Honestly pretty disappointing for the price. 4$ a taco?! The carne asada was NOT carne asada, it at most was Barbacoa. I watched the cook as he seared the meat then placed it all into a freaking insta pot pressure cooker. Sorry but what now? Carne asada is made strictly on the grill. It is not shredded. The meat left a weird heavy beef aftertaste which made me question how long it was out. Additionally the fish taco was very clearly made from packaged pre frozen, pre cooked fish. The filet was massive which would've been fine if it was higher quality. On the plus side the marinated mushroom taco was good. So one star for that if you're vegan. Not the worst tacos I've had but miles away from the best as well read more

This place is well worth the trip! The prices are great, the portions are good, the service is friendly, and the energy is high. We had more than enough food, and paid a fair price. This place is small; counter seating is available. They do a brisk carry out business read more

I just ordered Dos Locos Tacos via Uber Eats for the first time for myself and two friends. I've heard rave reviews from others, so I was excited to have a new favorite taco restaurant. I'm crazy hungry & the anticipation was killing me. Well, my Uber pulled up and handed me the bag of food & despite feeling a little light, I thanked her and went in to eat... Only to find out that we only received about 1/3 of the food I ordered. When I returned to the app to see what happened, a few items said "sold out", and the remaining items would take another 35 minutes to be delivered. I understand that the delivery time is on Uber, but I'm pretty bummed that we didn't even get the chips & salsa we ordered, nor was there any attempt to notify me about items being unavailable. They had no trouble charging me for the full order though. I gave two stars because my friends food looks delicious, and I appreciate a menu that offers vegan options. read more

Good, big tacos compared to what I'm used to in the southwest. Small inside. Very good cherry habanero hot sauce.

Very authentic! I was very impressed with the quality of food here. I ordered the tacos and you could tell everything down to the tortillas is home made. True authenticity Mexican flavor. I like the added touch of the red cabbage on top! It gave it a unique crunch to it. read more

I guess when you are the only place in Hamtramck that makes tacos you go to it , I will not be going back for sure 3.50 and 4.00 per taco! No thank you when Mexicantown is 10 minutes away from here it's no brainer . read more

Used to be a decent late night spot when they were in White Tower. Now, they've ruined a historic bakery and offer overpriced, mediocre, small portions with far too little staff. Have plastic sporks with their desert in plastic to go containers, which were ordered dining in. A bit of Hamtramck history lost, with nothing much added in its place. read more

The verdict: late night super hungry... then come here for tacos! I only have experienced the shredded chicken tacos & veggie tacos. The veggie tacos are good, although the chicken has no flavor so you must grab a sauce before you leave. Now I know it says hamburgers on the front but disregard that because there are tacos in the building folks! But all in all good eats if you're hungry. read more

Super cute spot and owners. Best tacos on the North side. Love the variety of hot sauces!

I was very pleased with this little gem that hubby found. The tacos were so yummy and really authentic! I ordered the Carne Asada and the Beef Chorizo and it was delicious and very filling. Loved their salsa and chips as well. I can't wait till they add seafood to their menu! We will definitely come back again soon :) thanks! read more

I eat out a lot, and I think this is probably in my top Mexican places in the Detroit area. They cooking assemble everything right in front of you. For food, I got there vegetarian special which was a cauliflower fritter i e actually a cauliflower spice pancake, and their chicken taco. The cauliflower Fritter came top with guacamole and it was delicious. Their chicken taco came with cojita cheese, tons of chicken, and it was enveloped in a blanket of corn and flour tortilla. Ask for their salsa on the side because that thing is freaking delicious. I wish I had another stomach so I could eat more food. Con- no public bathroom and it's tiny and looks like a place you would grab a bite to eat if you were really wasted. But don't be fooled by The Humble looking appearance, they cook up some mean tacos. read more

Great food! I work in Hamtramck n it's definitely my go to when I'm feeling like vegan tacos n burritos!! So yummy!!!

