"Judging by the line out the door, everybody knows that Mama Lu’s is the place to celebrate “Taco Tuesdays,” but a lot of visitors don’t realize that the Traverse City region is also home to a handful of traditional taquerias. Run by husband and wife Adolfo Mendez (originally from Veracruz) and Sandra Rios (whose parents were migrant workers for the area’s fruit industry), this no-frills taco shop on the corner of Zimmerman and Silver Lake roads is perfect for getting a carnitas, carne asada, or menudo fix. Taqueria TC Latino has a few small tables inside, but — without a liquor license — anyone who needs a margarita with their tacos should take it to go." - Stacey Brugeman
