Restaurantji's Lincoln Park Mexican restaurant picks are here.
“Went looking in my neighborhood for a big can of Hominy to make Pozole. I way overpaid for the can of hominy, BUT, my daughter saw the eating area and asked if we were eating.So we sat down to eat, I ate the enchilada lunch, and my daughter had the milanesa kids lunch. They were both delicious. The chicken was juicy and breaded and cooked so good. although the portion of rice was small, it was fresh, hot and delicious. The refried beans were also very good. And while i probably wont make it a point to go here, I would stop if I was in the area and hungry.“
“Downriver is so fortunate to have an authentic Mexican bakery. I got a flan and a few Mexican pastries. I really enjoy their pastries. They have great pastries, great service, and the bakery is conveniently located on Fort Street. Definitely worth a visit.“
“Order the steak burrito lady inside really nice I tried the Serrano sauce it was amazing she said she took it off the menu because people in the area don't like spicy I would definitely come back and get this burrito again and try something “
“This hidden diamond near 8 mile road is THE BEST mexican food you will have outside of Mexico. I'm a Texan and telling you this. I started coming to this place when my parents moved to Ann Arbor, MI. My godparents wanted to have family dinner and took us to Tijuana...this was in 2002. I now live in Columbus, Ohio and travel here once a quarter for this restaurant. The favors are so rich, fresh, and DEEP. The salsa is drinkable. You literally don't even need chips. Everything is made from scratch. Someone's grandma is in the back there making this ( Yes, the owners aunt and mom use to work in the kitchen supervising the meals. This is how often I was coming here! Extremely nice family). I have never had a bad meal! My personal favorites or the Mimi Chims and Chicken enchiladas! If You are in Detroit...stop by! You will leave with a smile and ready for a NAP“
“Pretty good experience with this place. Much like Los Arcos, a few blocks over, it is a grocery store but has an area where you can order food and sit down to eat.I came in here for Taco Tuesday and for $1.50 per taco, you really cannot beat the price.I ordered the carne, pollo, and chorizo tacos. I found the carne and the polo to lack flavor. The chorizo, however, was definitely above average and was something that would make me return to this place.If you sit down and eat, they offer chips and salsa. The salsa is definitely some of the higher quality that I've had. It was fresh and pretty flavorful.They also served 2 verde sauces and one red sauce, both of which were in a bottle. One of the verde sauces was creamy, which was my favorite sauce of the three provided.As far as the grocery store, one thing that stood out was the large variety of drinks. There are many Mexican favorites and they also sell Mexican beer.The staff is very friendly. They also know English quite well, which isn't always the case when I go to Mexican places like this.Overall, this place is worth checking out. The service is efficient and friendly. I recommend going on Taco Tuesday when tacos are $1.50 each. The chorizo tacos are the best, in my opinion.“
“First time going there. I ordered a home made corn quesadilla stuffed with mushrooms, epazote, cheese and grilled onions. My wife ordered a huarache, which is an oval corn made, thicker dough like tortilla topped with half Mexican chorizo and half chopped steak or carne asada with fresh cheese sliced nopalito or tender cactus, onions and green and red salsas.Both were delicious. The only thing I wasn't expecting was a service charge besides taxes. I guess a lot of places are doing that nowadays.“
“Food is excellent. Staff are friendly polite and professional. The only problem I see with this business is that sometimes it is very difficult to get a place to park. Even with additional parking across the street behind the tobacco shop. But when a restaurant is this busy or tells me that they have really good food. Nobody likes to wait but if you go somewhere that you're right in and out and you don't see very many people you can almost bet the food is not going to be that great. Anything that's really good is worth waiting for.“
“Service (5/5) - For being a food truck they offer very quick orders. The food is never poorly made /put together or cold. The people working are easy to talk too and are open to questions about the menuFood (6/5) - This is the most addicting Mexican food I have had. The grande burrito is insanely good. The carne asada fries are also a go-to.“
“Absolutely do not pass this location up! This building used to be the old Dix Coney Island in fort Street but was changed awhile back to be one of downrivers best Mexican restaurants in my opinion.The waitress we got knows our order by heart and always makes great small talk. It's nice feeling welcomed into an establishment by the staff.Food is amazing for the value you pay. I typically go during lunchtime for their lunch combos 2 items rather than 3 that comes with the dinner combo.“
“We have been here a few times and every time the service has been on point and welcoming. All of the food we have tried has been authentic and really, really good. We have had enchiladas, burritos, tacos and of course, a flight of margaritas!! Highly recommend. It is now our go to place in the area.“
