El Paisa is located in the parking lot of Sam's Supermercado…read more(http://www.yelp.com/biz/sams-supermercado-detroit). I got two tacos - al pastor and carne asada. I made the mistake of getting everything to go, meaning the tacos were wrapped in a foil packet, the grilled onions and half a grilled jalapeno were in another foil packet, and the sliced raw radishes and lime were in yet another foil packet. Cups of red and green salsas were also carefully tucked in the bag. I really liked the tacos. I thought the carne asada was a little tough, though, and liked the pastor better (the flavor was really good too). The cilantro was fresh and the flavor really shone. In the three trucks that we stopped at that day, El Paisa's cilantro packed the biggest punch, which is a very good thing in my book... I'm a cilantro fiend. I also liked that the raw onions were very finely chopped. I usually HATE raw onions, but these finely chopped onions added just the right amount of bite. As for the salsas, I thought I'd like the green better but ended up enjoying the spiciness of the red more. Well, it wasn't that spicy but it had a bit of heat to it (kinda like a mild-medium), which was much needed, since everything else was pretty mild, including the grilled jalapeno. When I bit into it, I thought it was a green pepper in the shape and size of a jalapeno. For $1.25 a taco, I got a decent amount of food and would be able to make a meal out of 3-4 tacos. Mmm... tacos... :)

Delicious feast, TONS of sauteed onions, generous with the radishes…read more Stopped here today to check out the pollo and cabeza tacos for the first time. Great great stuff. I think they might have the biggest menu selection of any of the trucks... anyone else agree? The cabeza is diced very finely, much more so than the norm, which was interesting. I think i prefer a slightly rougher cut (on the other end of the spectrum is El Pariente's cabeza, which has much more texture per bite), but El Paisa's style took nothing away from the flavors. A small but notable detail was that the limes served here, unlike most of the competition, were extremely fresh and juicy, barely had to apply any pressure to get quite a bit of that great lime juice onto the meats, and nothing goes better with cabeza than a little salsa and a lot of lime juice. so good. The pollo was standard, but, as you all know, standard in SW taco truck land is absolute tastiness. Other things I noticed: 1) catching a bad break i suppose, the strong wind today was carrying the truck exhaust (since the truck was running) up alongside the eating counter... so I smelled faintly like a lawnmower when I return home... too bad, didn't really notice while i was eating, thankfully. 2) two tacos and a coke was $3.75 ... a score of a deal by any measure... well, except by taco truck measure... EITHER their tacos are 25 cents more than the competition, or their cokes are a little pricier... a really puny value difference ultimately, and doesn't stop me from giving El Paisa my full-hearted approval. This truck sits in the parking lot of the plaza at Vernor Hwy and Lansing St. WEEKENDS only. CASH only.

I tried two chicken tacos, which were relatively satisfying. The tacos were simple, as a true taco should be (tortilla, meat, cilantro and onions; that's all). All in all, the tacos were good but not great. I was thinking about going back again soon to give these guys a second chance, but then I read Janelle's review. She sounds like a taco truck connoisseur. Based off her review I've decided I'm gonna move on and try lunch from another truck. However, one of these days I'll go back for the nana. Curious.

I parked myself in line to see what all the fuss was about and I am so happy my curiosity took me here! I tried the shrimp tacos once and have been totally hooked ever since.

I am usually not a fan of guacamole, but theirs is so fresh and good that I never mind a big scoop on top of my taco. My friends say the Korean beef taco is delicious but because of my addiction to the shrimp tacos, I may never be able to give a first hand account.

We got the Korean beef taco and wow that is not Korean beef. The beef was basically ground, cooked to death so it was dry, and then drenched in some overly sweet sauce that is supposed to probably pass as bulolgi like sauce? Um no. That is not like Korean beef whatsoever. Terrible. Clearly these people have never had real Korean food. The pork belly taco had fried pork belly cubes that were also fried to death and drier than the Sahara desert. Like wow that is criminal how their dried out that poor piece of fatty pork belly. I've never had such terrible pork belly before. It's so fatty that..I don't even know how they did that. The guacamole on top could only do so much. The beef brisket taco, was again insanely dry. Sorry, but these people do not know how to cook meat. This one was more palatable. The only saving grace was their Shrimp taco. The shrimp was flavorful an cooked well. Also tried the jalapeño lime-aid and you really get that's spicy jalapeño kick. The limeade itself was just overly bitter like when you leave the lime rinds inside too long. TL;DR - super disappointed. The food was BAD. Only the shrimp taco was good. Don't understand why they had such a long line. Would not come back and would not recommend.
