Found this place from another's Yelp review...BEST guac & chips in Michigan thought I was in Mexico without the flight! Small cozy authentic with a happy female server. Real Mexican Coca Cola too! Can't wait to return here again next business trip! read more

I really like how all the tacos come with plenty of meat and crisp onions. The double corn tortillas are griddled/flash fried which helps them keep their shape and adds some nice flavor. Pastor Taco (5/5): Deliciously marinated meat with lots of flavor. Asada Taco (5/5): Tasty steak. Carnitas Taco (4/5): A little lacking in flavor, and could be a bit crispier. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

Updating my review - still as bomb as I remember from my first visit. Dined in this time and it really was a whole vibe from bumping El Makabelico to the potent chopped onions filling the dining room and giving me watery eyes (I share this endearingly like being in someone's home kitchen!) Per usual, I ordered tacos: *Lengua: stunning here. Cubes of tender lengua with just a bit of crisp on the outside. *Shrimp: a friend recommended it and i was completely NOT expecting this but it was almost fajita style with green peppers and onions topped with cheese! The shrimp was cut into pieces and really really well seasoned so almost like TACOS GOBERNADOR! Pretty unique take. Into it. The mighty human working the entire FOH by herself was so sweet despite how busy it was! FYI - on weekends, they have birria, barbacoa, menudo, pozole! read more

Nice place to get some Mexican food. The place is clean, got served by a friendly lady server. I just ordered 2 tacos, a fish & one with egg & meat. The portion is decent, & the price is very reasonable. All the dishes are listed on a big chalk above. Will definitely go back & try some others. read more

This is one of our favorite places in the area and sure to satisfy your craving for Mexican food. The service is wonderfully normal & I have always found it to be warm, welcoming and just what was needed. Not since La Casita / Miny's had dine-in service have we so enjoyed the experience of getting recommendations from the staff. Regarding the food, the servings are abundant and a very good deal. The tacos come out w/ heaping amounts of fresh cilantro, onions & a slice of lime (what else do you need?). We usually order the 'puntas' and it comes with enough for two meals. The tamales (especially de rajas) are heavenly and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are looking for great tasting food, La Torre should be at the top of your list of possiblities. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have over the years! read more

Looking for a great spot to grab a quick bite of Mexican food in Ypsi? You definitely need to be giving La Torre Taqueria a try. In the Ann Arbor/ Ypsi area, there are a few contenders as far as solid & authentic mexican food, and La Torre comes ready to vie for a spot among the ranks. The prices are very reasonable (especially for 2023 prices), and you can get pretty good value out of the meals as well. A friend and I swung by recently for dinner, and both got tacos. The tacos themselves are solid, but the real winner is the sauces -- both sauces at the table are absolutely fantastic. Providing a great balance of flavor and heat (while remaining distinct to themselves), the sauces are an excellent complement to your meal. In addition to the sauces & the tacos, the burritos are another highlight. Not just big, think massive! Each burrito is easily 2 meals... one asterisk is that they're heavy on the rice, so be prepared to drop a good amount of sauce in there to keep them from feeling super dry. Overall, I think La Torre is worth your foodie exploration - it's a great combo of value and flavor! read more

Authentic SW Detroit style tacos. Simple and tasty. No stuck up yelp elites going on. Just simple good food served by hard working humans.

This place has a wide variety of foods and the service is excellent, they waste no time getting you your food and the employees are some of the nicest people I've met in Ypsilanti. read more

We got takeout burritos from La Torre Taqueria, for a work lunch, and they were HUGE! We could've easily split one burrito between two people but no one really wanted to share because they were so tasty. Our meal even came with a generous serving of chips and salsa. Everyone inside seemed so kind and it really feels like a local family owned place. Will 100% be back! read more

Come here for the tacos! They have such a widespread of meats options. They have the normal basic stuff like Asada and Pollo, but I absolutely love how they have other choices like the Lengua, Buche, Surtida. I don't know of a lot of other places around here that have it on their menu & have it taste this good. You know this place is good because my Mexican friend ordered a whole tray of tacos from here for her birthday. Also the Horchata is very refreshing and a great size. read more

Family run small authentic Mexican restaurant. We have been eating their food for well over 10yrs, the preparation of the food has remained consistent, always good. They are fast and efficient. The only thing that has changed like every one of us have experienced, the cost of food. This restaurant you get what you pay for, good job La Torre!!! read more

