“best truck in Southwest Detroit“

“la comida estaba delicioso 😋 gracias“

“This place is a hidden gem—if you know, you know. 🙂

Since the first time I tried their tacos, I’ve been hooked and keep coming back. The shells are perfectly crispy, the meat is always seasoned just right, and honestly, no other place compares. You can tell everything is made with care and fresh ingredients.

This review is way overdue. The menu is small, but everything on it is high quality and done really well. I don’t even mind the 45 minute drive for these tacos—they really are bad ass! The service is excellent, everyone is friendly and welcoming, and they always make you feel like a regular.

I always look forward to the weekends just so I can drive over for their tacos and ramen. The ramen is comforting and flavorful, and the tacos are consistently amazing every single time. This business deserves 20 stars—it is my number one taco place! If you’re thinking about trying this place, do it—you’ll be hooked too.“

“We showed up with a group of 16 on a Saturday morning and they welcomed us in. Got us seated all together. Service was excellent! Numerous ppl made sure our drinks were full, food came quick to the table after we ordered. The owners son checked on us numerous times. Super affordable and tasty!“

“Delicious homemade food… wonderful staff open air tables. Great service!“

“Shrimp quesadilla was great“

“los mejores tacos 🌮 estilo mexicano 🇲🇽 y su gran variedad en platillos“

“I wanted my family and I to try a new & special place to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and this place was amazing. Beautifully plated, ultra-delicious, special flare, authentic food. Kind & friendly staff. Cool atmosphere, family friendly. Easy parking. Proud that this place represents our Mexican heritage. No gimmicks, everything about this place made me feel like I actually was in a modern day restaurant in Mexico.“

“Hands down best steak taco/burrito I've ever eaten. It's worth venturing to. It's pretty inexpensive too. Spanish is spoken and cash only. It's easy to miss because it's in the parking lot behind tall fences that say farmers market right on the corner of Livernois and Toledo street.“

“Al 100 los tacos, quesa birrias, lo que se antoje excelente calidad y sabor 100/10 excelente servicio y trato 💯🫡 Havent found a better place than this as a true mexican i gotta say this the best one around for sure for sure shouts out to the workers too“

“We have driven from Saginaw 2 hours away for the last five years to eat these authentic tacos and other Mexican delicacies. They are authentic and amazing. Totally delicious and a must try if you want real Mexican food.“

“Great new add to the downtown Detroit restaurant offerings! Korean/Mexican fusion. Bone-in short rib burrito and birria grilled cheese were both off the charts. Also excellent service. Chef stopped by our table and gave us the full story about the restaurant. Highly recommended!“

“Ive been doing alot of devleirys off fort st in Detroit. Food is better then most restaurants ive been too. Hands down these guys know what traditional and quality means. 👏 I usually stop here once a week.“

“You know this, spot has been around for a long time. I don't think there's any tamales in town that stand up.“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch. What a great experience. Friendly service and delicious food. Love that green sauce!!! Also, I love being able to support my neighbors. Lovely family. 🌈🌈🌈“

“These tacos are everything!👍🏽🙌🏽😁♥️🤤“

“Best tacos I’ve gotten from a taco truck in southwest Detroit highly recommend the crazy fries“

“Everything about this place is great!! Don’t be fooled, primos tacos on Dix and tacos el primo on central are NOT the same thing !! They are two different food trucks owned and operated by different people. Personally this has been my go to place for years now. I love their quesabirrias 😋“

“Absolutely delicious if you haven't been here you are missing out 5 stars 💥💥💥💥💥“

“Great food! Been here many times, and always have a good experience. However, they charged gratuity on a party of 4, so be careful. I tipped on top of their 16% added into my bill. Waitress of course didn’t mention the added cost and I didn’t notice until after the fact. Seemed odd for such a small party, but feel they should warn us while paying“

“Up until tonight, which is New Year's Eve and also my birthday, this restaurant has been my favorite place to eat. Not only is the food spectacular, but the service has always been perfection...until tonight. Usually, the staff is so attentive, and I never have to remind them to bring anything. Tonight, so many things were forgotten and/or incorrect. The server had to be reminded twice to bring us bread. The butter was frozen, so it was impossible to spread, and, in the past, the butter was always room temperature, and that detail was appreciated. Next, my drink was forgotten and the server had to be reminded. My husband requested that his drink be served with dinner which it wasn't and delivered to the wrong person. My friend's meal was incorrect, so she had to sit and watch everyone else eat as she waited. The restaurant did give her a complimentary soup for the mistake, so that was nice. What was probably most upsetting was that we requested dessert plates for cupcakes that we brought and the server told us that we would be charged $20, just for using dessert plates! We weren't asking for a cake to be cut or served, just plates to put our cupcakes on and it was a $20 charge! Absolutely ridiculous, especially since we were a group of 7 that ordered drinks and dinner. So, we had to have our cupcakes in the parking lot. Last, the server told us that they could not split up a bill, so we had to sit there figuring out all the math, and the server used the cash that was part of his tip from one friend to reduce the balance from another friend's bill who was paying with a credit card. It was such a mess, and I was very disappointed. This used to be my favorite restaurant for years, but with so many mistakes, it's hard to want to come back, which is a shame because the food is amazing. My advice is to not come for large parties! I hope management fixes the training of their servers. It used to be outstanding. Not sure who dropped the ball so far.“

