" Great spot for sharing small plates! Iron Horse's nachos are truly a highlight, and we also loved the street tacos we ordered. The atmosphere felt lively and welcoming, perfect for hangouts with friends. The service was friendly but a little chaotic as it seemed understaffed that night, which led to longer wait times. Regardless, I’m excited to come back for another round of delicious tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit, I was really looking forward to some authentic Mexican food but felt let down by the blandness of the dishes. My birria tacos fell short, lacking in traditional flavor profiles, and the prices felt a bit steep for what was offered. However, the cocktails were refreshing, and the service staff was undeniably friendly. Not sure if I'd rush back, but there might be other options worth exploring. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my experience at Iron Horse. The food was fresh, and the taco offering especially delighted me. The service was fast, though one server was a bit curt. I appreciate that there are diverse menu options; that's a big plus! It's a lively spot, perfect for date nights or group outings. I recommend their enchiladas and margaritas. I'll be back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though I found the location of Iron Horse to be quite appealing, I was blown away by the inconsistency of service. While some staff were delightful, others seemed preoccupied or in a rush. The food was decent, but having high expectations, I was slightly disappointed by the lack of authentic flavors. I might try again to see if they hit it out of the park next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a spontaneous stop at Iron Horse after a long day, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. It was bustling but cozy enough to feel relaxed. The nachos with beef were a perfect starter, and we moved on to the chorizo tacos, which were delightful! Our server guided us to some drinks that paired perfectly with our food. A bit more attention to detail in service could elevate this experience, but we left happy! " (*Curated Review*)

" A very successful dinner at Iron Horse! The flavors are bright, and we especially enjoyed their margaritas. The service was solid, despite the restaurant being busy. The music added to the atmosphere as well. I’d love to return to try out more of their unique offerings. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied and happy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Iron Horse certainly had its high points. The nachos were by far the best I’ve had in Royal Oak—crispy and flavorful! On the other hand, the tacos were missing that authentic taste I was hoping for. We were there for a friend's birthday, and the service was friendly, albeit a bit slow. Overall, an enjoyable night, but I'd be particular about what I order next time. " (*Curated Review*)
