Beautiful restaurant in Mexicantown with friendly service. The menu has a nice variety of everything you might like, for me it was the selections of seafood dishes available. We had the combo plate and the parillada de mariscos, as well as the spicy guacamole. The spicy guacamole is made with habaneros, by the way, so caution if you think you like spicy but are not ready for the heat! My only disappointment was that I was looking forward to grilled seafood (hence the parillada), but the seafood came sautéed instead, leaving the calamari rings a bit softer than I like them, but the lemon butter sauce was delicious. read more

This is a go-to place for my family and I. Best Mexican in town. Try their enchiladas

Decent spot! Prices are very reasonable. Drinks were ok. My colleague ended up sending hers back. Several of us ordered a Miami vice and it was tasty. Portion sizes and prices are good. Service was friendly. Bathroom was a little strange to me. I would recommend for the prices and friendly service. read more

Not impressed. Food lacks so much flavor, even the sauce was flavorless. Drinks were okay, pretty classic. Service was good. On the day I went, 18% gratuity added for any size party, that was a little bit much but ‍. Needless to say, I will not be back. I like my Mexican food spicy and flavorful. Wish I had of read reviews before going. read more

It was hard to choose which Mexican restaurant to eat at in the "little Mexico" area of Detroit. We picked Los Galanes because of their patio. The patio offered plentiful seating but the chairs were just cheap plastic and not the most comfortable. The service was polite and attentive but slow at times. We did visit during lunch time on a Friday so we expected delays. The foot traffic was pretty consistent and the salsa served at the table was flavorful with the right amount of spice, so we were hopeful that the food would be good as well. We ordered the enchiladas mole and botana. The mole was pretty decent, not too thick and was adequately seasoned but there wasn't nearly enough on the dish. The beans and rice were not to par with the mole, so those were left on the plate. The botana was beautiful but the flavor was lacking. There was no chorizo in the dish as described and there was just no flavor to be found. The dish was fixed by adding sour cream and lots of salsa. I'm not opposed to stopping in the area again but will look for other food options next time. read more

Cute spot; service was good food was not as good as I had hoped for. There are wayyy more decent spots in southwest Detroit for authentic Mexican food. This place miss the mark. Raised in Southwest Detroit! I will definitely not be back. read more

It is Cinco de Mayo and we are hammered. We are currently still in the restaurant, and the service has been wonderful. Everyone here is very sweet, but it's very busy so the attentiveness we would get on a normal night is a little bit lower than what we would typically expect. However, they were very quick with seating us, and even offered drinks in the line at the door, which is what an enticed us in the first place to come in. The drinks were Strong (ARE strong) but the food from start to finish has been less than what we were anticipating. to start, we got chips and queso. Of course this came with salsa, that was sweeter rather than spicy. Best part of the evening. The queso, was simply melted cheddar, which was disappointing because it was almost $13. I ordered the chicken flautas - they were good enough to finish, but nothing to brag about back home. The rice was flavorless, but the beans were great! (Its hard to mess up beans). Generally, the ambiance was good! Super quiet in comparison to the other bars popping off. But other than a strong pour, we have no reason to return. xav's Corner: Super drunk off the margs but the steak was mid, and they couldve put more on the 25$ steak ranchero, (was not worth it). The line was short for a reason. The pitcher did its job but tasted just alright. read more

Went here based on reviews, I'd consider this Tex-mex not authentic Mexican. I got the lunch special with two tacos (steak and al pastor), rice and beans. The al pastor taco along with the complimentary chips and salsa were ok. The other food items had no flavor. My friend got caldo de pollo. She said there wasn't much flavor to her food either. Our server was alright, took a while to initially check on us and same when we wanted to get the bill. The style looks like a typical "Mexican restaurant" and wasn't too loud till a table of 12 was seated by us. read more

Amazing food, amazing vibes. Place is pretty big so they were able to seat our table of 10 quickly even without reservations. I had a margarita and a quesadilla and they were both perfect! read more

