There’s no better place in Detroit to enjoy tacos in a cool, casual setting. The menu here at Señor Lopez is decidedly traditional, but that doesn’t mean it’s anything less than delicious. It doesn't matter how many times you’ve enjoyed a taco or other Mexican classic here — your taste buds will always crave more.
This is no ordinary taco restaurant. At Taqueria El Rey, you’ll find a delightfully simple set-up (they only accept cash) — but the range of food options is anything but typical! Indulge in a goat or pork taco and wash it down with a delicious pint of beer. Not in the mood for a taco? This eatery also features some of the best grilled chicken around, which we featured in this
previous article.
Sombreros grace the walls of this modest eatery, which delights Detroiters of all ages with its mouthwatering taco options. Whether you enjoy your tacos on soft corn tortillas or you prefer deep-fried crispy goodness, Jose’s has you covered. It’s one of the Motor City’s hidden gems, and you simply have to give it a try.
For a slightly fancier taco experience, head to El Barzon and indulge in an order of delicious upscale Mexican food. The taco options here are straightforward, but they’ll have your mouth watering in no time. During warmer months, enjoy your meal outside on the restaurant’s gorgeous patio.
Taco Especial is a local favorite in the Detroit area, and with good reason: it’s been providing diners with excellent Mexican cuisine since 1979. Whether you keep it simple and order an original soft shell taco or up the cheese factor with a nacho taco, you’re certainly in for a treat at Taco Especial.
This large eatery is one of Detroit’s very best Mexican restaurants, and it has the food to prove it! If you still have room after indulging in a few traditional tacos with a large helping of chips and salsa, try Mexicantown Restaurant’s famous "flaming fajita." It’s just what it sounds like, and it will leave you craving more. Mmm.
