El Nacimiento is a smaller, well decorated mexican restaurant in southwest detroit, featuring a bar and daily happy hour prices. I've been here a couple times and first tried the chorizo tacos, then al pastor. Now, chorizo is usually my favorite meat to put in tacos, but at this restaurant I found it to be rather underwhelming. Despite it being oily, characteristic of chorizo, I still found the taste to be rather dry and not the strongest flavor. So last time I went I went for al pastor tacos instead and I would say this was definitely better than the chorizo! Well flavored, tasty, and a decent amount of meat put on the tacos. I also ordered margaritas both time I went here and I recommend this if you are a tequila fan and are okay with a less sweet margarita! I convinced my friend to get one and since she is not the biggest fan of the tequila flavor she did not enjoy it, but that's on her. Definitely expect a stronger drink with less sugar and juice added if you do order from the bar. Now, onto the service. Last time I went, although there were not many customers and several servers, it took quite a while of us sitting there to even get our order taken. Now, I was not in a rush or anything so I didn't mind this at first, but when I wanted to order another drink it definitely bothered me that I was not checked up on at all throughout the meal and could not get servers attention without audibly calling for them. I will say though, despite brief, the interactions I did have with the staff they were incredibly polite and friendly! Just would've preferred them to be more attentive. Note that this restaurant does have a parking lot & free chips and salsa for customers (and even made cute St patricks themed chips for the holiday!)

One of my favorite Mexican restaurantsThe Red Snapper is everything ??Vegetarian options: There are a lot of non meat options ??
most days, this is a pretty decent meal. But I noticed that the quality has declined significantly . I ordered the huevo Rancheros. The eggs were absolutely inedible. The food arrived after about forty minutes. Then we ate for about 20 minutes and then another hour to get the bill and check out. I have not had this experience here before. So I was really shocked that the restaurant was running in this manner. No photos attached because the food was not photo worthy.

My parents and I dined in on Saturday at 7:30ish. This restaurant seems like it's constantly busy, and we even got the pleasure of hearing a mariachi band play(!!) for 3 minutes before they randomly took a break and loitered right outside of the bathrooms... Our waitress probably came over to our table a total of 4 times during our meal, always apologizing for disappearing on us or forgetting something. We had to get our own to-go boxes and find a different staff member to help us pay our bill. The chips were stale and cold, and my mom's chicken milanesa was bland. We tried some fries topped with pork (I think), and everything was soggy, but seasoned well (if you want incredible birria fries that aren't soggy, try antojitos!!). My birria tacos were fine. Nothing to write home about. If you want food and service that will satisfy you, look elsewhere.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taqueria El Nacimiento, and I can confidently say it's one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever experienced. The flavors were incredibly authentic, and each dish showcased the chef's skill and passion. The customer service was top-notch, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The cleanliness of the place added to the overall positive experience. If you head to Taqueria El Nacimiento you won't be disappointed!
