Heard about this local rum bar from a tiki friend. I would definitely say it's tiki adjacent and has the best if not one of the best rum selections in southeast Michigan. Dave, one of the partners, and Liz, our bartender, were so welcoming and knowledgeable. Took us forever to choose rums for our daiquiris due to the vast number of rums they have available. The front is a cozy bar and the back has games. We stayed in the adult section up front. They have food on the menu, but I was having liquid lunch on this visit. Parking is easy on the street. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Tocororo is right next to Eastern Market, so it's a fantastic location to hit if you're visiting the area on a weekend. It's got plenty of seating and we were able to just walk in pretty easily. We ordered the buffalo curry fries as an appetizer and I ordered the chimichurri lamb burger as my main. I thought it was excellent, had a ton of flavor, and I would definitely go back for it again, as well as trying some of the other options. Solid prices, good portions, and great flavors. Definitely recommend for a casual lunch stop next to a great area in Detroit! read more

This place is celiac friendly. They offer a gluten-free bun on the burgers Really great location right next to the eastern market ambience is very dark and mysterious and playful . That's accentuated by the fact that they have a lot of games that you can pick up and play at your table while you wait the very short amount of time for your food to come out.. This place probably has one of the best burgers I've ever had, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful to accommodate our needs read more

We came here for the arcade area, but came back a second and third time for the food. Tocoroco is the bar/restaurant side and the food is unreal. The whole place is amazing! They have a very nice cocktail menu with a mixologist behind the bar that knows how to make a perfect cocktail. My favorite they have is the Cranberry Botida. It has all the flavors that a cocktail girl like myself wants. Within the restaurant, there are many games to play with +2 people. The menu is short, but they know what they're doing. Their burgers are top notch gourmet burgers. Now the arcade that's connected is an absolute gem. They have SEGA, +20 pinball machines and a CD jukebox. This is the place! read more

ToCorro is a fantastic spot if you're craving fresh, flavorful Mexican food with a modern twist. The menu is packed with delicious options, from tacos to burritos, and everything feels super fresh and well-prepared. The standout for me is definitely the tacos--soft corn tortillas loaded with juicy meat options (the carnitas and barbacoa are top-tier), and the salsas are packed with flavor without being overly spicy. The service and the ambience is great! It has fun board games and I enjoy the vibe. Everyone is friendly and will come back. Tip: you order at the bar and around the corner there is an arcade! read more

We only got a drink as we were pressed for time but the service was excellent and we enjoyed our drinks! It's a fun atmosphere with a bar with 2 TVs (one was playing Bob Ross & the other was playing PawsTV) and has tables in a pretty nice space. There are a ton of board games that you can grab and play. Tocororo is also connected to an arcade place next door. Tocororo is located right next to Thomas Magee (Eastern Market is close by but this is located on the other side of I-75, on the service drive). There is free street parking along the service drive (at least, we didn't see any signs like parking Zone signs). We definitely have to come back to try the food as it smelled SO good - Indian and curry spices YUM!! If the food is as amazing as the smells, this place is 5-stars for sure! Yay for a new place to visit! read more

After a fun mug making event at Dtown Vinyl my friends and I came to Tocororo for food and drinks. You order at the bar and they bring your food to the table. They are a rum bar and have a ton of rum options. I will be back to try the rum drinks. I had been drinking tequila earlier so I wanted to stay with that. They only have 3 types of tequila but made me a quick drink. My friends ordered the jerk chicken chowder and said it was delicious. I got there late so it was sold out before I could order. I got the bacon jam burger with fries. The burger was juicy and well seasoned. The fries are also seasoned. They have recently added a small arcade behind the bar that has vintage pinball games. Most of the games are .75-$1 each. They also have board and card games that you can take to your table to play with your group. I will definitely be back. read more

Found this place on a fluke and loved it. The address on E Fisher Fwy threw me, but it is between Thomas Magee's and the meat market over the bridge and to the south of the main Eastern Market. Owners Connor and David are entire operation, with Connor on the drinks side and David working the food. We started with cherry bbq chips and chervre cheese and moved on to burgers and fries. Both burgers were delicious and loved the buffalo curry fries. I thought the ambiance was perfect, laid back, nice background music, anduted TV's playing pet video station and Bob Ross ;). I was impressed that Connor and Davidade a point of calling us by name - I guess you're only a stranger once! I can see that stopping in for drinks and/or food to or from an event would be ideal. Great find! read more

Food was excellent!! The bathrooms weren't very nice and I wish they had beer on tap, but I would definitely visit Tocororo again.

KETO FRIENDLY *** food GREAT, service GREAT, ambiance chill and fun. I came here after work one night, my second visit. First visit I had no food restrictions, this time I came and I'm Keto and really trying to eliminate sugar. I got the jerk chicken chowder, there are white carrots instead of potatoes!!! So good, get TWO. I ordered a burger no bun, fries chips etc ... chef brings it out with extra veggies, pickles and onions chopped up so I can actually enjoy it. I know this is a great place bc the energy was the same the first time I came. THIS is hospitality. Bartender/server Connor is always working the room like a pro even filling up waters when there is a water station available. Also, they have these cool chicken thighs and legs on the menu so if you're keto you can actually eat , watch the sauce tho. ;) read more

