    a plate of mexican food
    John T.

    Great little Mexican restaurant. Up here on vacation in the area. Had a combo plate with wet burrito, chimichanga, and taco....sides we're refried beans and also rice. Very generous serving sizes, perfectly prepared and service was great. Highly recommended!

    Bland food chips and dip were the only redeeming thing. Just not impressed at all. Service was good however

I enjoyed the chimichanga the first time, but the best entree was the Rancheros tacos. They are three delicious deep-fried flour tacos served with beans and rice. I agree with other reviewers that the free chips and salsa are bland, but three hot sauces are available at the table if you want to spice it up. Don't forget the fried ice cream for dessert. Booth and flat-top seating in a quaint, Hispanic-themed restaurant with very decorative tables and music. Parties of 5 or more may have a wait, per the sign on the door. DoorDash and takeout. No credit card fee. Lunch and combo specials. Competitive pricing. The food comes out quickly with good service. Large strip mall parking lot. I have and will return.

We got there just before the lunch crowd but service was fast and the food was excellent. My mom and I both got the beef chimichanga lunch. It came with rice and beans and a guacamole salad on the side. The white queso sauce over the chimichanga was excellent. Everything was hot and fresh and lunch also comes with complementary chips and salsa. The chips were a little on the heavier side but surprisingly light and tasty. They make them in house our waitress told us. Prices were reasonable and we were in and out in 30 minutes and back on the road.

Upon entering you can quickly see the furnishing have been there a while so they are definitely dated. Lots of locals out for dinner. A real homey place. Server was fairly prompt and courteous. I ordered their restaurant named dish which came out in a timely manner. The issue was when I dug into the food. I'm normally pretty easy to make happy with food but this dinner stands out. The refried beans were plain and one step thicker than soup. The rice, the rice I can't put my finger on it but like the beans I refused to eat more than two forks worth. OK, the burrito will be good. Well, guess what, the meat (burger) tasted like there was no seasoning at all. OK, the chips were good and the dipping salsa was passable. Would I go back? No way. The staff was friendly and no pressure or hassle ordering or delivering the food but the food was just plain bad.

My kids talked me into here instead of Little Mexico because Mi Mezcal does have an extensive vegetarian menu. I'm sorry I did that. First they are pricier than Little Mexico. By about $3 to $5 per plate. But the really sore spot was the food: it was all one note and that note was SALT! There was VERY little resemblance to south of the border or Tex-Méx dishes. O ordered the combo special: chili rellenos, beef burrito, beef taco corn shell, beef tostada, and beef enchilada plus rice and beans. The batter on the chili rellenos was less eggy and more thin fish batter. The chili itself had no flavor. The red sauce? Taco Bell's red sauce is spicier! The ground beef was heavily salted with no discernible cumin or chili powder. Even the beans and rice were bland! By the time the food got home ALL THE CORN TORTILLA items were VERY soggy and no crisp to them at all! I've ordered from other Mexican restaurants in Mt. Pleasant and Cadillac and never had this issue! I would recommend saving a couple of bucks and heading to Little Mexico's locations for a better and more authentic Mexican experience!

Service was very friendly and prompt and food arrived at our table in very short order. Relative to the restaurant, it has a very colorful and bright Mexican decor that definately adds to the overall dining experience with quite a few TVs located strategically throughout the restaurant making this a nice game day venue which we definately enjoyed as we were able to watch March Madness games during our meal. Very enjoyable! My only gripe about this business was that their Margarita's on the rocks were not to my liking or standards. They had a green tint to them (not typical for traditional lime margarita) and tasted like they had a pre mix where they added Tequila to it, where they could have added a tad more Blanco tequila as well. This is a small gripe and not reflective of my rating as unfortunately most Margarita's you get in the US are of a watered down version where I always appreciate a good Margarita when I occasionally stumble across one. Overall we were quite pleased with our initial dining experience here. If you are in the greater Tawas area and looking for a good Mexican restaurant than this place should definately fit the bill.
