    My daughter & I wanted to go here for Mother's Day weekend. We went on Saturday, day before…read moreMother's Day. First time going here, it had popped up in my FB feed & looked pretty cool so I wanted to check it out. Right downtown Almont. Parked in the street which was bad idea for that weekend-alot of traffic with events going on. At least there's a crosswalk though since we were parked on opposite side of street. So cool inside once we got in! Very festive! Loved it. We wanted a real Mexican restaurant to support and this seems to be it. I wish I knew the servers name, she was awesome. They have happy hour on Saturday-so thankful for that! Want them to know how much that was appreciated. We were able to order a dessert to split because that saved some $$. I don't know if any restaurant off hand that carries happy hour over into the weekend. Our server was able to help us decide on which Marquita specials to try-lots of flavors. I have to say I got a spicy Mexican one & it was my favorite! She asked if I wanted the rim done & I said yes. Holy moly! SPICY! They had some food specials also so my daughter ordered from that as she wasn't as hungry as I was. I think it was 3 pulled pork tacos(?) I got with the refried beans. It was pouring rain that day so we didn't get to sit on the patio...definitely will be going back here many times. Can't say anything bad about our experience!

Comes with rice and beans, but I asked for lettuce & pico instead. Service is top notch too. Fried ice cream is the real deal!

    Had a crazy morning with power outage and snow squalls yesterday. Today, coming back from 2 of the…read more3 appts that I had to cancel I was sitting in front of St. Clair # trying to find out who had taco Tuesday. I'd only been here one time before, but I thought the food was excellent, & I knew they were pretty close, so I called. The sweetest young woman told me that they had $2 taco Tuesdays! Beef/chicken, soft/ hard shell. I was honestly so hungry, I took a bite of the middle 1 & that's why it's turned around, and doesn't look all that great. They were excellent. Those tacos were stuffed, I could only eat 1, brought the other 2, home. I didn't eat a whole lot of chips, either, but let's talk about the homemade salsa! Spicy perfection! You can purchase a lg ($8) or small ($4). I got the Lg one, and Pam the #NumeroUno waitress in the entire , was kind enough to put the salsa into 2 containers for me. I was really grateful for that because if I'd had just the lg container, my small household probly wouldn't hv finished it b4 it, expired(?). Pam was just a gem all the way around. Great spot, excellent service, kid friendly...you must visit.

    I was really excited to try Los Pinguinos because I've been hoping to find an authentic Mexican…read morerestaurant nearby. Unfortunately, it completely took away that little glimmer of hope I had. The service is honestly the best part -- the employees are super kind and welcoming, and they always treat you with respect. I really appreciate that about them. But everything else just misses the mark. The ambiance and decor look very cheap and thrown together -- it feels more like they raided a dollar store for decorations. It really needs a lot of work to match the quality you'd expect from a restaurant charging the prices they do. The food is okay -- not terrible, but definitely not great either. It's just average, which would be fine if it were priced fairly. But for what you're getting, it's way too expensive. To make matters worse, they've never gotten my order right, which gets frustrating after giving them multiple chances. Overall, I can't recommend Los Pinguinos. It feels like a waste of money, and I left more disappointed than anything. I wanted authentic flavor and a nice experience, but this just wasn't it.
