“This place is phenomenal. My husband has tried it at his work and couldn't stop talking about it. We went into the location tonight. They have a small, but nice seating area. The staff is beyond helpful and friendly. Anything you need or ask for, they are happy to get for you. The nachos are out of bounds. Their homemade queso is so delicious and everything they use is super fresh. My husband loves the California quesadilla with bacon, chicken and avocado. We tried the churros tonight, and couldn't stop eating them. I would highly recommend this place.“

“While enjoying my Elote tonight from my Togo order with Casa Amado, I had a thought! “Why is everything they do so magical”… and that’s my review. Everything is magical from Casa Amado. Don’t miss out on this authentically delicious taco joint. I hope my entire friends list sees this recommendation cause if you’re friends with me… you need to try this place!“

“Very nice Mexican food. Their food holds its own against the best Mexican restaurants in the metro Detroit area.
Had their steak burrito (which was ginormous and tasty), birria tacos (simply amazing, ask for more consommé if you have to, but dip generously for best flavors) and their quesadilla (ground beef was really flavorful). Their Mexican rice that came as a side were super flavorful also.
All in all, very nice Mexican food !

(Apologies for pictures that were taken as we started eating)“

“Some of the best tacos we have had in Metro Detroit. Way better than Condado's. I would highly recommend, but would be apprehensive so there was always a spot ready for me. The staff was just as equally amazing too. Thank you. 10/10 all day!!“

“maybe I just came at a bad time but there was one one person doing all of the waiting bussing cash taking and carry out. needless to say she was busy. the food was edible that's about it. salsa had no real flavor, that is if you can flag down the incredibly busy waitress to bring you some. anyways won't be back.“

“Amazing new spot in downtown Royal Oak. Tacos and guac were so good. More authentic than the other Mexican restaurants in town, and the vibe is more upscale and relaxing. Really friendly staff and quick service. Hidden gem! I hope more people discover and support this restaurant. Pretty close to the Lafayette street garage for parking.“

“The food was great here!“

“Great place to eat before a concert at Royal Oak Music Theater“

“The place before this was terrible but so glad they got new owners! The food is finally up to par and the restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Great drinks as well! The Bahama mama is excellent! Five stars is only for a place that really knocks my socks off, so four is good.“

This is my go to place and everything I’ve had here has been enjoyable and never let me down. Quality produce and meat, everything tastes fresh and well cooked.“

“Visited O.W.L. early today as it was the only dine in resturant open for breakfast.

The breakfast menu is small....and the food was hot, fresh, flavorful AND, delicious. We ordered bacon with egg and chorizo with egg breakfast sandwiches.

Sandwiches were generous, and prepared with care. Make sure to ask for eggs well done if you don't want runny egg yokes with your meal.

Offerings of fresh pineapple and watermelon juice are refreshing breakfast thirst quinchers if you're looking for a natural morning pick me up!

I also paid attention to the chef....she continuously put on fresh gloves when handling food and beverages.....this was very important to me.

The chef/server and staff are pleasant and very accommodating!

We will return, soon, to sample their taco options!

Try O.W.L. when time permits. You will not be disappointed!“

“Highly recommend! The food was delicious and the portions were also great! Service was very good and everyone was friendly.“

“Great place for lunch as it includes a drink for a reasonable price and service is quick as long as you beat the rush. Food is good and portion sizes are as well. The only thing that made me take a star away is the overall condition of the place. The front has an pergola that has been under construction since before COVID. It appears that the plans for it never materialized. The main entry door has been broken for the last year or more. They should really do something about it before someone hurts themselves with it.“

“Perfect experience! Pablo delivered on great, fresh food and fun! His team had us in stitches as they served and the food was raved about! We hired them for a graduation party at our house. The customer service and communication was exceptional. The price was not only fair, but for the serving sizes and quality, I thought it was a bargain. I wish I had more events to host just to bring him and his team back! Highly recommend!!“

