The Best New Restaurants in Detroit, March 2025

"One of Detroit’s most beloved taquerias, this spot has reemerged in a new location three years after its original property burned in a fire. Now situated within the space formerly occupied by El Zocalo, Taqueria El Rey continues to offer its popular grilled chicken, along with ribs, tacos, and other Mexican delicacies. In addition, Tres Leches ‘n’ Snacks food truck — also owned by the family that operates the taqueria — has found a permanent home within this location. Expect sweet snacks like tres leches cake, paletas, and fruit cocktails, alongside savory munchies such as walking tacos and tamales." - Serena Maria Daniels
