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 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.“

“My children and I has ate here twic le so far, and we love it! I am a grubhub driver and I picked up an order from here and I was interested to come for myself and family. I love their customer service here just as well. I plan to continue coming back often. Keep up the amazing job ladies!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great little Mexican restaurant. Friendly staff, great food, and fresh horchata. Still offering food at a decent price right off square lake! Definitely give them a try!!!

Vegetarian options: Napal and papas tacos, veggie fajitas, fried avocado tacos and more“

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

“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.“

“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 !!!“

“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!“

“Delicious seafood menu and testy margarita“

“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.“

“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".“

“Me encanta la comida aquí, y la gente siempre está muy amable ‼️🫶🏻“

“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“

“Food was amazing. Everything we had was delicious. Great Sangria. Attentive staff. Only wish was…turn the music down. It was too loud to hear our friends talking.“

“The place before this was terrible but so glad they got new owners! The food is finally up to par and the restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Great drinks as well! The Bahama mama is excellent! Five stars is only for a place that really knocks my socks off, so four is good.“

“I’ve been managing restaurants for 20+ years. We had the pleasure of having Eric as our server. Eric was absolutely wonderful! Very very friendly and personable. The food is always great and they even have pina colada’s! Best Mexican food in Walled Lake, Commerce Twp, West Bloomfield, and Novi!“

“The Mexican food in Waterford period!!“

“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.“

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

“Great food!! Staff is always super friendly!!“

“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!“

“The food was really good tonight and the drink will knock you off your feet but the heat was not working“

“Our family stopped In there today to try for the first time. We had 2 Large steak burritos, 1 veggie burrito bowl and 2 churros. Food was amazingly good. The establishment was clean. 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“

“Just ate here for the first time this week. Great food, great service, and friendly people!“

“They were pretty busy when I went in, but the worker took time to clean the station, wash her hands and change her gloves. Not sure why she chose that exact moment when people were waiting, but I appreciated it nonetheless. I got a bowl with beans, rice, salsa, cheese etc. The portions are huge. I watched her make a quesadilla and a burrito. I jave no idea how she rolled up that burrito and got it to close, but she did. The staff was friendly and did a good job. Food was quite good. I would go back.“

“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!“

“Poncho was amazing definitely ask for him when you go there. Great experience great service and great food!!!! Thanks again Poncho!!!“

“10 year later review: This place is even better than when it was Mi Zarape, so I’m changing it to a 5. It is way better than Cantina El Dorado in Auburn Hills (especially the basic margarita). Service is always great and we get in and out fast.

Outdated 2015 Review: Food is great. They are very friendly and cater to our 9 month old. I recommend the burrito Zarape.“

“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.“

“Very unassuming location but Excellent Mexican food! Some of the best in Metro Detroit!“

“Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and servers were excellent. Their cookies are worth the wait; hot and fresh from the oven! We enjoyed it so much, we went twice while we were in town for vacation.“

“Had a great time, and the food was great.“

“Absolutely recommend this place. The food is absolutely delicious, low sodium. Good size portions, very reasonable prices. very clean and great, fast service!! The place is small yet we enjoyed it. I will definitely be back!!!“

“Food great! Very friendly. Cramped dinning area (drafty) but clean. Small grocery store connected (Mexican foods).“

“Great staff from the owners to the waitress. Egg sandwich was phenomenal. Patty Melt was something I will reorder. Going back to try more menu items. Thanks for the hospitality.“

“Out of every Qdoba location I have ever gone to, this is my favorite. The staff is extremely friendly, efficient and clearly care about their customers. This is mine and my work crews favorite lunch spot in this area. We will continue to frequent this location whenever we are working in this area.“

“Best wet burrito around in my opinion, and great prices!“

“The only thing that would make this restaurant better is if there were beds to sleep after eating.“
