We have used Mojave for several gatherings so I typically am happy Please double check orders before delivery 3 hours later still no phone call read more

So far drinks are like a slug. Waiting for 15 mins. Bar very slow. We'll see about the food when if we get it. Ok. So got the wrong drinks. Lol. Been here for 45 mins and still no tacos. This is not a 5 course meal. Have concerns it will be another 45 mins. Food still wasn't there. Left. Never again. Horribly slow with no concern for customer. read more

Excellent food, service and ambiance! The drinks were super yummy and everything came out hot and delicious. The chimichangas were my favorite. read more

Absolutely amazing food! Best birria tacos I have ever eaten. My super picky bf was raving too. Even the rice and beans were exceptional and taste homemade and super fresh. Will be coming here much more often. read more

The minute we walked in, we were immediately hit with the most awful urine smell. It got even worse as we sat down at the bar. We ended up cashing out our drinks and leaving because we couldn't imagine how unsanitary it would be to eat there. I think there's a major sewage problem they need to address read more

This place works! It is close to home, decent prices, they provide good service and the food hits the spot. It's probably a 3.5 but I'm going to round up! The service almost always is pretty solid. I've had a few things here and my favorite are their fajitas! Tonight I something tried something different and ordered the fiesta chicken and it had a good taste to it. I tend to judge Mexican restaurants based on their salsa, and theirs passes the test as it's flavorful and has a little kick to it! read more

My wife and I decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with some food from south of the border. We have wanted to try this place for awhile as it is always busy whenever we drive by it. The whole experience did not start off well. Since the restaurant was only doing curbside pickup we called to place our order. The hostess stated that they were super busy so another employee would call back to take our order. After 20 minutes my wife called back and they said they had called(didn't happen). The hostess stated that someone would call back this time. Someone did. They stated 20-25 minutes which turned into about 60 minutes. Before you think this is a bad review, the staff was super apologetic and actually included some margaritas on the house because of the trouble. It was Cinco de Mayo and they converted to 100% curbside so we figured we should cut them a break. The food was great! Any teetering feeling we had going into eating disappeared pretty quickly. We got the trio sampler, tex-mex tacos and the chicken/steak fajitas. Great portions! I would recommend all of them! My wife is super picky with her queso and Mojave passed the test! The seasoning that they use for the shredded chicken and ground beef is stellar! Like I said this experience didn't start great but kudos to the staff to make it better and really make us feel special on a great holiday with great food and margaritas! We will be back and I am glad we had Mojave for our Cinco de Mayo date! read more

We eat at Mojave all the time and usually have no issues. Today we had dinner take out and was charged an extra 6.50 for an extra taco when the menu said it included 3 tacos. On the phone when I called to ask about it she told me it only included 2 tacos but there was a different taco dinner that included 3. Instead of letting us know that she just charged us extra. My husband also asked for a side of sour cream when he picked up the order and we did not receive that either. Will not be returning. read more

The food and drinks are delicious and they have a great patio for comfortable outdoor seating. The service was quick and we loved everything we tried. Will definitely be going back! read more

Such a delicious spot and one of our favorites! The crunchy tex mex tacos are the best I've had and my boyfriend and I frequently come back when we can. We've sat at both patios, inside the main space and the bar space and have gotten great service and food all times. A must have! read more

We ordered the chicken fajitas and the taquitos carry out on Uber Eats. We didn't get the tortillas for the fajitas. The taquitos were GROSS. Covered in sour, crusty sauce which caused the taquitos to arrive soggy and gross. We luckily had some tortillas in the fridge so we were able to share the fajitas. read more

We ordered through Door Dash.3 burrito dinners . The burritos I ordered where all supposed to be steak with rice and beans. My husband was the one who noticed the issue. The meals not only didn't have the proper side items they had NO MEAT! we recived three dinners with all rice for the side and then in the burritos nothing but rice . I honestly thought it was a bad joke. So we where charged $17 a dinner x 3 and given about 3lbs of over cooked rice. What a horrible experience. I'm not sure if it was a disgruntled employee or what but this was not a mistake x3 . read more

Just got carry out last night from Mojave, everything was perfect. We ordered the steak and chicken fajitas and the shrimp fajitas as we are trying to go low carb. We had a great dinner with lots of leftovers which is very helpful when you are dieting LOL. Also a huge thumbs up for the bacon tomato guacamole. It was awesome! read more

It's not Mexican town level but it's a great choice if you don't feel like driving south 30 minutes! Really nice staff and the food was ready quickly on a weekend evening. read more

