Entertainment, amazing food, excellent service. This time we ordered a gordita Asada, a bowl with Barbacoa, a wet burrito, and a side of beans and rice. The chips and salsa are four dollars. It's worth it! I'll never understand why people think restaurants owe them free chips and salsa. It's a nice surprise when I get it, but I would never expect it. And some cervezas!

I can only speak for the shrimp tacos that were brought to me by my partner and they were…read moredelicious. They had a large helping of shrimp in all three tacos, which I cannot stress enough, was SO NICE! To taste and eat shrimp with each bite instead of a mouth full of taco shell and Coleslaw. I am also a wimp when it comes to spice and these had a little spice with the sauce on top, probably a chipotle, it it was also SO tasty that I ate it anyways. My partner brought home 3 boxes of shrimp tacos and since they were too spicy for my kiddos to enjoy they stayed in the fridge for a few, and I ate 6 myself. I'm a tiny being who cannot handle spice and I thought these shrimp tacos were fantastic.

Excellent Mexican Street taco joint. For my first visit here I ordered two Asada (steak) street…read moretaco's that were very authentic and had only cilantro, both fresh cut and sautéed onions, fresh lime slice on the side, all on top of two fried corn tortillas. The meats was very tender & flavorful, veggies quite fresh and finished product very very tasty. As a cautionary note, the Salsa was probably a medium on the spicy scale and if you like your food mild you may want to ask for the mild salsa that comes with the chips. Other item of note here is the chips and salsa come gratis if you dine in where they were good but not quite at the level as the taco's which were over the top good! Relative to the restaurant and staff, the facility itself has a smallish footprint where there are just two tables and one very long counter with stools for indoor dining. My take of this is that much of the business is probably carryout. Staff was very friendly where you order your food at the counter and they bring it to you if you are dining in the restaurant. there was no table follow up at this point where it really operate as a quasi fast food joint which I was totally OK with, Overall really good food at a very reasonable price (2 steak taco's were $8) where the taco's are some of the best I have had in Metro Detroit. If you are a fan of good authentic Mexican food than this is a business not to be missed.

I finally got to visit Oaxaca after plenty of coworkers and family have been recommending it to me!…read more Oaxaca is located in a small corner plaza in Troy so there is plenty of free parking. Inside there is a small amount of seating, a few plastic tables and bar high top seating. Now to the good part, the food! My table ordered the salsa verde which came with chips, a side of rice, a burrito, and 4 asada(steak) tacos. The salsa verde and rice were okay, I wasn't wowed so I probably wouldn't order them again. But, the main dishes were definitely stand out delicious! The tacos came with a yummy red hot salsa and the seasoning on the steak was great!The portions were HUGE!!! In my opinion this balanced out the higher cost compared to other taco joints in the area. Needless to say, I'll be back!

I did however forget to order and grab a drink from the fridge so this is your heads up. they had some sauces/salsas on the counter to try too and those were good. My friends which got chicken tacos, a barbacoa wrap, rice and beans all say it was great and we'd go back. The staff was nice and checked in on us during the meal even though it wasn't a server type restaurant. that was a nice touch. we came on a saturday before a concert at michigan lottery and two other parties came in later on. can't wait to come back!

After moving to the area, I make a list of places that I wanted to try, and El Taco Dojo made the…read morelist. My husband and I stopped in to grab some lunch. Immediately upon entry, I was slightly turned off. The dining area was dirty and dingy. And the person taking the orders seemed to be having a rough go at life, with a bit of a snap in their tone. We ordered our food to-go, which took about 10 minutes or so. The kitchen area looked cleaner than the dining area, thankfully. When we got home, we ate our tacos. They were alright. The chips were delicious. They do have a selection of four different salsas to choose from, which I enjoyed. I love supporting local, however, not sure if I will be back.

If you visit Taco Bell or El Charro, you're supporting a corporation. If you visit this place…read moreyou're supporting a family. My wife and I have been running errands and wanted to try something new for supper and found this place on yelp. When we arrived it seemed a little quiet, but the hostess/waitress quickly appeared and showed us to a table. From there everything went smoothly. I opted for a plate of enchiladas, and found them to be very well prepared and seasoned. The salsa had that wonderful tomato forward texture to it that I enjoy very much. The room is small, and it's clear that they get most of their business on carryout. That being said I think if you showed up with a somewhat larger party they would be glad to take care of you. They certainly took good care of us.

Being that I'm on this side of town for a few days, I figured it was finally time to check it out. The location's much bigger with more seating than the Rochester Hills one. Nicely decorated with ample seating, you order at the counter and they run the food out to you. Not sure if they have waitresses or not, but that's how they were running it when I was there. I asked if they had Birria tacos and the man behind the counter said they do, just not on the menu. I ordered the taco dinner with shredded beef, rice, beans and a glass of water. I got served chips and dip which was okay, but the salsa was a bit runny for my liking. The "hot" salsa was good, and wasn't overpowering. Eventually, my food came out and it was a huge portion! I was impressed with all three tacos, rice and beans. It was only $13 on the menu, so I was happy with how much food I was served. The beef was a little on the dry side but still fairly good. Rice and beans were decent, but the music was a bit on the louder side. I docked a star for the meat being a bit dry and louder music considering it wasn't really necessary. The man who rang me up was super nice and friendly and also went through the menu with me since I had a few questions before ordering. Overall, a decent meal for the price and I'd return in the future.

Excellent hole in the wall taco joint that splits its retail space as half restaurant and half…read moregrocery. The restaurant itself has a relatively small foot print where the tables are close together and where there are no frills about this place and definately a tad on the rustic side. Facility aside, this place makes some excellent authentic Mexican street tacos where my El Pastor and Asada taco's were well made, PACKED with meat (no scrimping here) and oh so tasty. Service is quite quick where once seated you get your food within a few minutes making this an excellent spot if you are on the run and looking for a good meal on the quick. Prices are cheap in my opinion where my three taco's and a coke came to just $12. NICE! Two things to note here is that the chips and salsa are not gratis but come at an extra cost and follow up once you get food was non existent in my case. Chips and salsa was not a big deal to me but lack of follow up prevented this business from getting a fifth star. Overall and my minor gripes aside, if you are fan of really good Mexican street taco's than this is a must visit if you are in the area! I wish this business was closer to my home in West Bloomfield as I would be a regular here for sure!

It used to be they provide chips and salsa as appetizers but since inflation is up ... you have to order separately. I've tried other taco places and I keep wondering why we always come back here ... maybe because it is more convenient. Ordered chorizo soft tacos with cheese and chicken enchiladas ... no substitute... flavor is bland so just add the red or green hot sauce. Kind of rude to hear the workers speak in Spanish. I will have to go somewhere else. Food is bland and the service today is terrible.
