La Finca — Restaurant in Genoa Charter Township

I am from Southern California, so I am quite judgmental on places that serve Mexican food. Y'all LET ME TELL YOU. La Finca is SO GOOD. My whole family loved it and it really felt like grabbing tacos from our favorite place in SoCal.

We tried items across the board-- tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and extras. All of it was made well, and was absolutely delicious. Also, something to note, they actually make burritos THE RIGHT WAY. Something about Michigan Mexican food is that they put cheese and lettuce and other things ON TOP of the burrito and it drives me insane. Burritos are meant to be portable. Huge, but portable. La Finca does it right. Thank GOD.

It is a little chaotic in there right now, because it's new and honestly so good. Still, the chaos is worth it! The restaurant itself isn't very big-- just a few tables. But I will say, take out is also completely wonderful. I live 5 miles away and it was still hot and delicious when I broke into it at home.

The cost is a little on the higher end, especially for takeout and no extras. There are delicious local sit down restaurants that aren't as pricy. We actually ended up going to one over the weekend instead of La Finca so we could save money.

I would LOVE to see a salsa + extras bar like my favorite place back home, with different levels of heat, pico de gallo, extra onions, cilantro, limes, and the pickled carrots/onions/jalapenos. Those types of things.

I also would literally do anything for breakfast burritos. Anything. I haven't found a single place within a huge radius of Howell that makes them, and my soul is crying out desperately. Breakfast burritos would make my family and I so incredibly happy. I don't mean breakfast wraps, or taco bell food, I mean real, amazing, huge, delicious, breakfast burritos. Especially available all day!

My family and I love La Finca and can't...

I love my mexican food and eat at mexican restaurants frequently. The food wasn't bad, but the salsa is bland. Ordered a couple of beef birria dinners and a chicken burrito to go. Tacos were decent, but the burrito was more bean and rice than chicken. Gotta give 1 star to the atmosphere and 2 for the service though, because there really wasn't any service. Most mexican restaurants you sit at give you chips n salsa. We had to buy ours. And when the gal did bring them to us, she brought us squirt bottles with salsa...no cups or bowls. So we're suppose to squirt the salsa now and not dip and scoop. That was definitely a first. There was no AC either. Mind you it was 87° today. So not only was it scorching hot, no AC, but the 8 ft windows that cover the front of the establishment made it seem like we were eating inside of a tanning bed....not even joking. The pops we ordered were piss warm by time we got our food. The dining experience was horrible. To top it off, why even ask for tips when we have to walk to the register and order our own food? Like I said, food was ok...nothing special. Just thought I'd bring the wife to try a new restaurant. ...

FINALLY. Quality Mexican food in Livingston county! Great for take out. A lot of Mexican restaurant in the area defaults flavorless boiled chicken or ground beef with lettuce and cheese on flour tortilla.

The chirzo and Carne asada tacos were flavorful and a bit mild, but the green and red sauce sent it over the top. The green sauce is a flavorful creeper and the red sauce will burn your lips and bring that HEAT (got me sweating and I love it)

The quesaburrias were delicious, the rice and beans were great with some red sauce stirred in.

The horchata was the best closer for all that flavor. Sweet, sweet nectar of the gods.

My boyfriend and I used to live 5 minutes down the road from the most delicious authentic taco truck down south and since moving to Howell we have been on the hunt for somewhere that compares, and this definitely does!

I don't write reviews often, but I really want to see this place thrive. My boyfriend and I will singlehandedly keep that business running on carryout alone...
