22 Top-Notch Spots for Tacos in Metro Detroit

"Southwest Detroit’s wildly popular Taqueria El Rey has reemerged from a 2022 fire into a mobile food offering, operating from a red barn-shaped food trailer situated on Vernor just off the West Fisher Service Drive from noon to 9 p.m. Friday to Sunday. On Mondays and Tuesdays, find them posted up at Batch Brewing Company at 1400 Porter St. in Corktown. El Rey fills tacos with a generous helping of meat, cilantro, and onion with sliced limes and radishes. The restaurant offers more than 10 options for filling the tacos (the buche and pastor are particularly tasty). Newcomers with a big appetite should also be sure to order a whole grilled chicken, which comes with a side of tortillas for a build-your-own taco experience. The house salsas help to amp up the flavors." - Serena Maria Daniels
