    Hello delicious Mexican food in west Oakland county!!! I was so excited this place is open because it's been difficult finding Mexican food that's really good out here for me. Stopped here last night for a carry out and this is a regular spot now. I ordered a taco dinner and the meats were very good. I had asada (steak), pollo (grilled chicken), carnitas (shredded pork). The grilled chicken was my favorite! All was good, but the chicken was flavored so well! I'm very picky about my rice and the rice was really good on flavor. I didn't dislike anything if I'm being honest. Pricing isn't too bad. It seems higher than a lot, but it's not for the area to be honest. I think they are a bit cheaper than other places. And portions are pretty good amount. Definitely support this business and happy taco eating!

    Rancho Tapation makes some of the best authentic Mexican street taco's I have had in the Metro Detroit area. My Steak and El Pastor street taco's on corn tortilla's were very well made with tender meat, fresh cilantro and onions sautéed to perfection. So so tasty. Gratis house made chips and Salsa were excellent where I had a difficult time to stop eating them as they were so darn good! (: Facility is clean, bright with a casual vibe to it but missing the bright Mexican decor that many of the restaurants in the area have which to be honest does add a nice touch to dining experience but obviously pales in importance to the quality of the food which this restaurant excels at. Staff is prompt and quite friendly with good follow up throughout the meal where the cook/chef actually checked in on me asking how my food was. Nice! Overall if you are a fan of good Mexican food and in particular authentic Street taco's than this business will not disappoint. even though this was my first visit here it definitely will not be my last.

    The Al pastor was great! I order this at every Mexican restaurant - I loved that they have pineapple in theirs. The chorizo was good but different flavor, the Birria was juicy- not super favorable but still good. I did not get any consume. The beans were okay - wasn't in love with them. The restaurant is immaculate. I like the aesthetics of the wood and the plants. The service was great but I was the only one in the restaurant at the time. However the cook - possibly owner came out to my table a to bring the food and got me more salsa - he was really nice. I'll come back here for sure. Oh! I loved that the corn tortillas were not dry ( sort of moist but not soggy) and had good flavor - they were probably the best I've ever had - usually I think they are dry and I don't eat them

    Stopped in here for lunch. Location is clean and staff is friendly. They have a huge menu! Queso and salsa were great with fresh chips. The food came out promptly steaming hot. Overall great experience and I'd be back. Prices are super reasonable.

    It's at a shopping plaza. There's a market next to it…read more Ordered 3 chicken taquitos, 1 chicken tostado, 1 chicken quesadilla app, guacamole, chicken fajitas with bean salad, a side of refried beans. $57.36 They absolutely don't accept Amex cards at all. Unbelievable, beyond disappointing. The corn chips are quite greasy, but crunchy. The guacamole isn't too bad. We asked for jalapeños to add to it, we got pickled jalapeños. I would have thought they would have loads of fresh jalapeños, given the type of cuisine here. The pickled jalapeño gives the guacamole a very different taste to it. Cheese everywhere. Ugh. All over the taquitos and the chicken tostada too. The chicken in the taquitos are hard as jerky. The rest of the chicken in the taquito is super dry. The bean salad is so-so, has overcooked peas in it, corn, bland beans, red pepper, tomatoes. The chicken fajita is okay, a tad dry, there's some tomatillo or salsa verde in the grilled chicken with the red pepper, green peppers and onions. The small pico that comes with the fajita has good heat, from the fresh jalapeños. The quesadillas have a ton of cheese, not a lot of chicken inside, looks like an after thought. Service was ok. Food was subpar. Nothing notable.

    We stopped today for a late lunch. The chips and salsa came out. The salsa had a fish flavor…read more My margarita tasted like the cheap bottle in stores. I chose the flautos with ground beef.

    Totally unimpressed by this place. I never see myself returning here for tacos, however they have a…read moremeat market in the store where you can buy fresh meats and bulk salsa, guac, chips etc that is pretty cool! I got the chicken tacos and 8oz side of rice and beans. Their menu read confusing, as they didn't have prices on the different meats, and tacos ranged from $2.99-$3.99 so I wasn't even sure how much my tacos would come to. I also thought it was 8oz combined of rice & beans for like $2.99 but I believe it rang up as individual 8oz containers. My total for the plate (3 tacos) & sides came to ~$16 without a tip or drink. The chicken tacos were SO bland. I tried adding more lime, the grilled onions, radishes, both the red and green salsas, and even rice and beans but nothing could rescue the flat flavor of nothingness every time I bit into my tacos. My red salsa that came with my plate was genuinely lame, it had hints of Tabasco sauce? Like they were trying to make it so spicy without any actual depth or flavor. I expected more from this place. I did try my friends steak from his taco and it was a bit more flavorful, so perhaps I got the wrong meat. Their employees were very nice and service wasn't too long, restaurant clean but limited seating! I would only return here to try the California burrito. I can find similar prices and great quality elsewhere.

