Cecila the Best

by marasol at Citysearch

I hope I spelt her her name correctly? She is probably the best waitress we have ever had and trust me we have been everywhere!! When we go we always ask for for her she's the best and teaches you proper north american spanish and we love it. We stopped going to the other resturant down the street for numerous reasons, Our first experience was with our waitress Cecila she made it so enjoyable that we haven't looked back. I am a Chef by trad and their food is as close as you will get it mexican without going to Mexico. They are the best in food, drink and yes they have a gold mine in Cecila

Los Galans Mx Restaurant #1 food in Mexican Town!

by Carmensita at Citysearch

This is the real taste of "real" mexican food. I am amazed people actually compare this authentic Mexican food with TacoBell or other places that know nothing about real mexican food! There is no comparison! There is a full menu and Margaritas to die for!

But remember, you get what you pay for! If you order a cheap Margerita, you will get a cheap margerita! Try the Cadillac Margerita-Awesume!

The manager by the name of Joyce needs an attitude adjustment and needs to stay away from humans! This women is alway angry and quick to jump down your throat or defensive all the time but don't let her keep you from enjoying great food!

Blue Margerita is not the same owners and NOT the same food! This is a completely different restaurant with completely different food. Sure they are related but clearly you can taste the difference in the food!

• Pros: Great Authentic Mexican Food-not TacoBell imitation
• Cons: Joyce is alway on the defensive!

Nice clean atmosphere, great buffet, good prices

by nbdiaz at Citysearch

We went there as a church group from Goodrich MI, several Sundays ago. We called several hours before going and they were able to make reservations.

The luncheon buffet was great and a good way to try things. They make tortillas right as you enter and that is quite nice indeed. The tortillas you get are fresh made. Next time, I will try their fish tacos.

They have an outside sidewalk patio, at which to sit would be fun. The day we went it was in the middle 90s so the indoor atmosphere was nicer with the air conditioning. Although there were several people sitting outside in spite of the heat.

I thought the bathrooms were inaccessible to wheelchairs because they were down at the bottom of several stairs. The waitress, who was very nice, took me to another bathroom on the main floor that was ample and clean. It did not have a lock but others knew to knock first before entering.

• Pros: Good food, friendly service, clean establishment
• Cons: None

This restaurante is a true hidden treasure.

!Alimento excelente! The manager was very pleasant with this Gringo. The smell, originality, and genuine Mexican cuisine was superb. I especially enjoyed the buffet; there was more than enough to choose from. My elderly friend, Don Rogelio, who took me there, just laughed as I went back for seconds, then raised eyebrows and told me, "Stay away from scales." Los Galanes is a bit out of the way for an occasional traveler but one needs only find "Little Mexico" and ask for location. Very worthwhile and I recommend Los Galanes very highly.

• Pros: Unparalled Mexican food
• Cons: On must watch the scales, easy to gain weight here!

A Latino Night Club!

by dante248 at Citysearch

I visited this establishment last night for the 1st time with a friend and a married couple who are Mexican that just relocated here. I had no Idea such a place existed here in Detroit! A Latino Night Club! Soy latino y ha vivido aqui toda mi vida! We enjoyed ourselves very much but we did have a few bumps in the night. We arrived around 10:30pm and it took a while to find a table until we got help of a waitress. The lady of our group was approached by a drunk early on in an uncomfortable manner, but we laughed it off. Then while my friends were dancing, another drunk guy sitting at the table next to us came and took their two chairs. He was rude and want to start something with me but the waitress helped us again and found us new chairs. The server did and excellent job in making sure we were ok.

My single friend that came with us is a "gringo" and he enjoyed himself too. English music with a Latino flavor like Pittbull, Daddy Yankee, and Colby O'Donis feat. Akon made him feel included throughout the night. My Mexican sister-in-law suggested "Los Galanes" but has never been herself. I am glad everbody gets frisked at the door!

I would definately visit again, and I'd like to try the restaurant as well.
