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“

“We all take for granted when we go about our busy lives on a Saturday afternoon, wanting to make a quick Taco Bell run while somebody is working An 8 hour or maybe even a double shift.
working on your food, that they could just mail it in and put something in that bag, just to get you through, but they don't here at orchard lake. You can tell they put in the care and the time to make the food great for you. To finish going about your busy life and enjoying your Saturday afternoon. Anna was incredibly pleasurable to talk to at the front window. She was personable and sweet, and she didn't have to be that way. It's a fast food restaurant and a Saturday. But she did and I wanna thank her for making my day just a little bit easier and fun.
This taco bell is my favorite, of all of michigan, and that says, a lot because I love taco bell and I go everywhere. Thank you Orchard Lake taco bell for being exceptional.“

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

“Have gone to this place a few times within a few months and have loved it each time. Our first time, more notably, was met with an incredible experience in hospitality and service. The food was amazing, and (contrary to some people on here apparently) adequately portioned. The kind man who made our delicious drinks even brought us napkins and water cups without hesitation. Looking forward to the next time we're able to visit.“

“Didn't get a chance to try the food unfortunately but this is definitely quite the little place, and I mean literally! The market and restaurant are basically fused together! We came to get some groceries and had to squeeze between some tables to get to the ailes, but thats no biggie. They had everything we needed and the meat was of good quality for its price. Will hopefully try the food sometime.

Only real complaint is one of the ailes was full of boxes and a step stool, making it hard to navigate. Plus there was an exposed box cutter on one of the shelves!!!! Please store those away!“

“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.“

“Best natural grande at the Pontiac location go there you'll enjoy“

“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.“

“The Mexican food in Waterford period!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“15/10!! Their consistency and portions are amazing. This restaurant has yet to disappoint. Tried the sunrise country skillet for the first time today and it’s my new favorite. Very clean restaurant and the most pleasant staff!“

“Everytime I am in the area I stop here for my favorite Tacos de Lengua. Their salsas are really good and the beans and rice are perfect. It’s in the back of a store so the parking isn’t always great but I always find a place to park. People are very friendly“

“The Menudo was excellent!“

“OMG! The food is delicious! Authentic Mexican food. I had the 2 taco dinner, chicken, and it was flavored so well, just the right amount of spice and even had lime on the side. It was fantastic. My husband had the Burrito Supreme and it took up the whole plate! He had fork the burrito and stuffings into his mouth. The salsa and queso were so good with nice chuncky veggies in them. We live almost an hour away and we will definitely make the effort to come back!“

“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 !!!“

“It was my first time here and it exceeded all expectations. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, seated immediately with warm tortilla chips and salsa already on the table. Our server was very friendly. He took our order and the food was out in less than ten minutes. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced.“

“Delicious seafood menu and testy margarita“

“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".“

“Recently had dinner here and it was great! Ordered the birria tacos, plantains, and guac with chips. Everything came out amazing! We were served by Hugo, who was very attentive and provided great recommendations. The drinks here were also very well made. Good atmosphere for talking and laughing with friends. Highly recommend to anyone in the area“

“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.“

“My favorite local spot! I have been going to Lucas for over 2 years, before they even opened the store I’d stop at the food truck and pick up my steak quesadilla.

My food is always correctly made, fresh, and tastes good. I bring friends and have told people to go, everyone says it tastes good and we get a variety of options.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Our waitress was very helpful she brought over out breakfast of Chorizo con Juevos (awesome)and Eggs not your typical greasy chorizo it was the most flavorful and no grease residue or aftertaste that usually stays with you all day. Eggs Rachancheros / green sauce that were cooked perfect. As for the atmosphere it's a Bar , Mexican rough apparently the fights are mostly in the men's bathroom.. beat up..🤠 I will return for a different dish to try out next time. Enjoy!“

“A tuesday evening...waa hoping for a little rowdy crowd butI wasn't expecting a mirache band. Instead had a great dinner and stellar customer service. I'm from WA State and it seems service industry people there are angry- it's like you're inconvienencing them. Not here!

Was staying at Marriot across parking lot for some business at the UWM corporate headquarters and popped in. Will be back- great food, drinks and service“

“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“

“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.“

“I stopped in Monday on my way back from up north. First time here. I wanted to go back the next day. I wasn’t a fan of the queso but I’m not a huge cheese guy but I typically like queso. The salsa’s were very good. I mixed them and they were even better. Steak tacos were so good. Rice was good, but didn’t seem authentic. Cheap food, I will be back!!“
