Cajon chicken tenders & chicken Caesar salad

Chicken tenders are the best with sweet potato fries and Cesar salad!! Don't get the cajon tenders tho, they are very salty.

We have been here many times and have always had great food. I especially love the steak quesadillas! The steak is tender and very filling. The baked potato soup is my favorite. In the summer we enjoy sitting outside on the patio and watch the boat traffic. Great place for hanging out with friends and having a good meal.

We are locals and we skip this place. Food tasted microwaved. Drinks are nothing special. We like the location but nothing else.

Los Pinguinos - Mojarra Frita

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.

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.

Dos Locos Burritos - Meat and Cheese Quesadilla

While we were waiting for our food (which only took a few minutes!), Alberto brought us drinks to try, went to each table that was eating to make sure they were enjoying everything, informed us about all the specials throughout the week, and answered any questions we had. He overheard us talking about the chicharron and threw one in our bag too so we could try! This is the best, most authentic Mexican I've had in all of Michigan! The inside is small, but very clean and welcoming. Even if you're not from the area, I would say it's worth the drive! I cannot recommend this place enough. Make sure to stop by and support them!

I noticed Dos Locos Burritos one day as I was driving down Chesterfield Road to Gratiot. I Googled…read moreit, and the menu looked really good. We ordered it for lunch at work one day, and we were all impressed by the authentic Mexican tacos, and the portion sizes, which were very generous. The homemade salsas were really good, too. That was my first experience. I told my family about it, and we placed an order on a Saturday afternoon. My son picked it up, and came back with a couple of free items; a few churros, which were absolutely delicious, and a guava Agua Fresca, which was one the the best tasting drinks I have ever had. The man who takes the orders and runs the register is very friendly and kind. We have ordered from Dos Locos Burritos four times now, and the food has been consistently good, and freshly prepared every time. The burritos are HUGE, and filled with delicious ingredients. All of the meats we have tried have been very tasty. We have ordered the Mexican style tacos, burritos (regular and Locos Style), chimis, quesadillas, horchata, Agua Fresca, and chips and salsa. Everything has been delicious. The interior is small with a few tables, but it's really clean and nicely kept. There is a stainless steel cooled serving unit with salsas in it to the left of the register in the front that has soufflé cups with lids that you can fill with salsa for your order. The prices are mid-range, but I don't mind spending $15.00 on a burrito when that burrito is huge, and filled with high-quality, freshly prepared ingredients. The amount of food you get is absolutely worth the price you pay. I highly recommend Dos Locos Burritos!

It's been a while, but true to form, the hash browns were crisp, the corned beef was generous AND deelish as usual; first time I've included eggs-they were poached to perfection ...add the gravy: next level gratification. Sophie was sweet, efficient and kept the coffee coming! I got the biggest kick out of the staff enjoying themselves while working: that's #KeepingItLocal. Not my usual food intake, but I so needed this. Thank you, #MCG!

We asked to be seated at a table or outside. We sat outside in the wind (my fault) but still nice. Joy took a while serving us but explained that she was seated few tables at the same time. We ordered drinks and a to go order of feta bread with added steak and company chowder. The chowder she so kindly let us sample while we waited for our order and finished up our drinks. The soup was the best chowder I've EVER had. So creamy smooth with lumps of clam (I think crab and more) Amazing!! Feta bread was delish but probably better ate inside not to go. Overall, I'll go back again for sure. Thank you Joy for being a delight and also having a Spanish coffee made for me too.
