The Mexican Village Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

One word... loud!

This place is a good time, I've now been here a minimum of 3 times, and it's cool but very loud! The food is great, the queso fundido with chorizo is pretty good...I just wish there was more chorizo....lol so whatevs. We had the carne asada plate... which includes rice, beans, grilled chile, grilled green onion, pico, and guac...oh and I requested a chile relleno on the side

I dont trust restaurant beans ever because of a story I heard as a child...so I always make sure to let restaurants know that I would rather not have any...I ordered my meat medium rare....because yeah no to well done...

When my food arrived, I noticed beans, and the server declared that the meat was well done just like I asked....uhmm???...no! Politely I informed him of my requests and this man tells me that the way it was served was the way I asked for it...regardless I decided to stop engaging him at that time and I just told the very nice lady who took my order, she took it back and assured me that everything would be just like I asked....(This is great. Don't be that first guy)

Once my food finally arrived...it was delicious! flavorful meat, rice was perfect (I love mexican rice, wish I could learn to make it). The guac... was guac-ing...and the sauce over the chile relleno was magic! So good!

Minus that little incident everything else was perfectly lovely....by the time we were ready to leave...we couldn't wait to get the check because out of nowhere it got even louder...like really really loud, music, and parties at other...

I've been visiting Mexican Village since I was a young lad growing up in the comfy confines of suburbia. My parents weren't real big on visiting downtown Detroit, but for some reason Mexican Village was an exception. It's not in the nicest area, but I've never felt unsafe there. If you're worried about safety, don't be. They have security guards in the fenced in parking lots.

Aside from the nostalgia of the area (my Mom grew up not far down the road), the real reason to make the trip is the food. This is definitely my favorite Mexican food in the metro Detroit area. Why no 5 stars you ask? Well I have had better Mexican elsewhere in the US, namely closer to the border. My favorite is the Arizonian combo. It comes with a beef chimichanga, beef and cheese burrito, flour beef taco, beef and cheese enchilada, rice and beans all for less than $9. It's consistently good, and has plenty to fill you up. Service is efficient and the food always comes out quick. The chips and salsa are great, as are the margaritas! The menu is huge with traditional Mexican dishes, burritos, fajitas, steaks, soup, salad, and combo plates.

The restaurants interior is dark and inviting, with no windows, and some interesting artwork/murals. This is not some big box chain restaurant, it's old school and that's part of its...

I had been wanting to visit this place to do their karaoke for a while. When I went yesterday I had so much fun. The staff was kind and friendly and service was amazing. I had so much fun singing karaoke really badly. The drinks were so good that when I left I totally forgot my purse at the restaurant. When I called this morning to see if they found it the restaurant owner had it right there on hand. I went to the restaurant right away to retrieve my purse and everything was in it just like I left it ... I had a lot to drink and I was having a lot of fun. I'm so happy that although I was irresponsible and forgetting my bag the Mexican Village was responsible and held it for me to come get it the next day. I absolutely recommend this place...
