Love this Real family establishment. We were greeted by a Young man" very warmly. He asked if we had reservations. We did and asked if we had a preference. This was done after making sure all empty seating areas were clean Casual dining No alcohol Good Food. Appreciated that the waitress offered excellent suggestions that aligned with what we " could eat" Waitress suggested 2 of her favorites and that we then share plates 1 small little note Attention to restroom would have made this 100% Food was excellent and Authentic so I chose to not lower rating read more

Fairly new establishment, located in Southwest Detroit. Quaint and cozy inside. The complementary chips and salsa were delicious, as well as the backyard Asada and Quesa Birria. Probably one of the best we've had in this area. We waited around 40 minutes for our two simple meals to be delivered to our table. Unfortunately, the owner has now decided to do catering, and it has interfered with the dining room service wait times. We will definitely order again, but next time I think we will do carryout! read more

Great new addition to the metro Detroit food scene! It very much feels like a taqueria in Mexico -- nothing fancy but warm and inviting. The staff is super friendly and the service is quick. The food was delicious. I split the queso fundido and guacamole with some friends and both went fast. I ordered 4 tacos. The Birria tacos might be some of the best in town. And the Ay Papa! were good but not as noteworthy. The owner/chef came by to chat with us and he seemed really nice and genuine -- definitely the type of person that's easy to support. Will definitely be back! read more

Tacos Wuey opened its doors in July 2025. Prior to dining in, I was intrigued by the menu. Chef Eddie Vargas put together a collection of fusion dishes you're not likely to find elsewhere. Rather than traditional tortilla chips, meals start with flour chicharrones. The salsa they came with had some kick to it. The birria egg roll appetizer was too enticing to pass up. They were a bit dry, but the arugula and consommé they were served with complemented them well. The spaghetti verde con milanesa was another dish I had to try. This pasta dish features a pablano-based sauce and is topped with fried chicken cutlets. The sauce was mild, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I also tried 4 different tacos, ranked below: 1. Birria 2. Carne Asada 3. Milanesa 4. Orejón (pig ears) For dessert, I ordered flan. It was simple, but had a nice presentation. Using caramel, Chef Eddie signed his initials on the plate, and topped the flan with a piece of caramel bark. There are numerous quality Mexican restaurants in the Metro Detroit area, but few offer a menu as unique as Tacos Wuey. My first experience here was enjoyable, and I'm confident my next visit will be even better. read more

Was told by a local to try this place. Walked in and found they don't serve alcohol but I could buy it from a store across the street and bring it in. Brought in a Negra Modelo. Had guacamole which was good but lacked spice, lime and salt. Server brought items right away. Got Bierria and asada tacos. Both were good. read more

This place was in my radar for an over a month. The reviews are accurate. The appetizer, entree, and dessert was on point! Our waitress was friendly and helpful. We had a 5pm reservation and were seated immediately. I loved the horchata con cafe. My friend said that the hibiscus mango beverage was equally delicious. I can't wait to return read more

Tacos Wuey is not your typical taco spot. The menu has an upscale twist that sets it apart, with creative and flavorful tacos that taste like something straight out of a fine dining experience. I've been a handful of times since it opened just a few months ago! One of my absolute favorites is the Molcajete. It is rich, full of flavor, and easily one of the best I have ever had. The aguas frescas are also amazing, each made with a fun twist that keeps things refreshing and unique. The ambiance is great, stylish yet comfortable, and perfect for a cute date night or a fun evening with friends. There is parking in the back, which makes it super convenient. The owner also hosts monthly five course dinners, and every one I have tried has been delicious and beautifully presented. You can tell the chef puts real heart and creativity into every dish. If you want something different, flavorful, and full of good vibes, Tacos Wuey is the spot. Highly recommend supporting this small owned business! read more

The food was amazing and our server Fatima gave us the best suggestions. Be sure to try the Gobernador and the Creme Brulee, they both were delish! They just added two more regular customers to the mix. read more

Checked this place out randomly since I was in the area with friends. I really liked the barria tacos and they were able to make it without cilantro. The Milanesa tacos were okay, but not really something I'd order again. They gave us some samples of sauces. I really liked the jalapeño one. My friend really liked the fish tacos and the barria ramen was good too. Unfortunately the guacamole dip was lacking in seasoning so it was a bit bland. Our waitress/hostess was very nice and checked in on us a lot despite how busy it got. The place is small, but has cute decor and a decent amount of seating. I think they are probably a little pricey for the size of the tacos, but it was still not expensive. read more

Restaurant capacity is 40. Multiple low tables. So much on the menu that I want to try. I have no choice but to go back. We were given a sampler of sauces, and all (but the bean) sauce were tasty (because I don't like beans, I didnt even try it.) We had decided on our order until Tina told us the special: "carne" something I believe My bf switched to that, and it looked and tasted glorious. He also ordered orejon (pig ears). I had expected them to be rubbery and flavorless. They were the complete opposite. They had flavor & the texture was a soft crispyness. I would definitely eat pig ears again! The horchata isn't watered down or overly sweet. I got camarones yucatecos and taco-l-gando. The rice & shrimp in the sauce were very well seasoned. The steak in the tacos were tender & well seasoned as well. I was offered tortillas with my plate but I declined bc I had 2 tacos to eat . I'm looking forward to my next trip to try something else! read more

