Armando's stays open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays (until 2 a.m. the rest of the week), and the post-bar crowd that spills over from Dearborn and downtown Detroit's clubs can choose from the regular Mexican fare-or Mexican breakfast. They roll in at 2-3 a.m., and, depending on what's happening, there can be a line outside at 3 a.m. Owner Cecilia Benedict approves of the late night crowd, and says watching buzzed patrons, churlish lovers and new friends can make it worth working late.

The move from the original location on Junction to roomier quarters on W. Vernor has brought Elda Castellanos and her family more notice. Her Central Amercian fare includes pupusas (tortillas filled with beans, cheese or pork or a mixture of all three), shredded chicken with olives, capers and red peppers, and chuchitos (miniature pork tamales), and is augmented with Mexican fare. Unpretentious setting and service. ***

The menu announces that Juan’s is the home of the flaming fajita. The flaming fajita tops the price list and comes with three small tortillas and a plate of beans and rice. These were excellent fajitas, with lots of charred green peppers and onions, grilled chicken and steak, well seasoned. It was great fun to watch our server pour brandy around the perimeter of the cast iron griddle and set it aflame with a click from a barbecue lighter. The liquor gives it a mellow flavor. Go ahead and splurge for the extra cheese ($1) because the flames melt it so nicely.
