Review Mexican Fiesta II - Canton Michigan

Since we recently reviewed Mariachi Mexican Restaurant and it really sucked, we thought it was time to add in a good comparison. In fact it is only a block or two away. If you have driven by the intersection of Ford and Sheldon you have likely seen the packed lot at Mexican Fiesta II. A packed parking lot is always a good sign of good food. And yes, the place is busy in the evenings. But normally wait times are manageable (less the 20 mins). Mexican Fiesta II doesn't disappoint. (At this point you might be wondering if there is a Mexican Fiesta I, and there is. It's in Dearborn Heights, never been, but I expect it is as good as II)

We have been going there for several years and the food is always good. The service is excellent. Another sign of a good restaurant is that the staff has been there for a while. We see the same waiters and waitresses time and again. Everyday they have afternoon lunch and drink specials, there isn't usually a wait time at lunch. You get chips and salsa included as your starter with all meals. For $1.50 extra you can get hot chips. They give you mild and hot salsas in little carafes which you pour into small bowls. I like to mix the 2 and add a little salt. Prices are very reasonable, under $10 per person.

Recommended dishes are Steak Fajitas for 2 @ $17. It might even feed 3 as we always have left overs. One of the only places I know that gives you mushrooms in fajitas - yum. We just order Steak Fajitas, but on the menu it is Chicken and Steak. The chicken is ok, but the steak is awesome. So we just order it as full on steak. And this is not the fajita steak you get at any other restaurant, the steak is thick but tender and very flavorful. Chicken Enchiladas are really good. They must own stock in a dairy because they don't diddy daddle with the cheese. Enchiladas come with a tasty coleslaw and some good mexican rice. In fact I always sub coleslaw for anything that comes with beans there. Not that the beans suck. I just aint a beany person. They have tons more dishes and really I don't think we have ever been disappointed with a dish there. Did I mention the fried ice cream is good too :)
