First off, I ordered from the Livernois location and ended up having to pick up from Southfield. None of the orders that I made online were correct. The ground beef has this weird grill taste but it's not good and if you're ordering everything mild, yet the meat is spicy as heck, what's the point. It was a long drive only to be disappointed. read more

Staff is great. Food is great. Prices are great. The guacamole is to die for! Don't miss this spot. It's in the Amoco gas station. Don't let that fool you. Smoothies are great too. read more

I was accidentally way too early for my flight and found this gem that's inside a gas station on yelp and they opened at 5 am! Was blown away how fast and fresh everything was. I got the chorizo and ham breakfast burrito combo for $10!!! The women working there are efficient. Great spot read more

This is not real Mexican food, last time I was there, my steak tacos were tough. Definitely Americanized Mexican food. The Chile Rellenos were not actual whole chiles.. just lots of breading and two slices of the wrong type of Chile pepper. read more

Another great gas station . . . for me to dine in! Inspired by Janelle "Putting the P in taco"'s review of tortitas El Rojito, I finally stopped in here and it was great. Maybe there should be a new Yelp category: "Taco-stand Inside Gas-station" or TIG. They had an extensive menu including tortas, tamales, champurrado and tacos. The latter could be ordered flour or corn, fried or "soft". I had the corn tacos which were lightly grilled, not unlike the aforementioned El Rojito. These were bigger and meatier with your choice of prep. They were made to order in front of a bright and shiny glass counter. You could have them any way you want from cilantro and onion to cheesy with guacamole. I went cilantro, onion and lime, with some outstanding smokey "hot" sauce. They were delightful. The place is also surprisingly nice for being a gas station. They have a large selection of beverages inside coolers in front of which you are sitting. They had 4-5 tables I believe. There were 3 people working the counter and a steady stream of customers which was great to see. They were kicking out some food and it all looked great and fresh. read more

We go there once a week. Food is always good and fresh. Sometimes you have to wait in line to get your order in. Service is very good as well. You wouldn't think food this good whatever come out of the gas station. read more

I have worked near this restaurant for 4 years now and go regularly with coworkers for lunch. The food is good, the shakes (especially the peanut butter with chocolate protein) are great. The customer service, however is the reason for the lower rating of stars. There were a few polite staff members working in the back when I first started going a few years ago, however they have since then left. Everyone that remains is SUPER RUDE. I am African American and I do not speak Spanish. I usually go in in the morning to get a shake. There is a new lady making the shakes now and she doesn't speak a lick of English. I will be standing in line for 10-15 min before I'm even acknowledged. On NUMEROUS occasions, Hispanic customers will come straight in from outside, speak to the lady in Spanish, and she will start to make their drink--- I don't care what they are ordering, whether it's a time consuming shake or a cup of coffee, if I'm in line I deserve to be acknowledged and served-PERIOD. The last few times I went in I tried to make it known that I had been skipped over -- no one understands what I am saying, I ask people in the line to help me translate and they say they don't speak English either, then talk to the lady behind the counter in Spanish as they all laugh together. I had another employee come over to try to tell her my issue and she stated "she said she didn't understand your order" (the same order she recites to me every morning before I even order it) but this particular day she "didn't understand". I replied that if she didn't understand then she should have got someone that did instead of just completely ignoring me and helping 5 other people that came in after me (literally, no exaggeration, I counted a group of 5 men that were behind me that she took orders for) Despite my better judgement I went back again the next day for the same thing to happen again. This time as I was trying to talk to them about how she was making my shake they just COMPLETELY IGNORED ME. I ended up walking out after wasting 20 min of my time and ending up late to work with no shake. Myself as well as a few of my coworkers REFUSE to go back in there because of how bad they make us feel EVERY TIME. They are clearly racist and rude to anyone that is not Hispanic. It's really unfortunate because I love their shakes and they are very conveniently located. read more

Who would have thought a little hole in the wall joint would be located inside a gas station! Cazuelas is like a fast food setting .. but it's just as authentic as any of the restaurants in Mexicantown! This place is always packed for lunch, so prepare for some wait time -- but they move rather quickly! They have different specials during the weekday.. but my coworkers and I usually always get their steak burrito or chicken quesadillas. Also, their chips are made fresh daily! They have a couple of tables if you'd like to sit, but I usually get it to go! Cazuelas is affordable, convenient, and delicious! What more could you ask for ;)? read more