My wife and I have been here several times now and the food and service have consistently been good, even on really busy nights (one of them was even Halloween). Their drink menu is decent, they have a pretty broad selection of tequila and margaritas if that's your thing, and they even serve margaritas by the pitcher - we ordered one when we had friends out to dinner. I really like their burrito selection - the potato burrito has been great both times I've gotten it - and they're even large enough to take half home for another meal (it made for a good work lunch). They also have several vegetarian options that my wife has had - granted it's not a great stretch to do without meat at a Mexican place. read more

Fun place! I had their chicken quesadilla eat and classic mule to drink. Very good flavor and portion size. It was pretty busy on a Wednesday evening around 7 PM. I recommend checking this place out! trying a margarita next time! read more

Tortilla soup was delicious! So disappointed in the guacamole....it was not fresh, brown, and pretty sure it was day old guacamole as we picked up our order at 11:00 a.m. read more

Not sure why I saw so many mediocre reviews- must be their expectations were too high. My brother & I had dinner last night & enjoyed the entire experience. It was busy so a bit of a wait is to be expected but nothing out of the ordinary. I had the street tacos which had an outside crust of cooked cheese - so yummy. My brother enjoyed the fish tacos and he too was very happy with the flavor. Our waitress Lucy went out her way to look up where I could find a Clawson sweatshirt since I am visiting from California. My brother is looking forward to his next visit already! Thank you! read more

Great Mexican! So yummy! Be sure to get chips & Guc! They best food, great service!!!

Went with a friend for our once a month lunch. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was stellar! Thank you Crystal ! Your suggestions were spot on and even though you were busy you were perfectly attentive and fun! We will be back soon! read more

My co-workers took me here for lunch to celebrate my pending nuptials. The atmosphere was nice and friendly. One co-worker wanted a TV changed due to it being March Madness and the manager had no problem doing so. The restaurant let my co-workers decorate the tables with balloons and other goodies. Most everyone seemed to get the quesadillas, as did. The quesadilla came with rice and beans which were pretty good. The lunch specials were great, lot of food, and responsible price. My fiancé and I after we ate said we had to come back here for dinner. read more

Love this place. Always friendly staff, tasty food and easy picking, great for lunch or dinner.!

This was one of our favorite places to have dinner. It's been a while since we've been... now we will not return. Our waitress wasn't friendly. Our drinks, chips and salsa came after sitting there for 15 minutes. When we ordered, it took 45 minutes to get our food. The food was burned, our waitress asked "what we wanted her to do with it?" The manager didn't come to the table, he was nowhere to be found. To top it all off the the bathroom was disgusting, empty toilet paper rolls, over flowing trash and no soap. Just really disappointing. read more

The food was fine. Service was quirky. I ordered a beer with my meal and they were apparently out of my selection. Instead of asking what I wanted as a second option, the server brought me a beer I would never have ordered with the message that the bartender said I would like it. No, thank you. Then, after the server set our dessert on the table at the end of the meal, she said she hoped it was okay that they didn't have the chocolate covering advertised for the dessert. No, thank you. Again, why not ask the customer their preferences before assuming they'll settle for what you decide to serve them when you don't have what they asked for? read more

Really good food. Cocktails even better. Great for families or a date night. Servers are great, kitchen moves quick

We were able to sit outside and the service was excellent. Drinks were good too. My fajitas were cooked nicely... not overly oily. My only gripe were the chips. The seemed stale with no salt. They might be a healthy chip. I'm not sure. That being said, I'd highly recommend you try it out. read more

Food is always good but my wife and I ate there last night and when we were giving the bill it had a charge on it for requesting their hot salsa? We've been here a number of times and I never remember getting an up charge for hot salsa, very disappointing it just goes with every other restaurant/business up charging for everything. Just sad that businesses continue to raise prices and charge for everything while the quality and service has not changed with it. read more

Had lunch in there one day and an Anna Lee was my waitress. Best service I ever had. Her energy was out of this world! I would highly recommend her if you decide on eating there. But beware, her energy is highly contagious! read more

This is your above average Mexican joint with pretty good food. Service is pretty mediocre, but acceptable. 3.5 stars, but for quality drinks and consistently good food, hence the round up to 4 stars. Ambiance: clean open layout, with high tops along one wall. Not trendy, not dumpy, not creative, but more than ok. Service: much staff has been here a while. All more than just fine. None high end attentive trained servers. Lunch servers have regulars, so tend to be better. Food: mostly really good. Not like wow creative good, but a really solid well above average. Like a lot above average. Never had a bad meal. Everything properly seasoned and properly cooked. Not you typical TexMex slop. Salsa really good. Has great flavor, a bit of spice, and just really good. Some of the best locally. Soup not that good, but I respect they do soup. Drinks: the best. Seriously. No pre made mixes. Everything made from scratch. Fresh lime juice margaritas. Not the typical tequila mixed with super sweet sour mix. Will doctor margarita to suit your taste. Overall, I like this place. read more

delicioso. Andrea was our server, and she was wonderful. We will be coming back for the food for sure.

