Amazing Mexico City inspired restaurant in the heart of Midtown Detroit! Drinks: - Hibiscus Agua Fresca - Watermelon w/ Chia Agua Fresca Food we ordered: - Guacamole with Totopos - Tuna Tostada - Coliflor - Asada Del Día - Coconut Tres Leches Standouts included the tuna tostada, with tuna chunks that melted in your mouth and a slight spicy kick. The Asada Del Día was absolutely amazing. Medium rare ribeye paired with a leek sauce, bone marrow and freshly made tortillas. For someone who isn't the biggest coconut fan, the tres leches was delicious, creamy and the perfect way to finish dinner. Staff was amazing and ambience was great. Will be back!
Is all the hype worth a visit? Yes! I am certain you will enjoy your experience at Vecino. We had a reservation before a concert in town. Two of us sat at the bar, and were immediately greeted by Tara. The restaurant was just opening and beginning to fill up. The menu is eclectic, offering a variety of dishes, several that are Oaxacan. We shared four dishes, all very different, Aguachile Negro, Ensalada Verde, Tuna Tostada, Pollo. I highly recommend trying a variety. Delicious and different in the best way possible.
Fun, new, very hip and trendy spot! It was super loud and had a ton of mood lighting as the evening went on, but it was hard for my friends and I to actually engage in conversation given the volume of chatter and music and just overall environment in the restaurant, which was noticeably a struggle! I felt a little out of place being here given just how trendy and super party-like atmosphere it all was haha! And in the months since I've come here, it remains a super popular spot to go to if you're looking for that extremely lively atmosphere! None of this takes away from the quality of their delicious food! We had incredible dishes and they clearly take a lot of pride in sourcing intentionally all their ingredients for their food, and the waitstaff did their best to intro us to everything, despite how overstimulatingly loud the environment was, so I only came away from each presentation with about half the information they wanted to convey. But all in all, the food was good across the board, and we tried a ton of different dishes. There weren't any that were overwhelming showstoppers that made me want to come back here again and again to try the rest of the menu though, so I left Vecino knowing that I wasn't going to return anytime soon. It's definitely for a specific mindset and type of celebratory occasion, which is often not the one I'm in when I'm going out to eat with friends.
Vecino transport you to an amazing restaurant that should be in the center of Mexico City, but it's tucked away and Detroit's very own midtown. Make sure you make reservations, you're gonna need them. The vibes inside are beautiful, it's dark with some great earthy decor as their ambience. They have a gorgeous bar that you can glance at, and get very excited because their drinks are divine. The weight staff is super friendly, very efficient and very attentive. We started with the Agua Chile - kind of a funner take on your standard ceviche with some gorgeous shrimp and that sauce is drinkable. Esquites were extra fun with asparagus and corn, so it gave some extra dimension to the vegetable bites and different textures as we kind of bid into it and as you can see in the picture just covered in cheese extremely good. I have to say the Tetela was one of my favorite bites, just the attention to detail on the brazing of the carrot with the lovely tortilla/masa combination, truly worth it. We also got the fish with the two different salsas and that was such a divine bite and it made it more exciting that you were essentially getting a two and one. The fish was extremely flaky, but with a stunning grilled to it. Overall amazing. The deserts were both delicious but I would go back for the Pan De Elote everytime... I mean this is how corn should be spotlighted and celebrated. It was a gorgeous meal, with flavors that make my tastebuds dance with every bite. Vecino is here to stay!
There's so much to love about Vecino but you'll pay a pretty penny for it. However, I hope this means though that their team is paid well and that they have a sustainable model as I'd love to see them thrive! Onto our meal experience: We made rezzies via RESY, which was seamless and quick. Street parking was pretty easy. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly and it was fairly empty at 4:30pm but pretty packed when we were leaving, so make a reservation! Our server was fantastic - so knowledgeable and friendly! We started with their fantastic cocktails - I loved my Tomatini (blanco, cocchi, tomatillo, thyme, bay leaft, tomolive, chilo oil). It was like a spicy tomatillo marg! Delish. For food, we had: *Totopos & Salsas - this in itself cost $14 which is kind of wild BUT Vecino has their own masa program which was great to try some interesting heirloom varieties. Also, there was definitely no pico de gallo up in here. The salsa trio was salsa macha, salsa cascabel and salsa cruda. All were stunning! We took them home with us! *CHICHARRONES DE PULPO: perfectly cooked so the octopus was tender and had a wonderful texture. It was kind of breaded-ish and there was a puree and potatoes. Just a wonderful dish in general! *TUNA TOSTADA (tuna, chipotle aioli, leeks, avocado) - flavors were GREAT on this. The tuna was fresh - no hint of fishiness at all. It's a pretty small portion so I could probably eat it myself BUT we just cut it in half and split it between the 2 of us. *DUCK ENCHILADAS - let me preface that I'm not usually an enchiladas gal. BUT when they make the corn tortillas in house, it's so dang good. This was flavorful but again pretty small portion (just 2 enchiladas). Beautiful plating though. *BUÑUELO (Oaxacan corn chocolate, mint basil ice cream) - our server recommended this one and she didn't lead us astray! Loved the texture of this with the crispy bunelo and the mint basil was soo refreshing with the corn white chocolate sitch! Yum. Also, love when a restaurant has good hand soap and they use le labo!
