    Taco truck
    Andrea D.

    So good. They were in my neighborhood tonite. I could "make dinner" like this every night! The steak tacos + guac = delish!

    Asada and pastor tacos (ordered plain) $1 apiece
    Allison F.

    I was introduced to Los Dos Amigos by fellow Goldie Wally S. When he told me this food truck has $1 tacos, I almost didn't believe him. Delicious tacos made with fresh meat for less dinero than anything found at Taco Bell? I was weary but now I'm sold. The menu on the truck is in Spanish and English. The employees speak both languages as well, so no worries if you haven't practiced your Spanish since 10th grade. I have tried most of the meats by now but prefer their pork to everything else. Tacos are served street-style, with two corn tortillas that are sprinkled with cilantro and onions. I usually have them hold that noise and just get a little cheese instead. The quesadillas are excellent and a steal at only $2. You'll receive some meat, cheese, avocado and salsa sandwiched in a pressed flour tortilla. Mmmm. Jacob loves the ceviche. If you're thirsty, they have a selection of canned pop and bottled Jarritos, as well as horchata. Feeling daring? You can run to the liquor store across the street for adult beverages but be sure to ask for a paper bag, because drinking is public is illegal, yo! There is usually a canopy up next to the truck for shade along with four small tables. If you're into spicy stuff, look for the plastic container with onions and peppers and throw some on your food. I've raved about this place and even got my husband hooked. They're only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so get your fix when you can.

    Awesome little gem in Detroit. With Tacos $1.25 and Quesadilla $2 you can't go wrong. Their quesadillas are flour with salsa, avocado, tomatoes, and cheese and are sooooo bomb!!!!!! Mmmmm .... them Steak quesadillas got me some type of way. Tacos are good and come with corn tortilla and are smothered with salsa and onions and other classic garnishes. Their steak, cabeza, and chorizo are hands down my fav in ranking order. They got classic Valentina and el yucateco hot sauce in both red and green 5 stars for price 5 stars quesadillas 4 stars tacos Overall 4.5 stars overall

    tacos al pastor
    Emily L.

    This was my second stop of my inaugural taco truck crawl, El Paisa being the first (http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-paisa-taqueria-truck-detroit). Janelle's taco truck guide had advised to get the same kind of meat at every truck so that you could better compare the trucks, and I'd meant to do that but then ended up trying the al pastor and carne asada at the first spot. Since the asada was a little tough there, I decided to try to return to the original plan and got two al pastor tacos here. I was surprised to see that these tacos ($1.00) were much smaller than the ones at El Paisa (although those were 25 cents more...). They had a tasty-looking salsa, chopped onions, and cilantro on them, and sliced radishes and a lime wedge on the side. My dining companions and I went to sit under the awning, but there weren't enough chairs. So we walked over to the adjacent playground and sat at one of the picnic tables there. Very pleasant :) Umm... that tasty-looking salsa was indeed very tasty and much more flavorful than El Paisa's. Kinda spicy too! But not that spicy. (And I'm kind of a hot and spicy wimp. For example, I love Sriracha but can only handle so much of it. Dishes end up looking like they are afflicted with Sriracha-colored chicken pox-like bumps.) These small tacos did not contain very much meat or cilantro. I could easily eat 6-8 in one sitting, compared to 3-4 El Paisa tacos. But I can justify the cost of these miniature tacos because the salsa was just that good. In fact, the salsa made Los Dos Amigos my favorite of the three trucks we tried (El Pariente being the third: http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-pariente-detroit), although all of them were very tasty. Los Dos Amigos is kind of out of the way, in the middle of a neighborhood, but it also makes for a fun little drive in which I maneuvered around some insane potholes.

    Ceviche tostada
    Jacob F.

    Best tacos I've ever had, hands down. Ok, so I'm no taco aficionado, and there are tons of other places in SW that I've yet to try. But hot damn!! I had one each of the chicken, pork, and beef tacos, plus a ceviche. She had a beef quesadilla and two tacos. The meats were chopped fine and incredibly seasoned - especially the beef! It wasn't ground beef; it seemed almost like a pot roast cut. Super tender and wonderfully flavorful. The salsa was excellent - fresh and a bit unique. Not the typical stuff you get with chips a Mexican restaurant. I might ask if they bottle it next time I go back. Between the meat and salsa, the tacos are a powerhouse of flavor. If you still want to step it up a notch, though, you've got to try their spicy pickled onions. They've got just the right blend of heat and acidity. Ceviche was pretty good, but I would have preferred it without the ketchup (??) on top. The unbelievable part of this place is that we both ate for $8. Tacos are just a buck. One dollar. Un dolar. Are you kidding me?! They're cash only, but you can't blame them. They've also got a few patio tables under an awning behind the truck, so you can enjoy on the spot. And there's a liquor store across the street if you want to discreetly imbibe while you eat.

    Taco friday!