Delicious hot food. Generously portioned tacos and large, tasty burrito! I called and ordered for pickup but it's basically the same prices for takeout via Yelp (no upcharge) so I would do that next time. I don't think it has the "ambiance" to eat there but phenomenal food! read more

Some of the best tacos I've had in a while! I got the pescado, pastor, and asada tacos. The pastor and pescado were the better of the 3. The staff was kind. Great food and look forward to returning! read more

How you gonna sell me a $10 burrito and not give me any sauce? Burrito had nothing but meat and rice in it. No beans, no crema, no cheese, no avocado, nothing... just some dry rice and fried meat And it wasn't wrapped in foil and came with ZERO sauce. Sorry but this is MIDS!!! I sht you not, I threw this burrito away and drove up the street to MINY'S so I could fulfill my burrito needs. More like La Turdé. IT STINKS read more

OK, so I'm from the Bay Area and I can't lie. I was closeminded when I reviewed the selections from DoorDash. I was stuck in the hotel room because my eye became red and irritated - not sure if it was because I was up till 11 to work or if it's because I'm not used to the air quality in Ann Arbor but because my vision was impaired, I wasn't able to drive. Hesitant but ordered the following: + lengua quesadilla (get this) + chicken burrito (get this as well) + tres leches cake Because my delivery did not come w/ utensils, I only ate a few bites of the top of the cake. I did not get to enjoy this so I will leave the review as is for that item. Even though I was by myself in that hotel room, I could not bring myself to hold a slice of cake in my hand. The lengua took me by suprised. It was tender and delicious! The burrito was pretty filling and flavorful and I loved both of the salsa; fresh and spicy. I am unsure when will be my next trip out there but I will certainly go back. read more

I was in line at a grocery store known for selling bottles of wine for just a few bucks, and one of the cashiers was telling a customer about their favorite local taqueria. When I heard them drop the name "La Torre" I was compelled to shout "La Torre!" back and raise my fist in approval! If you know, you know. Sure, the place might not be competitive with the Mexican spots in the Mission District, but for here in Ann Arbor, it's legit. My daughter was thrilled that we found lengua tacos, which are one of her favorites, and aren't available at the taco spots closer to home. We have branched out from tacos, which is hard, because tacos are so good. But the quesadilla and torta are also solid options. I do love a carnitas torta when life gets hard and I need more than a little comfort. The asada quesadilla was also chockablock with chopped beef. Either of those could have been a meal for two! Speaking of large things, the horchata was also super large for just a couple of bucks. It was a little sweeter than I prefer, but a nice compliment to the food. Still, my daughter and I shared the drink, and we couldn't even finish by the end of the second day. And I tried! Next time I may try one of the agua frescas instead. I look forward to the day when I can return to the dining room. Until then, I'm happy to call from the parking lot, and eat in my car looking through the window panes into the once cramped seating area. Now it's just a few tables with some plexiglass set up to serve as a takeout counter. But I'll take what I can get. ¡La Torre! read more

Tried this place based on the hype and reviews. Disappointed honestly. I had the al pastor burrito and with all the standard toppings. It was basically flavorless. I also had to wait like 20 minutes for my takeout order. Only plus is it was huge portion. read more

Definitely the best taqueria in the A2/Ypsi area. The food is authentic and delicious. They have mexican drinks as well. Their weekend specials also change up and are muy delicioso. One couple that walked in was confused as to why they didnt have chips and salsa or enchiladas. Note: this is a legit taqueria, not a TexMex establishment. You will find delicious tacos, homemade salsas, and awesome tortas. read more

La Torre Taqueria - Carnitas, beef, chicken - Mexican Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

