Detroit’s Best Taco Restaurants | Eater Detroit

"Southwest Detroit is arguably the taco truck capital of the city, and one family headed by Nancy Diaz-Lopez and her husband Ramon Luis “Wicho” Diaz have been at the vanguard of that trend. Their fleet of mobile food trucks is set up throughout the neighborhood — with offerings ranging from mariscos, citrusy ceviche served on top of crispy tostadas, and chilled oysters from El Imperio, at 7812-7816 Vernor Highway to Mexican-style burgers, tacos al pastor, quesadillas, and other classics available at its other trucks. For more of a sit-down dining experience, the duo opened a flagship physical location, the Eater Award-winning La Palapa del Parian, featuring much of the duo’s taqueria offerings, along with traditional specialties like pork short ribs in salsa verde and freshly made carnitas. Grab a seat on the enclosed patio and then watch your friendly taquero do their thing behind the nearby plancha, where they’re busy assembling tacos al pastor fresh off the trompo." - Serena Maria Daniels