If you are looking for fancy Mexican food, this is your place. If you are looking for a traditional taqueria, this is not the place for you. We got the quesabirria and the spaghetti verde con milanesa for our main courses and both were very tasty. As an appetizer we got the guacamole with pork belly chicharrón. The appetizer was not as good as the main course, and I would not purchase again. The chicharrón needed to be cooked more to have some sort of a crisp to it and the guacamole was lacking salt. My husband got the horchata to drink, which he really enjoyed, but felt there was more ice than horchata. For dessert we had the Dubai chocolate churros, which were really good. Service was great! The inside just had a standard look to it. Overall I personally would come back for the spaghetti verde con milanesa and the churros. read more

Amazing customer service, the appetizers were all amazing. We had the cheese fondue, the elotes, and the guacamole. Probably the best guac I've ever had. Than the steak tacos were very tasty. Loved the tamarind drink, is on the sweet side. The pasta with chicken Milanese could have been a bit more flavorful but overall worth it. Very good food. read more

A different and unique approach from the usual Mexican food available in the area. The Torta de Chilaquiles is the surprise favorite for me. The inside of the restaurant is also really well designed and put together. Service was a little choppy but that could just be first days hiccups and the sudden rush of traffic that started flowing in when were there. read more

What a charming little spot! Starting with the salsa and chicharrones, to the specialty salsas brought to my table, the authentic music, and even my waitress singing along to the tunes. There was also a traditional ofrenda set up for the upcoming Día de los Muertos. Starting with the salsa, the main tomato-based one was medium heat, onion-forward, and truly flavorful. The server brought out two specialty salsas: one was a mango habanero, and the other was an avocado Serrano. Both were packed with flavor, mild in heat, and excellent on the pinwheels. I ordered the ribeye fajitas and was not disappointed. Imagine grilling a ribeye, slicing it thick for fajitas, then adding grilled vegetables and serving with pico de gallo, fresh guacamole, and sour cream. I would have preferred a bit more salt on the meat. I tried the churro cheesecake and was somewhat disappointed. It had an excellent presentation, but the "cheesecake" was dense and almost rubbery, and the "crust" was nearly bread-like. The only redeeming feature was that it had that cinnamon churro flavor. The presentations were all spectacular, the food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a must-try if you enjoy Mexican cuisine! read more

First customer of the grand opening. Highly recommend the birria tacos. Great taste and texture. Beautiful presentation. Preferred the birria taco over the quesobirria (too greasy) Potato taco could use more salt/seasoning. read more

We visited Tacos Wuey recently, and while the establishment is quite small with limited parking, we found the culinary experience to be unique and creative, departing from traditional Mexican cuisine in an enjoyable way. We particularly appreciated the innovative approach to Mexican food. The horchata with eggnog and jamaica with pickled pear drinks were absolutely delicious, though we suspect they may be seasonal offerings. The appetizer and main dishes we ordered were quite tasty, but we would have preferred to receive three tacos instead of two, as we found ourselves still a bit hungry. It does seem rather expensive to order more than three items from the menu. read more

Tacos Wuey is a little different. Some traditional Mexican flavors but with a twist. The dining room has a minimalist, yet comfortable vibe - tables with a couple of booths, clean lighting, and a moustache motif adorns the walls. The staff was very pleasant, even if a bit slow with orders. The food makes up for it with complex and creative flavors in recognizable dishes (tacos, ramen). read more

We went there on our way downtown for an event at the opera house. My husband had the Birria Egg Rolls and I had El Valde Shrimp style Both were delicious! The sauces put them over the top. We also had Horchata drinks with coffee, that was also amazing. The best part was our waitress who explained all the dishes for us and was extremely hospitable. We will be back! read more

An absolute gem of a restaurant. In an area with numerous competitors, Taco Wuey really stands out. The service is top notch and incredibly accommodating. The menu is creative and the chicharróns instead of chips to start is a nice touch. While everything from the tacos to the guacamole app are great, the real star is the Birria and the consome. The meat is so tender and the consome has layers that scream hours and hours of preparation while avoiding being too salty. 10/10 run don't walk to Taco Wuey. My only regret is not leaving room for dessert. read more

This place is something to rave about. Lovely aesthetic that's a bit more elevated than typical Mexican restaurants, but still casual, charming. The music was on point with the volume just right to hold a conversation but not too low that it feels awkward during pauses. And the food?! Riquísima, tan fresca, absolutamente exquisita. We were well tended to and I know this is just the first of many more visits to come. Hands down my new favorite spot. read more

Fabulous flavors and incredible service by Chef Eddie and his team. There are so many unique and flavorful dishes here, even with 5 people, we could not try them all. We'll be coming back soon to try more. Everything we ordered was culinary perfection. Guacamole is a must have and be sure to add the pork belly and chicken skins. Birria is exceptional on any of the dishes where it's offered. It's very easy to order too much here, but we enjoyed the left-overs for a couple days. Don't forget the Ceviche. read more

Chef Eddie is Detroit's taco genius. I loved his residencies at Frame Bar (RIP). Needless to say i was highly anticipating this place. Tried the wings, queso, gobernador tacos, birria tacos, chicken chicharron and cauliflower tacos. Everything was great. Shrimp and Birria tacos were my favorite. Queso was impossibly cheesy. Wings were a sleeper as well. You should drop everything and eat here. read more
