Mexican Restaurants near Walled Lake

“***Update May 2026***
Have tried this location 3 times recently and every single time the order has been correct, food items are full, and the staff are friendly! Updating the review to fairly reflect the change. Wait times can still be longer (that’s the minus 1 star).

Original Review with 2 star rating:
Since the move to the new location: my order has never been correct, the line is longer or service takes longer, and going inside is pointless. The old location I would’ve given 5 stars for fast food and service. Now we drive to the Taco Bell in Commerce where you actually get appropriately stuffed tacos and burritos.“

“We ate here to celebrate a birthday November of 2024. Everyone received their food quickly, enjoyed their entrees, margs and the chips and salsa. The most amazing tasty item was an appetizer of elote corn dip. I could just eat nothing else and be perfectly happy. 😊. Definitely give this restaurant a try. And btw, I’m from the Southwest: nothing was spicy but everything was delicious!“

“Quick, authentic food…you won’t get anything better and love how it’s local in our town! I never not see it packed, it’s the real deal.“

“Very fun, festive atmosphere. Delicious food, wonderful Sangria and attentive wait staff. A very unique place to enjoy an excellent Mexican meal. Definitely will be back.“

“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.“

“The best Mexican around! Food, drinks and staff are all amazing. Nothing else compares and after our first visit anytime we go anywhere else we leave disappointed wishing it was El Camino.“

“Kai and sky were absolutely amazing in assisting me with my order! They are very informed and knowledgeable regarding the menu and promotion offering! I will definitely be a consistent patron at this establishment. Kudos to the entire crew!“

“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.“

“Such good quality food, the owner has real care and passion for his restaurant, and I can’t stop thinking about their food.“

“The Menudo was excellent!“

“The Mexican food in Waterford period!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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".“

“We ordered the the veggie and steak Fajitas. Reasonable prices, with lots of healthy choices. So delicious, and we had great service too.“

“I have taken several people to this restaurant and it never disappoints. I especially love their burritos and their cheese dip.“

“We have been here twice and the food has been great both times. I am picky about my Mexican food and this place is the real deal. Flavorful and not greasy. Prices are reasonable with good portions. Servers are friendly. The wait from ordering to plates on table was pretty quick. There is limited seating that's the reason for the 3 star rating on atmosphere, otherwise it is clean and pleasant.“

“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 food is authentic and soooooooo good! I highly recommend! The mole, birria, mar y tierra and guancamole is 💯“

“Years ago, my father was in the wholesale meat business in the Eastern Market and sold the Mexican Village their meat. For many years, Mexican Village has been a great dining experience, and then I found out about Mexican Fiesta. I have been going to the original location for many years, and to the one in Hartland. I am so glad that I discovered the 4th Mexican Fiesta 18 minutes away from me. I am in Waterford with many Mexican restaurants, and one is less than a block away from me. Hands down, Mexican Fiesta is better than all of them.“

“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“

“The food is authentic and soooooooo good! I highly recommend! The mole, birria, mar y tierra and guancamole is 💯“

“Great authentic Mexican food. Delish! 😋“

“Great food every time and good portions! A regular in our house!“

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

“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 best restaurant, excellent service, the food is delicious and they have the best margaritas in the town!!!! 100% recommend“

“My daughter and I went on Cinco de Mayo and had a terrific time! The food was delicious, and the live entertainment was spectacular! The husband and wife duel were awesome! They did a great job with entertainment. They played a lot of fun songs. The wait staff was very friendly & efficient. Tt was very busy, and they still had a great attitude & were very nice! I highly recommend this restaurant! I had the chicken chimichanga and it was delicious, & my daughter's steak fajita was fabulous! We will definitely be back!!“

“Really yummy Margaritas!!!“

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

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

“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“

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

“Lynda and her team did an AMAZING job catering our event earlier this month! She went well beyond and above! She was patient, extremely helpful, and did a fantastic job setting up! Really appreciate her stepping up and will definitely use this location again! Thank you!“

“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.“

“Everything. Especially the pancake tortillas.“

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

“I’m so lucky to live so close to this restaurant! My coworkers and I went here for lunch once last year and I loved the food so much, I come here all the time now. 😊💛“

“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.“

“excellent food“

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

“The staff was nice, but only 1 gal was running the whole counter. The lady standing by the cash register wouldn't even get sour cream and guacamole. I felt sorry for the one gal. I've worked at food places before and it's no fun to work alone. The next group that came in the cash register gal did assist with but like 7 people came in together.“

“From the UP… First time here! Great service and great food, A+++++ Ali, Jadyn and the rest of the staff were fast and took care of us! Definitely will make Driftwood Bar and Grill the place to go when traveling!“

“Loved pancheros when I was going to u of m and this location hits my nostalgia craving every time. I feel like I never see the same workers there, but even so everyone I've met has been helpful, happy, and more than willing to pile on the fajita veggies.

Woo!“

“They came to our hosptial for nurses week. It was so good! Highly recommend and they did great with the large crowds 😊“

“The manager and only one staff have been working every Friday at this Qdoba on Newburgh and 6 mile every Friday from 4 o’clock to close by themselves. The manager was polite but you can tell she was tired and exhausted. I appreciated the customer service that was given to us. This location needs more staff and help.“

“I have to say I was quite surprised by the crunchy beef tacos I purchased. These were the best Taco Bell tacos I have ever had! Never thought I would say this about a location in a mall. The beef filling was nice and hot with a decent texture. Usually, the meat is lukewarm and mushy but not on these tacos. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and the sour cream just the right amount. This Taco Bell got it right!“
