Detroit’s Best Taco Restaurants | Eater Detroit

"Vegan Mexican meets mocktails, juices, and coffee at Nepantla, a food truck situated next to the long-vacant Charlie Clark’s Bar on West Vernor Highway. Founder Rocky Coronado was named a 2024 semifinalist for a James Beard Award in the Emerging Chef category. As Coronado builds out the bar to be Nepantla’s permanent home, they operate out of their red food trailer, where customers can order vegan dishes like tacos with fried avocado and Baja-style fish tacos made with battered banana blossoms, and a variety of beverages like Vietnamese coffee, matcha lattes, and aguas frescas. Be sure to check Nepantla’s social media for updates on hours." - Serena Maria Daniels