Happened upon this place after a fun Hamtramck night. Lucky for us this place is open all night. Duck tacos were stupendous. Gourmet Mexican? Yes, please. Also make sure to get an ice cold Horchata creamy beverage with your meal. It's Rumchata sans the rum. The staff were knowledgeable and courteous. I will definitely make it a highlight of my future nights here. Do yourself a flavor and check this place out. read more

First, match your expectations to the venue. This isn't a big name, big money chain. The former restaurant here was Campau Tower, a slider joint. The original place, White Tower, probably dates back to the 30s. 12 seats and counter service. They've got a 24" flat top, two half size friers, a two burner webtop, and a quesadilla press. If they're busy, you might have to wait for a previous order to vacate the range before yours can be started. The positives: The tacos are AMAZING. Great balance between fresh flavors and stick-to-your-ribs filling. Their treatment of the shell makes it somewhere between hard and soft - and it's sublime. I had three, carne asada, lamb, and chorizo. Each had a distinct flavor, and each was a treat. I wish the chorizo was a little more strongly spiced, but that's personal preference, not a down-check. The neutral: I also had two tamales. They were fine, but suffered from comparison to the outstanding tacos. In hindsight, I'd have been better off ordering another taco. The not-so-good: I wish they had American soda on the menu. Would have loved a Coke to go with my meal. I also need to address the "historic" nature of the venue. It's clear they saved some money by adapting the previous restaurant's buildout. The kitchen appliances (which are in clear view) have seen decades of constant use, and they look it. Perhaps they should start at one end and work their way to the other with a scrub brush and some serious cleaning solvents, but I saw nothing that would lead me to believe that there was a problem with sanitation - it's just not bright & shiny new. I found the rest of the "decor" charming. They could have spent tens of thousands remodeling the counter seating, and then they'd have lost the charm of a near 100 year old lunch counter. Like I said above - you need to match your expectations with the venue. Dos Locos Tacos makes my short list of taquerias in Metro Detroit. That's what they aimed for, and they hit the mark. read more

Amazing food made fresh in front of you. Southwestern style street tacos, albeit a little bit bigger and, in terms of variety and freshness, a whole lot better. Definitely try the staples: the carne asada, the pollo, the chorizo...very good stuff, but this place really shines with its more experimental offerings: duck, mushroom, lamb. Seriously, this last weekend's marinated portobello taco was delicious and complex; one of the best tacos I've had in a long time. read more

Great spot for handcrafted tacos or burritos. The food tastes great and owner is truly an artisan of the yum. My only conflict is deciding what to get. I may have a burrito dependency as well.... read more

Fast, hot, and high-quality tacos served at a really good price. That's exactly what five-star material restaurants are about. I stumbled into this place thanks to Yelp, and I was very glad I did. I sat at the bar (it's a small venue) and ordered some shredded chicken tacos with guacamole and chips. Everything is made right in front of you, and it was piping hot when I was served. It was also excellent - they clearly use good ingredients. The guys behind the counter also helped me find a grocery place nearby that helped. I loved the experience overall. read more

The food is always excellent. It's the restaurant's communication and apparent leadership that is severely lacking. They are incredibly rude over the phone, cancel orders frequently, shut off delivery apps sporadically, and are often out-of-stock on numerous menu items. All of this considered, I still patronize the business because of its price point and its quality. read more

Tacos are quite good as are their burritos. Quesadillas are great late-night fare as well. Actually, everything on menu is quite tasty though the fare can be a tad greasy at times (this is not a problem for those after-bar meals). read more

Ate here 2 times. First time was utter disappointment , gave it another try in hopes my first time was just a bad day for them. Nope. Same disappointing food, months later.. I will not eat there again, I'm good on over priced bad tacos. Bring back white tower!!! Cause this place is a sad replacement read more