    El Paisa is located in the parking lot of Sam's Supermercado…read more(http://www.yelp.com/biz/sams-supermercado-detroit). I got two tacos - al pastor and carne asada. I made the mistake of getting everything to go, meaning the tacos were wrapped in a foil packet, the grilled onions and half a grilled jalapeno were in another foil packet, and the sliced raw radishes and lime were in yet another foil packet. Cups of red and green salsas were also carefully tucked in the bag. I really liked the tacos. I thought the carne asada was a little tough, though, and liked the pastor better (the flavor was really good too). The cilantro was fresh and the flavor really shone. In the three trucks that we stopped at that day, El Paisa's cilantro packed the biggest punch, which is a very good thing in my book... I'm a cilantro fiend. I also liked that the raw onions were very finely chopped. I usually HATE raw onions, but these finely chopped onions added just the right amount of bite. As for the salsas, I thought I'd like the green better but ended up enjoying the spiciness of the red more. Well, it wasn't that spicy but it had a bit of heat to it (kinda like a mild-medium), which was much needed, since everything else was pretty mild, including the grilled jalapeno. When I bit into it, I thought it was a green pepper in the shape and size of a jalapeno. For $1.25 a taco, I got a decent amount of food and would be able to make a meal out of 3-4 tacos. Mmm... tacos... :)

    Delicious feast, TONS of sauteed onions, generous with the radishes…read more Stopped here today to check out the pollo and cabeza tacos for the first time. Great great stuff. I think they might have the biggest menu selection of any of the trucks... anyone else agree? The cabeza is diced very finely, much more so than the norm, which was interesting. I think i prefer a slightly rougher cut (on the other end of the spectrum is El Pariente's cabeza, which has much more texture per bite), but El Paisa's style took nothing away from the flavors. A small but notable detail was that the limes served here, unlike most of the competition, were extremely fresh and juicy, barely had to apply any pressure to get quite a bit of that great lime juice onto the meats, and nothing goes better with cabeza than a little salsa and a lot of lime juice. so good. The pollo was standard, but, as you all know, standard in SW taco truck land is absolute tastiness. Other things I noticed: 1) catching a bad break i suppose, the strong wind today was carrying the truck exhaust (since the truck was running) up alongside the eating counter... so I smelled faintly like a lawnmower when I return home... too bad, didn't really notice while i was eating, thankfully. 2) two tacos and a coke was $3.75 ... a score of a deal by any measure... well, except by taco truck measure... EITHER their tacos are 25 cents more than the competition, or their cokes are a little pricier... a really puny value difference ultimately, and doesn't stop me from giving El Paisa my full-hearted approval. This truck sits in the parking lot of the plaza at Vernor Hwy and Lansing St. WEEKENDS only. CASH only.

    I've heard so much about El Palenque so I was finally excited to find it sitting on a corner in…read moreMexican town. We ordered about 10 different tacos to try. These were all standard Mexican tacos with various forms of protein,. onions, and cilantro. Their pollo was exceptional, asada good, but had some gristle, and cabeza was succulent and tender. The big turn-off for me is the 3" corn tortillas. These are really to small to handle. It's become pretty much standard for me I'll return to the trucks that serve the 4" and not return to the trucks that serve 3". The salsa that was available was tasty and definitely had a nice bite to it. They already have a large clientele so the food is fresh and the service is very friendly. So yes, El Palenque is a good truck, but it's not what I'm looking for.

    I'm not sure how I missed this place on my inaugural taco truck crawl. As I was driving from El…read morePaisa to Los Dos Amigos, I traversed along this very intersection. I must have been busy gawking at all the random stuff that was being sold on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. :) On a return trip, though, I made sure to stop by. I'd been getting tacos al pastor at all of the taco trucks so that I could compare them more easily. However, El Palenque did not have al pastor, so I went for the next closest thing - two lomo tacos (and two asada tacos as well). The guys in my group looked at me like I was crazy for getting four tacos. "Dude, FOUR tacos? I got three." "DUDE, I'm starving." I also tried to buy a bottle of water. I rooted around in the cooler but could only find one bottle, and it was the grimiest bottle of water I'd ever seen in my life. It looked like a mechanic had wiped motor oil-covered hands all over it, and the label had a weathered look to it. So I opted for a can of pop and then used the last napkin from the napkin dispenser to wipe the dirt off the top. The tacos came with grilled onions, chopped raw onions, cilantro, red salsa, and radishes and a lime wedge on the side. This made two taco trucks that automatically put on the salsa for you (the other being Los Dos Amigos), as opposed to the other trucks that let you do it yourself. (I don't mind either way; just pointing it out.) The flavors were quite good, especially the lomo, which had a bit of a kick to it. Unfortunately, the lomo was also swimming in bright red-orange oil. Soon my hands were covered in red-orange oil too; it kinda reminded me of blood. It didn't help that there weren't any napkins left. My four tacos ended up being pretty small. Given my state of extreme hunger, I probably could have eaten eight of them in one sitting. Instead, I ordered a quesadilla, figuring the cheese would be a more cost-effective way to fill me up (I was running out of cash). It was pretty good (but then how hard is it to make a bad quesadilla?) and came with a bit of sliced avocado, shredded iceberg lettuce, and sliced tomato on the side. El Palenque wasn't bad - but I don't think I'd go back. I've got other taco trucks to go to!
