Mi Zarape

Literally a hidden gem in front of Marriott Centerpoint. I've been coming here for years because this place has delicious, authentic and reasonably priced Mexican food! Great margaritas and a huge food menu. They offer great lunch options priced very well. Don't worry they will continue to fill you up on chips and salsa during your entire stay! That's the best part about eating at a Mexican restaurant. This place has been undergoing a name change for the past few months so if you see/hear of El Toro, that's this place. My favorite dish is the steak fajitas (they even offer a lunch size!) they have a great seasoning and they are such a great value. The best is asking for extra shredded cheese then covering your fajitas in it...melts quickly and tastes heavenly!

Was here for dinner with a work colleague and the set-up looked very tired and outdated, but that wasn't reflected in their food at all.They have an exhaustive menu and I picked the Chicken Fajitas ($11.49) without the tortillas and got salad instead of the tortillas. The server was kind enough to give me some extra gauc with my salad. The Fajitas were really good and had a nice flavor to them. I wish they had some spice level though. Guac wasn't that great but overall the food was pretty decent.Service was really quick and food arrived within 15 mins of us placing the order.

NOPE! No.... absolutely not, never again. Stopped in to see if I could find a new restaurant to recommend to my friends, I'll never be back. Service was good when I first got there, promptly took my order, food came out fast.... then he promptly forgot about me. ‍I ordered the combo with a chalupa, Chile relleno and a tamale... it's supposed to come with rice and beans, it didn't. The chalupa was what looked like cat puke, on top of a flat hard taco shell, piled with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and a splash of guacamole. Even if it didn't look like something a cat vomited, there was no way to eat it. Can't cut it, couldn't bite into it if you picked it up... ‍

This restaurant came highly recommended from several people and I finally had the chance to try Mi Zarape and was so happy I found a new and close dinner option! The chips were hot, crunchy, and delicious and I liked how they brought two salsas with five mini bowls, one for each person, to enjoy our own personal dipping experience. The service was quick and friendly. And the nice mug of beer was only about $3.50, and that was the regular price, not happy hour!I ordered the incredible tasting burrito Guadalajara and a tamale. Both nice portions, I had a big box of leftovers. My daughter ordered a taco and a tamale which she was able to get a la carte, which is nice since she doesn't like the typical sides of beans and rice. The menu is surprisingly big and diverse, so many choices. I hope that never changes since there were quite a few dishes we hope to try, including desserts. The food is priced right, we fed a party of five for $45, and that's after taxes including a beer! Not too shabby for a sit down restaurant.

I've had nothing but good experiences here. This would definitely fall in the "Tex Mex" category for me so I won't compare it to local authentic Mexican places. Compared to other local Tex Mex this is excellent - and they have a few more authentic/different/fun dishes on the menu as well. I've been going on my lunch breaks they are quick, clean, and the servers are always very nice. The first time I went I called ahead and ordered ahead for dine in to be safe - but it wasn't necessary they are always pretty quick. I've had a couple different fajitas and chimichangas so far with cheese dip - it's all been great. I have my eye on the Guadalajara burrito I just haven't made the leap yet - it looks a bit heavy for lunch!

Mi Zarape has become the place for my coworkers and me to celebrate birthday lunches. The restaurant is a hidden gem, surrounded by hotels and office buildings (aka you can't see it from Opdyke Rd; you have to drive a bit to find it). The outside of the building gives away that it used to be a former Denny's; however, the inside has been remodeled and fashioned into a Mexican restaurant. The best thing about their decor are their tables - all of the tabletops look like scenes from a bodice ripping romance novel, and it's one of my favorite parts of going there for lunch. Their food is good. Not amazing, but good. My favorite entree is their chicken fajita burrito (which comes with queso sauce on it. They're generous with their chips and salsa, their prices are reasonable, and their waitstaff is efficient and pleasant. I'll be back (probably next month; Judy in accounting has a January birthday).

Good Lord! Excellent place. Clean, inviting, and the staff is just fantastic. I will certainly be back! This place has been recommended by a fellow yelper brother of mine. We were headed down to the new little caesars arena in Detroit for UFC 218! And decided to swing in for the insane massive burrito Guadalajara!This will not disappoint. Or leave you wanting more. Do yourself a favor, and get one!

I am so glad we found El Toro (new name) because this place is a GEM. I'm from Texas and never thought I'd find good Mexican food outside of Mexicantown.. I was wrong. This place is incredible, authentic, and good-priced. The Chile relleno is the best I've ever had, not exaggerating. The prices are really reasonable for the amount of food you get. So glad we have this place in our lineup now!

Even if you are stuck at the Marriott looking for something quick and easy.....don't do it. Worst margarita I've ever had. Food was mediocre, and came out way to quick after I ordered.I thought these type of Mexican restaurants had gone away. Don't do it...you will regret Harding here.

Glancing at the menu, the Burrito Guadalajara sounded amazing. Queso shrimp, steak, chorizo, pineapple... delicious. I thought "No, can't do it too fat." Instead I asked the bartender what she recommends. Without hesitation, you already know what she said. No turning back at that point. It was damn good. Throw those ingredients in anything and I'll eat it, but this was surprisingly well assembled in addition to that.Go for a run then go to Zarape and get this dish.*Don't be one of those whiners about pineapple where it doesn't belong either. The sweetness cuts the salt and fat perfectly. I don't want to hear it!
