The food at Culantro in Ferndale is good, but unfortunately it’s overshadowed by mediocre service. The staff seemed confused about which table each dish belonged to, and after paying a $64 bill plus an $11 tip, I asked for a small sauce. They charged me 50 cents for it. Really? You can’t give a customer a small cup of sauce? This shows a lack of value in their service — they made an extra 50 cents but lost a customer for good.

Some of the best food in Ferndale. Great service too. I get vegan lomo saltado with a ton of side aji verde sauces. So yummy.

We have been wanting to try this place for a while now and are happy that we did. We did a pickup order and it went smoothly and the order was ready on time. Overall, the Tacu Lomo was okay and the steak bites were yummy but there wasn’t a lot of them. The entree consisted of mainly the rice and beans which had good flavor but was taking up the entire meal. There were no yellow peppers as stated on the menu description but the green onion and tomatoes were cooked nicely.

Ceviche was delightfully solid. Desserts look great too, I know the flan was.

Amazing! Consistently delicious food, gracious staff, and a focused yet varied menu with three vegan entrees and at least a few sides. Vibrant cultural motifs adorn a cherished a lowkey spot in convenient walking distance to happenings downtown. We get the vegan culantro bowl often and it scratches an itch I've been chasing for many years, since a food truck at a festival. The plantains go crazy! Would be insane with some coconut milk vanilla ice cream 😉
The truth is, it was a total disappointment. I wouldn't waste my time going back to this place. I recommend the one in Ann Arbor for its quality and good service. The service was terrible. The young man at the register was completely rude and uninterested. The food was very poor quality. My fried rice tasted like oil and rice. But the most concerning thing is the service.

Great food. I ordered a second entree because it was so 🤤 Excellent staff.
I accidentally dropped my ring in the sink. The waitress called the cook who was there in a few minutes, unhooking the plumbing to get my ring out. What a wonderful crew!

First of all, I like by saying I’m giving this review five stars because I accidentally erased the photos I had for DoorDash. I use the photos for the DoorDash photo and they erased my phone and I’m very disappointed about that but the food was phenomenal.
One of my favorite restaurants in the metro They have things on the menu that u dont see much and from the food that ive id, its all been really good and the price is ok
