Lexi is great. Love this place, service is always good and the employees are always friendly. Can’t go wrong with free chips and salsa while you wait for your food.

Quality of food. Life long member of the owners from Adrian Michigan. I don’t understand when I read comments as for “not authentic Mexican ingredients”. Does the sign not say “Tex-Mex”? In Adrian Michigan we have a large migrant population that prefers other Mexican restaurants over the grasshopper. Huge reason is that the taste buds of visiting Mexicans are used to hot, very hot. As I live here in Mexico I cannot sample any hot sauce because it’s too hot. So I bring my own hot sauce with me when I eat out. I don’t consider the menu as Tex Mex. The family founders brought recipes from Mexico but again, had to tone down the spicy seasoning for the northerners. HOWEVER, if you ask for the extra hot seasoning, they will make you a dishes that will set your mouth on fire upon request. I can’t explain the next topic, but that no one has complained but their menu prices that seem to never increase. As for the cheese dipping sauce? I haven’t been to the Sarasota location. But it’s a wise-tail in Adrian that the cook staff has to sign NDA’s just to know the recipe. Everyone has tried to replicate it but no one has ever gotten it correct. Linda/co-owner has been a lifelong full-time employee that worked every day beside her now ex husband that runs and operates the original Adrian Michigan establishment where his parents created the restaurant. She only hires the best staff and the staff are lifelong dedicated employees. In Adrian, no one visits for the decorations or environment because it’s nothing close to impressive, they visit for the food and service and the staff that brings you refills before knowing that you need one.

Eva our server was great!! This place is amazing for a quick texmex meal. Service, food, ambiance, PRICE 10/10 and the margs are also a great plus ? always a solid go-to local spot.

Absolutely amazing!! I got the taco plate, and all the food has so much flavor and spice. I love it. This is absolutely my favorite Mexican Restaurant.
Our waitress Fernanda was so nice and offered us excellent service. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a nice sit down restaurant with delicious food.

P.S. I’m 16 and very picky. Amazing food!!!

We have driven by this place a few times but when we stopped at a store nearby and smelled the delightful aromas coming from the Grasshopper, we had to stop for lunch. We were not disappointed. Food was tasty and in just the right portions. Atmosphere was fun and the service was exceptional.
