Michael, the bartender, was so awesome! I came in toward the end of the night. No one was there, but they treated me like a queen and let me make all kinds of substitutions. He even served me hot lemon water while I waited.The ambience is awesome. Nicely decorated for Christmas, lots of light coming in and very clean.

This place is alright. I had been eyeing it every time I'm in the area and I finally for a chance to try it. My dear friend and I treated ourselves to an extravagant lunch.The highlight of the meal, which is not to be understated, were the portion sizes. We started out with the Mojave Sampler and this could've fed both of us. We still had our entrees coming and knew we had an uphill battle if we wanted to finish (we just took leftovers home). I got the molcajete for my entree, already fighting for my life after the sampler platter, and this was another huge portion. The food was okay, flavor wise. Everything was pretty standard. Nothing blew me away, nothing was horrible. The ambiance is pretty nice, especially the patio outside. Would be a great place to get margaritas on a summer night. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Food is good but is a little overpriced. They are quite busy and they have a bar. The wait time for the food is a little slow at times but worth the wait. Friendly staff. Overall a decent menu.

Review for South Lyon location. First of all I didn't get the "Hooters" vibe some reviews claimed. Salsa was good. It's mild. Chips unremarkable. Salsa size guacamole was $9.But this is what I took away from this weird meal. The sauce on the enchiladas tasted like Ragu. It was very Italian in flavor. This is confusing to the palette because I kept feeling like I was eating ravioli or spaghetti. The flavor was so off. This is definitely not authentic Mexican food.

Not bad not great just ok. Why is it so hard to find a good Mexican place ? it's not like the food is difficult to make most kids can put a taco together. Chimi wasn't crunchy more like elastic and chewy. Nothing great about beans and rice, tostada chips thick and cold nothing special. It's just ok I won't go back and i wouldn't recommend it, but hey that's me

We went there Saturday around 3pm to avoid crowds. Pro: We liked the interior. There were lots of seating. The service was friendly. Good presentation of food. Con: The service was a bit slow though there were not many other customers. Food was a bit bland for us. We would go back again, but we would avoid peak hours. About $70 for 2 meals, 1 cocktail, and 1 beer.

Visited for the first time on a Wednesday evening with a friend for dinner and we sat on the patio. It was trivia night which was also a nice surprise! Service was a little slow but our waiter was very kind.We ordered margaritas immediately and I got a yummy mango margarita on rocks. They provide free chips and salsa!! For appetizer, we ordered the Mexican pizza which was so good! I got the fish tacos for dinner and they were delicious as well. I find the rice and beans at Mexican restaurants are usually bland but Mojave seasoned both very well. I went home with plenty of leftovers for a light lunch the next day.Overall I highly recommend checking out Mojave Cantina! I love seeing all these new restaurants in South Lyon; I will definitely be back!

I really enjoyed this place when it first opened. I became a frequent regular. I came to discover that the bar staff was my favorite bar staff I had found at a small establishment. They then proceeded to get rid of everyone and I have only been back twice since. Once a manager was filling in as bartender and did such an embarrassingly bad job that I couldn't justify leaving a tip. And the follow up experience with thier new bar supervisor was not good either. If I return it will be because I'm desperately hungry for Mexican cuisine that I don't feel like cooking or dragged there with a friend. I don't think this place will last long tbh. It's overpriced for South Lyon and the people that work there are not personable