We had such an amazing night at Vecino! We had a special guest visiting from out of town and we wanted to show off the city! It was the most perfect evening so we decided to sit out on the patio for dinner. The menu is organized into tapas style courses. We started with the guacamole and salsa trio, then followed with a variety of unique dishes. My favorites were the Carnitas and Asada. We love the fresh pop of flavors in every bite! We ended up ordering quite a few rounds of cocktails and tequilas. I loved the hibiscus margarita! The overall vibe is dark & moody with candles illuminating the entire space! We loved our experience and will most certainly be back. I didn't get many pics because it was so dark on the patio.
Heard about this restaurant and I was excited to try it. Very intimate and cozy dining setting. Good for date night or small group. I would describe it as an upscale Mexican restaurant. They offer different items on the menu than your usual Mexican restaurant. I appreciated our server explaining the menu to us and having the patience to go through it all because it was our first time there. She was even helpful enough to provide an extra menu of items that were safer for us to eat since a few of us at the table had food, allergies. Overall 10 out of a 10 experience beautiful interior. I will definitely go back and explore the menu. The prices are a little more pricey than your average Mexican restaurant but definitely worth the experience.
Went here with a group of friends and there was a small incident but they made up for it. They service was really good and so were the food and drinks. The price was on the pricer side for the portion but it was well made so I am not going to complain. Honestly, the chips and dips were our fave. The chips were homemade and had so much crunch. There is plenty of street parking but it did take me some time to find one. The location is closer to Wayne state university and not it downtown.
Thank you Michael for a tour of your menu!! LOVED the food and dining experience. Our favs were the whole fish and beet/fruit salad! Yah gotta have the chips and salsa. Finished the meal with tres leche cake!! The bomb! Best tres leche cake I have ever had!! The chefs are creative geniuses! Definitely make reservations! Great ambience
Really nice spot, but I just can't justify the prices... I think everything we ordered tasted good... the crudo, the tostada, pollo, pescado etc. there weren't any bad dishes... but I wasn't blown away nor full. The Tres Leches cake was in a raspberry milk, that was different and enjoyable. In all I can only recommend coming if you have money to blow, you could also pull up to the bar for drinks and the nice vibe, 4 drinks will get you to a nice little bill by themselves.
To preface... as someone who grew up in Mexico, vecino hits like food from home every time. I have been six times now and not once have I been disappointed. I have been trying Mexican restaurants all over the U.S. and no where compares to vecino and to think I found my favorite in Detroit amazes me. It truly is worth every penny. For what to order: All their appetizers are great. We usually switch it up and are satisfied with each one that we've ordered. The Totopos with salsa are a must and their guac is great as well. For mains- the asada del día is our go to. It is always cooked to perfection and comes with fresh tortillas. And it is hard for me to come by a tortilla in the U.S. that I enjoy. But here, they are excellent. They import their corn from Mexico and you can tell. This is served with bone marrow and some garlic onion spread that goes great on the taco. For dessert- their tres leches is amazing. The coconut cream pairs so well with the cake. I could eat like 10 of them. As if it's not obvious at this point vecino is my favorite restaurant in Detroit and one of my tops in the world. I will not be surprised if they are the first ones in Detroit to secure the Michelin star
Highly recommend making a reservation. Very dim lighting and I found the atmosphere rather loud. Make sure you have a light for your table. The menu was a tad bit hard to see without the lamp. The chips & tortillas are made in house. The guacamole was perfect; topped with greens.. never had that before but I enjoyed it. The fish comes in 2 different sizes. We ordered the largest to share. It was perfectly cooked and had an amazing flavor. I love how they put 2 different sauces on each side.
I wanted so badly to really love this place but I was just...underwhelmed. Maybe my expectations were too high based on feedback I had received from other people that had been there but I was wasn't impressed, especially since it's on the costlier side. Nothing was bad. It just wasn't very memorable and I don't think the cost justifies the experience. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy, definitely giving date night vibes and the bathroom were cute as well. Parking was also a hassle since there isn't a dedicated lot or place to park. It's a really busy area and you have to fend for yourself with street parking. I definitely had to drive around for several rounds before I found someone coming out and could snag a spot a couple of blocks away. Everything combined, it's not somewhere I'd be rushing back to but that was just my experience.

