We stopped in for dinner craving tacos. The menu options are mouth watering. We decided on their soft corn tortilla tacos. We found a seat and when our food was ready we were surprised to be served by a robot. So very cool!!! I had the carnitas. The flavor was delicious. The balance of cilantro and onions were perfect. I tried the hottest of their hot sauce and it definitely had a kick to it but was very good. The place has enough seating for a decent amount of people and has a casual vibe to it. We will be back. read more

Best birria w consomé in the area. They're fast and open earlier for lunch. Local family business. Only downside is they only give a little scoop of beans. More beans please read more

Super cute & clean fast food Mexican with friendly staff. Have wanted to try this place for a while, and both my husband and I were glad we did! He ordered the Torta combo with pastor, which came with a very flavorful consommé, and I had the quesadilla combo which came with rice and beans; both included a large soft drink. We ordered a small guacamole which came with salsa and was a generous portion for the price. And they have 3 additional salads that are delish. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Fantastic! Ordered carry out from here while visiting from out of state. Truly fresh, tasty and a real bargain to boot. We had both chicken and steak items and meats were moist and flavorful. Highly recommend and wish I lived in area because we'd be regulars. read more

I've had these guys before when their food truck used to be around town and I liked them then, and when I was in the area and saw they had a sit down restaurant, I was like, okay, we're eating here! The inside has plenty of seating and is clean. Parking here can be tight, but doable. I reviewed the menu and they have a decent variety of items to choose from. While not on the cheap end of things (on average, a combo runs about $15) the food is tasty. Since their tacos tend to be on the heartier side, I went with two fish tacos instead of the three that come with the others (being chicken and beef.) Fortunately, the combo's come with a drink and a side of rice and beans. Both the rice and beans were super tasty and there was plenty of food given for the price. The guys behind the counter were super helpful and nice. They let me take the time to review the menu and even though the fountain pop's behind the counter, they do offer free refills. They only do offer plastic silverware, which I wasn't so excited about but got me where I needed to go. Overall, a decent experience and if I'm in the area I'm more then willing to stop by, but not go out of my way for. I will say their food truck is good, so if you see it, go hit them up for some food. read more

This is a really good lunch place in the Troy area. There's plenty of seating indoors, and they have a great menu and make it easy to order with the touchscreen monitors up front. I ordered the red sauce tacos with the beans and rice sides and all of them were really good. I particularly loved the ground beef and birria tacos. The sauces are also very flavorful and enhance the tacos a lot. read more

Drove past this place and decided to stop in for lunch, we were not disappointed! They had the best tacos that we have ever had we will be going back and putting this place on our frequent rotation list. Don't forget to get the hot sauces, they were amazing. read more

Food truck stand in front of a brick and mortar restaurant, that's not open. Ordered two chicken tacos, 2 red chicken tacos and 2 chicken quesadillas for $30.68. The chicken quesadillas were tasty with the green verde and the hot red salsa, but skimpy on the cheese and chicken inside. The tacos were also rather skimpy with the chicken as well. The tacos were bland. The quesadillas tasted better. Prices are on the higher end for what you get. read more

Food is amazing, service is quick and you will not be disappointed at all! Food comes out hot everytime!!!

I have been driving by and seeing the Taco Truck out front and couldn't wait to come and try the tacos. I came here for the first time around the beginning of March. I have to say I was impressed with the workers and how they made you feel welcome. I played it safe and ordered tacos and Beans and Rice. The food is outstanding, and the staff makes you feel right at home--good food, good people. read more

Very good tacos. Got the red taco combo with rice and beans. Had steak, chicken, and birria tacos. Good place for a quick lunch.

If steam table GFS Mexican food is what you're craving, then this place is for you. It's awful. Zero customer service. Kiosk service because you just can't be bothered to deal with your customers in person. So many better options in the area. Overpriced and just bad. read more

Tried the Real Taco Express for the first time today. I think they just recently opened this store but had food trucks around before ( I think!). Really glad they did. The place is clean and the staff were very friendly. I tried the #6 combo of red queso tacos w/ birria. It comes with rice, beans and three of their salsas (red, green, and a guac style sauce) all of which were delicious! Also added a side of consume' for the tacos. One nice thing I noted is that there was no additional charge for the birria. Most places charge more due to the additional time spent making it. Not here, and it was delicious! Yummy, yummy, yummy! The sides were also good. The rice was fairly standard, but the beans were really good. I'm assuming they use lard instead of vegetable shortening. Prices were reasonable and the meal definitely filled me up. I'll be back for sure. Give them a try! read more

Food is authentic. Flavorful but a little too salty. Service is great and interior is very cool. The Mexican pizza is huge and tasteful. Normally, I don't like corn tortillas but they were pretty delicious. Steak tacos and nachos were Only issue was Recommend you try this place! read more

As I walked in I noticed that The restaurant gave off a authentic vibe, and the staff was very friendly. I also appreciated real people working with tattoos, and genuine personalities. I asked the waiter what was his personal favorite dish, he quickly responded with the torta. I ended up ordering the burrito to go with steak & pork and I devoured every bite of it; yum . The staff accidentally prepared my dish for dine in, but quickly bagged up the food for me. I will visit again and bring friends. read more

Yay! I moved to this area and have been disappointed with the taco choices but today I found my new place! Great food! The beans and rice are spot on like homemade. The tortillas were fresh and soft. The corn tacos were street style and awesome. The friendly staff were full of smiles and good service! The atmosphere is lively music and colorful decor. Love the place. I'll update as I try more fairs. read more

