    Short rip Taco and cauliflower app was so good! The food was well priced and had great flavors. I would of given 5 stars but we had to wait a little to get someone to wait on us and there was loud clashes every 10-15min at the bar loud enough to make you jump a little. Otherwise it was a very cool place, and service was great after we got a server, vibes were great for a casual drink and app before a night out downtown.

    Hello, We're glad you enjoyed the short rib taco and the cauliflower, they are for sure some of our best selling items on the menu! We apologize for the wait for on the server, we make an effort to keep the wait time at a minimum however we will be addressing this. We will also be addressing the excessive noise behind the bar. We hope to see you again soon! -Sean Byrski (Manager)

    Went before a Red Wings game. Host, server and runners were really on their game. Cordial and attentive. The food is good..the menu is limited. My seasonal margarita was delicious. It is LOUD - difficult to hold a conversation but the atmosphere was fun. Recommend it but make a reservation for the best possible experience

    Bakersfield - DetroitResponded on December 3, 2023

    Janc, Thank you for the positive review, we strive to make our service as best as we can so it's nice for it to shouted out for that! It is best to make a reservation, however we do offer walk-in accommodations as well, on busier nights there can be a little bit of a wait however. We hope to see you again soon! -Sean Byrski (Manager)

    Everything we ate was FANTASTIC. We did the queso to start and then did an assortment of tacos with the chicken taquitos and they were all great. Seasonal Cranberry ginger margarita really hit the spot as well before heading to the Redwings game!

    Very slow to seat with 30 minutes behind the reservation time. Drinks order taken immediately by the manager as short staffed but took forever to get to us. Food brought ought at good time but very quick tour of the specific tacos. Staff really made us feel like we were wasting her time to even ask. Had to ask twice for plates and utensils after food delivered. No one came back for drink requests and had to flag down another server. Tacos and appetizers good but service atrocious. Not coming back anytime soon as much better spots in the D.

    Pork on the carnitas taco was so dry and crunchy it was inedible. Very loud atmosphere when full if you like that kind of environment. The other tacos we had were good. Service was ok - asked what kind of fish was in the fish taco - the answer we got was- a cousin of another fish - and the waitress was serious! Food is priced good. Just needs a few tweaks in the carnitas and waitresses answers about the menu!

    Bakersfield - DetroitResponded on November 11, 2023

    Thank you for the informative review Sheila. I apologize for the inedible carnitas and the lackluster knowledge of our menu from our service team. We will be sure to emphasize the importance of our menu knowledge. As for the fish, we use Cobia. I appreciate the insight and we will only grow better! We hope to host you again in the near future! -Craig Davis

    Food and drinks were amazing, as always. We asked to have 3 groups seated by each other since they couldn’t accommodate our large group. They said they would do their best. There were several open tables all next to each other, but instead they split us up in completely opposite ends of the restaurant. Service was slower, a few details were missed (like not enough napkins, no silverware for our shared sides, etc), but they were busy so we just asked for what we needed.

    Bakersfield - DetroitResponded on November 11, 2023

    Thank you for the informative review Katherine. I apologize that your group was not able to be sat all in the same area, for larger groups we do suggest giving us a call at (313)974-7040 to ensure a proper sized table in the future. We are working hard to ensure we hit all steps to service and I apologize that your latest visit we missed a few of our details. We will be sure to remind our staff of these crucial details. We hope to host you again in the near future! -Craig Davis (GM)

    Food was meh, service was horrible. The tables are so small and not once through the meal did our server or manager clear the empty glasses or empty dishes. Had to ask for water twice, called server over for drink refills, order from kitchen was wrong and never got dressing for salad. Very loud.

    Wonderful! Great ambiance, delicious food, and speedy service. The reservation through OpenTable was easy, and our table was ready promptly at the time reserved. Our server (we think his name was Payton?) was attentive and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed all his recommendations. The pineapple margaritas with Tajin rims were refreshingly fruit-forward, and the short rib queso was cheesy excellence. The shrimp taco was a standout. We also enjoyed the restaurant’s gift of birthday tequila shots for the table!

    We had a reservation for before a hockey game. It was extremely busy but we were sat on time. The service was okay, but the food was excellent and a great value. I totally see why it is always so busy and would definitely return! I would recommend a reservation on weekends or before events- it was about a 2 hour wait for walk-ins.