Cool, relaxed ambiance and fun decor. Very spacious inside. Lots of seating and the tables are spaced out nicely. I felt like we had a lot of privacy. Clean bathrooms. Excellent service. Brian was very attentive and kind to my table. I enjoyed my cheese enchilada suizas. The green salsa was very good. I also enjoyed the red salsa that came with our homemade tortilla chips. Nice kick and flavor! The panchitos were a great appetizer. The house margarita was done well and I enjoyed my Havana rum drink. They have their own free parking lot, which is a nice perk. Fun place! read more

This feels so suburban. I wanted Mexican food. My husband got to pick which spot. We've never been here, so despite the lower Yelp ratings, I thought, why not? My parents loved what we brought them. My husband and I thought our picks were tastyish enough. Love from us, though? Eh. It was alright. Not terribly cheap. Gosh, I miss the old days when you got a bargain and much tastier food as a reward for hauling your ass into the city. Not anymore. It wasn't outrageously priced, but it wasn't any cheaper from outlying areas either. The dining experience could have been had in Canton or Northville or anywhere. There was nothing special. Nothing that wowed. No must-have dishes on the menu. It was just your ok run of the mill Mexican joint. Which is fine. Just not in Mexicantown. read more

We chose this place because I read the good reviews prior. It was fairly empty inside which surprised me for dinner time on a Thursday. Our waitress was kind and we ordered delicious margaritas while we waited for our other friends to show up. Everyone loved their choices. I had the beef chimichanga. It was ok, sort of bland but tolerable. Large portions so we all had boxes to go. I'm glad we tried this place but I'd definitely try somewhere new next time we're in the area. read more

Service was fine food not so much. Had not had Mexican in a while. We were downtown and tacos sounded good. Ordered the 2 beef and one chicken. On the taco scale they were not good at all and the beans looked like had been sitting out a long time. I ate one and half another and did not want anymore. My wife ordered a burrito, and it was a little bland and just OK..beans looked the same. Margaritas were good though. read more

First off we got right in on a Sunday , stopped in for a quick bite to eat after walking around Mexican Town . Got the small botana for lunch and split with my wife . Was tasty and full , peppers , olives, beans , avocado and onion ....the chips and salsa fresh as can be definitely my favorite place in Mexican Town read more

The server was great. Very fast and efficient. There's 14 of us and they were able to seat us although we're still missing some people. Not too happy with my Ribeye steak ranchero. For the price I was disappointed. Ribeye was thin, and has hard fatty part. Rice was bland. It was my birthday dinner with my children. Inspite of my order, we had a great time . I will be back to try the Fajitas. read more

I wouldn't call this "authentic" Mexican, more like Mexican for a Midwest palette. I ordered a vegetable fajita expecting peppers and onions, and instead got a strange assortment of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, and the smallest bit of onion and peppers imaginable. I was flabbergasted. The vegetables weren't well seasoned either. I literally couldn't eat it. The service and atmosphere were good enough. I didn't have any issues there. read more

Los Galanes - Vegetable fajita without much pepper or onion - Mexican Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Stopped in today for some authentic Mexican food and was honestly disappointed. The decor is nice but restaurant smells like rusty pipes. The server was okay seemed alittle annoyed at beginning but lightened up by end. The food lacked flavor. Steak tasted like it was marinated in beer and threw on grill with no seasonings. Only good thing was the refried beans. Unfortunately won't be returning here unless they make some much needed improvements. read more

Service was excellent. Food? Not so much. The beef part of the fajitas was very tough. The guacamole was good, not too much taste though. The queso was good. The combination was party good. Steak enchilada was chewy again. The tostada and taco good. Finally the fried ice cream was really disappointing. The outside was very chewy!! Never had that before. I think if I went again , and will because I love the atmosphere and service, I will focus on the chicken and ground beef things. read more

