Dined on a Friday night, and had Pablo as our server. He did a great job. Food was awesome. Atmosphere was welcoming, and rest of staff was great too

I have been going here for a number of years. Authentic Mexican food, not a franchise chain. My favorite is the chicken hard shell tacos, tortilla soup, guacamole, Mexican salad, Botany, and Cadillac Margarita . We typically sit at the bar. I returned October 24th and had the TexMex Tacos with crispy corn shell, 2 shredded chicken, and 1 ground beef. My order was very good, hot, and good attentive service.
I just had my son‘s baby shower here on October 13. The staff that we had was so sweet and over exceeded all of my expectations before, during and after our event

I wanted to give Mojave Cantina 3 stars, but I could not justify that rating.
I'll start with the customer service. I expect a good mexican restaurant to feel welcoming, like going home to family I haven't seen in a few years. Instead, I walked between a crowd of hosts and/or servers without a simple hello. Which was fine as I was heading to the bar. The bar where I sat for about 5 minutes while every passing employee looked at me without saying a word before the bartender finally emerged to let me know he would be a few minutes. I am typically patient, but when he proceeded to make the mixed drinks orders that had begun to pile up, his inexperience in tending bar was evident. He had a dry and somewhat timid personality and didn't so much as ask how my day was going. I'll say he was professionally polite, but that was the extent of what he offered as far as service. He did know how to pour a beer.
I was there for the food anyway, best in Michigan 4yrs straight! I'm not sure how that happened. I ordered a steak burrito with the cilantro lime rice and beans. The beans and rice met expectations and would get an easy 4 stars. The burrito was approximately 60% rice, which I already had on my plate. The potatoes had a pleasant crisp, but the meat lacked any mexican flavor. I couldn't begin to even detect the guacamole or pico de gallo. I got about halfway through when I discovered a long hair in the burrito. Honestly, I didn't want to deal with sending it back and pulled it right out. I would just expect hairnets in the kitchen to prevent this. They may use them, or they may not. All I know is what I got. It was impressively almost the full length of the burrito. I opened it up and picked around the now soggy bottom of the burrito with my fork. The tortilla wasn't quite authentic and itself lacked the flavor of a nice warm authentic homemade tortilla. All in all, it was just okay, and I'd rather find the closest Chipotle (2.5/5 stars, 3 depending on locaton) than eat here again. Just my personal opinion having spent most of my life in AZ not far from the Mexico border for about 20 years.
The atmosphere was okay, I didn't care too much about it, but the music was too quiet to enjoy. For the amount of business observed during my visit, the over-staffed restaurant just didn't feel comfortable. Bored servers were huddled to the side, just waiting for a table. Decor is good, but not on my list of what I'm looking for.
If you like the bland side of Tex-Mex you might be okay with this location, but I wouldn't call it authentic mexican. If you are accustomed to the southwest mexican cuisine, I would not come here. I think I saw a Del Taco down the road. Now, I'd give Del Taco a rating of 1/5 stars, but at least they meet expectations.
Quick note, once I finished my only beer, it took 6 minutes to be offered another. I got my check quickly, but it did take him an additional 5 minutes to take and swipe my card. If you give the place a try, maybe consider ordering food for pickup.

Our waitress Tori was spectacular! She was friendly, attentive, paid close attention to our drinks and never let them get low. Made sure our food was up to our expectation and answered my questions about menu and drink options! Food is amazing as well!

First of all, Lexy was running the floor and bartending. She was positively incredible. Second, whoever is in charge of scheduling, shame on you. That's spreading your staff too thin. not even a barback to help her with dishes? Shame! Despite the scheduling flaws, Lexy was on it dang it! She got everything out and didn't feel like I was waiting on anything. Go Lexy! My husband and I loved the Mexican Pizza. It was really yummy. So we're the street tacos, cheese on the the outside, yum?

Arrived at the location, and there was one person sitting at the table, preparing to leave. We placed our order and several other couples came in after us and ordered food and received their food before we did. We ended up walking out. Because that should not have happened, other tables received their food before us. Will not be going back to this location again.

Customer service is garbage, waited 25 minutes for the waitress to even grace me with her presence. When she finally does she gets drinks and takes our order then proceeds to ignore us for another 25 minutes no chips and salsa, no straws as she walks past us and addresses another table that also has no chips and salsa. The food is good but I didn’t get to that part, I don’t have all night to wait for this girl to figure it out. Just drove by the building and our drinks are STILL sitting on our table, she hasn’t even noticed we left. I won’t be back.
Outstanding ambiance and great food!!
