“Omg the best Mexican restaurant in Mexican Town and don’t forget to try the Raspberry Margarita!! I eat here every time I come to Mexican Town to shop for my spices and groceries!!“

“best truck in Southwest Detroit“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“If you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos, this is the place in Detroit metro area, this my favorite taco spot in Michigan so far, great variety of tacos and bring back the memories from Jalisco, the service is great!
I recommend tacos of; Birria (beef shredded slow cooked), cabeza ( beef head), tripas (beef intestines extra crunchy), lengua (beef tongue).“

“la comida estaba delicioso 😋 gracias“

“Today we had brunch at Eve’s for the first time. Eves’s certainly was a hit for myself and the pickiest eater I know! He raved all the way home about how awesome his omelette was, great flavorful tasted made perfectly, he’s praised! I couldn’t agree more presentation, flavor and deliciousness of our food was worth the trip! We’ll be back.“

“Great food and service, highly recommend“

“Great place for Great food. My buddy Allan will fix you up a great Margarita.“

“The food price for a botana about 7 years ago used to be 7 or 8. The price now is 15. But its same size, nothing larger. There was no beef in the botana. My order was suppose to have a side of rice and beans, I only received rice. I suggest going somewhere else for botana.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Muy bien servicio recomendado“

“We always looking for the real taco food and finally find this one! The owner is really nice and friendly! We drive all the way from Toronto and I can say this is the best taco we ever had. We truly recommend this place, it’s convenient for anyone visiting ford museum but want to eat something in between.“

“I was really impressed by this resteraunt. The service was friendly and very fast. The food arrived very quickly, was delicious and the portions were enormous. This is the best Mexican food I've had in many years. I look forward to coming back.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“🌮 Exceptional Food and Warm Service at Tepa Grill in Detroit!
I just had one of the best experiences at this grill, and the Taco de Camarón (Shrimp Taco) I ordered was absolutely divine!
First, let me praise the amazing service. It was freezing out, and the wonderful woman working there insisted that we stay warm in our car and offered to bring our order right out to us. That level of kindness and thoughtfulness is so rare and truly appreciated!
Now, for the food: The shrimp taco was honestly perfection. It was prepared beautifully—the toppings were so fresh: the shrimp, creamy avocado, and cool cucumber were incredibly vibrant. I especially loved the great crunch, and the hit of fresh lime brought the entire dish together flawlessly. Every bite was an absolute delight.
If you're looking for delicious, authentic food served by truly kind people, you have to stop by. I highly recommend trying one of their Tacos de Camarón! I will definitely be back to try more options.“

“Steak birria tacos pretty good, id love to have that option in a burrito or over nachos.. definitely not taco bell, but definitely not authentic Mexican either. But I was pleased with my order and will go back to get the same thing or another taco. Thanks Mo and Adam“

“I do not give five out of five stars lightly. Authentic street tacos are my favorite food.Over the past four months this has become my go to spot on Mondays for lunch tacos. The Al Pastor tacos are simply amazing. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is really cool. Not cool like hipster cool but no frills. I’m here for the food not an art show. I have tried every taco they make, and every single one has been simply delicious. I have had dry tacos and other places where you had to add sauce because they were so bad. Here, the sauce enhances the taco, but is not necessary. I have also tried other menu items here. Notably the Menudo is delicious. It’s interesting because they do not put harmony in it. I’ve had it in other places, but this is definitely in the top three Menudo spots that I’ve had. The prices are reasonable as well. I love this place.“

“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“

“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⭐️.“

“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.“

“Hand made Tortillas, that’s awesome“

“amazing food and experience.“

“This is by far, the best place to have goat birria tatemada estilo Jalisco!!!! The place is no longer called Centro botanero, it's called El Gordo's Birria. It only opens Saturday and Sunday and it's always packed!!! I know birria is a trending dish nowadays but everybody makes it with beef which is fine but I love the flavor of the goat birria!!! The dish is served with handmade tortillas and a special homemade made hot sauce that only enhances the flavor of the birria!!! I'm salivating just by telling you all!!! Delicious!!! Gordo's menudo is also a great choice. You have got to go!!!“

“I found your tortilla chips at our local latino grocer Dos Hermanos in Westland. I now buy them weekly along with their salsa verde. Yours are the absolute best chips. The perfect texture, thickness, and flavor.“
