31 Best Mexican Restaurants in Detroit

“best truck in Southwest Detroit“

“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“

“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!!“

“We returned from a long day at the grand opening for the Centennial Park downtown. We were parked at the Bagley Mobile Unit Parking structure, which is across the street from this food truck. We ordered the birriaqueso tacos and the asada fries with a guava Jarritos. Everything was hot and top-notch delicious. Would recommend and definitely going to eat there again!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

Even if you're not in the area this food is worth the travel the $ the time. it's a great addition to the full line of food trucks In the Detroit metro area. I'll seen pictures next time I was starving last visit... and Da Bomb was at the right place at the right time. Keep feeding us!! Go Lions“

“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“

“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).“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Hand made Tortillas, that’s awesome“

“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⭐️.“

“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.“

“I had an amazing time at La Palapa! The atmosphere was fun, the service was excellent, and the food was full of flavor. Their margaritas are hands down the best in Detroit!“

“muy sabrosa la comida,recomendable“

“If you want traditional diner feel and prices with authentic Mexican flavor and taste, check this place out! Its fantastic. Whether regular coffee or their spiced coffee- its delicious! I have a preference for their Mexican/Mexican-influenced dishes. Ive been twice, both times tried something different, and neither has missed. Service is fantastic and you couldn't ask for better prices. My advice, go early, this place gets packed quick.“
