34 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Orion

“I come here most often on Sunday nights and enjoy their incredible chips and salsa. I only eat their chicken tenders (I know, not Mexican!). They are always fresh and very quick with their service.“

“I’ve been here before, but it’s been some years since that time. Tonight we came in with our 1 1 /2 yr old and the only thing I could ask for is to be more kid friendly. I asked the host tonight 3/27/25 if there were any extra balloons… my daughter could have while we had dinner and the host had to ask her manager & manager said no. Ok. 👍 cool. We have coloring books and sketch pads to keep her occupied, nothing from the restaurant and then my daughter had grilled cheese and fries come out and seriously piping hot. As a mom, I’m sorry, but her plate was so hot, fries and sandwich were so hot. How come the cooks couldn’t leave them out for a little bit of time before our meals came out or whatever… as a family restaurant you should have coloring crayons like other restaurants near by… and just simply be more kid friendly. It’s already hard enough to get out and specially as a family. I’m not sure after this experience that I personally will come back.“

“From personal experience I don’t recommend working here, I don’t know how Margret has a job as a manager speaking from experience as well she’s so entitled until the owner comes in. Two of the managers I had no problem with they were very nice and understanding, But Margret was a nightmare in disguise I’m not the first to walk out because of her just in the past month we’ve lost 4 people not including me because of the way she treats, speaks, and acts towards people. I’m not one for bashing anybody but I don’t know how they let someone like her work and manage a good restaurant like this. We’ve had a couple of disagreements, but I’ll get to the point because I messed up an order while serving she tried to get me to pay for the food keep in mind this is my first mistake and I did pay for the food out of my tips but after the argument, I was told by two co-workers she took out her laptop and changed my schedule from 6 days to 3, which is now messing with my income. I'm a young man trying to save up for my schooling at the moment, so when I found this out and saw my schedule for next week I called her as anyone would do, she then declined my call and I texted her to call me we need to talk, she immediately texts back I’m busy and I’m questioning your tone? This is over text as well not a phone call. So at this point, I’m like what is her problem I wanna talk it out. So I went on to tell her about what I was told by my co-workers and my schedule which let’s be real 50-year-old women messing with 20 years old income over a disagreement is just absurd and honestly insane. I texted her what I was told and she responded with I think you need to take a step back and think about who you're talking to? So at this point, I’m mad because now it’s just a toxic conversation created by her Margret, I went on to say how she has made the work environment toxic and uncomfortable and that messing with my income is completely childish, and I had already told my other manager that if this continues I’m putting my two weeks in. So In general they knew I was leaving the company it was a toxic and uncomfortable environment not only for me but for everyone, Margret and her husband Luis act like they own the place, her husband is just a cook but that’s beside the point, everyone working there would say the same, one of the managers is about to quit because of the way Margret treats him I won’t say any other names because this is just about her how she made it such a toxic and uncomfortable environment. After I asked her how she would feel if someone was messing with her income, I didn’t get a response for hours to keep in mind they already knew I was gonna quit so she fired me before I could. After about 4 hours I get a text message towards the night saying it would be best if I didn’t come back and work a Rio on main and to be honest I felt relieved knowing I would never work for someone like that ever again. This was just one event I could go into another time when I was super sick, but we’re not because I don’t even really have time for this after I was let go I told her I hope she has a great life but I will be leaving a google review and yelp review about her. She ruined the environment, she messed with my income, she verbally assaulted me multiple times at work, and she verbally assaults another manager who is about to quit because she has made the environment so toxic for anyone she doesn’t agree with or anyone who doesn’t obey the craziest authority. I would understand paying for food if you messed up 7 orders but after my one mess up I couldn’t believe the way she treated me there and other servers and staff. So sadly to everyone looking to work here, I’m sorry but I suggest you look somewhere else until this manager is gone she’s a very toxic and childish human being, if only I could post some of the things she’s said. Thank you for reading and listening to what I went through here. Also, think twice before you let someone treat you like an undervalued human or garbage we all have a voice let it speak.“

“This food truck is phenomenal!! Great food and service the burrito was the size of my husband’s forearm and was filled!! We both split it and couldn’t eat all of it! Tasted amazing!!! I 1000% recommend them if you want some great Mexican food!!“

