9 Best Taco Restaurants near Auburn Hills

“Right by Oakland University on Walton Road. Got the veggie California burrito. Just superb! Perfect blend of roasted veggies, refried beans, rice, guacamole, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. They brought out a complimentary plate of nachos, which were a delight. Two options for salsa; I mixed the two for a perfect balance. And they give a 10% discount for OU students! The atmosphere is also great, with traditional Mexican music in the background.Vegetarian options: They are open to making just about any dish vegetarian. It was just perfect. I’ve been to some Mexican restaurants that have no idea how to do vegetarian, but El Fogon knows what they’re doing!“

“At first glance everything seems to be on the expensive side but the food was delicious and everything tasted fresh. The tortilla chips were fried to perfection and the cilantro fries were amazing with the dipping sauces they came with (we tried the chimichurri and the chipotle ranch). The mini churros was a nice way to end the meal and my leftovers were just as good the second day. We will be back again for sure!“

“Excellent Tacos! Great chips and salsa. Prices are also good for the amount of food that you get. Bring your shopping list because it is also part Mexican grocery store. Also, when we were there, they had a door open (probably to keep the kitchen cool or something) and it made the dinning/grocery store cold. No matter because the food is excellent.“

“Carryout is SO FAST! I order online often and the drive thru is SO convenient and my order is always ready within the 5 minute drive it takes me to get there. Excellent and consistently good. The chips are fresh and include a large bag, fish and avocado tacos are always great as well. The house marg is good also“

“Don't let the looks deceive you. What a gem.Staff was awesome, along with the tacos.I got the Birra, Asada & Carnitas tacos. It came with a side of grilled onions, grilled jalapeno, half a lime, 2 containers of homemade hot sauce and birra broth.I can't wait to return to try the rest of their menu.“

“Stopped by for a quick dinner on a Tuesday night. The place wasn't busy, so the staff was able to give me plenty of attention. These are down-to-earth folks; easy to talk to and very friendly. The food was fantastic! I had the sliders and fries, and not only did the food taste good, but it was presented in a subtly unique way. I highly recommend The Alley Cat!“

“Had the Taco Trio ($12.00…. Great deal!) with Fried Beef Birria tacos, they were excellent! The trio comes with your choice of taco, rice, beans and since we had the Birria tacos it also came with consume to dip the tacos in. So much flavor, beef was very tender!Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“

“I see this truck almost daily, and it has been on our food quest to finally try it. I know Birria is trendy at the moment, but it is so good! This has hand down won the best birria in Michigan so far that I have tasted. The best thing was the quesobirria taco trio that came with the broth. The broth is good, you can drink it like a soup when you run out of items to dip in it. The tacos were fresh, cheesy, meaty, crunchy, all of the right combinations a taco should be. The birria meat is quite succulent and tender, very well flavored. It also came with a nice flavored red sauce. Not sure what is was, had a nice mild spice. We also got the birria pizza. I'm obsessed with birria pizza concept and this is a good one. It came with the consume broth, limes, a green sauce (maybe tomatillo?), and a red sauce, both sauces had a nice spiciness, plus some sour cream. I have not had too many of these, but this is the best one so far. We also tried the birria ramen, which was meaty cheesy noodle goodness. I would order all of those again. We tried the aqua fresco de jamaica, which I did not love, but the horchata was good. We ordered the street corn. It was okay, but excessively salty with not enough cheese or mayo, and it seemed to have tajin, but no chamoy. But when I ate it the next day, put on more mayo, some parm and mozzarella cheese, and it added a whole new level to it. The individuals here are very nice. They made the food in a sufficiently fast amount of time. They have a variety of food on their menu with daily specials. I would like to try their vampire taco and their torta next. The only thing about this place (that other people have commented on too) is that it is a bit pricey. So we spent quite a bit on what we ordered. The taco trio was $16 and the pizza was $27. But would I recommend those items? Yes. Would I personally order them again? Yes. They were that good and this is definitely a truck to watch out for or come find.“

“We had the pleasure of trying this taco truck when it recently visited our subdivision. We had to try a lot of the items and they were all tasty.Birria tacos were nice and cheesy, with tender meat. If you buy 3 you get free consome, but this dip wasn't our favorite, we definitely preferred their salsa instead.Speaking of their salsa, we asked for the hot and it was pleasantly warm, full of spice and flavor. One of the best salsas I've eaten in my life.Pork tamale was good, I can envision buying a half or full dozen.We had two traditional style Pastor and Barbarbacoa tacos that were both fulfilling our Mexican traditional taco craving.We had an asada torta which was our least favorite item because it was a soft texture throughout the whole sandwich. Wish there was a crispness or something they could modify. Just felt a bit mushy.In total, we will definitely have to check the truck out in its normal spot for tacos(traditional or birria) or tamales with that tasty hot salsa!“
