I got the 3 pupusa dinner with jalepeno and cheese pupusas. The pupusas came out nice and hot, and I loved the veggies and salsa which were both very fresh.

I love the outdoor seating and they've upgraded it so it's more enclosed and heated. Staff is always friendly and kind. We bring the kids and it's very family friendly. Food is always good. I love their beans and rice and the kids love the lengua tacos. They are adventurous eaters when they want to be. The steak or al pastor tacos are very tender and flavorful. Always my go to when I'm craving some authentic corn tacos. Check them out and you won't be disappointed.

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.

We loved the red tacos. Salsas were hot. Overall really good. There is a discount for paying cash.read more

So far, this is the best Mexican food I've had in Michigan. The tacos looked really dry, but they…read morewere surprisingly moist and well-seasoned. I didn't expect the tacos to have fried tortillas, but I didn't mind. The rice and beans were perfect, and the salsas were fine. This is a clearly a popular takeout spot. I saw lots of people coming in to pick up their food and leave. However, dining in also seemed quite popular. I think it is nice to dine in since they give you complimentary chips & salsa and huge bottles of salsa to put on your tacos. The waiters also kept checking on us which was nice. However, the place is not that big or fancy, so I understand why people might prefer taking out. My only complaint is that the waitress who took our order gave us bottled water when we asked to start with water while we were deciding what to order, and she charged us for the bottled waters later. I feel like it's common sense to give free tap water when a customer asks to start with water without specifically asking for bottled water. Despite that, I would still return. I might just skip the water or specify that I want tap water.

But this is much much more. It's a small mercado with all the necessities including a nice little selection in there freezer. The ordering is done at the front counter by two very wonderful employees. They explain the whole process as well as make a suggestion if you ask. They give you a number, you pay, and you walk up the stairs into the little restaurant that is in the back. Nice and clean as well as enough space to feel comfortable. The food was authentic and delicious, I ordered two items thinking that I'm a pretty big eater, I would probably need it. I was wrong. I got the small quesadilla, and I got the huaracha. Both of them were large enough to satisfy me for lunch absolutely.

Also, we ordered 2 different dishes with the steak, whatever that was marinaded in was terrible!

We came here specifically for Taco Tuesday! I will first off say that this location is rather…read moredifficult to get to during rush hour. big Beaver gets very backed up and if you miss the driveway you are adding quite a bit of time on to your trip. The parking can be tricky too. All of the parking behind the building are reserved. Even in the parking garage. And if you take a wrong turn you end up in a dead end. With that said, this place was very cute. There were vibrant paintings on the walls. They have a bad area that is fairly well stocked. They offer a variety of beers on draft too. No wine though. They specialize in margaritas (surprise surprise). You can order a flight or just singles. They offer frozen or on the rocks and they have quite a decent selection. They also offer Happy hour until 6 pm. Our server was amazing. He was very polite and explained the menu well. We started with chips, salsa, queso, and corn salsa. All were incredible! They are known for their double decker Tacos. They are a hard shell taco wrapped in a tortilla. I wasn't sure about this but they were FANTASTIC! I ordered the chicken Bacon ranch and the Purple Haze, which is done with brisket. The food was so good that it was well worth the hassle getting there.

My husband and I ordered the pork and chicken tacos with crispy shells (don't remember the exact names), along with the street corn and chips. Unfortunately, the food didn't really meet our expectations. It felt more like elevated bar food than authentic tacos. There was just too much going on with the ingredients, and the flavors didn't quite come together for us. We've definitely had better tacos elsewhere. That said, the service was quick and our server was attentive throughout the meal, which we appreciated. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible, it just wasn't our taste when it came to the food.
