The 38 Best Restaurants in Detroit, Spring 2025 | Eater Detroit
"Residents of Berkley can rejoice because they’ve got access to award-winning tacos and other Mexican specialties in an unexpected space. Chef Amado Lopez was named a semifinalist in the Emerging Chef category for the 2023 James Beard Awards for his work during the pandemic to transform the community’s Atomic Dawg hot dog restaurant from a fledgling diner to a pop-up operation and eventually a full-time taqueria. The specialty here is braised meats, such as the pork braised in red chiles, as well as vegetarian and vegan options, like the mushroom taco or vegan beans and rice. Guests still thinking about those Atomic Dogs can reminisce while enjoying Amado’s Sonoran hot dogs topped with bacon, green chiles, and garnishes of pickled onion, jalapeño, and roasted chile sauce. Online ordering is available. Best for: Tacos featuring a range of regional influences in a family-friendly atmosphere." - Serena Maria Daniels
