Been a couple decades since last visit, shame on me. Arrived perfect time great Happy Hour Specials . Started with the Queso Fundio be Hot Bubbling Cheese and Chorizo Yummy . The Steak Asada Fries marvelous a must try. A Ceviche Tostada outstanding Delicious . Those all Happy Hour Specials on the cheap. See menu in photo, for the full happy hour menu. Ordered the most unique Tortilla Soup, totally blown away. See plate of goodies to add Wowed. Shout out to a amazing waiter Horhey for the five star service, he absolutely rock's. Then across the street to our favorite Mexican Bakery La Gloria, been a customer 60 years. #losgalanesdetroit @losgalanesdetroit #ceviche #tortillasoup #happyhour #mexicanresturant

Botana galan

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Little patio with some seats and then couple different dining areas. Started with chips and guac. Very big portion on chips and the guac was large as well. The chips were fine. Could have used some more salt (most places don't salt them enough), but they were fresh so that was good. The guac was solid. Nothing noteworthy, but I liked it. As for the burrito, it was very good. Nice portion and the asada was very tender and flavorful. Never know with that. The fries were crispy as well which is always a worry. I had some of the salsa it came with which really elevated the burrito. If you're in the area, stop by. Would return.

We sat outside and the weather was great for it. We ordered the guacamole with totopos, enchiladas, arroz, papas bravas, aguachile verde, and pescado. Everything was seasoned well, especially the aguachile. The shrimp was cooked with the citrus very well and we liked the heat to it. The duck enchiladas have great flavor and the sauce cuts through the fattiness very well. The arroz was nice and soft and complimented the enchiladas well. My dates said the papas were cooked and mixed well. Finally, the star of the courses was the pescado. It was grilled to perfection and the salad goes well with it along with the lime. Now, the tortillas were next level and so so soft. Putting everything on the tortillas made it so much better because of the texture from them. The salsa they put on each side of the pescado each had their own notes, but I think roja was the table favorite. What I loved most is that everything was carefully seasoned and I didn't need to salt anything or need extra salsa. Since we did get to wait a bit for the table, we got to watch the kitchen while standing next to the ofrenda. The chefs all were working as a team and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the dishes they put out. Dessert was probably one of the prettiest tres leches I've ever seen. The coconut came through but didn't overpower anything. The ratio of the milk to cake was great and also there was a hint of something else I couldn't put my finger on. I hope the next time we're in Detroit that we can come back.

You order at the food truck, and they have an indoor seating area with tables if you want to eat on-site. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The food here is amazing. The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and at $2.50 each, they're an unbeatable deal. But the real star for me was the burrito--this thing had to weigh at least a pound! It wasn't just massive; it was packed with huge flavor. I went with al pastor for my protein, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The salsas are also delicious which is always a plus. I hope more people discover this gem because the food truly speaks for itself. If you haven't tried Taqueria El Rincon Tapatio yet, do yourself a favor and get there ASAP. Highly recommend! Check out my Instagram for more @hangry_detroiter