We came as a group of 4 on an adventurous night out. The reception and waiting experience is off-putting, as they make you stand outside in a tent with very minimal heat and absolutely no beverage service available, not even order in the bar and carry out plastic cups. TERRIBLE!! To the owner--you need to allow drinks outside in the tent! Once seated, things improved. We got and enjoyed margaritas of various types. The chips and salsa are outstanding--realy noteworthy salsa! Then I had chili--a nice, big bowl for $4.00--one of the best food values of the year. And then we all had typical Mexican fare--burritoes, tacos, chimichangas, tamales, etc. All good. If you are in the area, definitely worth a visit. Would I make it a point to drive there from Birmingham again? Maybe. read more

Ordered the shrimp fajita taco salad. Very large, thick, raw vegetables. The shrimp was thawed, but didn't bother cook or season it. The only topping was a dollop of sour cream. There wasn't a gram of any salt, pepper, or seasoning or any kind nor any dressing. I don't think I've ever encountered a dish this bland, top ten worst restaurants I've tried. read more

Pretty gross overall. Place was pretty dirty and food was bland and generally nasty. This is a bottom of the barrel Mexican restaurant. Still looking for a good one in Mexicantown! read more

Los Galanes is one of the better Mexican restaurants in Southwest Detroit. Been here plenty of times and never had a bad experience or meal. People always seem to enjoy themselves, as the restaurant has a festive character to it. Service is sufficient and the food is quality, too. Pricing is slightly higher than the competition on Bagley, but I personally prefer it over Mexicantown, Mexican Village, and Xochimilco. read more

Well, that was outstanding. I had a wet burrito which was delicious. Grandson plowed through his street tacos and Mama loved her chimichangas. Now, she has a preference for chimichangas and said this was second to that, I had (past tense) a favorite for a wet burrito (same restaurant) but I felt this surpassed this. One thing we both agreed on was how incredibly clean the restaurant is, even the window sills are clean as can be and when people leave a table sweeping in part of the table clean up. Very impressive. I did not go five stars because our server was a bit on the slow side but regardless we will be back-I just wish Mexicantown (a Detroit gem) was closer than 60 miles from home. read more

A good place for authentic Mexican food! They start with chips and salsa, their chips are the perfect amount of crispy and they're not too salty like a few other places I've eaten at. The menu is vast and you are surely spoilt for options, I got the tacos and the Al Pastor taco was delicious. My friend got the chicken enchiladas and he really enjoyed these too!! We sat out on the patio and the vibe is casual and fun. We didn't try the margs but they looked great too. It's definitely busy, but the service was good for how busy it was. Would go again :) read more

We went here last weekend and really enjoyed ourselves. Me and my husband both had a delicious frozen cocktail. My husband had a shrimp and octopus appetizer and he said it was delicious. I got tacos and would highly recommend the shrimp tacos. Wasn't a fan of the fish tacos. My husband enjoyed his meal, skirt steak. The waiter was attentive and the place was busy. They really got us in and out so if you are looking for a leisurely, long dinner, I would choose somewhere else. But it was perfect for a quick, delicious dinner. For the two of us, we paid under $80 including tip. read more

Not bad, food was average for that area but their dinner menu was overpriced. Better deals for basically the same food elsewhere.

Food entree was good, when served correctly. Order was mixed up, some didn't get right order; others didn't get their order when everyone else did. Margaritas were a 5 at best. Tasted watered down. Expected better margaritas from a Mexican restaurant. Have always frequented restaurant in the past, don't know I'd return or recommend again. read more

Food was bland. Asked for ground beef and they just chopped up the shredded beef and put it in the burrito. The wet burrito was not wet at all they covered it in a mozzarella cheese and burnt the flour tortilla. The queso was so thick and had no flavor. Also drinks were empty for 5-10 minutes and had to ask for more. Waitress was more worried about clearing the plates on the table. read more

Celebrated Cinco De Mayo at this lovely restaurant. Walked into a beautiful brick building that was decorated nicely to respect the Mexican culture. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. The house margarita was tasty and the food was both flavorful and tender. The complementary chips and salsa will have you full before your entree. The salsa was light with a nice bite to it. A great authentic Mexican restaurant. read more