I wanted to give this 2 stars but the staff was too good. Food was mediocre. I ordered a shredded chicken wet buritto. The burrito was large and stuffed with tons of chicken rice and refried beans. However the 2 sides i received were also the same rice and beans.... so i basically was expected to eat a ton of rice and beans. No pico, no avacado slices... No corn or maybe other veggies... The tables outside were pretty dirty. Kinda sticky. The chips and salsa were great.. Very tasty. I also ordered 2 margaritas while eating. First one was the jalapeno one. Tasted great. Then i ordered the Caddilac, to which i was told was very strong because i didnt feel the first one had enough alcohol. It also was very weak. Usually after 2 margaritas, one feels a little warm and fuzzy... Ya know? Yep.. Nope... Nothing. For the price... I expected more. Probably won't go back. There are better mexican food joints around. read more

I've only been once, last week. Food was pretty good and service was excellent. Our youngest loves any Mexican food so we'll go back with him. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere, inside and out. Friendly, responsive staff. EZ carry-out. A good value.

They have good margaritas! They had a winter cranberry special margarita which was really good! Upgraded to the bacon guacamole- and it was very tasty. The bacon was crispy and a good addition- only downside was the bowl was kind of small but deep so kinda hard to get it all scooped out. Chips and salsa were also really good. Service was prompt while while we were there. Got fajitas- they have big portions! Could have split between 2 people. Comes with some beans, rice, and tortillas. Chicken/onions/peppers was really flavorful. read more

I want to love this place because it's close to the area I live in, but there is always something wrong. Whether the food I ordered is not correct, service is poor, or carry out is cold. 1 star because the chips and salsa are good and the restaurant is a good size. 3 strikes and your out (is my restaurant motto at least). read more

We arrived mid-afternoon today (Sunday afternoon). The restaurant was about half full. Another couple arrived just after us. As we stood waiting, 3-4 different employees walked right past us, a couple of them more than once. Two of them mumbled something unintelligible in passing, but none of them greeted us or indicated that they would be right with us, nor did they return or acknowledge us as they passed by subsequently. The other couple left after close to 5 minutes, and shortly thereafter we decided to leave, as well. There was also a Door Dash person who arrived shortly after us and was still waiting for her order when walked out. Nice atmosphere and can't comment on the food, but won't hurry back to try it after this experience. Very disappointing. read more

We just ate here at 3:00 in the afternoon I ordered a shredded beef enchilada no shredded beef in the house so I go to chicken it was terrible the sauce was so sweet I ordered a side of guacamole are you kidding me 8.50 my friend ordered the brillard tacos they were so greasy you couldn't eat them terrible food would never recommend this place read more

Nice little mainstream Mexican restaurant in Clawson to visit if you are in the area. I went to visit for a birthday dinner and the place was pretty packed on a Friday night. They have a pretty tiny parking lot on the side which is easy to miss as well. Most of the tables were taken away as to adhere to social distancing rules but tables were still pretty close together because of how small the establishment is. They have a small area for outdoor dining near the front but it was cold so we didn't have a choice. All the staff wore masks at all times during our stay and we didn't wait too long for our food. The drink menu is the best part, we got strawberry margaritas and the mojave sampler dish to share which were delicious. And for dessert, we got the fried dulce de leche ice cream to share which was the best way to end the night! read more

Don't sleep on this local joint! I got the "jumbo size" Michigan margarita (cherry) and it was soooo good! My boyfriend and I split the molcajete and chimichangas. The Molcajete didn't come in an actual molcajete bowl which in my opinion is half of the fun... however the food was delicious and generous portions (plenty of leftovers!) and service was great for a Friday night. Looks like they have a great patio and can't wait to come back in warmer weather read more

We were seated in the outdoor seating area and waited at least 15 with no acknowledgment from the wait staff. Servers past us several times to bring food and beverages to a table not 5 feet away from us with no acknowledgment. A sever cleaned off a table right next to us. No acknowledgment.We decided to leave when the table that had just been seated received water and their order was taken. We shouldn't have to flag anyone. Yes, we were dining while black. We went directly to Three Cats down the way. Great service, great food. Now I understand Mojave's poor 3 star rating. Never again. read more