I like to drive around and wait for some place to "speak" to me and Real Taco Express has that down pat! It's has neon lights welcoming you and even an outdoor patio area. It's a fast casual approach to BOMB authentic mexican. A scaled down menu of the authentic staples and so far they all HIT. I had the corn tacos and they fry the corn tortillas fresh--frigging amazing. Highly recommend carnitas birria and al pastor. They have fresh salsa you can take to your table, spicy but amazinggg. They even serve the fresh cucumbers with the tacos! and plenty of lime. We also had a quesadilla that was DELICIOUS. Just definitely come here. Idk why I have been driving to Mexicantown to get good mexican. So so nice to have it right here and so accessible. Customer service was great too! read more

Hands down the BEST tacos around! Looking forward to trying additional items on the menu.

Their food is nothing short of amazing. Omgoodness!!! We had the chicken asada fries. Delicious. The red taco combos and the big burritos. Taco combos include beans and rice. Their green tomatillo sauces are delicious. Do not hesitate to stop by here. They also have food trucks so watch out for those if you get lucky enough to find one!!!! So fresh and tasty. Also, for the flan and churros. Yummy!!!! read more

I started going to this place before it was an establishment...when it was a taco truck. I think the tacos are pretty good. I do have some tips. When you first go, you will see their combos which are fine but there is also a la carte listing. I don't drink pop and am not a fan of refried beans so the combos aren't a good value for me. Also, you might want to specify the sauces you want with your tacos. There are at least three and I got a couple with each of my past orders. read more

These people really don't talk much to you and they kinda have an attitude but let me tell you their customer service other than that is amazing. I'm not the type to complain about somebody's personality just don't give me no attitude. These peoples personalities are not 100% welcoming but guess what they don't give you an attitude. They do their jobs great. Food is always fresh and clean the restaurant is clean I don't care about your little attitude as long as you don't give it to me. Food is amazing and I appreciate the consistency and that's all I care about. Keep the food consistent clean and fresh and I'm happily spending money with you. read more

Never heard of Taco Express, but saw their advertisement in a home renovation magazine/mailer. Truly very good tacos. The corn tortillas taste homemade, but I'm not sure, but so so much better than the el miagro store bought kind. The horchata was authentic and the interior was clean. I've been to quite a few Mexican restaurants and this one does a really good job. I would return! read more

I'm giving them four stars because they just opened their brick and mortar store. (My first thought was 3.) They have had food trucks that have done well. I got a combo, rice, beans and three kinds of tacos. I wasn't wowed. I thought they were kind of generic. Pastor, chorizo and carne asada, were all very similar. Their sauces weren't a standout either. I will give them another try to see if it is just growing pains. I wish them good fortune, you can never have too many good taquerias. read more

Customer service was bad and unprofessional.When customers come in to the restaurant, they expect to be helped. Not so here, and when I asked about the kiosk they said I had to use them to place my order. When other customers came in the guy I asked about using the kiosk came right up to the register and took the other customers order. This was my first and last time at this place. Also, the food was just ok. Nothing special about it. read more

Delicious and authentic. Really good deals and food. I will be visiting here for lunch and dinner on days I have to work in the neighbor hood. read more

Amazing food super quick and very authentic. Heading there again now it was so good! I had the chimichanga and my wife had the three tacos. Shes of mexican descent and said the tacos were very good and authentic. So if you like delish food with fast service head on over. read more

My fiancé and I were in the mood for Mexican and on the way home we spotted this cute new place. The place smelled amazing!! Everything on the menu looked so good! So we each decided to get our own entree and then one to split. I chose the nachos with chicken, lettuce, sour cream and cheese. He got the flour tacos with carnita. The combinations come with rice, beans and a drink. We also got the asada fries. Everything is made fresh to order. We probably waited about 10 minutes for our food. The inside is very neat and clean and looked beautiful! Our bill was 41.00 but considering all the food we got it was worth it. I'm not even kidding the three entrees we got weighed about 5 pounds lol. They are very generous with their portions! Both of us loved the food and would definitely go back! They have a new location coming soon which will be in Roseville so I'm sure we will check out that location too. They do have a food truck which is stationed on Groesbeck in Fraser. read more

These are the BEST tacos I've ever had. So flavorful and authentic. I went to sleep with a smile on my face. Good job

Now this is Mexican Food! I'm from Denver Colorado and have been looking for some good Mexican food and they never disapoint here. The food is always fresh and hot. So manys salas options, beans and rice are amazing. You know when the beans and rice are good that everything else will be FIRE! I recommend this spot to everyone! I've tried a few other Mexican food restuarants in the Detroit area but this is by far the BEST. There are many others that are pretty good too but are high priced and not every item on the menu seems authentic. Taco Express is top notch and the service there by every person who works here is always friendly and the service is always amazing. My husband is obsessed with the Birra tacos here. He's plannng to try everything on the menue! read more

This place wants basically $20 for a beef burrito that doesn't have sour cream nor avocado and there's nothing like California's burritos which mind you they charge average $12-$14 never would I ever recommend this spot for a burrito obviously. They don't even call it a carne asada smh read more

Food is pretty good but the guy at the counter is the biggest ahole you will ever meet. No customer service skills whatsoever. Don't even think about asking a question about the menu because you will get an attitude or the guy will stare at his phone and not pay attention. The business will fail if they don't get a new counter person that knows how to treat customers with respect. read more
