This business makes some seriously good and authentic Mexican street taco's. My carne Asada…read more(Steak) and Al Pastor (pork) taco's were well made and ohhh sooo tasty. From the doubled up corn tortillas, to the tender well cooked meat, cilantro and their wonderful sautéed onions these Street style Taco's are as authentic as anything you would get in Mexico. The gratis house chips and Salsa were equally tasty and a nice complement to the Taco's all being washed down with a sugar cane based Mexican coke. The total bill came in at a very reasonable cost of $12 which is a great value in today's economy and a great deal by any standard. Relative to staff and facility, this appears to be a small family run business where the restaurant itself is located in a small strip mall at the corner of Franklin and Square Lake Rd with an equally small footprint for the restaurant. This is a very unpretentious business (think hole in a wall but in a nice way) with a limited number of dining tables and small staff. Having said that, I had no problem in getting seated and getting my order taken and food brought out in fairly quick order! I have been on a kick for a while now trying to find the best taco joint in the the northern Oakland county area and have to say this is as good as I have come across up to now and am a big fan of this business. If you are into well made authentic Mexican street taco's than this is a must visit for you. This was my first visit here and definately will not be my last where I will be combining this dining venue with my regular Bloomfield Hills Costco trips which is a Quarter mile from the restaurant.

They had music playing in Spanish, which I loved. They brought out homemade chips and salsa that was absolutely delicious. We ordered the chicken fajitas and the chicken flautas for dinner. After about 15 minutes, we got the sizzling plates. The food was so good! The rice was cooked to perfection, the beans were seasoned well and topped with cheese, all the toppings were cut up in a way to eat them easily. Overall, everything was fresh and tasty. It's our new favorite Mexican food spot. We can't wait to go back!

The salsa's are good and I love the salsa bar. So if your looking for Mexican food this place is good, you'll be satisfied. Also you have to hit the market, to me it's the main reason to come here. The meat is good. Veggies are fresh. The prices are also good. It's worth it.

They have an expansive menu of Mexican and American food, but no puffy tacos! I ordered the Chicken/steak fajitas. They came out sizzling, with about a 25-minute turnaround time from order to eating. The fajitas were very good, but I would have liked the chicken and steak cut smaller. High/low and booth seating. Uninspired atmosphere. Hostess stand/check-in is at the side entrance. Clean restrooms. Good service. 3% credit card fee. 18% automatic gratuity for tables of 6 or more if you put it on one bill. Pricey.

Their menu is quite expansive, offering plenty of options for every craving. The Birria Pizza Taco was impressive--large enough to feed 3-4 people, just like a standard pizza. It was perfect since I had a few friends coming over. The broth was incredibly flavorful, and they provided plenty of extra dipping sauces, which made the experience even better. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying their street corn, which sounds amazing. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you're in the area!

Excellent Mexican Street taco joint. For my first visit here I ordered two Asada (steak) street…read moretaco's that were very authentic and had only cilantro, both fresh cut and sautéed onions, fresh lime slice on the side, all on top of two fried corn tortillas. The meats was very tender & flavorful, veggies quite fresh and finished product very very tasty. As a cautionary note, the Salsa was probably a medium on the spicy scale and if you like your food mild you may want to ask for the mild salsa that comes with the chips. Other item of note here is the chips and salsa come gratis if you dine in where they were good but not quite at the level as the taco's which were over the top good! Relative to the restaurant and staff, the facility itself has a smallish footprint where there are just two tables and one very long counter with stools for indoor dining. My take of this is that much of the business is probably carryout. Staff was very friendly where you order your food at the counter and they bring it to you if you are dining in the restaurant. there was no table follow up at this point where it really operate as a quasi fast food joint which I was totally OK with, Overall really good food at a very reasonable price (2 steak taco's were $8) where the taco's are some of the best I have had in Metro Detroit. If you are a fan of good authentic Mexican food than this is a business not to be missed.

Unfortunately, that's where most of the solo star is weighted. Oh, that, and the chips and salsa (delivered in a mini carafe). I ordered the ribeye and chicken plate (El Toro). Ribeye was ordered RARE and it came out with zero pink or red. Zero. The leather chicken would have been great for long term survival in the cold wilderness. I also ordered a chicken taco à la carte that sort of falls apart - dry, haphazard and without character. Bar menu is okay, with hardly any top shelf selections. Server is nice and full of effort but lacks training. That's all.
