1. Zorbaz Pizza & Mexican Restaurant

Reviewed By Bowmanator22 - Charlotte, North Carolina
Everyone in town seemed to recommend Zorbaz, and they have a unique menu, so I decided to give them a chance. I got the chips and salsa, and added the green Chile dip as well. The Chile wasn't as good as you may find in New Mexico or Colorado, but pretty unique up here. I also got the burrito, which was gigantic. The chips came quickly, but the burrito took a long time to come out. I'd go back, but no regularly if I lived in town.

We stop by every year for a pitcher of cold beer and their Nachos. Very good value, especially with a coupon!

Pasta, Steaks, Seafood, great apps and cocktails with a spectacular view! What more could you ask for? We had such a great time the first night- we came back the next night for dinner as well! Fine dining with small town prices. Extensive list of Craft Cocktails! I wish I could try them all. Highly recommend the Happy Hour and apps. Great service!
6. Miguel's Tacos

They recently moved--I'm not sure if this is their new or old address. The new location is very close to the old. This place is awesome! I can't believe no one has reviewed it already. Excellent food, fast service.

We read the glowing reviews for Miguel's Tacos & had to try it. Once will be enough! We had soft chicken tacos, crunchy beef tacos, & Chimi. VERY BLAND MEAT & CHICKEN! NO FLAVOR NOR SEASONING! VERY disappointing! I cannot believe if those writing great reviews have really EVER eaten excellent Mexican food! We have eaten Mexican food from Mexicans, wagons, restaurants all over the states. Guess their cheap prices prove that you get what you pay for! Never to return!

We had lunch here on our last day in DL & I'm glad we did because it ended up being one of the best meals we had. Since it was a Tuesday at lunch it was very easy to get a table but I've heard it can get very packed on the weekends. The food was great & the service was very good too. We'll definitely back.

I love the Detroit Lakes area, especially downtown. This is a quaint, old-style diner. Service was great. Food was good, but not great. They do what they do well, but not better than anyone else. I would definitely eat there again.

Don't order the walleye. Really surprised how management handles a problem meal. Two of our group ordered the much talked about Walleye meal the restaurant is noted for in reviews. Complete disaster. The fish came out overcooked and dry. You actually had to cut it with a knife. When we mentioned it to our server, she came back from the kitc5and stated "that's why we recommend you don't request blackened seasoning". What....she never said a word when it was ordered. Blacken is a seasoning and should no affect the fish! Management's solution to the meals was to give a free $6 dessert to them. Now keep in mind, they only spoke to one of the diners. Dessert comes out with 6 spoons. Shock on everyone's face. We asked to speak to the manager. Asst Mgr came out and asked if they weren't happy with their meal why did one person eat it. Becuz he was hungry???? After a bit of discussion they did take the 2 425 dinners off the bill, but it really wasn't the nice family dinner we had planned. Maybe should stick to pizza.
