Ordered the chips trio (with salsa, guacamole and queso as an appetizer.AMAZING)!!! Blueberry…read moremargarita for me, strawberry mango for the wife. DELICIOUS!!! Loma Saltado for the wife (sirloin came out in chunks, not strips) flavor on point!!!! My Asada, Pollo and Pastor street tacos were the BOMB along with the bacon wrapped pepper!!! MARIA IS AN AWESOME SERVER!!! Edit: Maria proved again why she's the best!!! The wife left an expensive lipstick on the booth seat and Maria (seeing the brand) immediately called and said she'd hold onto it until the next time!!! It was Mac brand from her daughter for a Christmas present-perfect Red!!!No need!!! We'll turn around for a few additional drinks now!!! Once we got there, Amy at the bar took excellent care of our drinks!!! WE WILL BE BACK!!!

I love me a California Burrito so I ordered takeout to try Mezcal's version. Food was ready within…read morea couple of minutes of when it was said it would be ready. Cool spot they have. Little patio with some seats and then couple different dining areas. Started with chips and guac. Very big portion on chips and the guac was large as well. The chips were fine. Could have used some more salt (most places don't salt them enough), but they were fresh so that was good. The guac was solid. Nothing noteworthy, but I liked it. As for the burrito, it was very good. Nice portion and the asada was very tender and flavorful. Never know with that. The fries were crispy as well which is always a worry. I had some of the salsa it came with which really elevated the burrito. If you're in the area, stop by. Would return.

We sat outside and the weather was great for it. We ordered the guacamole with totopos, enchiladas, arroz, papas bravas, aguachile verde, and pescado. Everything was seasoned well, especially the aguachile. The shrimp was cooked with the citrus very well and we liked the heat to it. The duck enchiladas have great flavor and the sauce cuts through the fattiness very well. The arroz was nice and soft and complimented the enchiladas well. My dates said the papas were cooked and mixed well. Finally, the star of the courses was the pescado. It was grilled to perfection and the salad goes well with it along with the lime. Now, the tortillas were next level and so so soft. Putting everything on the tortillas made it so much better because of the texture from them. The salsa they put on each side of the pescado each had their own notes, but I think roja was the table favorite. What I loved most is that everything was carefully seasoned and I didn't need to salt anything or need extra salsa. Since we did get to wait a bit for the table, we got to watch the kitchen while standing next to the ofrenda. The chefs all were working as a team and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the dishes they put out. Dessert was probably one of the prettiest tres leches I've ever seen. The coconut came through but didn't overpower anything. The ratio of the milk to cake was great and also there was a hint of something else I couldn't put my finger on. I hope the next time we're in Detroit that we can come back.

I was craving a burrito and decided to try something new. After spotting a few solid reviews for…read moreTaqueria El Rincon Tapatio, I figured I'd give them a shot and wow, what a find! 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. If you haven't tried Taqueria El Rincon Tapatio yet, do yourself a favor and get there ASAP. Highly recommend! Check out my Instagram for more @hangry_detroiter
