much meat). It's a Goat Stew that just tastes incredible and refreshes you. While I wasn't using it for its medicinal qualities today, it is an excellent hangover cure, and is one of the most savory, comforting dishes you can eat. I love it. The last thing I love about La Jalisciense is the market that accompanies the restaurant. It is incredibly specialized with Hot Sauces, Meats and Chilies you wouldn't be able to find at many of the larger Grocery Stores in SW Detroit. They have incredibly well marbled Ribeye steaks, every flavor of El Yukatecko hot sauce, every flavor of Knorr Bouillon, and rare food like Pork Confit. It's awesome. Lastly, the interior of the market is incredibly bright and new. This is not a dingy spot at all, and is awesome for dates or to bring friends. The service has been absolutely wonderful every time I've visited.

    The food here is amazing!!!! The service is friendly and they make sure to school you on what's available on their extensive menu. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy fantastic cuisine that's tailored to your desires. This restaurant is low key and the food will have you coming back soon!

    Decent menu with something for everyone

    I just ate at La Jaliscience's food truck, and the food was fantastic! The truck is located on the west side of Randolph street, just north of Cadillac Square, in the parking lot behind 7-11. I ordered three steak tacos with beans and rice. The tacos were in soft corn tortillas, topped with cilantro and onions. They were served with lime slices and a picante sauce. Yum! The rice was flavored with red peppers and the beans were creamy. Service was quick and super friendly. Business seemed a bit slow, I hope it picks up - the truck is literally steps from my office and I'd like to become a regular.

    Michigan & Trumbull is hands down the best pizza in Detroit…read more I've only ever ordered delivery, and even then, it's consistently incredible. The pizza shows up looking amazing and somehow tastes even better. Classic Detroit-style crust with crispy edges, light and airy inside, and bold, well-balanced toppings. It's gourmet, original, and just flat-out better than anything else I've had in the city. What really stands out is how well it travels. The pizza arrives hot, intact, and exactly how it should be, which is not easy to pull off with Detroit-style pizza. You can tell they care about quality all the way through, not just when it leaves the kitchen. Delivery is always smooth, and the overall experience has been great every time.

Although I may come back again to try a different pizza to judge that portion of this establishment better since it didn't feel any different to me from other chain restaurants I've tried so not sure what's the hype about. Seating is limited, service is bad. They open at 12pm on a Sunday and I had called at 12.05 to check if they have a waiting , they first refused to put us on wait list on the phone which is ok, next they mention (at 12.05pm) they already had a waiting of 45 min. While we did place the order on the phone to pick up in 20-25 min, when we arrived we did find a couple seats empty and for some reason they were discouraging us to get a seat when we had mentioned multiple times that we would like to dine in and only take togo if there is a long waiting. There were people waiting outside on the picnic style tables they have which they call "outdoor seating". They were not waiting to be seated as well and just waiting for their pizza to go when we asked. While taking the pizza we asked if we can get some water they refused they don't have water for to go! I already had placed a cola for togo so it was hard to imagine that they have colas but no water?!?!? Service is exceptionally bad for our experience and this will highly discourage us to even try this place again anytime soon

The menu board has some suggestions for their pre-designed salads, bowls, burritos and smoothies. Or you can "build your own" on the fly and like Subway and Chipotle (but way better!), they add the ingredients as it goes down the line. I decided to stick with the "Kare Bear" - Romaine base with BBQ chicken, hard-boiled egg, bacon, avocado, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and red onion with their ranch sauce. It sounds like a Cobb Salad to me. I watched the young lady assemble the ingredients and toss it together then pour it into a cardboard bowl. $15.25 plus tax. Remember to grab a fork if you don't already have one at your desk. It was a bit too busy to eat in today and it was a bit too warm to sit outside.