Outstanding, authentic Mexican food. We came here for dinner on a beautiful Saturday evening and had the best experience from start to finish. First of all, they sat us at a round table which was perfect for 6 people. We were all able to converse easily and naturally, as opposed to being at the usual rectangle table. Our server was kind, extremely knowledgeable of the menu, and super attentive throughout. They coursed out our meal perfectly as well. We started with two dips, the guacamole and sikil pak. The latter was basically a pumpkin seed hummus. Both were outstanding and came with crudite and chips. Next, we had a few dishes from the masa section of the menu. I tried the duck enchiladas and tetela. Both fantastic. For our last course, my husband and I shared the lamb shank. It was so tender and fell off the bone. My parents shared the snapper and my in-laws shared the carnitas. The protein dishes were all large and we enjoyed them with fresh tortillas. Sadly, we did not have room for dessert. The drink menu was fantastic, and had both classic and interesting options that perfectly complemented the food menu. I had the mango con chile and meloncito cocktails - yum! Reservations are a must. I booked our table 4 weeks out. Throughout our 6pm Saturday evening dinner, every single table and bar seat was filled. The overall atmosphere was lively and modern. Will definitely be back in the future! read more

This was my favorite new restaurant of 2025 in Detroit (I think also Restaurant of the Year, if I'm not mistaken). It's got an amazing interior and ambiance, incredible service, and the food is inspired and innovative. It's halal friendly, which is an added bonus. It's definitely meant for sharing, so I would recommend coming with a small group of friends to order a bunch of menu items. We ordered across the menu and shared everything as a group of 4 people. We ordered about six dishes total, with 4 of the smaller plates, one larger protein main, and a dessert. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back! read more

The place is a vibe from the moment you walk through those heavy curtains. Our server Maricela was excellent and recommended the herbal spicy marg cocktail. My favorite dishes were the chicharron de pulpo and the divine tres leches with toasted coconut. Looking forward to coming back. read more

The overall vibe is good. If yelp allowed half stars I would give 3.5 because I feel the price is a bit high for the quality and level of service. Out of the dishes I tried, the pork belly and the tuna tostada were my favorite. The Papas con Rajas wasn't what I expected. I thought there would be more of a crispness to the potatoes. I really enjoyed the Strawberry Tres Leches; my partner said it was just okay. read more
We've been twice now (after our first time, we booked to come back two weeks later so we could try more dishes) and Vecino is sooo good! Drinks are super interesting (I really love the "spicy margarita" which is called Picosa Verde), the El Clásico was pretty good but tasted too lime-y. You can order food at the bar also so it's an option if it's all booked up! The first time we went, we had the Sikil Pak which was only okay, it was a complex flavored dip maybe too salty (& they don't give you enough crudite) but they are happy to pack any leftovers, Tuna Tostada= delicious and the Fish=a favorite! So delicious! It's market price so yes, it can be $$$$ but you can't find anything in Michigan like it! I love Vecino! Service is excellent and the ambiance is great! I love this for Detroit! read more

