Good food, reasonably priced. Appreciate the patio seating.

Fun, casual spot for a good, inexpensive meal.

Great food waited long time for the bill

So I finally got the chance to go to this place after the tigers game on our 2nd night in downtown Detroit and this place wasn’t bad. The inside looks pretty nice and has a vibrant feel to it. For dinner I got the baja fish burrito which was delicious and chips were pretty good as well. Overall I do recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to eat in downtown detroit

Got the wrong order and the waitress gave us our check before we were even done eating. Felt very rushed

Clearly understaffed. Arrived on time for 5:30 reservations. Waited about 15 minutes for order to be taken and were served food at 6:30. Ordered two tacos and one was incorrect. They fixed the issue relatively quickly. Ate outside so people watching was the best, just wish we could have had a basket of chips to munch on to make up for the very long wait. Also, the women’s restroom was out of order and patrons were directed to the nearby lobby. The lobby restrooms were locked.

I’m mortified!!!! Visited Detroit this weekend for a wedding and decided to stop here after a baseball game. What a complete mess! We were told there was a 20 min wait and opted to sit at the bar. While taking our seats an extremely rude bartender yelled to the hostess that she was done taking customers at the bar. The hostess then proceeded to put us at a table, awesome problem solved … ! Not at all! the restaurant is empty! We sit at the table and wait an hour for food and watch the staff continuously just shy away customers and tell them “ we are short staffed.” They funny thing is the rude bartender is sending shots to the kitchen and is drinking at the bar, but the employees refuse to do their actually job and help customers. I feel Bad for the owners, supervision is needed ! Also observed several employees go out for smoke breaks and not wash their hands when they returned. Doesn’t seem like staffing is a problem it seems like the staff don’t want to work. Everything is a long wait because the staff has their own agendas. The food was okay, everything else just brought the overall experience down. Find better people who want to be here. Disappointed!

I hate to leave a review like this but I walked into this place expecting good food. This place is for someone who’s never had authentic Mexican or frankly a good meal in their life. The corn was under cooked, the enchiladas were OVER cooked (probably from the heat lamps they sat underneath all morning), and do not get me started on the weak 8oz $10 margaritas… go somewhere else

Thanks for fitting our large group in today. The food was great. Enjoyed both salsas and the burritos/rolled quesadillas were huge!Tara (pretty sure that was our waitresses name) is a hard worker and running between tables. She made sure our drinks were full and got the kids their food quickly. Will definitely be back when we are in Detroit for another event.

Food was delicious. Great, friendly service. Manager checked on us and other customers a couple times. This was my first time, but I’ll be going again.
