50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Hamtramck

“While I love the flavor of their food, the only time we've had an order 100% correct was the first time we ordered. Every time we order since then there's something missing, fries overcooked and hard, messed up items, and things added to what we've ordered when we've requested it to be removed. Thankfully I simply don't like tomatoes and onions and am not allergic to them, cuz they ALWAYS forget to remove the pico when my receipt even says "no pico de gallo". Their queso blanco and their Sabor sauce are probably the two best things about them, at least when they remember to include it even if you pay for extra. For how pricey they are I would expect to have my order correct all the time. I'll be going down to the taco trucks in Southwest Detroit from now on cuz they always get the order right, they're delicious, AND they're inexpensive.“

“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!!“

“Wow - just the best Mexican food!“

“la comida estaba delicioso 😋 gracias“

“best truck in Southwest Detroit“

“Delicious homemade food… wonderful staff open air tables. Great service!“

“We showed up with a group of 16 on a Saturday morning and they welcomed us in. Got us seated all together. Service was excellent! Numerous ppl made sure our drinks were full, food came quick to the table after we ordered. The owners son checked on us numerous times. Super affordable and tasty!“

“The best food and very kind staff.“

“You know this, spot has been around for a long time. I don't think there's any tamales in town that stand up.“

“Up until tonight, which is New Year's Eve and also my birthday, this restaurant has been my favorite place to eat. Not only is the food spectacular, but the service has always been perfection...until tonight. Usually, the staff is so attentive, and I never have to remind them to bring anything. Tonight, so many things were forgotten and/or incorrect. The server had to be reminded twice to bring us bread. The butter was frozen, so it was impossible to spread, and, in the past, the butter was always room temperature, and that detail was appreciated. Next, my drink was forgotten and the server had to be reminded. My husband requested that his drink be served with dinner which it wasn't and delivered to the wrong person. My friend's meal was incorrect, so she had to sit and watch everyone else eat as she waited. The restaurant did give her a complimentary soup for the mistake, so that was nice. What was probably most upsetting was that we requested dessert plates for cupcakes that we brought and the server told us that we would be charged $20, just for using dessert plates! We weren't asking for a cake to be cut or served, just plates to put our cupcakes on and it was a $20 charge! Absolutely ridiculous, especially since we were a group of 7 that ordered drinks and dinner. So, we had to have our cupcakes in the parking lot. Last, the server told us that they could not split up a bill, so we had to sit there figuring out all the math, and the server used the cash that was part of his tip from one friend to reduce the balance from another friend's bill who was paying with a credit card. It was such a mess, and I was very disappointed. This used to be my favorite restaurant for years, but with so many mistakes, it's hard to want to come back, which is a shame because the food is amazing. My advice is to not come for large parties! I hope management fixes the training of their servers. It used to be outstanding. Not sure who dropped the ball so far.“

“My first visit today, two beef tacos, they were very good, excellent service, clean, and friendly, love 'em, I'll be back.“

“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.“

“First time here with the family and was a great experience.
Fawzia was super friendly and should be your brand ambassador she made sure we ordered what we liked by letting us sample before we choose. Food was excellent. Noelle was very friendly as well.“

“This place is a hidden gem—if you know, you know. 🙂

Since the first time I tried their tacos, I’ve been hooked and keep coming back. The shells are perfectly crispy, the meat is always seasoned just right, and honestly, no other place compares. You can tell everything is made with care and fresh ingredients.

This review is way overdue. The menu is small, but everything on it is high quality and done really well. I don’t even mind the 45 minute drive for these tacos—they really are bad ass! The service is excellent, everyone is friendly and welcoming, and they always make you feel like a regular.

I always look forward to the weekends just so I can drive over for their tacos and ramen. The ramen is comforting and flavorful, and the tacos are consistently amazing every single time. This business deserves 20 stars—it is my number one taco place! If you’re thinking about trying this place, do it—you’ll be hooked too.“

“los mejores tacos 🌮 estilo mexicano 🇲🇽 y su gran variedad en platillos“

“The Birria pizza and loaded fries were amazing and the sauces they include were equally amazing!“