Tocororo - My modified burger - Burgers Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

this place goes! i came down here to play some pinball at Offworld and was completely caught off guard by the fact it's a side room connected to one hell of a gem in Eastern Market. not only is the ambiance pretty great, they have a seasonal menu for drinks and eats. i wound up getting three different drinks that were strong and presented beautifully. the vegan fish sandwich was pretty excellent, as the pickled veg and slaw on it was great. the "fish" itself was just a pair of gardein fishless filets which on one hand was disappointing, but very few places move enough product to warrant making a banana blossom filet or something like that. adding $3 to my order got me a solid serving of fries that come with a fairly unique seasoning to them. old bay? seasoning salt? either way, they were salty, crispy, and delicious. overall, good on offworld and tocororo for coming together like this. since scout's closure in ferndale, it looks like this will be my new regular pinballcade and boozery. read more

After enjoying a show at the Fisher Theatre, hubby and I had a taste for a delicious burger just randomly did a google search and found this Gem of a restaurant. We ordered the "House Cheese Burger" and it was absolutely scrumptious! The fresh bun was toasted, plump green leafy lettuce, juicy fresh tomatoes, American cheese, red onions and chargrilled ground beef served fresh from the meat market next door! Did I forget to mention the house French fries with a touch of the right amount of salt! When I tell you this is a must stop! Believe me! We will definitely be returning with friends and you should too! Chef's kiss Excellent Service Beautiful Ambiance read more

So I really had no idea what to expect at this restaurant- transparently I thought it would be Mexican food! Instead we were greeted with delicious chicken legs, well seasoned fries, and burgers. The chicken was insanely good and a great price for the portion. These aren't rinky dink legs, you'll leave feeling full! The interior is nothing too fancy but there's a plethora of board games to choose from should your group like to play + a full bar for drinks. Service was great and our waiter was very helpful in making suggestions. He let us know some of the apps, drink specials, and sauces will change quarterly so be sure to check in once in a while to see what's new. read more

Wow, this burger. You need to go get it. And it will filllllll you up! Love the side of fries which is easily shareable among 4 people. Not a margarita place, but that's what I like so I ordered one. And it was on point. read more

We came for dinner on a Sunday night around 7:30, excited to try it for the first time. There didn't seem to be dedicated staff to greet or seat you, so after getting the bartender's attention, we were told to sit wherever. We sat at a table and after a bit the bartender came by with menus. After figuring out our drink and dinner orders, we waited about 15 minutes before going up to ask the bartender if we ordered from him or if someone would be around. He said he's be over and about 15 minutes later, he was. We started to feel like we were an inconvenience, which was later reinforced when I asked for a knife to cut the burgers in half and literally received an eye roll. The food was good, but in no way made up for the unwelcoming atmosphere. I'm glad others had a more positive experience here, but there are too many great places in Detroit for us to return to someplace we didn't love. read more

My favorite place. The jamican chowder is the best soup I've had in life. The burgers top 5 in the city, hands down. They just added an arcade so ne prepared to have fun. Low-key, laid back, and just a vibe. I probably go here 2 or 3 times a month. And never disappointed. read more

Great new spot in the former Stache International space. Cool music, good vibes, doesn't look too different from the former spot except that the horses are gone and a few pairs of Tocoroco birds are present. From what I can tell, the food is great. I got the pimento cheese burger that normally comes with chips but you can do a couple buck upgrade the fries. The burger was a dang tall monster! I might have preferred a more medium cooked patty that was thinner to match then bun size better and could have been eaten with a more lady-like bite. Regardless, it was damn tasty. For drinks, I got the Painkiller on ice but I think the preferred style of to have it blended. They actually have a blender here and are not afraid to use it! So if you've been hankering for blended tiki drinks, come on down! I also got the Grog which was potent, pretty, and tasty. Service was great. Attentive, not hovering. Definitely a welcome edition to the area and Detroit as a whole. I'll be back! read more

Place blows, food was decent but way overpriced and the drinks were pretty terrible and very expensive

Food is amazing. The bartenders are wonderful and friendly. I'm not really all that into pinball but they've got a lot of them there and I like the sounds the make. there are loss of board games which is fun and some street fighter 3rd strike cabinets. highly recommend. The atmosphere and ambiance is amazing. read more

Tocororo was very much just ok food wise. However I appreciated the number of vegan food options. The fries were a great texture but they went a little overboard with seasoning. It was very salty. While my crispy "fish" sandwich was overly bland. Additionally I am not entirely sure on what the vibe they are trying to give in regard to the decor. Part tropical, part edgy, part forest with an option to play board games. However it could be a nice ice breaker place to go for a date. People were playing D&D there and they did have books available to use to play also. We didn't have any drinks while we were there but they sounded interesting. I probably wouldn't be pressed to go back but it was a chill spot. The service was really good however and the main person waiting us had a great vibe. read more

Sat at the bar for 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging our presence. The bartender eventually told us that someone was already sitting in our bar seats, but was outside smoking. There weren't any drinks/ personal belongings near our bar seats. Upon exit for lack of service, there wasn't anyone outside. Felt like an overworked bartender who didn't want any more customers. read more

Modest Detroit neighborhood holds this incredible locale- floral decor, upscale comfortable with excellent menu.

My wife and I went here after doing our Market thing on Saturday. Vibe was cool and friendly. Rum forward drink selection; plenty of beers. Games and a complete set of D&D Monster Manuals for the nerd in you. Bob Ross and Pet TV - I like sports too but a nice change of pace. With trees. Food was excellent. Mushroom-onion dip with chips was a great take on the classic, the legs were fabulous (don't want to go back to tiny wings) but the star of the show was the Caribbean chowder. Best bite of food I have had in a long time. All delivered by the chef hot out of the kitchen. I have my sights set on the lamb burger on my next visit. Check it out. read more