Visited this restaurant over the weekend with some friends and it was such a wonderful dinning experience. The restaurant is beautiful inside with cool vibes and great lighting and comfortable seating throughout. It was a last minute decision to do dinner here the restaurant was very accommodating getting us in for a last min reservation. The menu was definitely not what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant and was intimidating on what to order. We were very lucky to have a server who had excellent insight on the menu items and guided us in the right direction. The food was excellent but I would say for the price the portion size of some of the items was disappointing. I would go again but with the knowledge of exactly what to order. The fish and seafood dishes were the stars of the show. The muscles, the tuna tart and the snapper are well worth the visit. If seafood isnuyour jam and you are expecting traditional Mexican food this place might not be for you. read more

Vecino was a great spot for a private event. The drinks were on point and I ordered a mocktail margarita that was excellent. They really took their time crafting each drink. The Mexican food was delicious and the chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful. There is a nice courtyard area in the back that is perfect for dining and fellowshipping. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu and enjoy the full dining experience. read more

Vecino is easily a must-visit in Detroit! Their modern take on Mexico City-inspired cuisine is incredible, especially with their focus on in-house nixtamalized heirloom corn. Beyond the food, the service is some of the best I've experienced very attentive and personalized. If you're looking for an elevated yet relaxed vibe in Midtown, this is it. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant with a great vibe. I especially appreciate the curtained vestibule to keep the cold out. A very cozy touch. The service was absolutely phenomenal - they take your coat when you arrive and hang it up for you, the seating is very comfy, the lighting and candles are really pretty, and our server was excellent. She described menu items knowledgeably and confidently recommended great cocktails and dishes. They've got the details right here, down to the exceptional water glasses. To drink, I ordered one of their non alcoholic options, and I'm so glad they have many selections to choose from. Our server was great at explaining the flavors of several to us, and I went with the phony negroni which is a sweet, red, pretty cocktail that is prepackaged. My friend ordered one of their regular cocktails, just without alcohol, and she loved it. It was made with lots of fresh citrus juice, a house made Squirt, and a spicy gummy candy stick. A very fun cocktail I will get next time. As for food, we shared the octopus dish, 2 of us ordered the duck enchiladas, and one of us ordered the talyuda with chorizo. Our favorites were definitely the enchiladas, the chorizo on the talyuda was amazing, and the octopus was cooked very well - it was tender - and we really liked the pineapple, but it needed a little salt and the spice rub was a little on the bitter side. A beautiful dish, but I think I'd try the venduras en mole next time. Overall, a good meal; the masa is the star of the show here, especially in the enchiladas. The corn has the most amazing flavor that really shines just as much as all the other delicious ingredients with it. The tomatillo sauce was absolutely delicious - smooth, almost creamy; so tangy and well-seasoned. I'd definitely return just for those enchiladas. The chorizo was also memorable - it had such a great texture and flavor. Overall, the menu is a bit sparse, but everything on it sounds interesting. The prices are also fairly high, even for downtown, but the flavors are elevated, the plating is beautiful, and the service is top-notch. Even if you just went for their chips and salsas and cocktails, it would be a nice time. A perfect date night or girls night spot. read more
Everything went well!!! My son and I had our mother n son time together here tonight!! This place is AMAZING!! The food is beyond amazing and homemade! The drinks are good and the ambience is great!! It was crowded but you really don't notice it, u can still enjoy ur conversation and company! The waiter gave GREAT recommendations for both food and drink! We had Molote, Enchiladas w/duck n salsa verde for starters then main course we had the Pescado - whole fish w/one side salsa roja n the other side salsa verde! We also had the best homemade chips w/ 3 salsa's (macha, roja, verde)! We don't get a chance for dessert, way too full!! But I will definitely be back! We really enjoyed the whole vibe!! read more

I wanted to find a cool spot to take my older sis to celebrate her birthday. This place was an amazing choice. It was just so so good. The staff was so attentive it was like people just kept popping up to offer water or a recommendation. It's not a casual place but not stiff. Everything that has been said about the food being amazing is true!!! SIKIL PAK was so good, I wish it came with more zucchini. I've never said that in my life about zucchini. The Tuna Tostada was my favorite item and I'm not above saying I wish I didn't split it with my sister. We ordered the larger serving of fish to share ($93) and it was perfectly prepared. The ambience was perfect but for the life of me- I don't understand a bathroom too sexy for lights that won't allow you to check if you have food in your teeth. I've told everyone to check it out because it was phenomenal. read more

How's the parking situation?
There is lots of street parking on Third and also on Alexandrine. It's kind of nice to walk a block, in that area.