“Fantastic service, great food!“

“The food and service was amazing! Our server Abby T was impeccable!!! It’s hard to find a great Mexican restaurant but Mr. Miguel’s is it!!!!“

“Voted one of the best places for tacos in metro Detroit.Great service, prices and flavor. The carnival grill located inside carnival market is a popular spot with the locals. The attendents at the counter were very friendly and helpful. There is a spot to eat inside or even at the patio. The bakery is great to pick up flan or sweet cakes to have after your great meal.“

“Hubby and I are originally from the West Coast, we moved to Michigan about 5 years ago, ever since then we’ve been on the search of an actual authentic Mexican restaurant, highly disappointed with “Mexican Town,” we’ve been sticking to Taco Trucks as we tend to find the food more appetizing than in Mexican restaurants. However, this place has become our go-to spot when we want to dine-in, in my personal opinion, it’s the most authentic restaurant we’ve found thus far. Flavor is there, the portions are generous, the dishes are what they are, they have that home-made essence to them; overall this place feels and tastes like home, highly recommended!“

“Can we Aesthetically pleasing? This place is so cute. We were seated immediately. We sat at the bar and Tiffany was our server, she made suggestions and they did not disappoint. Our drinks were equally as delicious. I ordered a steak burrito and my date ordered chicken nachos. I told Tiffany to do her thang on my drink and she did just that. Please stop in…. Tell them Cocoa The Cookin Nurse sent you. You are welcome in advance. Look at my reel on Instagram @T.a.s.t.e.b.u.d.s“

“I’m always hesitant to try new food trucks. It’s usually really hit or really miss.I was blown away by these tacos. The sides were good and I loved that they repped faygo for drinks but my tacos were truly explosive. Was hoping to go back the next day but then realized they were only open Sundays.“

“Stopped in for a nice lunch. Waitress was friendly and the service was good. Food was good as well.“

“It hit the spot! I wanted fancy street tacos and a patio. Nice thick chips and great guacamole for an added bonus.“

“Good food at a food truck isn’t too hard but really delicious food from a very clean food truck and service with a smile is something to talk about! I will look for the Nacho grill from now on!“

“El Fogon never fails to impress me. I've ordered many times and it's ALWAYS on point.“

“First time trying it and let me say I regret not trying it sooner. I was a bit hesitant but Chris was extremely helpful and made so many great recommendations. I had the quesadillas (chicken), chips and queso. The dessert was over the top. When I say I am not typically a big eater I tried some of everything. The best part the servings were ample enough I have left overs for a day or two. In addition to Chris the staff was welcoming and friendly. I will be back. Chris needs a raise for doing an amazing job!!“

“Always a great experience along with food. Owner is hands on. Highly recommend. Staff is friendly, fast, and always checking on customers.“

“Extremely large menu, almost too large. Family owned and portions are enormous. We had a large party and they accommodated us well, food came out fast. While the food wasn’t top notch, service was on point. Decor is a little dated, but plenty of parking and fast service trumped everything else.

For something that stays open a little later, not a bad spot. Just wouldn’t go back night after night.“

“The food was really good tonight and the drink will knock you off your feet but the heat was not working“

“My 45 th birthday party, we had six people and only 5 got food, we explained very well before ordering to the waitress that my husband was allergic to onions and we made sure the burritos had no onions per the waitress, so he got the beef burrito and his food came with ours and the waitress held out his plate stating that all dishes had onions in the recipes which is not true, we ate here before with no issue.To not argue and cause a scene he didn't eat and we went to get him food after. We had to call for service.with hands in the air for coffee, more chips, more water. There was only one waitress, but there were only 3 tables with customers. The food was good, but this place is so understaffed and the staff doesn't understand English well enough to accommodate special requests. I wouldn't come again unless I called for carry out an hour prior and make sure there are no special accomodations to your order. Mr. Miguel's on 11 and Ryan will be our always favorite place to go after this episode tonight.“
