The shrimp taco was fantastic, and the beef taco was just as good. The corn tortillas seemed to be lightly fried, giving them a wonderful texture and authentic flavor.

The dining area is small, with seating for around 20 people, but that's part of the charm. It's a casual, no-frills little spot where the food is clearly the star. Everything we tried was delicious.

Take a seat anywhere you like; we chose to sit at the bar. This is a well-equipped bar for such a casual setting: Dos Equis, Modelo, Bell's, and Sierra Rose hard cider. Waaaaay better than Chi-Chis (and any real Mexican restaurant I can think of, too). And, my wife ordered a margarita, and she loved it. Best of all, the price was very reasonable: $17 after tip for the margarita and a large Dos Equis. Food orders are placed at a separate counter, and they are ready quickly. A single fish taco is a good size, and only costs $4.75. The daily special is $10.29, and includes two tacos, rice, and beans, with a small up charge for the fish tacos. I feel like I've traveled back in time to the last century with these prices. The fish tacos are outstanding. The fish is freshly prepared, and not fried. You will want to get more than one to make it a meal, and the rice and beans in the combo are a nice complement. The rice could have used more seasoning, but this is easily corrected by mixing in some salsa. This is truly a wonderful find.

A small taco shop in a nondescript strip mall, Miny's is turning out some seriously impressive and authentic tacos on par with places I love in Southern California. My friends and I swung by around dinnertime and while it was not crowded, there was a steady flow of customers and take-out orders. There is no dining area, but there are tables outside where one can sit and eat. I ordered 3 tacos: al pastor, cabeza, and Cameron, with spicy salsas on the side. The total was about ~$13. The first thing that stood out to me was the size. These were some hefty tacos, lovingly double-wrapped in pliable, warm, corn tortillas and neatly packaged for takeout. Salsa can be hit or miss but the salsas here were SO GOOD. Made in-house, they add the perfect moisture and flavor to each bite. Their green salsa has a mild, tingling kick, and tastes very rich and refreshing. The orange creamy salsa, however, stole the show. It is spicier than the green, and has a super addicting smokiness that enhances, but doesn't overpower, every bite. I was bright red and sweating but could not put this salsa down. The al pastor taco was my favorite. Sweet, soft, smoky pork with the crunch and freshness of onions and cilantro, drenched in the above salsas, simply divine! I wish it had come with pineapple for a pop of sweetness, but it was still a super good taco. I was thrilled to see that Miny's offered cabeza and lengua, as they are cuts of meat less familiar to the average American diner. I opted for cabeza and was greeted with a pile of soft, collagen-rich meat, bursting with juice and oil. The meat by itself is definitely a bit bland so the salsas did the heavy lifting in terms of flavor. The gooey-soft texture though, that was all due to the perfectly cooked meat. This was a pricier taco than the Al pastor, and there was definitely a bit less meat than in the Al pastor, but still a very good taco. The shrimp taco impressed me the least. The shrimp were unseasoned and looked to be boiled. While bouncy and tender cooked in this way, I prefer the char and juiciness of grilled shrimp in my tacos. In addition, I tend to expect my seafood tacos to have a slaw on them, versus the standard onions and cilantro. With the salsas, this taco was fine, but I would not order it another time. A very healthy but uninspired taco. Overall, for where it's located and what it is, Miny's does some amazing tacos, though I will probably skip the seafood ones next time. I will be DREAMING of that orange salsa, and now understand why on their menu, they sell it by the carton.

Glad to see the establishment expand out to Ann Arbor. The place was busy when we stopped by,…read moreplaced our order online and picked it up. We got multiple items, however my favorite was al pastor. The asada was tough to eat and chewy unfortunately. Pick up only at this location.

I moved to A2 from Chicago in 2000, and this place reminds me of those little taco shops I used to go to in Wicker Park in the 90's. They have a great marinated lamb taco, although the pork (Al Pastor) is the one I would recommend for sure. You can get a mexican coke with real sugar in the cooler and take it to go. They also have a handy grocery store if you need to pick up some tomatoes or garlic or mexican cheese. read more

I've been to Taqueria La Marqueza a few times now and each time has left me wanting to go back immediately. The food is spectacular, and the staff is super friendly; they were really helpful in trying to understand the best options. My personal recommendation: get the Chorizo! It's fantastically seasoned, and truly leaves you wanting to eat about 7 metric tons of it. It's great in the tacos, and their burrito is an excellent value as well. If you're doing a takeout order, my pro-tip is to get some tacos and order a burrito for lunch the next day! The restaurant's red & green salsas are both excellent -- make sure to grab some extra because you'll probably want to drink it with a straw. Still reading the review? Is Taqueria La Marqueza open?

I placed a large takeout order at La Marqueza Taqueria and, after getting home, discovered that my $11.56 chicken quesadilla was completely missing from the bag. Mistakes happen. Someone forgetting a quesadilla would not, by itself, have caused me to leave a negative review. What bothered me was the response when I tried to get the situation resolved. The employee told me, essentially, "I'm not giving you anything. I'm not the owner. The owner is out of town for the next two weeks. I don't have contact with him. I'm here by myself. There is no compensation for you." My choices were to drive all the way back to the restaurant so he could make the quesadilla, or drive all the way back to receive my $11.56 refund. That means the restaurant made the mistake, but I had to absorb the time, gas, and inconvenience required to correct it. I wasn't expecting anything outrageous or trying to get free food. I simply asked whether there was anything they could do to acknowledge the fact that their mistake required me to make an additional round trip. There wasn't. What was especially concerning was being told that the person working apparently had no authority to resolve a customer-service problem beyond replacing or refunding the missing item, couldn't contact the owner, and that the owner wouldn't be available for two weeks. A restaurant can make a mistake. What matters is how it handles that mistake. An $11.56 quesadilla turned into a much bigger customer-service issue than it ever needed to be. A simple gesture or even an effort to acknowledge the inconvenience would have gone a long way. Instead, I was basically told: come back for your food, come back for your money, or there's nothing else I can do for you. That experience definitely affected whether I would choose to spend my money here again.
