We’d never been to the “pink house restaurant!!” All things Spanish themed - Love it ? Aesthetics beautiful wood paneling, chairs, booths, even if 200 or more years old so pretty, what that decor and furniture must have seen and gone through just to end up in Ypsilanti, Michigan! Confession, a small insecurity: my past students. When I began teaching in public education, I looked like my students, was often mistaken for my high school students and I even had a twenty year old as a high school student in my class ( of course, more mature, didn’t look his age, fit right in) anyway, our server was a bestie to a past student of mine and she recognized me. Time has been kind to me and my physical appearance, yes I do have high blood pressure and diminished vision and yes forty pounds heavier but I’m working on it. The food, waitstaff and speed of order to our table was good. The crowd was slowly building up so the expectation was hot, fresh and quick with all of the components of the orders. Not! Coffee mediocre. Rule #1, if you cannot deliver a tasty, fresh cup of leaded coffee, you are asking for it. Sadly, my second half filled lukewarm cup did not get poured until we were leaving. Is it a food code violation to reuse the chips? Look no matter what my experience is/was you might have a better or worse one so . . Lettuce - fresh, soft tortilla- fresh, chips - - below average, chewy not crunchy probably stale not sure as the average tasting red salsa covered up any mold or whatever I was digesting with the salsa chips. Also, friendliness does not mean flirting!! More cheese, more sauce, heated and succulent entrees were sadly, not in evidence. Did we eat everything? We had to go containers, so I can take the food home and “ hook it up!” First and last visit to Dos Fuentes restaurant. I am a food critic. I love to travel and I’ve tasted and eaten dishes in New Mexico, Texas, Cuernavaca, Mexico, other parts of Mexico and Spain . If I ever travel to Spain again it will be towards the South. I did not have a good experience in Bilbao. The beaches of France were okay. My palate and tastes were developed early by my mother, who trotted my sis and I all around NYC in the early 1960’s to try all of the varied and wonderful food stands of the day. Tastes, textures, spices and seasonings of any dish are the purview of the cook, better yet, chef. If food is cooked in resentment and haste rather than appreciation and care those vibes too, come out in the food. Some of you know exactly what I’m talking about, anywho love your preparations and cooking of the dishes to be served to your customers. I am always happy to share and contribute to supplement my retirement income. I am one of the lucky 32% of USA citizens that have a retirement. This is one of the sorrows for our elders that only have Social Security (Thank God), if that, or do not have enough. Blessings to you & I am grateful as well.
AMAZING atmosphere, authentic in food and the attention to detail with the decor is Fantastic! They good was soooooooo good, better than Maize, and you know how non authentic Mexican restaurants just make everything super ..... This is actual seasoning with a slow burn that makes it AMAZING.
I got nachos locos , and they were the best nachos I have had in a long time. I definitely want to go again. El Restaurante es perfecto?
Honestly so disappointed and sad over this. On vacation for the first time in five years to see my best friend and we go to this place and are served quite literally the worst food I've ever eaten in a mexican restaurant and the three employees who were working seemed as though they didn't give a single f. Our two entrees were brought out and my friends was the wrong one and my beef dish was sitting on a plate of water and oil and fat that had ruined everything. Our server never came back we couldn't order another drink and we were never brought salsa or hot sauce that we had asked for. It's a huge shame because my friend has been coming here once a month since they opened and raved about it so much my mouth was watering when we walked in and saw the exceptional decor. Just the most awful dining experience I've had in a long, long time.
Stopped in and got carryout after work. Wish I had done eat-in because the atmosphere is super fun. But carryout was still delicious- will definitely be back!
Always love the food, good vegetarian options, kids enjoy this place, quick service. Fried ice cream for dessert makes a perfect ending...
The absolute best Mexican food. Meals are delicious, well prepared and presented beautifully. Chips are hot and salsa is very tasty. Service is excellent and friendly. Beautiful atmosphere, very accommodating, adhering to COVID recommendations, even with a party of twelve.
These nachos were good and terrible. They were burnt and don't know how a cook could have been proud to serve these jacked-up nachos. To add insult to injury the only way they said they could fix it was for me to travel 20 minutes in extremely cold weather for $6 nachos, no thank you.I would not recommend this place at least not for nachos This isn't the first time that they served me bad nachos. The other time was about three months ago but I gave them a pass. They lost my business and I hope no one else has this experience.
Love love love this restaurant ? The food is amazing and the service is always great ?
The food is so good, and the portions are huge. We always choose this restaurant when we want Mexican food in this area
