Detroit’s Best Restaurants for a Romantic Night Out | Eater Detroit

"For when you want to love Mexicanly, the Eater Award-winning Vecino aims to showcase a fuller expression of Mexican cuisine beyond street food with a focus on painstaking technique and creativity. A trio of chefs, Edgar Torres, Maria Rivera Negron, and Rosa Montalvo, lead a kitchen team to work over an open hearth, harnessing the open flame for the menu. Expect crisp tostadas topped with buttery tuna accented with chipotle aioli and tempered with avocado; a masa section featuring quesadillas made with blue and white corn and filled with Oaxacan quesillo, epazote, and maitake mushrooms. Entrees del fuego include a whole fish in salsa roja and salsa verde. The bar boasts an impressive agave spirit and Mexican wine selection. The salsas, particularly the salsa macha, are worth ordering. Be on the lookout for specials, including a Wagyu steak set that provides the ideal showcase for the flour and corn tortillas. Reservations are available on Resy." - Serena Maria Daniels
