Let me start by saying: I love a great taco. Hell, I love an average taco. It might be my favorite…read morefood. I have had tacos from almost every corner of Norteamerica. The man who creates the tacos at El Loco Panda does so with love, and you can tell - Love for his culture, Love for the community. When I was waiting for my order to be wrapped up, a disciple sitting in the waiting area piped up and said, "The food here is good." If I know Detroiters (cuz I am one), we're not quick to compliment. Like Mexico, there is great diversity in what we consider to be a "taco." You have ground beef, Al pastor, chicken, sea bass, mahi mahi, vegan. You can top it with everything from queso Fresca to a refined julienne radish slaw. IDGAF! As long as it's fresh and well done, I'm here for it! My favorite here? The birria by far. The consommé served on the side is quite delicious and unexpectedly elegant, like a rose from the concrete. I feel like Loco Panda and its' chef reflects the essence of the east side of Detroit. Lemme 'splain: The tacos are hearty. They are heavy with meat and (gasp) yellow cheese sauce. So hearty, he had to double up on tortillas! He further bucks tradition and goes against the grain stylistically (soooo Detroit) and tops with red onion instead of white! Where they do that at?! Whereas you usually need to eat 3-4 street tacos from the festival trucks or Southwest to get full, you'll be full off of 1-2 of these, trust. Think like the good "real" Mac n cheese that we eat versus Kraft . Think "dressing" versus "stuffing." I think what I am trying to say is, ..... these tacos have soul. I don't even think about the fact that it's housed adjacent to a gas station. That doesn't matter to me. So long as the kitchen is clean (and it is), I'm good wit it. As a matter of fact, I take away that the food mattered more to this owner than the zip code it was cooked in (shout to subpar, high rent Bakersfield on Woodward). This is real food cooked from the heart. And quite frankly, it doesn't get any better than that.

I swear to god my fish&chips was a grey, soggy, & definitely cooked from frozen in a microwave. I'm not usually this picky with restaurants but I would have rather eaten my high school cafeteria's "mash". It was so bad that a newly sat table saw our food come out and they immediately left to eat somewhere different. This is all really devastating because the Mexican version red crown was some of the best food I have ever tasted. It was my favorite restaurant in Grosse pointe! What happened??? How did they lose their passion for making good food??

Nothing to write home about. Prices on the high side for the quality of the food. We have lived in Chicago and have family in California and Texas. I am Mexican American and grew up with this food. This was pretty average to below average. I checked the menu and had enchiladas, rice and beans. Sauce was ok but it could have come from a jar. 3 different enchiladas and best of the lot was the bean. Married well with the cheese. The others were kind of tasteless. Very mild not a lot of flavor, as were the 2 salsas for the chips. My wife had a salad, again nothing special. Too bad. It could be so much more. Nice margaritas. We were told using fresh ingredients, not a mix.

Walking in to the small historic home the Village is known for, it was quaint, easy, home. The team behind the counter was so kind and quick! I got the Cuban Bowl that has Ropa Vieja and plantains. I just felt like the ropa was dry and underseasoned. The maduros (plantains) were good and the beans were seasoned with a bit too much cumin for my taste. It just all felt disjointed and maybe it was this particular plate as I know I will probably find myself coming back for a taste of more Latino food (burrito next!?!)

The menu includes tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and bowls. I got a couple tacos, and Nate got a quesadilla. We also got an order of chips and guacamole to share. The food didn't take too long to come out, and everything looked tasty. I loved the asada tacos with nicely seasoned, tender steak, and the quesadilla was delicious and it came with a spicy salsa. I will definitely be back for more tacos or I'm interested in trying one of the bowls! The space for dining in is not very big, so it's a great option for takeout.
