    Awesome, authentic tacos for a really reasonable price! Great service too! Had chips, guac,salsa and 4 tacos (including steak and shrimp!), with an upgrade to all 5 taco toppings for a grand total of $19. Yum! I'll be back!!!

    Asada Taco
    Abigail J.

    We stopped by for a quick bite and it was really good! The staff were friendly and welcoming, explained all the toppings available and it was really quick service! Very clean inside and the decor was really awesome! My potato taco was great, awesome flavor and texture and the spicy salsa was amazing. My husband liked his asada taco too, but felt it could've used some more flavor. Overall it was great and I would come back.

    shrimp fajitas

    Such a nice place and great service! The food tasted so good, came out fast, and everyone was very friendly. Even though the place it was small it was perfect for me and my friends.

    In eastern market so expect to wait on a Saturday in the summer. Super good enchiladas and beans and rice. They also have a take out place downtown but not sure if that's still there.

    Tamarind and Pineapple Agua Frescas

    In my top 3 finds this year! We had a spectacular experience from start to finish. The Inside is full of life- colorful, bright, and cheery. The service was attentive, friendly, and generous. The waitress offered us samples of the Agua Fresca flavors so we could make our decision, which was so sweet! We ended up going with tamarind and pineapple. The food was outstanding: fresh, flavorful, crisp where it was supposed to be and soft where it was supposed to be. The Birria meat melted in your mouth! Everything was fun and flavorful without being over the top. The potato taco was really different- a bit like a spiced potato pancake inside a taco. All the tables were clean, as was the restroom. The other big thing is that it truly felt family owned- there was a sense of love and coziness in the air. This is the perfect oasis after a stop at the eastern market, or as a destination pick! Can't wait to go back!

    I love the food here! It's authentic Mexican and family owned. The lady's are so nice and has exceptional customer service. The restaurant is a little small and unfortunately there's not a lot of seating during lunch but if you come when they open or after lunch, it's great. I love the outdoor seating. It's very relaxing.

    Family gave food excellent reviews. We do not frequent Detroit a lot but maybe we should start. Food came fairly quick on a nice May Day.

    Great location in Eastern market. The Travis with crispy flour tortilla are yummy! Good rice & beans. Very friendly service.

    Huervos Rancheros
    Amy B.

    I was so excited to hear that Jose's Taco's opened a second location at Eastern Market, because their my favorite local Mexican food spot. I discovered their downtown location off Grand River by accident many years ago and have been a fan ever since. I was able to have breakfast here on Saturday morning after a day of shopping at the Market for flowers and such. They have a great menu, and it's really hard to go wrong with what they serve. I went with the Huervos Rancheros for breakfast and it was delicious. I was tempted to get their tacos but wanted to try something different on their menu. I was not disappointed! Prices here are fair and there's plenty of seating within. While it's not a fancy place, the foods good and that's what matters. Make sure to pay cash to save the extra fees on cards that I think they *might* charge if used. Also, their closed on Sunday's, so go sooner than later!

    It's so hard to find good tacos in Metro Detroit and Jose's always hits the spot. Perfect before/after strolling through Eastern Market.

    Mix Taco Dinner

    Food was fantastic, service was kind and quick. Definitely recommend next time you're at Eastern Market.

    California burrito and side that are included.

    Tucked away in Eastern Market in Detroit, this little spot delivers great taste. We ate in and out service was excellent. I was hoping to order fajitas as it is my go to dish, but the closest they come is a fajita burrito. They keep it clean and the staff works very hard. If you're in the area, I recommend you give them a try!

    Carne asada fries
    Minu A.

    Situated in gorgeous Eastern market. The workers are nice. I've been here twice. First time I just got regular steak tacos and they were just alright. And the second time I got the carne fries which was pretty good but not the best I've had. They have a lot of stuff on the menu so maybe I'm missing out on some of the other stuff but this place doesn't stand out to me.

    I always enjoy the soup here. Usually I get the seafood soup and I'm never disappointed…read more This visit I got the beef soup. Lots of tender chunks of flavorful beef swimming in a delicious broth with potato, carrots, onion and some kind of squash. It comes with rice and beans. I sometimes add that to my soup as well. Instead of crackers I use tortilla chips. The chicken soup is equally as good. I don't know why more Mexican restaurants don't offer this option. Mexican soup is much different than gringo soup. I cut everything up into tiny pieces. Mexican soup is entire carrots, a potato cut in half, half an onion. That said it totally works. I highly recommend the soup at Lupita's.

Heads up; it's cash only (atm with $3 fee in the building) and 1 bill per table. I ordered 5 quesadillas to sample the different meats. I'll go from best to worst. The cabeza was rich, but not too overpowering which I've experienced before. No fat either which was great. The asada had a nice flavor and was perfectly tender. The pollo was equally flavorful and tender. All 3 get an A grade. The carnitas was pretty good, but not as tender as the others. Solid B. Finally, the pastor was a bit underwhelming. Simply too saucy to fully enjoy it. A C grade on that. Only negative would be how greasy they were. The tortillas were absolutely drenched in grease which wasn't great. Overall, a solid experience. Wish I would've degreased the tortillas more.

I came last night and it was really busy. I ordered a carnitas burrito, one of my favorites. The food took over 45 minutes to come after we ordered it. Our table ordered 5 tacos and a burrito.... 45 minutes is outrageous. Once it finally came, my burrito was about half the size of what it typically is (posted a photo of my last burrito from here for reference) Then, they cut the burrito and there were pieces of foil all in the burrito (pictured) really not okay. The worst part, there were three massive bones in my burrito!!!!! When I complained, they said that carnitas has bones in it... I've never had bones in my burrito. They asked if I wanted something else and I said I want the same burrito but without bones and they told me that if I got the same meat it would probably also have bones in it so they didn't remake it for me. If I bit down on it I could've broken my tooth or choked. Really really disappointed with my experience last night. I'll be back because this isn't "normal" for them, but I'm really disappointed. The manager ended up comping my burrito and explained to me that sometimes baby bones get through the meat when they're cooking it... you can see from the picture we're not talking about baby bones- these were three massive quarter size bones

You order at the food truck, and they have an indoor seating area with tables if you want to eat on-site. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The food here is amazing. The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and at $2.50 each, they're an unbeatable deal. But the real star for me was the burrito--this thing had to weigh at least a pound! It wasn't just massive; it was packed with huge flavor. I went with al pastor for my protein, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The salsas are also delicious which is always a plus. I hope more people discover this gem because the food truly speaks for itself.
