Authentic birria tacos, empanadas, and Cuban sandwiches
"Situated within the Happy 4 Liquor store on Fort, this takeout-friendly spot is a play on owner Julie Stevens’ Guanajuato lineage and upbringing in Southwest Detroit. Stevens got her start with a pop-up and catering venture, but her food’s popularity necessitated a permanent site. Beef birria tacos are served with consomé for dipping. Other styles of tacos include ground beef, chicken, pineapple pork with chorizo and bacon, or veggies — all available in corn or flour tortillas. As bonus, Stevens’s other specialty is empanadas. Delivery is available through Doordash." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Owned and cooked by Julie Stevens, this pop-up-turned-restaurant concept grew famous for its birria de res tacos—tender stewed beef served in tortillas dipped into a cup of consommé—and for rotating menu additions inspired by the chef’s family and time in Miami. While plans to open a John R. Road location were canceled after lease, buildout, menu and naming disagreements with the landlord, the operation continued as a popular pop-up at the owner’s husband’s family bar and experimented with vegetarian options (potato and soy chorizo tacos) as well as Puerto Rican and Cuban items like empanadas (including pizza-topped versions) and Cuban sandwiches made with the chef’s own mustard recipe. The operator emphasizes family-taught recipes and a “cook with love” philosophy, will keep popping up at the North Corktown bar during the indoor dining shutdown, and is scheduled to open a more permanent spot on Fort Street inside a party store across from Detroit’s main post office on Tuesday, January 5." - Brenna Houck
"Two Southwest Detroit locals, Julie and Jason Stevens, are turning their catering business into a permanent Guanajuato-style taqueria in the North End, previewing the menu through neighborhood pop-ups and bar appearances. The menu blends traditional Guanajuato dishes with Detroit-influenced options, featuring frijoles charros, Mexican sandwiches, beef and chicken tacos, and vegan choices like spinach enchiladas. Partnered with building owner Steven Harris, the venture will emphasize takeout service while offering a mix of indoor seating and outdoor seating in an adjacent steel shipping container, with an opening expected within the next three months." - Brenna Houck
