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“

“This place, honestly, has the best Mexican food in the area. It would be great if they offered coupons to their customers in their loyalty program above and beyond their point system. I'd eat there more if given a few dollars off coupons.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“The Menudo was excellent!“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Delicious seafood menu and testy margarita“

“Excellent service and delicious food!!!“

“la comida era muy delicioso gracias por todo“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I like the store and can find what I need. Last time I was there several people wanting money right outside the door. Felt a little frightened by them. Could clean the cart and store up.“

“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!!“

“Decent Meal with a Side of Spooky Decor

Stopped by El Toro Bar & Grill in Pontiac, MI, and overall had a pretty good experience. The service was fine—nothing exceptional, but attentive enough. I ordered a meal that came with generous portions, which was definitely a plus. You won’t leave hungry.

The atmosphere is colorful and lively, though I have to admit the Day of the Dead skulls in the decor caught me off guard. They’re artistically done, but something about them felt a little creepy to me—not quite the vibe I expected when sitting down to eat. Might just be personal taste.

All in all, it was an okay visit with solid food and a festive setting. Worth checking out if you're in the area and curious.“

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

“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“

“I've been going here at least once a week recently and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, the food is always good and wait times have never been long but that likely depends on the time of day. All in all a good choice especially if you need something quicker.“

“We stopped by this Qdoba to grab something quick to eat and had a good experience.

The place felt cool, relaxed, and welcoming, which made it an easy stop. I ordered a steak bowl with white rice and lettuce, which was simple but exactly what I was in the mood for.

The staff were kind, helpful, and accommodating, and everything went smoothly while I was there.

Overall, it was a nice, easy stop and I’d come back.“

“They absolutely loaded me up. Loved the food they were very generous with the meat and all the cheese. So greatful to have been able to experience the amazing atmosphere and it was honestly an out of body experience…Chipotle could never load me up like that. Absolutely recommend Qdoba“

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