I have had many good experiences with this restaurant since the mid 80's. The food has always been top notch and Delicious every time I have visited. The staff is super nice and very helpful to describe a few dishes that I had questions about because I like to try new things. I find the green salsa verde extremely delicious with just the right amount of kick. I've never walked out disappointed.
They have very reasonable prices and I highly recommend that you...

This place isn't much to look at, but when it comes to food they never disappoint!! I have been coming here since 1981~ish when I lived in the neighborhood on Butler St. I no longer live in MI, but every time I visit I try to make this a stop!! 🌮🌮🌮

Stopped by for dinner and was verrrry disappointed. Used to go there for Topopo salad. Ordered rice and beans with salad. Horrible cold undone rice and salad slopped over the side of plate. Won’t stop by again
