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.

The meat is good. Veggies are fresh. The prices are also good. It's worth it.

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!

After going on a Sunday walk with my husband, we got the case of…read morethe-need-to-eat-before-we-get-hangry. I quickly looked around for places open and found this place. We were slightly hesitant to try it when we arrived, as it's in a little strip mall in the same parking lot as a gas station. I'm always down for adventure, so we went on in. We were able to pick our own seats, and a server was at our table in a very short time. The menu has lots of options, both mexican and otherwise. I had a bean tostada and fried plantains. They were so delicious. My husband had three chicken tacos, and we split the chips and salsa. Portions and prices are both wonderful. The service was swift and happy to help with any questions. I will definitely eat here again. So glad we didn't judge this place before we even ate there.

Since the server never returned, I told the cooks what happened and walked out.

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.

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!

I was sort of hesitant about dining here, but the place is a okay. There's obviously limited parking and seating here, so FYI it's not good for groups. Maybe a party of 4, tops. I reviewed the menu and kind of scoped the place out when I was inside. There's a wall and door that separate the restaurant portion from the station itself, so that's good. Some of the tables were dirty and looked like they were in need of being cleared, so it made a tight situation even tighter because it meant I had to sit right smack dab in the middle since there was only 2 other places to sit. My server was nice and answered a lot of my questions. The menu's decent but it's mostly dinner entree's here. I went with the 2 tacos that came with rice and beans since I was kind of hungry. Sadly, they don't have barbacoa, just ground beef and steak, in regards to meat selection for tacos. There's also pork and chicken, but since I don't eat pork and didn't feel like chicken, that kind of narrowed down my options to what i was going to get. As for drinks, they also don't have any fountain pop here at all, nor do they serve glasses of water. You have to purchase bottled water or no water at all. I think it's a $1 a bottle. They have can's of coke and some Mexican pop, and that's kind of it. I docked a star for the limited drink options because it was kind of a bummer. Plus, since seating was limited and the place wasn't packed, the tables could have been cleared sooner than later. As for the food, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I mean, it wasn't life changing but definitely good and the beans were awesome. The rice was good, and I mixed it with the beans, so that was tasty. Tacos were very yummy and over all, it was worth visiting here. Regardless of the tables that needed to be cleared, I wish they would at least have glasses (or Styrofoam cups) where you could at least get refillable ice water or something. Maybe they don't have the space, I'm not sure, but that's kind of a thing for me. Overall, a decent quick lunch spot or place to carry out from.