“🌮🔥 Hidden Gem Alert! 🔥🌮 Okay, y’all… I just stumbled into a little slice of Mexico right here in the neighborhood—and I am SHOOK (in the best way possible)! I popped in just to pick up someone else’s order (yes, I was the food fairy 🧚🏽‍♀️), and even without tasting a single bite, I already know this spot is about to become my new go-to. This place? AUTHENTIC with a capital “A.” From the smell of freshly grilled tortillas to the warm welcome from the owner (who told me they’ve been rocking it for 5 YEARS?!), I was sold instantly. Like… how have I been sleeping on this?! 😩 The decor? Simple but real. It’s giving “don’t judge a taco by its tortilla.” And even though I didn’t eat (YET), let me tell you something: if vibes had flavor, I already know this food SLAPS. I mean, you can just feel it in the air. My next visit? I’m pulling up hungry and leaving with a belly full of love and salsa. 💃🏽🌶️ Local folks—support this spot! The owner mentioned they need more exposure, and honestly, they deserve ALL the love. Let’s not let this little treasure stay hidden. Put it on your food map. Mark it with a 🌮. #HiddenGem #MexicanMagic #NeighborhoodEats #AuthenticAF #TacoTuesdayEveryday“

“Last night I had my 23rd birthday party at Mojave cantina and Brianna jones Custer was our waitress that took care of us she was amazing and very kind and sweet to take care of our big party. 10/10 best place and nice employees! 2/18/26“

“Great new add to the downtown Detroit restaurant offerings! Korean/Mexican fusion. Bone-in short rib burrito and birria grilled cheese were both off the charts. Also excellent service. Chef stopped by our table and gave us the full story about the restaurant. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch. What a great experience. Friendly service and delicious food. Love that green sauce!!! Also, I love being able to support my neighbors. Lovely family. 🌈🌈🌈“

“Shrimp quesadilla was great“

“Good food, nice staff. I carried out and ordered the nachos, once. The beans and cheese were missing from the order, which was inconvenient but stuff happens. I didn't realize it till I got home. The staff took care of it and were professional and courteous. They made me a new batch and gave me extra sides for the order I took originally. So I ended up with 2 orders. They were both delicious! Lol... I will go back for sure.“

“Went to Guac Mexi Grill and honestly yaar the staff there are too good. So calm, so polite, talking in such a soft way. I was asking so many things and they explained everything nicely without getting irritated even a little. These kind of people are rare now. I forgot to see their names but they were wearing name tags for sure.

This post is not even for free pop, I’m already at home eating 😂 I just felt like saying they were genuinely very nice to me.

I took bean and veggies burrito and they even made me taste items before putting them inside so I can decide. Who does that level of service man? And the burrito they made… too tasty, full set.“

“This restaurant has a great selection of delicious authentic Mexican food. The service was fast and staff was friendly. Food arrived quickly. Restrooms were clean. Parking was easy since the restaurant wasn't super busy. Great place to eat with good food and reasonable prices.“

“Great food and service. Our new favorite Mexican spot in the area!“

“I had the Mexican Sandwich with chunky beef with no cheese, my wife had a Mexican Sandwich with cheese and chunky beef as far as drinks my wife had a sprite I had a strawberry Jarrito No pics sorry the presentation was amazing and I forgot for dessert I had a cherry empanada everything was delicious“

“Everything about this place is great!! Don’t be fooled, primos tacos on Dix and tacos el primo on central are NOT the same thing !! They are two different food trucks owned and operated by different people. Personally this has been my go to place for years now. I love their quesabirrias 😋“

“Lots of great Choices and fresh I like the sauces as well as the many toppings“

“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“

“Always love the food.“

“These tacos are everything!👍🏽🙌🏽😁♥️🤤“

“Great food and service, highly recommend“

“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.“

“Amazing fresh food, authentic Mexican! Best Cadillac Margaritas!!!“

“hay variedad de comidas muy ricas y productos mexicanos. además los ricos tacos y caldos de menudos“

“This is a true hidden gem. The place is nice and cozy, good music and good people. The servers are friendly and happy, and the food is delicious. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, and the portion sizes are more than generous. Definitely give this place a try if you haven't. It felt like going to a friend's family house for lunch. Will absolutely be back.“

“Amazing food and amazing service.“

“Absolutely delicious if you haven't been here you are missing out 5 stars 💥💥💥💥💥“

“I just enjoyed the Smokey BBQ Beef Brisket nachos today at Wyandotte Hospital. 10/10 recommend and sincerely hope The Nacho Grill will come back to serve us at the hospital again soon!!!“

“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⭐️.“