This was the first time we have ever been here. Upon walking in we saw that it was a smaller place with about 10 tables. They were busy with people coming in to pick up their take-out orders (even though it was mid-afternoon). The menu is written up overhead on a chalkboard in Spanish. The ambiance is - very authentic Mexican - very exciting! We ordered half a dozen tacos (beef, chicken, carnitas, chorizo) and a couple of tamales (chicken, cheese and pepper). The hostess asked if we were okay with onion and cilantro on our tacos (I think she detected that I'm originally from England and was nervous that I'd not like the flavor of cilantro). I said heck yes! We love Cilantro! I feel like the taco serving size is generous. The flavors are incredible - marinated meat with tiny, fresh chopped onion and cilantro on top. Their homemade corn tortillas had a lovely fragrant yumminess to them that perfectly complimented the filling and topping. They gave us two sauces - a green one (low-medium spice) and an orange spicy one - both delicious. There are a lot of "Mexican" restaurants around that are just barely acceptable (have been Americanized). La Torre Taqueria is the genuine article though and we will definitely be coming back here again! read more

Passing through area as it's close to Eastern Michigan University (just finished going to Women's basketball game) hungry with family....the place was empty when we arrived and packed when we left. The tacos hit the spot! You need to get here if nearby!!! Lightning fast prepping of the food and the staff was super friendly! I was very pleased with our visit! That guacamole...I can't get over how fresh and amazing it tasted! When in the area again I will get in there! They fix hunger! Need one in Oklahoma! Respectfully, Bryan OKC read more

Yummy tacos with LOTS of meat inside. I felt like the meat in my taco could have filled two tacos. There isn't a lot of seating inside and it is not fancy, but it fit the meal. Had the campachano and asada tacos and the flavors were complemented well by the onions. A companion thought the vegetarian taco was just ok, but enjoyed her other taco. Service was fast. read more

My FAVORITE taco place in Ypsilanti/AA! Currently no dine-in. I got 3 tacos, and I felt I had just enough salsa for the three. They do charge $0.50 for extra salsa, for those that really like a lot of salsa on their tacos. The meats on these tacos are consistently full of flavor, juicy, and overall just amazing! I've been here many times over the years and have never been let down! read more

Authentic Mexican food is what you'll find here! In fact, while we sat in the small dining area, we were the only non-Hispanics in the place. Twelve men enjoyed food like home! The menu is very basic - it's written on a black board on the wall. Their specialty is tacos which are loaded with your choice of meat and fresh cilantro and onions (if you choose). I like the chicken and hubby likes the pork. We like to get three tacos each or a variety of three different items. Yesterday I tried a pepper and cheese stuffed tamale and I really enjoyed it. Hubby got a side of rice and it was better than most Mexican rice. This place is very small and crowed with tables. They've added more since our last time there. I think most of their business might be carry out, but we prefer eat there. Prices are very good for ala carte items. They have fountain drinks and bottled Mexican Coke - which hubby and I like to share! If you are in the area, give this place a try! I think you'll be pleased with both the food and service. read more

Best quesadilla and guacamole of my life and such nice customer service I do wish the prices were still listed tho

These are hands down the BEST authentic tacos in Ann Arbor -- even better than any tacos I had out in Vegas/Joshua Tree/Death Valley. I'd heard from others that Tmaz Taqueria or Chela's had the best authentic tacos in AA, but they both paled in comparison to La Torre. (Note: when I say "authentic," I mean the classic Mexican tacos with a meat, cilantro, and diced onions. These aren't those ~fusion~ tacos you can get from Isalita, TAQ, or Cantina -- although I will say Cantina has the best taco tuesday that is totally slept on) In an unassuming plaza next to a sex shop, La Torre is a no-frills restaurant with only a few tables for dine-in seating. You can order the tacos individually, which I love, because I love trying different meats! I got the shrimp, fish, and pastor. All of them were delicious, but the pastor was the clear winner! Yummm. Make sure you give your tacos a healthy squeeze of lime and lay on the red and green sauces, if you can handle spice. I'm not sure what the sauces are, but they are sooo good and definitely elevate the tacos. I brought my friend some chicken tacos for take-out, because she LOVES La Torre, and they were still tasty even when they were cold! Those sauces are a total game-changer. These tacos are definitely on the top of my list for best tacos EVER! read more

From the outside: it looks like just another hole in the wall store. During the stay at home: we took our first trip for takeout here and it was AMAZING!!!! Best tacos I've had in a while: might I dare say one of the best I've had EVER ( and I've lived in nyc and la) Me and my fiancé got a few different ones to scope it out: Carne Asada Tacos, Chorizo Tacos, Fish Tacos, Pastor Taco, Pollo, Shrimp Tacos, Tripe Tacos And guacamole Everything was delicious but the tripe tacos were indeed the best hands down. Even my fiancé said it was (and he doesn't even like tripe! So that says a lot) The seafood tacos (fish and shrimp) were close seconds for us. The rest of the tacos were pretty good too but similar to other great taco places we have tried before. Do not skip on the guacamole! It is amazing!!! We also made a side of frozen margaritas for ourselves to top it all off! Not to shabby for our Mexican night experience at home :) read more

