Michoacana HOU 41

The michoacana has a universally awful system of doing takeout orders. You pay for your food at a cash register up front that checks groceries. This cash register doesn’t have a menu. This cashier may or may not speak English. She gives you a ticket and you walk it over to a short-​order counter where your order is filled. You hand your ticket to a little Hispanic lady working the grill. This cook does NOT speak English. Now I am a big proponent of immigration, even the kind most don’t like. But if you’re going to face the public learn some English. At least enough to communicate without me having to ask another customer to translate everything. This lady lost my ticket, said I had not handed it to her (which I could not prove because I handed it to her and no longer had the ticket) and told me it would take ten more minutes to prepare my food. She was visibly upset, complaining in Spanish, and threw the tray she was putting food in into the trash. I just walked away and asked for a refund. Nunca coming back-​o aqui-​o!

This is a small Hispanic market located in a shopping center with a dentist, USCIS application center, beauty salon and other small businesses. The location is conveniently located off the 45 service road and close to Highway 3. Their home made tamales are delish and ditto for their prepared meals. Staff is friendly, helpful and their selection is extensive considering their small size. I like their candied fruits (from Monterrey); they’re off the charts.