    Great place to grab some authentic Mexican food. Not much of a sitting place more of a carry out…read moreplace. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean inside with cool decor on the walls. Also it has a small meat, cheese section inside where you can buy marinated meats for your table. Ordered 3 different california burritos Al Pastor, Steak, Chicken. Portions are big and not expensive. Chicken was favorite. Definitely will be coming back to try more staff.

    I do not know why it took us so long to discover this place. We always compare new Mexican…read morerestaurants to our favorites, and most never compare, but this place was so stinking delicious. I am sorry I did not visit sooner. I believe it is more recent, within the last or so, and that it was a different restaurant before. The chips were exactly the way I like them, hot, salty, and crispy. The salsa was good too. We had a few drinks. Modelo Negra, which is smooth and drinkable. I had the Blue Cactus margarita, I highly recommend, and their version of the Stoli Doli, which was very nice. We had a combo plate and a giant chimi. The giant chimi is what I typically get at my favorite place, and this establishment did such a great job, I no longer have to drive out far to get it. It has both chicken and beef, and I love the pickled vegetables on top. I really want to try more drinks and some their desserts and maybe bring the kids next time, they would love it.

    Kirsten is waiting on us…read more The chips are hot, not too bad, some are a tad over fried and they are rather greasy too. Salsa is mild. No house hot salsa at all. Their hot salsa is a bottle of Cholula. :( The Guacamole is expensive, $12, probably not made to order either. Kirsten confirmed the guacamole is not fresh and is premade, can not be made spicy at all. She suggested adding Cholula, again. I asked if they don't have jalapeño at all, she said yes. We ordered an overpriced small guacamole for $12 and a chicken fajita for two with corn tortillas for $32, also expensive! $46.59 This is likely one of the more expensive Mexican restaurants we have been to in a long while and it's not even a gourmet or fusion either. Prices are closer to NYC or LA prices. Crazy prices here for what you get. Then again their rent is likely sky high since it's a Jonna building. Their salsa ramekin is so small, we usually run out of chips before we run out of salsa at most Mexican restaurants. Let's see how the rest of the food goes, not impressed so far and can't see this place lasting at their prices for another year or so. It's not that busy here either, maybe 4-5 customers early this afternoon. No more chips or salsa refill, we had to ask for more salsa and then more chips too later. Our waitress isn't attentive at all. The premade guacamole didn't come out until our fajita was out, that's not a good order for food items out, especially given the guacamole is premade. Service is not first priority for sure here. Have to ask for things for stuff and attention. Don't recommend their corn tortillas? They don't heat them up, so they disintegrate and fall apart. The flour is the better option for the fajitas. The rice and beans are just filler, not so good. The pico looks to be premade as well and not so fresh. The guacamole wasn't bad, they kicked it up with Serrano peppers. The chicken fajita was decent. More peppers would have been nice, a lot of onions.

I was…read moreactually out in Livonia, heading to a diferent Mexican place, but when I got there, it not only looked closed, but it looked like it was mostly a carry-out place. So, I decided to drive all the way out here because I have learned that trying to satisfy a craving with something different than what I really want doesn't work. It was an odd time -- about 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon -- when I arrived. The place is small, but it is very cheerfully decorated. The server was very friendly and helpful. He brought a basket of homemade chips and salsa as I sat down. After looking at all the options, I decided to be boring and I got the taco salad. It was very good, but as I was eating, I remembered seeing fried ice cream on their menu. I asked if they had it & he said absolutely. So, I stopped eating my entree & took it (and the chips) home and had the fried ice cream. It was SOOO worth it. they really did lightly batter the ice cream and fry it. (Unlike many place that don't actually do that.) It was served in a slightly sweet, lightly cinnamoned tortilla and topped with some chocolate sauce, whipped cream and maraschino cherries. If I lived closer & it hadn't been so hot outside, I may have ordered another one to take home!

    Great little place, salsa is plentiful without extra charge like some places…read more Lunch options are very reasonable. Service is prompt and friendly. Lots of interesting soup options.
