Angelinas Mexican - Allen Park

This restaurant was always my favorite place to get takeout. I’ve been doing so for years since my boyfriend introduced me to it. I usually order the chimichangas because they are THE BEST compared to anywhere else in or around town. But the last THREE times that I have ordered takeout chimichangas from here, I have found a wooden toothpick skewer INSIDE of my chimichangas. Not on top. Literally inside, blending in with the chicken. The first time, the pick was shredded and I had bit down hard on it. It was painful enough that I had to schedule a dentist appointment. I couldn’t tell you how many slivers of wood I may have eaten that day, but I’m sure it happened if they were small enough bits. I saw it as an oversight and didn’t care to call and complain. The second time, it was the entire pick, luckily unbroken. I was a bit frustrated that this happened a second time, so I had my boyfriend take a picture and he said he would visit and notify them of this oversight. (See picture with hand holding pick) Today was the final straw. I included the receipt, which specifically states to take the toothpick out because it has happened two times too many already. And I also included the photo of me literally finding it after cutting into a portion of my chimichanga (typically about halfway into the meal). I will honestly miss getting the chimichangas here, because they really are the best chimichangas I have ever had, but I’ll never order food to-go from here again. I’m sure the dine-in experience might be different, but I wouldn’t know. *Side note, they forgot the lettuce on it today and it ruined the pallet.

When we arrived, all the tables were dirty, and we had to wait for them to clean some. The service was quite disappointing. They mistakenly included the wrong meat in my wife's dish, so she had to reorder. Our waitress was very slow and didn’t seem to be efficient. She didn’t refill our drinks and also failed to bring more salsa as promised. The food was just average; we’ve had better Mexican cuisine at Mexican Gardens, which I recommend instead. We probably won’t be returning.

The Americanized Mexican food was decent—nothing extraordinary, but it wasn't bad. I would definitely consider trying it again.

Food was awesome as usual and you do get a lot of it. Always recommended!

Regular carry-out customer and I'm always impressed with both the food and the excellent counter service. My orders are always correct and the food is always Great! Highly recommend the Allen Park Angelina's!
