What a great, authentic atmosphere to enjoy some of the best tacos I’ve had in a long time! It’s right in the neighborhood and everyone was so nice. Our server Martha was so lovely and attentive. I can’t wait to go back!

Not sure how it’s a 4.2. This is some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had in the Midwest. Moving to the area from the west coast I have missed some solid food choices. I have found a few and this one is up there in flavor. Had Tripa, Pastor, Carnitas, Suadero and Tinga and in that order for my favorites.

Always exciting unique delicious food, straight outta Jalisco Mexico via Sw Detroit. Open 6 years now on Lawndale and Avis in Sw Detroit a hidden gem hard to find. Nancy and Wicho own three restaurants and five food trucks. Outstanding Crispy Carnitas Taco's, the crispy part not found many places. Queso Fundio be Hot Bubbling Cheese and Chorizo Yummy 🤤💯. A bowl of Jalisco Style Charro Beans with Hotdogs, really hard to find Marvelous 😋. She had the Beef Birria Egg Rolls with Consume for dipping 😋. Holy Wow so unique and Addictive a must try 😀. I suggest you change the name to Tequila's, you have one in Roseville and Kalamazoo. Wyandotte location closed and Los Arcos Allen Park Closed. You must change the name of this place No One can remember or pronounce as two different names. You could triple business with a name change Tequila's folks can pronounce and remember. I believe without the days are numbered for this location. @nancyfdiaz12 @taqueriaelparian @wicho.81 #taqueriaelparian #birriaeggrolls #crispycarnitas #charrobeans #quesofundido

Food never disappoints. In my opinion, best Mexican restaurant in Southwest Detroit. Actually in the Detroit Metro area.

I catered a tray of 30 tacos half were steak other half was chicken. By far the worst steak tacos we’ve ever had. Even our guest complained about the fat in them. The amount of fat was unreal after having to pick out the fat out of them there was barely any meat left. So disappointing it’s not like we didn’t pay $80 for the food. Will definitely not be coming back again or ordering from here again.

This is now my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. Best tacos. Birria is fantastic. Chiles rellenos are phenomenal. Will keep coming back for a very long time.

The beers were burnt. The tacos were swimming in grease. They were salty, the sauces were bitter, they don't know how to make guacamole, and it was also salty and bitter. If you have a discerning palate, I don't recommend going there because the food is terrible. I went because the place was recommended to me, but I think they played a bad joke on me.