La Torre, thank you!! I came to this taco shop for the first time on Cinco De Mayo and was pleased to have spent the day eating authentic Mexican food! I ordered carne asada (beef), pollo (chicken) and shrimp tacos with a side of beans and rice! All three of them were so good! They came with onions and cilantro. The shrimp had cheese, jalapeño and pickle de gallo. Each taco was very flavorful. And I must say that on a high volume day, my order was perfect! I appreciate that they took the time to get me and my friends order right! I also couldn't believe that I only had to wait 30min on Cinco De Mayo. I am from California and unless you can make tacos on your own the expectation is that you're going to wait on a holiday when everyone is ordering tacos. I honestly found the customers to be very rude. It's a family owned operation trying to accommodate hundreds of people on a holiday. I will just say, if you see people giving bad reviews because of a "long wait", ignore it! I will say that they didn't have the best system for calling orders and there's was a lot of confusion. But I will say that with all of the self righteous people making comments, I never saw the TWO women working the phone, register, and order get an attitude or get upset! These are amazing people just trying to feed the masses! I will definitely return and continue to pour my taco Tuesday money into this establishment, they deserve it! read more

Best tacos in the Ann Arbor and Ypsi area. I have switched loyalties, which is generally hard for me to do. But this place has officially won over my heart and stomach. On a stressful day of work I crave my go-to foods, and La Torre is on the TOP of this list. I RARELY eat in the restaurant. Maybe because my body and heart is generally in a rough place when I crave La Torre so I almost always order take out and eat it in the comfort of my own home. And boy. Does this food cure a bad day! Itll turn me from being a grumpy angry sourpuss to a peaceful happy delighted human being again , lol. Fried pork skin tacos are at the top of the list and always show up in my order. Tongue, tripe, shrimp, fish, pork, steak are great alternates to complete my order. For extra hungry or hot days, I'll order the chips and guacamole or the horchata, but I've had better of both at other local places. Still, its a nice filler. This place is kind of slow. I will wait with the patience and great expectation. Order ahead on the phone to cut the wait time. DONT be disuaded by the lovers lane next door. Trust me. The tacos are worth it. I love bringing friends here to get tacos because the food speaks for itself. read more

This place is AMAZING! -- I learned about this restaurant from a man who I drove on an Uber ride. He told me it was the most authentic in the area; He was definitely right! The tacos were phenomenal, loaded up with fresh toppings such as cilantro, onions, tomatoes, etc. Their homemade hot sauce + verde sauce are delicious -- perfect addition to the meal. Also, GET THE GUAC. Not lying when I say this is some of the best guacamole I've ever tasted. They have rotating soup specials, every week. So make sure to ask about those! All in all a great experience & definitely going to be my new go-to Mexican spot in the area. read more

They say that the three human vices are sex, alcohol and drugs. Located between a sex toy shop and a liquor store, La Torre offers tacos of addictive qualities. The tacos are on double corn tortillas, and comes with meat, chopped onions and cilantro. Nothing else. I think it says a lot about a taco to have nothing but onions and cilantro and still be good. The protein is very well prepared. Buche (stomach): soft, chewy tender flavorful. Pastor (pork): well made, juicy and marianed well Tripa: probably the best, CRUNCand has a creamy taste to it Tongue: Not a big fan, thick cut, nothing too special about it Beef: A bit disappointing, not very flavorful. I had tried Dos Hermonos the day before, And I have to say the beef at La Torre is something they can improve on. Pork Skin: Really good! More flavor than the stomach, fat adds a nice taste and texture to it. Its a new favorite of mine. The green and orange sauces (provided) add to the tacos, and does a good job cutting through the flavor. Tldr; Damn good, get tripe, pork skin and pastor. Beef tacos not as good has Dos Hermanos. But I like La Torre better overall. I go here a lot. Best tacos in MI read more
