Short rib tacos came with a dipping sauce. Received 3 soggy tacos with a greasy dipping sauce! How do you pick up and dip soggy tacos. Taste was less than ok!

Great spot on the avenue of fashion. Food was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed their happy hour specials. Their queso and margaritas are excellent. I enjoyed my steak quesadilla! Fantastic service from Tiffany. We will be back!

A friend and I visited this restaurant 12/30/23. We arrived at 9:02 pm. There were patrons seated at a table and 2 gentlemen at the bar. The young lady at the bar didn’t greet, she just immediately asked if we were sitting at the bar. We decided to sit at the bar. She then asked were we picking up food or eating there. We said eating here. She then stated while passing us menus, “Y’all gotta place y’all orders cause we about to close.” I’m instantly turned off, with her lack of welcome and her interest to service us. It was still well before 9:15 and the restaurant closes at 10:00 pm. We chose this place, because this is my childhood neighborhood and out of all the years I lived there, we didn’t have a Mexican restaurant in walking distance. I love the happenings on Livernois. This was our pitstop before catching the game. So we already didn’t have intentions on being there more than a hour. The young lady then asked if we wanted drinks. We weren’t sure. She gave us a menu. She went to the back and came back and stated, “The bartender isn’t back yet so I guess I have to make your drinks.” We respectfully declined to order any after that statement. We received our food. It was fresh, made to order and it was really good. However we had to ask the same young lady for utensils. She appeared rushed, annoyed, and focused on one of the guys at the bar. She gave my friend dirty utensils. Still eating my meal she pulled my plate and asked if I was done. It wasn’t even 10:00 yet. The bartender, a more mature woman came out and immediately gave us a warm greeting. I appreciated her professionalism and the fact she asked us about our experience in which I expressed the service was not pleasant nor professional with Mya. The waitress we had focused more on leaving at 10 on the dot vs. making money during business hours. We intended to order more but decided not to. You never know who walks through your doors. There should be great service that comes along with great food. I’ll give this place a try again but I definitely do not want to be serviced by her nor should I feel rushed with my experience 1 hour before closing.

Staff was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The space clean and organized, and the service was efficient. I ate there and ordered food to go. I had the birria tacos there, a 2 quesadillas for my coworkers and some wings. Wings weren't my favorite but i'll go back and try more from the menu.

VERY DISAPPOINTED with the $60 drink tower . They weren’t even half way filled smh .and when asked about the difference in person vs Instagram. They basically admitted it was “false advertising “ . The actual drink it’s self was good . But after taking two sips the drink was gone . The table salsa was a little too sweet for my liking . I never had sweet salsa. I feel like they need additional staff a bar tender etc . The waitress was doing everything. The waitress was okay . She seemed like she was a lil annoyed. But maybe she was doing EVERYTHING . The loaded fries were delicious. But that drink tower really pissed me off .

I had 2 chicken enchiladas and 1 beef enchilada which were delicious and very filling, alongside the rice beans and guacamole. The chips with salsa and cheese dip were a great side, and the waitress was very attentive.

Servers were decent. It’s a very small place. It’s hard to find you drove past it three times before we located it. The biggest problem here is the food just isn’t that good, it was average at best, but it really felt tasteless and the portions were kind of small And the prices did not give you great value for what you were

Been here a couple of times! Consistent each time, the food and overall experience. We sat at the bar and Whitney was our server. She was pleasant and got our stuff out to us. Wait on drinks can be a little slow since there’s only one bartender (we usually go on a weekday so could be different on weekends). Overall a nice black owned spot with some Tex Mex classics
Excellent customer service and extremely clean.The food was piping hot and fresh tasted delicious.The owner or maybe that was the cook came out and actually checked on us to make sure everything was okay. I like that and it is special touch to let us know that they were willing to make any corrections that we needed or fix any problems. They wanted us to enjoy ourselves I appreciate that.I had the appetizers of 3 Birra tacos made with tender short ribs and I got Mexican corn on the cob.Let me tell you that was a complete meal three hefty meaty cheesy tacos with the dipping sauce was absolutely delicious.I was so stuffed I couldn't eat anything else.They also have a brunch menu which I've never been to but I do plan to come back and check it outI definitely recommend this restaurant.

OMG....I don't know why I'm just trying this place! Food was SOOOOO good! The restaurant is quaint. We went around lunch time and a Saturday and there was only 1 other person at the bar. Diamond was our bartender/waitress and she was great. All of our food items were delish. We had nachos, fajitas, wings, and pequeno fries. Even better the margarita was NICE! Perfect amount of flavor and alcohol. Why the Avenue of Fashion has a lot of new businesses, it is a 1 lane road each direction, so the traffic is always bad, and parking is even worst. But please don't let that deter you. You have to try this place!
