    We had this food truck at the Michigan State Fair grounds. I liked that unlike the other vendors, they did not charge for me to use my credit card. The people working were nice.I liked the variety of tacos and food they had on the menu. We got a birria taco. It was $5. It has a nice amount of beef and it tasted pretty good. They had some salsa and sour cream which is a bonus. I have never seen a food truck or restaurant have sour cream to add on your own. Nice! The problem was that it said birria, but there was no sauce on top, it was dry, no cheese, and very small for the price. We ate it in three bites.

    I stumbled across this place by accident and I am so happy that I did! I was driving through Mexicantown and I saw a line of people ordering tacos at this food truck and I knew I had to see what the hype was about. I ordered the pastor and chorizo taco, both of which were phenomenal and loaded! For $2.50 tacos, you can beat this spot! They have a salsa bar off to the side and the avocado salsa was definitely my favorite. There are a lot of taco food trucks out there and this is one you need to stop at!

    Papaya and mango with chamoy. Elotes.

    Came here for dinner on sunday night with my fiance. There was one person in front of us. This is a food truck juat off 75 with a private parking lot. We ordered tripas (tripe), lengua (beef tongue), and cabeza (beef head). Also ordered a horchata and it only.comes in pne size small. Tacos were good but it is wrapped in foil so be prepared if you are eating this in your car. They have a few tables to eat under the tent. After enjoying our tacos we got elotes and fruit (mango and papaya) with chamoy in the little truck behind this taco truck in the same lot. No photos of tacos because we were so hungry

    Oldest continuous operating Taco Truck in Detroit Tacos El Caballo, I've been a customer over 12 years. They have thousands of regular customers, easy to find just off I 75 Springwells n 5 blocks corner of Longworth. Only Taco Truck has a Drive Thru Window or you can walk up other side of truck. Has tables for a dozen plus and a Salsa Bar, bet your Taco Truck doesn't have that. My Favorite the Al Pastor Tacos OMG Delicious , I always get four comes with Salsa Onions and Jalapeno $10 out the door. Many other items Burrito and Quesadillas to choose from. Fills me belly with Love truly a must visit for the Authentic Mexican food on the cheap. Open year round the flow of customers never stop, has three workers inside working both sides of truck, very unique operation. Find hundreds of 5 star reviews around the web Google Yelp Instagram n Facebook. #tacoselcaballo @tacoselcaballo #tacotruck #alpastor #taco #drivethrutacos #lowprices #eatswdetroit #downriverfriendseat

    I always enjoy the soup here. Usually I get the seafood soup and I'm never disappointed…read more This visit I got the beef soup. Lots of tender chunks of flavorful beef swimming in a delicious broth with potato, carrots, onion and some kind of squash. It comes with rice and beans. I sometimes add that to my soup as well. Instead of crackers I use tortilla chips. The chicken soup is equally as good. I don't know why more Mexican restaurants don't offer this option. Mexican soup is much different than gringo soup. I cut everything up into tiny pieces. Mexican soup is entire carrots, a potato cut in half, half an onion. That said it totally works. I highly recommend the soup at Lupita's.

Heads up; it's cash only (atm with $3 fee in the building) and 1 bill per table. I ordered 5 quesadillas to sample the different meats. I'll go from best to worst. The cabeza was rich, but not too overpowering which I've experienced before. No fat either which was great. The asada had a nice flavor and was perfectly tender. The pollo was equally flavorful and tender. All 3 get an A grade. The carnitas was pretty good, but not as tender as the others. Solid B. Finally, the pastor was a bit underwhelming. Simply too saucy to fully enjoy it. A C grade on that. Only negative would be how greasy they were. The tortillas were absolutely drenched in grease which wasn't great. Overall, a solid experience. Wish I would've degreased the tortillas more.

I came last night and it was really busy. I ordered a carnitas burrito, one of my favorites. The food took over 45 minutes to come after we ordered it. Our table ordered 5 tacos and a burrito.... 45 minutes is outrageous. Once it finally came, my burrito was about half the size of what it typically is (posted a photo of my last burrito from here for reference) Then, they cut the burrito and there were pieces of foil all in the burrito (pictured) really not okay. The worst part, there were three massive bones in my burrito!!!!! When I complained, they said that carnitas has bones in it... I've never had bones in my burrito. They asked if I wanted something else and I said I want the same burrito but without bones and they told me that if I got the same meat it would probably also have bones in it so they didn't remake it for me. If I bit down on it I could've broken my tooth or choked. Really really disappointed with my experience last night. I'll be back because this isn't "normal" for them, but I'm really disappointed. The manager ended up comping my burrito and explained to me that sometimes baby bones get through the meat when they're cooking it... you can see from the picture we're not talking about baby bones- these were three massive quarter size bones

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.
