Bartender- Diomari - is one of the best in town, we sit at the bar every Fri or Sat evening for our weekly business wrap-up and she just confirms the standard order 'no lettuce😃' and we are good to go. Great management, always a positive experience. Food & Drinks are solid!

Food is slightly better than most Mexican restaurants in Detroit. I highly recommend it! FYI, if they serve fried fish it’s usually in the authentic side of the Mexican restaurant industry. Waitresses were very nice and hospitable will definitely come again.
June 2025
The food was good... not great. I had a hankering for tacos. They must have left the liquid in the beef because the bottom of my shells were soggy. The liquid wasn't on my plate, so it had to come with the beef. The atmosphere was a typical 1990s Mexican restaurant. Could definitely use an update 30 years later. Our server was nice, though he had trouble understanding our order. He fixed it quickly and with a smile. I would give this place another try as my group enjoyed...