These are the best tacos I've ever had! I love their veggie tacos, lots of flavor! They also have great deals like "buy 5 tacos, get 1 free". I eat lunch & dinner from here quite often, and I'm never disappointed. My only complaint is that they don't stay open past 8pm. Aside from that, the food here is phenomenal. Keep up the great work! read more

Who would have thought that a gas station would have such good food? Well it's possible and Las Cazuelas Grill is it. I tried them because of Brian S.'s review and go back because of the flavor. The staff all speaks fluent Spanish and English. The food is prepared in front of you and the tacos are plentiful. My favorite: Cazuelas salad: not for 1 person alone (unless you are super starving). They take a flour tortilla shell and drop it in a deep fryer to cook it in the shape of a bowl. Sounds bad for you? It probably is, but it was good. You pile on lettuce, tomatoes, guac (if you like it), sour cream, and your choice of meat. I went with grilled steak. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I finished the entire bowl. I also ended up in a sleep comatose from being so full. It is more of something to share. Light, crispy, and full of flavor. They offer call ahead takeout, ice cream, and smoothies too. I like this little known spot. read more

The food is excellent, I have since gone back to get a burrito bowl. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who wants Mexican food. Just a note, this restaurant is located in a gas station. read more

The most impressive restaurant I have ever been to that is located inside of a gas station. They even have seating! I ordered two tacos: One al pastor (pork) and one grilled steak. I ordered both with soft corn tortillas, which had a beautiful texture and fresh flavor. I will be ordering the al pastor taco again. In fact, I'm a bit obsessed. It had enough spice to make it interesting. I topped it with a bit of onion. I shouldn't have eating the steak taco second. In comparison to the pork, the beef tasted pretty bland, and was a bit chewier than I would have liked. One of the other reviewers remarked on the chips and guacamole, so I made sure I ordered those. I was not disappointed. The chips were some of the best I had. They were tasty enough to eat plain. Which wasn't happening - Not when I had awesome guacamole to go with them. I really like guacamole when you can taste the avocado, and this version fit the bill. I will be returning shortly. Probably won't eat in though. read more

dont waste your money !!! Not authentic . Dry as fuck ! Cold. And even once I saw that it was dropped on the floor she said she wasn't giving me my money back . TRASH. Never had worst tacos ... read more

May be some of the best tacos ever tasted! We ordered from the catering menu and were really impressed with the value.

As authentic as you can get in a close to fast food setting. With options such as Las Cazuelas who would want chipotle? Also great option when Mexican town is further than you are able or willing to commute while looking for a tasty Mexican food option in Detroit. I had the Las Cazuelas salad with beans, rice, lettuce (of course), steak (choice between steak, chicken, carnitas), tomato, cheese, onion, sour cream and guacamole. I thoroughly enjoyed the taco salad shell. Reminded me of Navajo Indian fry bread, not as thick, but close. They make your order assembly line style like subway and chipotle, therefore you can easily determine what you would like and not like to be added to your order. read more

Guys, this place has a lot going on. It is of course a gas station, it is also a convenience store, it is a used car lot...and probably best of all, it is a Mexican restaurant. Pretty much everything I've tried has been delicious. Botana, burritos, burrito bowls, tacos...you can't go wrong. Check what the "daily special" is to save a few bucks, but prices are reasonable to begin with. Don't forget dessert-- the flan is awesome. Food is ready quickly and staff is friendly. It is also very clean. The outside is a little rough. There isn't really clear parking, so most people just park at a gas pump. I have been asked for money a few times on my way inside. The cashiers are behind bulletproof glass. One time the cashiers were smoking behind the glass. So, yeah. It's Detroit. But it's definitely worth it, and now that I don't work nearby anymore..I really miss it. read more

I was skeptical upon entering a taqueria located inside of a gas station. Entering at lunch, I knew it couldn't be too bad because the line was extremely busy! The staff kept the line moving fast throwing delicious meats on warmed tortillas and personalized toppings. Despite the long line ahead of me, I received my order quickly. I was truly surprised at how amazing my lunch was from this taqueria. The tortillas were fresh and warmly cradled delicious, tangy al pastor (seasoned pork) meat that was topped with fresh cilantro and onions. The sauce added some heat to each tangy, yet savory bite leaving my only regret in ordering two instead of 3 tacos. They have a pretty expansive menu including burritos, tortas, tacos, sopas, and rice and beans with daily specials for those of you looking for a cheap, quick, and fresh lunch. read more

