39 Best Mexican Restaurants in Detroit

“love love the pork tacos!! best in Detroit“

“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 BBQ chicken ever! I would literally go here just for that. They also have great tacos! I highly recommend the pastor, carnitas and barbacoa tacos. It’s super small inside and not many seats so there can be a wait time. But it’s well worth it! This place is a little gem in Detroit. Oh and like others have said- the green sauce is delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I had the pleasure of visiting el parian 3 and it was an incredible experience! The tacos were packed with flavor—fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. I tried chicken tacos every bite was amazing.

The service was friendly and quick, even though there was a bit of a line (which speaks to how popular they are!). The salsa options were on point, especially the [mention your favorite salsa]. Bonus points for the affordable prices and convenient location.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area! Can’t wait to come back for more.“

“Susie, the owner, is amazing—funny, witty, and such a joy to talk to! All the tamales are absolutely incredible. Highly recommended! We’re from out of town and will definitely be back just to get more.. Cindy and Travis“

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

“For over a decade a Taco Trailer with no wheels sits outside a large Air Condition Dining Room on Central just South of Michigan Ave. Every dish comes with Sauteed Onions and Jalapeno w Salsa too.
This place hopping all day long and at dinner time after 5pm the dining room and parking lot filled. The very best all Meat Burrito 😋 any place in Metro Detroit, just look at the photos. I had the Campachano Burrito mixed Steak n Chorizo WOWED, no rice or beans. Just packed with Meat Onion Cilantro n Creama a mega Deal. She had the grande Chicken n Cheese Quesadilla a real winner on the super cheap. Hey this $17 bucks for both makes this a must try 😄. Most places getting $12 for a Burrito with little Meat stuffed with Rice n Beans, I want to taste the Meat. Two different Green Salsa Verde marvelous creamy the very best. We been customers since opening, truly a Classic Detroit hidden Gem. Gringo's can't find this place, they missing out on Authentic Mexican food. #tacoselprimo

“always quick, great authentic tacos, love the quesadillas🤌🏽 friendly people! worht it every time“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great food and service, highly recommend“

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

“So today was my first time at this spot. At first I wasn't overly impressed with the location. So that had me wondering how the food would be. So I gave it a shot, glad I did I have traveled the 48 states and have seen a lot of people attempting to replicate Mexican food. These guys definitely hit the nail on the head. I will definitely be returning. Only reason I dinged this place is due to the fact when I walked up to order my food the music was so loud that I couldn't hear the guy talking a little respect when taking orders would compliment this place above a 5 star

Parking: The parking lot is shared with family dollar“

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

“These tacos are everything!👍🏽🙌🏽😁♥️🤤“

“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.“

“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).“

“Hand made Tortillas, that’s awesome“

“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⭐️.“

“muy sabrosa la comida,recomendable“

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

“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.“

“I always get the breakfast #1 eggs over easy, the bacon sausage and white toast. But the restaurant is under new management. Now on the menu is also Mexican food. It really looks tasty so I think I will be going back in the near future quite often ??“

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

“Good food , goods service.“

“El único lugar que tienen de todo, riquísimo por cierto“

“la comida estaba delicioso 😋 gracias“

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

“Best humans in Detroit! Been going here since 94'. They've always been delicious! My loyalty is here. Im originally from Phoenix so eating around this area is difficult for me, a lot of places a very tourist tasting if that makes sense.

Wheelchair accessibility: No ramps or stairs. Easy access.“

“Shrimp quesadilla was great“

“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“
