Los Galanes

We chose this place because I read the good reviews prior. It was fairly empty inside which surprised me for dinner time on a Thursday. Our waitress was kind and we ordered delicious margaritas while we waited for our other friends to show up. Everyone loved their choices. I had the beef chimichanga. It was ok, sort of bland but tolerable. Large portions so we all had boxes to go. I'm glad we tried this place but I'd definitely try somewhere new next time we're in the area.

It was hard to choose which Mexican restaurant to eat at in the "little Mexico" area of Detroit. We picked Los Galanes because of their patio. The patio offered plentiful seating but the chairs were just cheap plastic and not the most comfortable. The service was polite and attentive but slow at times. We did visit during lunch time on a Friday so we expected delays. The foot traffic was pretty consistent and the salsa served at the table was flavorful with the right amount of spice, so we were hopeful that the food would be good as well.We ordered the enchiladas mole and botana. The mole was pretty decent, not too thick and was adequately seasoned but there wasn't nearly enough on the dish. The beans and rice were not to par with the mole, so those were left on the plate. The botana was beautiful but the flavor was lacking. There was no chorizo in the dish as described and there was just no flavor to be found. The dish was fixed by adding sour cream and lots of salsa. I'm not opposed to stopping in the area again but will look for other food options next time.

Pretty gross overall. Place was pretty dirty and food was bland and generally nasty. This is a bottom of the barrel Mexican restaurant. Still looking for a good one in Mexicantown!

Cool, relaxed ambiance and fun decor. Very spacious inside. Lots of seating and the tables are spaced out nicely. I felt like we had a lot of privacy. Clean bathrooms. Excellent service. Brian was very attentive and kind to my table. I enjoyed my cheese enchilada suizas. The green salsa was very good. I also enjoyed the red salsa that came with our homemade tortilla chips. Nice kick and flavor! The panchitos were a great appetizer. The house margarita was done well and I enjoyed my Havana rum drink.They have their own free parking lot, which is a nice perk.Fun place!

This feels so suburban. I wanted Mexican food. My husband got to pick which spot. We've never been here, so despite the lower Yelp ratings, I thought, why not?My parents loved what we brought them. My husband and I thought our picks were tastyish enough. Love from us, though? Eh. It was alright.Not terribly cheap. Gosh, I miss the old days when you got a bargain and much tastier food as a reward for hauling your ass into the city. Not anymore. It wasn't outrageously priced, but it wasn't any cheaper from outlying areas either.The dining experience could have been had in Canton or Northville or anywhere. There was nothing special. Nothing that wowed. No must-have dishes on the menu. It was just your ok run of the mill Mexican joint. Which is fine. Just not in Mexicantown.

First off we got right in on a Sunday , stopped in for a quick bite to eat after walking around Mexican Town . Got the small botana for lunch and split with my wife . Was tasty and full , peppers , olives, beans , avocado and onion ....the chips and salsa fresh as can be definitely my favorite place in Mexican Town

Stopped in today for some authentic Mexican food and was honestly disappointed. The decor is nice but restaurant smells like rusty pipes. The server was okay seemed alittle annoyed at beginning but lightened up by end. The food lacked flavor. Steak tasted like it was marinated in beer and threw on grill with no seasonings. Only good thing was the refried beans. Unfortunately won't be returning here unless they make some much needed improvements.

I absolutely love their cheese queso! Very good food, the pitcher of Margaritas is a little pricey.

Well, that was outstanding. I had a wet burrito which was delicious. Grandson plowed through his street tacos and Mama loved her chimichangas. Now, she has a preference for chimichangas and said this was second to that, I had (past tense) a favorite for a wet burrito (same restaurant) but I felt this surpassed this. One thing we both agreed on was how incredibly clean the restaurant is, even the window sills are clean as can be and when people leave a table sweeping in part of the table clean up. Very impressive. I did not go five stars because our server was a bit on the slow side but regardless we will be back-I just wish Mexicantown (a Detroit gem) was closer than 60 miles from home.

I wouldn't call this "authentic" Mexican, more like Mexican for a Midwest palette. I ordered a vegetable fajita expecting peppers and onions, and instead got a strange assortment of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, and the smallest bit of onion and peppers imaginable. I was flabbergasted. The vegetables weren't well seasoned either. I literally couldn't eat it.The service and atmosphere were good enough. I didn't have any issues there.
