    El Taco Dojo, my new favorite food stop. Craving some good street tacos, I followed the reviews here, and they did not disappoint. The food here is absolutely delicious! I've tried the chicken, steak, pulled pork, and grilled pork tacos so far; and I honestly can't pick a favorite, just sooooooooo good. Seriously, whether a burrito, Dojowrap, Taco, quesadilla, or a simple side of rice, you can't go wrong. I also need to add that I have a ridiculous amount of food allergies/sensitivities, and I'm so delighted to say that I had NO reactions at all after eating here. They did a fantastic job avoiding cross contamination by keeping their open kitchen work area clean, and visibly wearing gloves when handling any food. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it has a great vibe. I love the art on the walls. There is some indoor seating available, so you can dine-in or take out, and the parking lot has plenty of room. I will note that did not happen to see a public restroom available, but I also did not happen to ask either. I need to mention that the employees themselves are great! Patient while you make choices, offering suggestions if asked, helpful with making alterations for special diets, and overall just friendly, great guys. I highly recommend you stop by and have a meal from El Taco Dojo, and I have a feeling they will be seeing a lot of my family and I from now on.

    Taco meal minus cilantro, tomato and onions

    So Yummy!! Everything is freshly made. We got the Barbacoa quesadilla and tacos (2 Barbacoa, 1 carnita) meals. Comes with chips and salsa or guacamole. There's also salsas on the side to try. Definitely will return!

    Grabbed two 3 taco plates for my team member and me. Mine with 3 chicken tacos, side of chips and guacamole, side of beans. Second one was one chicken, one beef, one pastor and side of chips and guacamole. $34.98. The condiments are lettuce, cilantro, onion, tomatoes. The chips were decent, crunchy and seasoned. The guacamole was also pretty good lots of red onions and flavorful and fresh. The chicken tacos were damaged. I had some fatty and Sie pieces and my three tacos. The refried beans were decent, whole beans still intact in it. A bit dry though. My team member enjoyed their pastor, pork, chicken and beef as well, chips and salsa too.

    I went to El Taco Dojo on Hayes Rd after work/Ordered food to go/It was busier this visit-vs-previous; a bit of a wait, but worth it!

    Chicken quesadilla

    Yup, this place lives up to the hype. The steak tacos were great but the chicken quesadilla was even better. They aren't skimpy with the meats. The house made chips, guacamole, and salsas were all great too! Super easy to order online and it was ready and packaged nicely when I got there a few minutes early

    Beans and Rice

    This is an epic place for amazing Mexican street food. Everything we had was great but, there were a couple of things that were truly exceptional. When give a place 5* on Yelp, that signifies the restaurant is a destination...worth going out of your way to get this food. There is so much to like about El Taco Dojo. 1) everything is house made. The ingredients are fresh and delicious 2) the dudes that run the joint take a great deal of pride in what they do. They were excited to talk with us about their menu items and quick to share samples of before we ordered. 3) portions sizes were generous 4) the salas, my goodness were they fantastic. The pineapple habanero in particular was amazing. I added it to my Al pastor taco and it was perfection 5) they may serve the best basket of chips and guacamole in metro Detroit. As I said, every thing is house made, chips included. They were nice and crispy with a great seasoning blend, they certainly didn't come from a bag 6) their elote is great. I usually don't like mayo based foods but this was well balanced with lime that gave some nice counter to the richness of the mayo 7) all 3 of the proteins I tried, Barbacoa, Al pastor and chorizo were great. May have been the best chorizo I've ever had Macomb county is over run with mediocre Meh-xican restaurants that serve up flavorless, Americanized junk. It's so exciting to have an alternative that serves great, well crafted Mexican food. Now that I've tried it...I know I'll be back...often

    The street tacos and egg rolls were very good and the service was fast and friendly. Small area to eat but it was clean.

I saw online so many places had the fried Japanese milk bread cream dessert sandwiches. They were $8, which is pricy for what you get, but all of the places seem to be selling it for that same price, so it is the going rate in this area. Despite the small size for the price, it was so delicious. Perfectly fried, both crispy and juicy and satisfying. I got the nutella and pistachio. The pistachio was the better one, but both were good. I wonder if they also had the egg salad and it was just too late to get one. I also got my favorite little treat, the odds and ends of the pastries they cut off to make the desserts look perfect they put into a small tray and see for $3. You get a sample of their desserts and help the zero waste cause, which I am happy about since we are leftover people. People are nice here and they do have many of their popular pastries, cakes, ice creams, etc... but the location is so small, I really prefer the Troy location the most, but I also come here from time to time when I have dinner in this complex to pick up some of my favorite items. So you will see my here, Troy, and West Bloomfield since we love Farhat.

    Their desserts are great but expensive and they don't really have great service. The pistachio…read morestrawberry cup was served all dripping and not in a neat way. Kinda disappointing when you paid so much for it to have a mediocre presentation. Cute place with flower decors

    Review # 537…read more January 31, 2026 I picked up my online App order for two Bundtlets for My Sister's Birthday on Wednesday, January 28th. I had ordered her the Confetti Birthday Cake, and the New Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake for $12.00! I also bought myself a strawberry cream flavor and it was moist and Oh My Deeeelicious ! There are many flavors to choose from their website or through the business App that I now have on my phone. I'll order future sweet and thoughtful cakes for special occasions. Download the App and write in your Birthday to receive a FREE ONE too! My experience placing the Order through the App within two days was easy, pick a day and time with total for accurate prices. Then when I arrived on Wednesday at 12:30pm to the shop, My pick up was prompt and friendly with the staff. The wrapping of the two Bundtlets were correct. I showed her my phone with the email and order # and that was to fast ! My sister enjoyed her two cakes very much and I did too with the Strawberry Cream one that I bought myself. Perfect strawberry flavor and that buttercream frosting drizzle Oh Yeah just right ! The shop was clean, organized and my photos attached here all very helpful with ideas for February with Valentine's Day in a few weeks. Sign up for their rewards in the App to keep track of your purchases and free items in your future purchases. The Bundtlets are delicious and perfect for slicing 4 or 2 pieces depending on your fix for the yummy sweet cakes . lol Their Newest flavor is the BISCOFF Cookie Butter Cake and I WILL BE back to buy and taste that flavor in a few weeks... sooooo TBC - Too Be Continued ! Enjoy My Sweet Photos attached to help all customers and this business. Their parking lot is small and limited since they are together with other businesses in the far end of the lot. So BE patient and wait for a parking spot because it's busy morning, noon and night for pickups. They also deliver so check prices. Enjoy my other photos too that are visible from my previous job when the manager ordered boxes and boxes of Mini Bundtlets for employees on a special day! Those were delicious back in Winter of 2025. Great Service, Delicious Sweet Cakes, Party Favors, Assorted Cards with mini thoughtful treats and gifts for family, friends and co-workers too. Sincerely, Karen N. SpecialK Macomb, MI.
