Edit 2: it seems this business attracts the type of customers and/or business or personally affiliated mostly anonymous online who inundate any dissenters with objections & irrelevancies to a practically harassing degree. What a shitty environment to cultivate. You took it too far. Its a bad review. Take the l and learn but don't send people after reviewers. Bad form. Negative one star.
Edit: just because I don't write the updated information of establishments I continue to frequent does not mean i am unaware of the unnecessary details that don't necessitate further and superfluous explanations. I am well aware of sw families in suburbs, a few of whom I am acquainted with. Mansplaining, everywhere.
I wanted to get something quick but not terribly unhealthy when I was in an unfamiliar area so I stopped at the truck on Telegraph in Brownstown. I ordered 2 tacos de al pastor and an horchata.
Side note- I'm indigenous Mexican American born in Texas, raised in southwest Detroit (Mexicantown & Mexican Village area) and my parents owned a Mexican restaurant for 20 years in the 80s and 90s (burned down in 2001, where the Gordie Howe bridge is being built now at Fort & Dragoon). I grew up before Detroit had as many taquerias as they do now but Lupita's & Los Altos were staples (Mi Pueblo came later & is just decent).
That said, this was the most horrid Mexican food I've had in a very long time. The al pastor has a lot of extra sauce; it almost tasted as if they were hiding something. It was not normal or tasty. The tortillas were not cooked to a brown tint at all- they looked barely heated or heated in the microwave. But the most egregious was the horchata. I've never had a more watered down drink in my life. I did not drink it at all.
Another thing that I did not respect about this business was that there was a customer parked directly in front of the truck for the entire duration I was there ordering and waiting for my food. It was dangerous as well, since the SUV was parked precariously close to the driveway into the gas station but in a spot that someone would not see them until they were already turned into the driveway. I mentioned it to the proprietor but he said, verbatim, "I can't do anything about it."
I told him yes, he could. But he didn't. And the entitled man in the Jesus or God vanity plate was free to endanger other people in their selfish endeavors, empowered by this absolutely dreadful taco truck with no sense of leadership or accountability.
Please take the time to go to Detroit or even the Taco Stand in Taylor. They are authentic and even cheaper; the regular Taco rate is 1.50-1.75. Suburban inferior Mexican food establishments frequently inflates their prices.
Never ever ever again. And as a veteran I could eat anything. Except this. read more
