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.

This establishment refused the service of Police officers. This sort of discrimination cannot be tolerated. Very disheartening.

Food was horrible and they refused to serve DPD officers who were working the pride festival they were serving food at.

The vegan tea tasted like powdered plastic. We left it at the table and couldn’t finish it. Also, we had asked for the order to go but they gave it to us on a plat no big deal. We couldn’t finish everything so I went up to the side of the food truck to ask for a box but before I could even ask the chef looked at me, shook her head, and immediately just shooed me away. I understand you’re busy but you didn’t even let me ask for a simple box.She was so dismissive without even knowing why I approached her. Unfortunately, this was a huge turn off for me and my family visiting from New York. I get being a chef is stressful, but you’re in the hospitality business and should not shoo away customers before they can even ask for a simple request. This attitude really left a sour taste in my mouth and will not be returning.

12 out of 10, this is hands down the best food in the land, authentic tacos but plant based, these unpretentious vegan tacos go the hardest and I actually think about them when i wake up sometimes. Chef Rocky is a magician. Huge fan, only hoping for the best for their establishment. My personal faves are cheesy jalapeño chorizo taco, “fish” taco, and fried avocado taco. All the sauces slap. We finally just had the “duck” fries and they were insanely delicious as well. I’ll stop, but do yourself a favor and hit up Nepantla

These tacos are a delicious art. The mushrooms were fresh and so tasty. Being celiac, extra care was taken on the clean side of the grill. 10 stars ⭐️

Shalom Shramitarians, It’s been a minute since I’ve enlighten you all on great places to catch a breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner vibe on the Shramitarian wild side all over the states and abroad coming to you really soon. Let’s get into it this is one of my favorite taco spots in SW Detroit to be exact, When I say this is NEPANTLA a small business with a large ambition in the kitchen ? they cater to Plant Based, Shramitarians, Vegans, and even your brother who likes Taco Bell ?. Yes this is a food truck but it’s so much more of a experience like dating your food and the relationship with their tacos is on the verges of engagement they have a few new options that I’m sad to say I didn’t get a chance to experience but I’m sure it’s as ? as my usual go to’s to go, That would be a fire ? Fried Avocado ? ? Taco Scroll through the pictures and videos I showcase below to check them out, as far as customer service it’s as top tier as the food’s representation very kind ppl I’ve had the pleasure to have conversation with the owner who accommodated me immensely I appreciate you for creating this opportunity to indulge in a taco lovers dream coming true. I’m excited to tell you they have Mexican street corn and some lemonade that will tantalize your taste buds with the highest quality ingredients, so as always stop by their tell them Shram sent you and also save me some and in-joy