My girlfriend is from Southern California and until now has been disappointed with the Mexican food scene in Michigan. The look on her face when she bit into this breakfast burrito was priceless. She kept repeating "this is the best burrito I've ever had, anywhere." I'm super happy to have a legit Mexican joint to go to... Best part - it's in a gas station, you'd never expect it to blow your mind but it absolutely will. read more

I came across this place when I stopped in to get gas. I was hungry so I decided to get a burrito. Who'd thought that you would find the best and authentic Mexican food in SE MI inside a gas station?? I regularly stop by on my way home. I almost always get a burrito b/c it's the easiest to eat while driving. I would eat here every day if my office was located closer. Cheap, authentic, and delicious. Doesn't get much better than that. read more

Never thought I'd get food from a gas station but I keep hearing great things about this place and they had such great yelp reviews.... I decided to drive all the way to southwest Detroit just to go to the gas station...not for gas but....for tacos... andddddddd I was NOT disappointed! They were DELICIOUS! I had 3 flour tacos...chicken, steak and beef...they were all great but the steak taco was the best. I can't wait to go back so I can try their fish tacos, their shrimp tacos and I forgot the name of it...but it was like a Mexican sandwich I was told....hmmmm I can't wait to try it!! Only thing I would like is for their hot sauce...to be hotter...and next time I'll get extra cilantro on everything! Nice and friendly staff and delicious tacos... Try them out for yourself! read more

Las Cazuelas - Fish tacos!! - Mexican Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This is tucked into a gas station on Livernois close to Michigan Ave. Yes, it's a little bizarre to have a restaurant in a gas station, but don't knock it till you try it. This is my favorite Mexican place of all time. Truly. One of my biggest issues with a lot of Mexican restaurants is the freshness of their ingredients. Surprisingly, this place is extremely fresh with high quality ingredients. I usually get their small nachos, and I literally salivate while they make it. Their tacos and quesadillas are also amazing.They also make their own juice! Be warned: There are a few schools nearby and it gets COMPLETELY crazy after school. The owner has banned students from entering, but sometimes, that is hard to monitor. I am a teacher at one of the stated schools, and I avoid this place right after school. You'll be waiting a very long time to pay for your food. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall with best gas station Mexican food. Mexican pizzas are always on point and the green juice.

The family wanted Mexican food to go. The chicken burrito was good, the chicken chimichanga was good, rice and frijoles were good. The beef tacos, only eaten by the wife- gave her nausea all night. read more

I work super close to here and I got a groupon, so what the heck...I thought I would give gas station food a try! I'm always up for adventures! They try to combine fast food with a sit down restaurant. You wait in line, order, sit down and eat amidst the chips and pop, THEN get up to get your bill and go pay at the gas station. Good food, decent prices, weird situation. Would I go back? Yes. Would it be my first choice in the area? Only if I was in a rush. read more

Christina A....I have 4 words for you- Are you kidding me. My waist line has gotten larger and my second chin is growning by the minute. The food is absolutely declious. Before every Tiger and Lion - I have to make a stop read more

Fresh squeezed Orange juice, food cooked right before your eyes, they are super, super clean . . . . What else ? Hmmmmm. Oh yeah, best breakfast burritos ! read more

Ordered three enchiladas for takeout, and only received two. Worst refried beans and Spanish rice I've had. Grey and flavorless.

Please! Please! Please! Don't be put off by the Detroit location. Their food is so darn good! The Fish Tacos are the bomb and their chips and guacamole are beyond delicious! The seasoning they add to the chips is what makes them crack! So addictive. Salsa is fresh and also delicious and so are the burritos. Trust and Believe you can not get anything bad from them! read more

I love this hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. It's located in a gas station and gets busy during lunch but it's so worth the wait. The shrimp tacos are so good and fresh. I also love their burritos but don't go asking for a veggie burrito! One of my coworkers went there to pick up food for us. I been craving a veggie burrito. When I think of a veggie burrito I think of grilled veggies with rice,beans,cheese,lettuce,hot peppers and a sauce right! But that wasn't what I got and I should of had her ask but she came back supper upset. One of the workers was rude to her and just didn't want to listen to what she was trying to explain! So I got my burrito and it had lettuce cheese dice tomatoes and onions it! It was such a waste of 7 bucks! But everything else in the menu is really good! I just hope they work in their costumer service!! I would of gave it 5 stars but since service is not always good I gave it a 4 star! read more
