I have eaten here tons of times but until now I neglected to write a review. The place appears to be in an unappealing part of town, but that shouldn't discourage. The service is amazing. The portions are big and the service is superb. For $17 you can get two grilled whole fish. Where else can you get that value... More

The Chicken Shwarma is to die for . The service is great and reasonably priced . I would highly recommend the El Mayor . The rest rooms are always clean which says a lot about their kitchen

If in Windsor save a trip to Dearborn. The place is a little over priced but their food is great. They have seating space for a large parties as well. Convenient location and parking at the back. The dessert menu is also nice.

Last week the wife and I had an early dinner at El Mayor. We arrived around 4pm on a Friday. The restaurant was not busy. Only 2 other tables of guests besides ours. The hostess/waitress greeted us promptly and seated us at one of the booths. My first experience with the food at El Mayor was with take out food.... More

It all depended on the Kibbi as to whether we would be back. Needless to say the Kibbi as well as all the other food we ordered was great. Already told my family to plan our family gathering at the ElMayor for next year. Between now and then, I'll be visiting The El Mayor whenever I take my Windsor family... More

We eat here every chance we get because this type of cuisine uses such fresh and healthy ingredients and we can always get lots of vegetables, which is sadly missing at most restaurants. Also, these are dishes I would never attempt at home, and I consider myself an above average cook. The hummus is smooth and full of flavor and... More

I've visited twice, and both times were excellent. The felafel wrap and platter are both terrific. The veggie sample platter is also delicious. Friendly staff who are happy to answer "what is this item on the menu" questions. The restaurant is huge but it still feels surprisingly cosy.

After hearing many raving reviews, we tried it. Can honestly say, that i didn't love the hummus and i love hummus. Everything else was okay.