“An absolute gem in Southwest Detroit! Went tonight with a party of six for my nephews birthday. Everyone raved about their meals. Hearty portions and reasonable prices! The service was 5⭐️.“

“I love this place, they have the best Tacos and salsa and you can wash your hands before you eat. 😋
They are open till 10.
It is semi private and there is plenty of parking. I like there are lots of salsa options. They have radishes, avocado salsa, pico de gallo, potatoes, it's gives outdoor taco picnic vibes . 🌮“

“Discovered a new way to eat raw oysters on the half shell; Ceviche topped raw oysters. Very tasty!! Thank you; Others tried various seafood in Mexican styles.“

The food came out quick and flavorful .

A bit oily for my liking, but still good.

I ordered the grilled chicken salad and a Asada taco .

Both were filling in the salad had a great portion of lettuce and chicken!“

“Amazing fresh food, authentic Mexican! Best Cadillac Margaritas!!!“

“Asked to purchase a certain drink that I love that they make. Thought I was going to get a pitcher or something and I get a whole cooler!!! They always make things convenient for the customers. Truly amazing people and wonderful food!!!!!!“

“The best little authentic Mexican spot I’ve experienced! The barria is unmatched. The food, price, staff, service, and owner attentiveness is exceptional. I highly recommend dining in. They also have a drive-thru. The cuisine is on point, plenty generous on portion size, and quick service.“

“Great vegan food that fills you up and doesn’t leave you feeling hungry. Rocky and their crew never disappoint. If, by chance, the burger is available, load it up with the fried avocado.“

“Omg first time coming here my son dad kept bragging about this spot saying I have to eat the Mexican corn and also the mango chili it was awesome I had to share it.The two ladies there was very friendly love it please go check them out on junction st. In South West Detroit off Michigan“

“I had a fantastic experience at this Mexican food truck! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The service stood out as well; the cook was friendly, attentive, and quick, which made the whole rainy day visit even better.

The outdoor setting is charming and adds to the relaxed, inviting vibe. It’s a great spot to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family. And the best part? The prices are amazing—great quality food at a budget-friendly cost. You really get your money's worth here.

Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and craving authentic, tasty Mexican cuisine!“

“good place, there is quite a lot of people, not crowded though. There were plenty of seats available but the bar seats were taken. I got the burger I'm sorry if I didn't take a picture of it before but I ate that up. Pls go there it good“

“Amazing food, excellent customer service, and you feel like family!“

“I can honestly say I wasn't expecting much. Its a burger from a gas station. But let me tell you, it was almost a religious experience. I took the first bite of the simple smash burger and I didnt process what it was I was eat. The second bite, I had to set the burger down to appreciate what was going on. The bread was warm the meat was salty and spicy and hit the umami sweet spot. The smash burger had the crunchy edges but still had that firm meat bite. It was easily the best burger ive had in the last 15 years.“

“Pollo Chapin is a fantastic little lunch or dinner spot in Southwest Detroit. If you're expecting traditional Guatemalan food, there are a few staples like tamales on the menu, but the real star here is the fried chicken. The chicken was cooked fresh and was absolute crispy and delicious perfection. The side dishes range from french fries, to salads, to black beans, all of which are enjoyable. While I waited for my meal, the restaurant also provided a cup of flavorful chicken noodle soup, that puts the typical bland versions of the dish to complete shame.Worth noting that the restaurant has it's own parking lot and the dining room, while small, had several four-top tables for seating.“

“My favorite taco truck in Detroit highly recommend“

“Came through after work and tried out their signature tacos my friend recommended i loved it and i also really liked the 12 Burrito it was amazing and thanks to the friendly staff that helped me figure what i was eating for Lunch💯❤“

“Very Nice Food! Good service“

“Great food and very easy to work with. We had them at our graduation party, they were amazing!“

“We love the Taco Madre Truck! We love this as our after church dinner spot in the summer. We started coming before they had the current beautiful outdoor seating area. The food is absolutely delicious. We usually do the birria tacos and birria pizza but we have also tried the chicken and asada tacos and the elotes which are also great! It is cash only so come prepared.“
