    Complimentary chips and salsa, all Mexican Town quality, shortly after you have a seat.
    Rob P.

    I've been here many times over the years. Loco's is a downtown Detroit and Greektown institution. One thing I'm happy about is that they haven't gotten sloppy over the years. This is still a good place to eat before heading out for an event or a night in the town. I ordered the beef chalupas. In case it isn't clear from the menu, "beef" = ground beef. I'm usually not thrilled with that, but this is very lean ground beef. Not a lot of flavor, but not bad. The chalupa shells were nice and crispy, and also not greasy. The rice is good, and the refried beans are excellent. There are only a handful of times in my life when I have said that about refried beans. These had a smoky quality, and I ate every bit of it. Seriously. I can't remember the last time I did that with refried beans. The guacamole is very simple, just how I like it. The place was absolutely jammed because there was a big Detroit Lions game later that evening. But, the service was good. And, the prices were reasonable. I'm very glad to see that business is good at one of my downtown favorites.

    They started us out with chips and salsa. My wife choose the classic burritos it comes with beans and rice. While I went with classic steak fajitas with all the fixings. This is a military friendly restaurant. Super large portions be ready to eat if you come here.

    To preface... as someone who grew up in Mexico, vecino hits like food from home every time. I have…read morebeen six times now and not once have I been disappointed. I have been trying Mexican restaurants all over the U.S. and no where compares to vecino and to think I found my favorite in Detroit amazes me. It truly is worth every penny. For what to order: All their appetizers are great. We usually switch it up and are satisfied with each one that we've ordered. The Totopos with salsa are a must and their guac is great as well. For mains- the asada del día is our go to. It is always cooked to perfection and comes with fresh tortillas. And it is hard for me to come by a tortilla in the U.S. that I enjoy. But here, they are excellent. They import their corn from Mexico and you can tell. This is served with bone marrow and some garlic onion spread that goes great on the taco. For dessert- their tres leches is amazing. The coconut cream pairs so well with the cake. I could eat like 10 of them. As if it's not obvious at this point vecino is my favorite restaurant in Detroit and one of my tops in the world. I will not be surprised if they are the first ones in Detroit to secure the Michelin star

It was super loud and had a ton of mood lighting as the evening…read morewent on, but it was hard for my friends and I to actually engage in conversation given the volume of chatter and music and just overall environment in the restaurant, which was noticeably a struggle! I felt a little out of place being here given just how trendy and super party-like atmosphere it all was haha! And in the months since I've come here, it remains a super popular spot to go to if you're looking for that extremely lively atmosphere! None of this takes away from the quality of their delicious food! We had incredible dishes and they clearly take a lot of pride in sourcing intentionally all their ingredients for their food, and the waitstaff did their best to intro us to everything, despite how overstimulatingly loud the environment was, so I only came away from each presentation with about half the information they wanted to convey. But all in all, the food was good across the board, and we tried a ton of different dishes. There weren't any that were overwhelming showstoppers that made me want to come back here again and again to try the rest of the menu though, so I left Vecino knowing that I wasn't going to return anytime soon. It's definitely for a specific mindset and type of celebratory occasion, which is often not the one I'm in when I'm going out to eat with friends.

    Just made my first trip to Taqueria El Rey, and it will not be my last…read more Dear God. The smell of the grilled chicken is heavenly, but I had a mission, and that mission was tacos. I'll have to come back for the chicken. Also Botanas. They are on the menu, and while I may have some deep reservations about this unique Detroit-Mexicantown dish, I'm going to have to return to try those too. But let's get to the tacos. I love that they are on small, doubled, corn tortillas. I love that they are only $3 a pop (less during Taco Tuesday). I love that they have some very traditional fillings. I love that they come with radishes and plenty of limes. After reading through some of the reviews I was compelled to try the following fillings, which are below in ascending order of their deliciousness: - Carne Asada: It's fine, but I wouldn't get it again. - Cabeza: Tender and flavorful, but oddly dry for a typically rich filling. - Carnitas: Juicy, tender, and delicious! A winner. Among the best I've had in the region. - Al Pastor: Yes! Finally! So far, the only good version I've found of this classic here in the area. I'd say it's a must order. Oddly, what dragged these tacos down for me was the choice of the corn tortillas. They were a bit too stiff, and their flavor was so pronounced that the shells overwhelmed the fillings. Typically in this type of situation, one can simply remove one of the two tortillas and just eat them gingerly to avoid the potential failure of the taco's structural integrity. However, my tortillas somehow fused together which made the operation impossible. What does that mean? Well, in future visits I am going to be looking for other ways to make the carnitas and al pastor shine! Maybe it's in a quesadilla. Perhaps a torta? Or could it even be atop a plate of Botanas? The mind boggles. But I'm looking forward to the journey and giving El Rey that fifth star when I find it. Oh, one last thing. The horchata is tooth achingly sweet. Next time I'll try another aqua fresca in the hopes it might be better.

Special thanks to our waitress Elma for her Outstanding service and attention to our table needs. She is quite the professional. My wife our lady Friend both enjoyed the Alambres steak filets that was mouth watering as usual served with Spanish rice and potatoes. Complimentary Poblano homemade Soup by Mama Garza. I order Chef Luis Garza's El Horno which is salmon on top of white rice smothered in a homemade lobster sauce with a large shrimp on top and wrapped up in a banana leaf. My friend ordered the Steak Fajitas. He enjoyed the sliced steak cooked in butter with onion , bell peppers and covered with a white cheese. Side dishes of salad and poblano soup of course. The entire restaurant had tables filled with various colorful well plated dishes thanks to Chef Luis and His staff. The French say Bon a petite ! In Spanish it is " Disfrute de su comida "! Oh, Oh I almost forgot they have a very hot white creamy Habanero pepper salsa for your homemade and warm corn chips in addition to the two red hot and mild salsas' , I mixed a tad of this with the guacamole . Be careful this stuff adds a new meaning to hot!!

It had a nice, salty crust on the outside. The meat was also very juicy. The BadThe cut of meat was very stringy. I had to chew each bite for a long time. It was also served warm instead of hot. For the high price, I expected a much better piece of meat. Final VerdictThe chefs know how to cook a steak to the right temperature. However, the quality of the meat needs to be better. It was an average meal that did not live up to the price tag. That is all! Chief Feeling alone when you not is when darkness reminds you he is your old friend .

    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!

Service was okay given how busy it was, it's a popular spot before concerts and sporting events, but the entire staff seemed disorganized. We grabbed a spot at the bar while we waited for our table, the bartender wasn't the friendliest when I asked about the non-alcoholic options but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because it was the weekend rush. There was confusion with our table so after that was sorted we were finally seated at a sticky table with bench seating, which was not comfortable. But hey, we were hungry and it's what they had. However, a note for restaurants everywhere, no one ever wants to sit at a wooden picnic table indoors. The chips and various salsas were a highlight. The tacos were hit or miss. The carnitas one was good but the fish taco tasted borderline spoiled. The rice and beans were good. I wouldn't go back and if a bar atmosphere is what you're looking for, then this might be a convenient stop, otherwise I'd look elsewhere.
