Had the privilege of having lunch at Neplantla today! This is a vegan authentic Mexican food experience you will not find anywhere else in Michigan (I have been vegan for over 6 years and have not found another place like this). I got three tacos: the el pastor, brisket, and fish. Rocky is a very talented chef! The way she had figured out a ways to turn mushrooms into beef/ pork like options and a fricken banana blossom as fish is just culinary talent. The flavors with delicious. The presentation was beautiful with all the different colors from various toppings that were used. Sorry I didn’t get a pic because I gobbled it all down it was so good. Also, Rocky was so cool and personable and took the time to chat with me for a bit while I enjoyed my food. I will definitely be back again!

Wow! 10/10 a serious must-try!
Ordered this while apartment hunting since my boyfriend and I are relocating from St. Louis, and I’m so glad I did. The food was absolutely delicious, and I can’t wait to come back once we’re officially moved in! Pictured: the quesadilla and fries.

If you love Mexican food and are vegan you must visit Nepantla. This is hands down the best vegan food I have tried as a non vegan. I frequently drive here for my vegan husband and he loves it too. I'm honestly not sure what's better the food or the service. It's only open on weekends but definitely worth the wait.

This place is to go for all vegan and vegetarians. I would also recommend meat lovers to try this food truck in Mexican town. We tried all the tacos on their menu. Our favorite were Birria, Brisket and stuffed jalapeno. We also tried their drinks, they were also well made. Loved their vegan duck fries and the street corn as a side.
We were so hungry that we couldn’t get pictures, but promise to click next time.
Also tried their mango and lime sorbet. They were very smooth and not too sweet with a dash of spice topping.

I was able to try Nepantla at Harvest Fest, and it did not disappoint. The al pastor tacos were so flavorful and the texture was amazing!

Had multiple tacos from here during Harvest Fest, the chef recommended the al pastor with fried avocado… sounded wild to me BUT i could see the enthusiasm from her. I live in detroit and i truly mean it when i say this was the BEST taco i’ve ever had. They were very busy and you could tell they were stressed but still made an enormous effort to accommodate us snd make sure the order was perfect. They deserve all the recognition and i can only hope that my next visits are just as great. 10/10

I lived in Austin for years so I've become a bit of a taco snob, but I was thrilled to crush these when they were set up at Two Birds in Detroit. I will be following this place around so I can fulfill my next fix. After a nice bike ride and a swim, there's nothing better than a taco platter and loaded mock duck fries.

I don't know what happened. The food use to be good. The last few times was disappointing. No longer worth the price.
