50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Sylvan Lake

“Love their food, very fresh, salsa is delicious, service can be slow, but food is worth the wait“

“Never reviewed a taco bell before.. this one deserves it, just moved near the area and I have to say I am so pleasantly surprised to have such a consistent delicious taco bell nearest me. Food is an A+ everytime, and customer service has only left more to be desired 1 time out of 4 or 5. You can tell the employees make the food as if they were the ones going to be eating it, and if you visit most of the taco bells around the country, that is not the case. Thank you for making me believe in taco bell again Keego Taco Bell“

“Great food awesone service“

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

“I've been coming here for a long time and the staff has always been really friendly and they always do an incredible job making food and tea, and the frozen yogurt is also great. The place also looks very nice and clean and the back area is a very great place to sit and eat“

“I had 5 broken teeth and 2 large abscesses and couldn't eat much of anything but was starving. I was looking for something soft to gum. Thinking tamales or beans and cheese. Of the options the flour tortilla beef birria seemed to be the best fit. I ordered those, a side of beans and, a side of consomme. Was amazing. Just on the edge of what I can tolerate heat wise (I am a wimp). Great taste. I used the consomme to make birria ramen for a later meal. (Just beef ramen, 2 sticks string cheese, and the consomme). It was also great, very satisfying.“

“Delicious and flavorful food. Friendly staff. Mexican style/street tacos flare. Positive energy vibe, plenty of seating available. I had the California burrito and asked to add cilantro and had no issues, in fact the person taking the order loaded me up with additional toppings and sauces that the burrito was filling enough for 2 meals. Also had the trio sampler (guacamole, cheese, salsa) with chips. Very filling. Great flavor profile. Will definitely be adding this to my list to return again.“

“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 !!!“

“Had carry out for the first time since the new ownership. Sadly, a little disappointed. I ordered the the Zip Sauce Alfredo with chicken .It was really good! However, it didn't have much chicken in it at all the the garlic bread that it came with was soggy. My wife got the "Double Fajitas" with steak and chicken. The steak was pretty bland and there was barely enough meat for 3 small fajitas. My oldest daughter got the Enchilada Dinner and really enjoyed it. Great flavor! My Youngest Daughter got pancakes and bacon. Unfortunately, they bacon was a bit undercooked and rubbery and they forgot the syrup. We love to support local business and We have gone to the restaurant for years and have always enjoyed the food and service. So I am hoping this is just some of the early "bumps and bruises".“

“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 Mexican food in Waterford period!!“

“I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid and the waiters have been here the entire time and are always super awesome. Service is incredibly fast, like microwave fast, except the food is also 10/10. Fantastic restaurant and employees.“

“Not from the area and found it by accident. Absolutely the best traditional Mexican food I have had in forever. The shrimp cheviche was amazing! Bought one to take home! Don’t let the interior discourage you, its great food, great service and if I am ever this way again, it will be a “must” to go for more 😁“

“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!“

“The Menudo was excellent!“

“Hidden gem—almost impossible to see the name of this little restaurant, so it’s easy to miss! But what a fun surprise when you do find it. Great drinks—I tried the Hibiscus Margarita, my hubby had the classic. Very tasty! The food had great authentic flavor and was very reasonably priced for Birmingham. I had the shrimp taco and didn’t love how thick the soft shell was, but the flavor was delicious and the sauce with the shrimp was yummy. My hubby and daughter loved their dishes. He got a steak special and she got the Biria dish.
The coconut cake and churro cheese cake dessert were fabulous and worth the calories!
Service was great, friendly and helpful!
We will definitely be back! And next time I will get pictures!“

“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.“

“I've been going here with a group of friends for a several years now and it's become a tradition that I would never want to quit! The food is delicious and the staff is AMAZING (shout out to Miguel, Raul, Seira, Angelica, Crystal and anyone else I've missed --- LOVE you all!) Some of my go-to faves: shrimp tacos, anything with beef cheek (quesadillas, tacos, etc.), taco salad, fajitas (the meal that ends up being 2-3) and anything from the bar :D I'd also like to take a moment to really commend the staff & owners: ever since COVID started, it's been extremely tough for most every restaurant to obtain/keep their staff. I know there may be times Alchile can get really busy (as there are a lot of us that go regularly) and there may be times you may have to wait longer than you'd like to get a seat (or your food/drink) but know that the staff works really hard & truly cares about each customer and you will NOT be disappointed! They are well worth the wait“

The staff was friendly. All the food options looked and tasted fresh. Churros rocked. Heck I might stop in just for those alone. I would highly recommend this place over the large Corporate chain options out there. Hope these guys stay around for a long time“