“Got my usual order from my usual tacobell, got a steak grilled cheese burrito and a bean burrito extra red sauce extra onion through the drive through right before close. O swear that grilled burrito was sent straight from the heavens, the best food I've eaten at tacobell, hands down. Hot, steaming. Perfectly cooked cheese and boiling contents with the freshest, crisp onions in my bean burrito. Ten. Out of ten.“

“Humberto and his family are amazing. The food is DELICIOUS!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“My first time here and it was delicious, thank you!“

“First time getting food from Apache Grill and we were not disappointed! The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were so friendly. Living in Davison, we have missed that wonderful, authentic Mexican taste. We will definitely be going back!!! Loved it!“

“Don’t let the outside fool you. It’s a small hole in the wall restaurant but the food ?. Best to get food to go as it’s very limited seating. Ordered pozole and wifey got quesa birria tacos. Both were fantastic. We will come back it’s that good.“

“The staff is always friendly and the food is delicious!“

“Food is excellent, the salsa bar unique many choice's Service is fast and friendly , Decor inside is picture worthy old western style saddles and cowboy hats really nice !!!“

“Best tacos that I’ve eaten in Michigan. PERIODT! The barbacoa tacos were amazing. I’d pass on the chicken tacos next time but they were still decent. The salsa was great and they use El Milagro tortillas which if you know you know. It’s inside of a grocery store which contributes to the very authentic Mexican vibes. The tacky pictures they sell just add to the ambiance and somehow make sense. Loved every bit of it and it was so reasonably priced.“

“The Menudo was excellent!“

“Ordered food. Tripe taco was good well seasoned. I wanted the tripe crispy but Google translate said to put in a hard shell lol still really good. Horchata fresh, really good. Ordered a half al pastor half asada tortas. The asada is a lil salty but still delicious. The al pastor however did taste a lil old, slight spoil tang iykyk. 4 star cause it was probably an off day but who knows.“

“Service was excellent. Margarita was delicious if not slightly small. We had the taquitos dinner which was presented well in a fried basket shell with lettuce, pico and guacamole and to dip sour cream and queso. The chicken was well seasoned and not dry. We also had the fish Baja tacos and they were also not dry and flavorful with pineapple on the pico was an unexpected added touch that was delicious. The Baja fish dinner came with perfectly cooked seasoned fries. We rode a quite a way to try a new Mexican restaurant and we're not disappointed. We will definitely be going again.“

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

“I wouldn’t have believed I’d be leaving a 5-star review when I walked in for lunch today. I’ve been here many times in the past, and it’s always been good, but today was something else. The recent upgrades to the restaurant area, combined with the best taco combo I can remember having, made it clear—this place is now my new standard for traditional Mexican food.“

“Fantastic service, great food!“

“I travel often, and no Chimichanga I’ve tried compares to the one here. The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the quality is unmatched—even among top chains. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this spot. Just be warned: it’s hard not to clean your plate!“

“we have love been going to them since they 1st came to pontiac.they are fast and so good.. my favorite is the consume with the meat in it omgggg so good“

“Amazing food and great service“

“Big Portions of fresh produce and tasty meat make for a great Meal and Deal on the Purchase of it! I'm a Big Guy and I can hardly finish a Burrito or Bowl. I add all the Guacamole and onions, Rice and beans to them, all at no extra charge!! Love this Place! Qdoba is an Excellent Restaurant for a quick and satisfying bite or to Cater your Family or Corporate get together.“

“I have only been one time before and remembered it on my way home from fishing with my son today. The food was great but the service was even better. They were very kind, laid back, and interacted with my kiddo (who is 10) so much. It was a great ending to our fishing day. Thanks Isolas! You will have a job app from him in a few years 😉“

“The food was great here!“

“When coming here for awhile, awesome food and nice guys. But they are funny…I get the same thing everytime I visit. 3 chicken tacos with everything on it and literally everytime the price is different no matter what the day. It’s kind of frustrating so I won’t be going there as often.“

“Outstanding happy hour experience today! Love the atmosphere and the menu. Margaritas were yummy. Service was great.“

“Taco Vida has great food, fun open atmosphere topped with very friendly service to make this an all around 5-star quick bite to eat. I had 4-different tacos including the beef, pork shrimp and chicken and enjoyed each. The owner was there and was quick to greet us with a friendly and welcoming smile. With a bottled seltzer, 2 meals and a small dessert, our bill came to $47“
