Robot
Lynette R.

We stopped in for dinner craving tacos. The menu options are mouth watering. We decided on their soft corn tortilla tacos. We found a seat and when our food was ready we were surprised to be served by a robot. So very cool!!! I had the carnitas. The flavor was delicious. The balance of cilantro and onions were perfect. I tried the hottest of their hot sauce and it definitely had a kick to it but was very good. The place has enough seating for a decent amount of people and has a casual vibe to it. We will be back.

Quesadilla w rice & beans.

Super cute & clean fast food Mexican with friendly staff. Have wanted to try this place for a while, and both my husband and I were glad we did! He ordered the Torta combo with pastor, which came with a very flavorful consommé, and I had the quesadilla combo which came with rice and beans; both included a large soft drink. We ordered a small guacamole which came with salsa and was a generous portion for the price. And they have 3 additional salads that are delish. We'll definitely be back!!

This is a really good lunch place in the Troy area. There's plenty of seating indoors, and they have a great menu and make it easy to order with the touchscreen monitors up front. I ordered the red sauce tacos with the beans and rice sides and all of them were really good. I particularly loved the ground beef and birria tacos. The sauces are also very flavorful and enhance the tacos a lot.

Food truck stand in front of a brick and mortar restaurant, that's not open. Ordered two chicken tacos, 2 red chicken tacos and 2 chicken quesadillas for $30.68. The chicken quesadillas were tasty with the green verde and the hot red salsa, but skimpy on the cheese and chicken inside. The tacos were also rather skimpy with the chicken as well. The tacos were bland. The quesadillas tasted better. Prices are on the higher end for what you get.

I have been driving by and seeing the Taco Truck out front and couldn't wait to come and try the tacos. I came here for the first time around the beginning of March. I have to say I was impressed with the workers and how they made you feel welcome. I played it safe and ordered tacos and Beans and Rice. The food is outstanding, and the staff makes you feel right at home--good food, good people.

Pizza Birria

Food is authentic. Flavorful but a little too salty. Service is great and interior is very cool. The Mexican pizza is huge and tasteful. Normally, I don't like corn tortillas but they were pretty delicious. Steak tacos and nachos were Only issue was Recommend you try this place!

Horchata

As I walked in I noticed that The restaurant gave off a authentic vibe, and the staff was very friendly. I also appreciated real people working with tattoos, and genuine personalities. I asked the waiter what was his personal favorite dish, he quickly responded with the torta. I ended up ordering the burrito to go with steak & pork and I devoured every bite of it; yum . The staff accidentally prepared my dish for dine in, but quickly bagged up the food for me. I will visit again and bring friends.

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.

Ordered take out on a Tuesday at 4:30pm and it was ready in 15 minutes!…read more We got a California burrito (11/10 omg) rice (meh) pinto beans (meh) chips (meh) and horchata (11/10). $33.50. The rice, beans, and chips had 0 flavor. The California burrito and the horchata was to die for, so good! Pretty pricey for take out but I would go back!

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.

The food was good - the service from 2 separate servers was absolutely terrible…read more I ordered the Grande Fajita Burrito - Beans on the side. Food comes - I don't see beans on the plate. I ask the server if I could have the beans that come with my burrito - his reply - "Its only one scoop!" I was confused - and repeated my question - "May I have the beans that come with my burrito?" The server repeated - "Its only one scoop!" I thought there may have been a language barrier - but no - he understood what I was asking - and because it was only one scoop of beans - he was not going to bring the beans that came with my burrito; So, he repeated for a 4th time - "its only one scoop" - as if that qualified why I should be ok with not getting a part of the meal I paid for! What made the experience worse - my beans were not the only thing the server either forgot or just didn't want to bring to the table, But we wanted to order drinks, NOPE! - he didn't bring the Verde salsa, and when we a table of 5 asked for missing items - he showed in tone, facial expression, that he was irritated with our questions for the very things that came with our meals! The terrible service it what killed it for me! Just disappointing.

The restaurant itself has a relatively small foot print where the tables are close together and where there are no frills about this place and definately a tad on the rustic side. Facility aside, this place makes some excellent authentic Mexican street tacos where my El Pastor and Asada taco's were well made, PACKED with meat (no scrimping here) and oh so tasty. Service is quite quick where once seated you get your food within a few minutes making this an excellent spot if you are on the run and looking for a good meal on the quick. Prices are cheap in my opinion where my three taco's and a coke came to just $12. NICE! Two things to note here is that the chips and salsa are not gratis but come at an extra cost and follow up once you get food was non existent in my case. Chips and salsa was not a big deal to me but lack of follow up prevented this business from getting a fifth star. Overall and my minor gripes aside, if you are fan of really good Mexican street taco's than this is a must visit if you are in the area! I wish this business was closer to my home in West Bloomfield as I would be a regular here for sure!

Small interior with some seating, but I got my burrito to go. Staff was friendly and my food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. The tortilla was so greasy. Costco pizza x10. Seriously; I had to use some napkins on the tortilla because it was just soaked in grease. Not great. I got the steak. It was very good. Tender; no chewy bites and pretty good flavor. Good portions throughout the burrito. That was the highlight along with the guac. A chunky guac done well. It was fresh and just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, half my burrito was lacking in sour cream and cheese to the point I thought they forgot about it. The second half had better portions of those items, but more cheese would've benefited this. Finally, the fries were a joke. No seasoning and no crunch provided for a very unmemorable bite. A shame. Perhaps this was an off day. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. It was fine, but nowhere near what I was expecting. I might try this again, but need some time before I do that. Very good steak and guac. Everything else was lacking.
