    Let me start by saying this place is fantastic. We went in group of 7 on Cinco De Mayo. Wait time no more than 5 minutes! Every last staff member was so pleasant & helpful, the prices are very reasonable, very clean place. The food 10 stars hands down. To top if off you get a homemade HUGE cookie for dessert. I would say anyone that visits Mexican Town needs to visit this establishment.

    Evie's was so great! I stopped in for the first time the other day to grab some tamales for a pot luck picnic. I ordered a dz each of the pork, chicken, and cheese/jalapeno tamales, along with containers of both mild and hot salsa. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and the food was awesome! Everyone at the picnic wanted to know where they were from. Best of all, the total was in the low 30s! I will definitely be back-- thanks, Evie's!!

    Over 50 years ! Delicious Homemade Tamales are insane !!! Melt in your mouth . I Buy em by the dozen ! I've been going here for the most authentic Mexican melt in your mouth food you can eat. I've been going here to this 'family owned' restaurant since I was a kid. I'm over 60 now. This business has stood the test of time and filling lunch orders by the boxes daily throughout downtown Detroit offices ! They got real Tamales! Say's me BP !