Finding a GREAT Taco Shop is a hard task for anyone that moves to a new city. Coming from Seattle, I was worried I would not find Tacos that lived up to the standard. But when I discovered Dos Locos Tacos, my fears were put to rest. Dos Locos Tacos delivers delicious, flavorful, unique takes on classic Tacos, Burritos, and Quesadillas served in the retro remnants of an old 50s Burger/Lunch Counter in Hamtramck. I had the Beef Chorizo Burrito, featuring Fresh Pico, Black Beans and Cheese. I also had the Shredded Chicken Quesadilla with Pico and Cotija Cheese. Both were made quick to order and delicious! A flavor very unique and distinct to Hamtramck...but one that reminded me of what I loved about a local taco shop that gives food their own spin! Dos Locos Tacos is a taco shop that you should absolutely visit! Great, delicious food, served fast, hot, and at a great price. I will definitely be visiting Dos Locos Tacos again! read more

The place had amazing workers, would def come back again just to vibe. Also a positive that the food was great !

The best street tacos I've ever had, bar none. No frills, just the best cheap eating experience I've had.

It says open until 4 am / door locked and shut with patrons sitting and taco clerk waving me goodbye . Love the taste hate the casual closing read more

Very good Vegetarian Tacos here yummy indeed. My order was hot and fresh and worth the wait, I will be going back real soon.

Sooo good! I found this place while i was pregnant. I became obsessed. We always do carry out which is usually ready in 20min.

My wife and I were looking for great tacos, and according to her, these were the best tacos she's had since moving from Texas. We both got chicken quesadillas, which were delicious. I got carne Assad's tacos, she got chicken tacos. Now, the place is a little meh aesthetically. There were a few flies and what not, but the food was good. Definitely a good spot for a drink night. I think the tacos were a tad bit overpriced though. read more

Honestly. It's freakin amazing. First time trying! They have homemade salsa that taste better than some authentic restaurants in south west. Food made fresh to order. Prices are decent for the quality of the food. A gem. Definitely will be returning. P.S. get a side of the black beans you'll thank me later! read more

I really wanted these to be good but they look far better than they taste. I ordered chicken tacos and carne asada tacos as well as guacamole and chips. The carne asada was completely dry and zero flavor. The chicken tacos were about the same but less dry. Their guacamole is super disgusting, I apologize for being so blunt about it but it's literally puréed avocado mixed with chunks of onion and tomato, but zero flavor once again. I won't be going back, it's just not worth it in my opinion. read more

The food tastes okay but I seriously get sick every time I eat here (3 times). Bummer. There's one counter girl/cook with long hair who always seems drunk if I go during the evening. Won't be back. read more

Best quesadilla I've had- carne asada and beef chorizo were incredible. The sauces they came with were also really yummy!

This is my second ever authentic taco place I have eaten at. I ordered a Lamb and Carne Asada taco. I ate the Carne Asada first which was good but I personally don't like corn tortillas. The lamb taco was godly and after I was finished I was kinda sad that it was finished. They also had a friendly staff and had a variety of hot sauces out in the open for customers. The only reason they get a 4 star is cause they are kinda pricey but I understand it cause they are a small business. read more

Dos Locos Tacos - Lamb Taco and Carne Asada Taco ($7.95) - Tacos Near Me - Hamtramck, Michigan

This place is AMAZING STAFF IS AMAZING! Make sure you get chicken quesadillas so good no garbage for me add pico!

This little counter diner is located where Campau Tower used to be. They basically serve variations of tacos, burritos. quesadillas and tamales. Let me start off by saying this is not Chipotle. If you are expecting a 5lb burrito that is not what you get here. What you do get however is very tasty food and good service. So far we've tried the tacos, burritos, quesadillas and tamales as well as the nachos with house made guac and salsa. According to my husband the tamales were a little dry. The beef and chicken tacos were pretty average but good. They do serve other unique tacos like lamb . The lamb taco has a lot of flavor with a little spice. I love the quesadillas slightly crispy tortilla with gooey stretchy cheese! Another favorite is the burrito. It is extremely flavorful. The only downside for me is that the burritos could use a little more meat and at times consistency in size and the amount of product used. Regardless, it's definitely worth several return visits. read more
