Changes for the bad 10/2/2009

Was an avid fan 30 years ago. Went back to taste my favorite dish the botana. Much, much, much smaller portion and has radically changed. The food order came quickly but was missing an idea. The waitress only came back to clear the table and drop off the check - so I told her to delete the missing idea and which she disappeared again. Finally came back to give us the check and said she would take it so I said here is the payment and she disappeared again. Memories were great but will never go back again. I Pros: quick service Cons: lousy food and bad service more

Good service. 8/6/2008

It behooves me how someone visiting from Southern California would actually seek out a Mexican Restaurant in Detroit and expect great things! I grew up in Detroit. In the early 70?s, my girlfriend and I went to El Nibble Nook on Grand River a couple times. Having not experienced Mexican food at a nice sit down restaurant before, we thought the food was wonderful! The servers were dressed in cute black outfits trying desperately to pass as senoritas even though most of them were Italian. The flavors of cumin, cilantro, lime and garlic were lacking but were substituted by hot sauce and red peppers. At that time it didn?t matter. Spicy food and alcohol satisfied our ethnic cravings. more

Great service, strong drinks, good food 6/24/2008

We were greeted with a warm smile by the hostess and seated immediately. The waitress (Michelle) was very friendly and brought out chips and (mild) salsa immediately. I had a margarita, which arrived in a too small glass but was actually quite strong. The food was served promptly (my california had loads of cheese and shredded meat, my friend's tacos looked excellent) and the waitress checked back with us for refills an appropriate number of times. Not too often and not ignored. Just right. It was an excellent deal. Well priced. I would go here again! Pros: Good food, strong drink. Cons: Unassuming location on the outside, pretty boring on the inside. more

bland and tasteless, service decent 2/20/2008

This used to be a great restaurant long long ago. It must be surviving on it's reputation alone. Now, the food is so boring it will put you to sleep. I am still searching Metro-Detroit for a decent Mexican Restaurant. more

Avoid eating there on any day that end in 'y'. 10/11/2007

This was probably the worst ""Mexican food"" I have ever eaten. We are from So. Cal and have eaten at many, many Mexican food restaurants, this was by far the most bland, tasteless food ever. Pros: Ummmm......... Cons: VERY Pricey and not good food more

Not bad. 1/27/2007

I have eaten at el nibble nook at least 15 times. I have tried about 10 different things from the restaurant. All I can say is that everything is average. The service is very good, and there are lots of choices on the menu. Yet, in all my efforts I have not been able to find anyhitng on the menu that I really love. Nothing is bad, but I cannot finish my meal and think to myself man that was great, I want to come here again next week. The rice and beans served with the meals seem like they are out of a can. There are a couple things that are good though, the cheese crisp is good, and the cheese dip for the chips is good as well. more

The best Mexican food for miles and miles; even their sister restaurant on Hagerty Road and Pontiac Trail is not as good as the original. Best food, best Sangria wine, best service. more
