“One of the best food trucks among many others in the area.
The food is always hot and fresh and delicious. The employees are on top of things and get you your food really quickly. In at least a dozen times that I've come here my order has been perfect every time.“

“My family of 8 were there Friday night @ 5pm . Food was sooo good. But... our waitress was excellent as well as the other staff. They welcomed us and we felt they really appreciated us being there. :) 👍“

“Great flavor tacos, you can take out or seat, the seating area is large enough so you don't feel on top of each other.

The chiles asados (grilled peppers) were a nice compliment.

From the outside it looks sketchy but it was pretty good 😊

Forgot to mention that this is a cash only place, so be aware of this.“

“After Opening Day at the Tigers game, I headed to Southwest Detroit to try a new taco truck. I came across El Parian #3 on Vernor and struck gold. I had the chicken burrito with all the ingredients. The tortilla was perfectly chewy and was filled with chicken, jalapeños, cheese, rice, and sour cream. It came with chips and two kinds of salsa. Delicisoso. I’ll definitely go back for more.“

“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.“

“Our server Jazzman was great and very professional … on top of being “Stunning” Food was absolutely delicious ‼️“

“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. 🌈🌈🌈“

“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.“

“I love the food here. If I can I make my way to here everyday. This is my secret burrito location. Don't tell nobody! Every morning these beautiful ladies open up for an early bird such as myself at 5am. You can't go wrong with the Deshebrada Burrito with everything on it. enjoy“

“These tacos are everything!👍🏽🙌🏽😁♥️🤤“

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

“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 food and service, highly recommend“

“Went there today around 4pm for dinner, hadn't been there in a few years. I had the #1 Combo, alot of food and it was delicious!! My strawberry margarita was fantastic, shout out to the bartender!! Waitress was busy, but service was good; seemed she was the only waitress for room we were in (room with long bar that ran width of the room).“

“I love trying new Mexican places, especially the whole in the wall... mom and pop places. Everything is homemade. NEVER ever had a salsa that tasted like theirs. I am a hot fan... it may be a little spicy for some. This place has been here for 43 years. Well they are in a new building. They were a few over, but there was a fire and now in a new building. What drew me in was the pictures on how they hook up the tostadas. To my surprise they actually have the goooddd tacos. MmmmmGo bless/support your local, small places. This is cash only establishment and they are opened everyday 10 to 7pm.“

“Taco Tuesdays! Their tacos are excellent and 10 for $10! The el pastor is a favorite, but the chicken is very good too. Haven't been disappointed with anything from here.“

“I’m always hesitant to try new food trucks. It’s usually really hit or really miss.I was blown away by these tacos. The sides were good and I loved that they repped faygo for drinks but my tacos were truly explosive. Was hoping to go back the next day but then realized they were only open Sundays.“

“Love their food. It is delicious and friendly. Their micheladas are great!“

“muy sabrosa la comida,recomendable“

“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.“

“The country tacos are very delicious. What did I eat? My friend didn't like them that much.
The fajita guy said they were ok, what they do have is also very delicious are the sauces and as we know a good sauce makes it too. Some good tacos, in the same way I recommend the place so much that I have returned 3 times and always with my effective and safe tacos campechanos“

“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⭐️.“

“Excellent fresh food. Friendly and attentive servicers. Can not wait to go back. Pork tacos are delicious.“

“The restaurant was really nice and clean. The service was good too and the food. Our waitress was really nice and polite, food came nice and hot and was really good. I had some beer and that was good also. The bill wasn't too bad either for 10 people. I would recommend it to anyone who loves Mexican food.“

“Hand made Tortillas, that’s awesome“

“I'm not sure what the other reviews are talking about. The customer service was amazing. Food came out quick as well. Maybe they just have a hard time when it's busy, which is understandable. And they try their best to keep things neat and clean.Also, I'll update this if I end up vomiting in the middle of the night like one of the other reviews said, lol.

Vegetarian options: You can get beans or potatoes.“

“The steak tacos are my favorite with grilled onions in a folded soft corn shell. The dinner w/ beans and rice makes it a complete meal.“

“Update 7/10/25: We had another good experience during breakfast. Food was served quickly. My wife said the chicken and waffles was awesome. I had the same dish as before(se pics) and it was just as good as the 1st time.

Pleasantly surprised! Stopped by while our car was being serviced. Our waitress was great. Very willing to recommend items when asked. She came back to check on us several times and the food came out quick once we ordered. It was very tasty and we will be coming back.“

“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.“

“Excelente !!!!! Para una buena estadía y tomarte algo refrescante“

“Good food , goods service.“

“Beef and cheese enchiladas are my jam. Evies has what I like.
Evies is very nondescript but the food is very good. Chips and salsa are delicious as an appetizer while waiting for your order. When dinner /lunch is over, the wait staff brings a large platter with various cookies as a complimentary free desert.“

“la comida estaba delicioso 😋 gracias“

“Shrimp quesadilla was great“

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

“My husband and I tried out Nuevo Seoul for the first time and had a nice experience. It’s a cool setting, the service was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the food. We would eat here again.

Dietary restrictions: I have a gluten allergy, and they were really helpful. They double-checked the ingredients in the proteins I was considering and helped me find something safe to eat.“

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

“My family and I visit Mexican Village because of the family connection from many many years ago, I remember running around the restaurant as a young child sixty years ago. The place is very dear to all of us. We where treated so greatly and the food hasn't changed its still the best! My hats off to all the employees of Mexican Village thank you so much.“

“Muy bien servicio recomendado“

Must try this place if you are in the mood for Mexican food“

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

“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!!!!!!“

“Everything about this spot was on point! The people were nice and the atmosphere is so cool love this little road side Haven!

Parking: Small lot but not crowded it is off a one way alley so be aware so you don't go the wrong way.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat parking lot but has gravel so be careful and may be hard if you don't have help.“
