El Angel Carniceria & Taqueria

I've seen this spot so many times, and I'm so glad I decided to go here today. Great food. Kind staff. And they have an amazing little market also located inside! A hidden spot I will be going back to🫶🏽🇲🇽

Best tacos I have had in a while. This is real Mexican food and every bite is so delicious. On Wednesday’s it’s 10 tacos for $10. I try to come every two days out of the week. Friendly people. Family owned.

Went once on a Wednesday good was good! They have a small area for eating there. The people are nice but don't speak English to good. They have a meat counter to buy fresh meats they sell tortillas to make tacos at home. Oh the place was super clean it's worth trying they also do taco Tuesday I hear they do it on Wednesday but my bill didn't reflect the fact it's done on Wednesday too so I'm not sure. They have easy parking. Not good for a crowd of people.

Price update: 10 Tacos for $15 on Wednesdays. Was reading the reviews and saw that it hasn't been posted. First timer and really enjoyed the food.

This is such a good place to get your groceries and order some delicious food at a very reasonable price. The owners and cook are super nice if you haven't tried it ,it's must.

One of the best taco places I’ve been to in Michigan. The food is always served fresh, delicious, and authentic. Plus the prices are very fair. This is one of my favorite places to go to and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend this place!

Simply amazing! Fresh, not flashy. Great value and the BEST guacamole ever!!

This place deserves more attention! Seriously awesome food.

Stopped by El Angel to pick up a quick meal. Seems to be mainly a taqueria with a small market in the back. Order and pay at the counter and wait for your food. Asada Burrito ($8.99) - Filled with a good amount of cheese, rice, beans, onion, and cilantro. The carne asada is meaty, not sure if any marinade is used because it's quite beefy and salty. There's some corn and peas, maybe part of the rice? The beef is way too salty and burns your tongue as you eat. The meat quality didn't seem to be the highest. The balance of ingredients is good - they don't skimp on the meat. The burrito is cut in half and comes with some chips and salsa on the side. Weight: 19oz. I think it's an okay burrito in general. I do appreciate that they use rice and beans instead of lettuce/tomato like a lot of other places around here. Maybe their other meats are better?

We tried this place out for lunch, take out. The lunch special hit the spot! The chicken taco was super flavorful and tender. The carnitas is the best one in the area! It was tender and not greasy at all! The steak taco was another good one! We will be sure to come back. It's completely incognito. I've passed this place 300x and never knew there was a restaurant here!

I ended up here because of Yelp, after reading their new and hot places email... it's bit out of my way, but glad I made the visit. I'll say this was the cheapest meal I've had!! I went and ordered the following: - 1 Pastor Taco - 1 Asada Taco - 1 order of Rice and Beans - 1 pico de gallo - 1 diet coke Then I ended up ordering extra pastor and asada taco. The Best: - Asada Taco, Pastor Taco and Pico de gallo!! Taco's are simple, meat topped with chopped onions and cilantro with a wedge of lemon. The beef was perfectly cooked, juicy, yet bit salty, but salty is what brought the flavors together for the taco. Pork was excellent as well and the pico de gallo was fresh and it seemed like it was made to order. The gallo goes well with the chips they provide, I preferred the gallo over their other salsa's that were provided. The rice and beans were okay. As I said, this was the cheapest meal I had, 4 tacos, rice & beans and a drink for $10 before taxes. The service was excellent, plenty of parking in the back or on the street (free 1 hour parking). If you are in the area, I would highly recommend you stop by!!

Ill be back for a longer post after I eat. But we walked in, it smelled good, there are tables as well as counter space. Self serve beverages. It was pretty packed for food area. There is table service. We were just brought a bowl of chips.

I'd call it 3.5 stars, but rounding it up to 4 is OK, too. 3.5 is more accurate. After the stratospheric heights of Galindo's last week, a fellow Yelper messaged me telling me that the best al pastor was at El Angel in Lincoln Park. Long story short, he's dead wrong. The al pastor here is *fine*, but on its very best day, it *might* break into the Top 5 al pastor tacos in the area, by taking the #5 position. It's not *touching* Galindo's. Taqueria Alameda in Westland has *nothing* to worry about. Carnival Market rests easy. Others, too, can rest on their laurels. While this is better-than-decent, it ain't throwing anybody else out of the ring. Their asada, to be honest, was a trifle bit better than Galindo's, but that's not to say that I want it again...it was still pretty "meh". It's too bad that steak has to be reduced to giving up its beefy flavor. Still, I appreciated that they had spiced it appropriately, and it got eaten. Their pico de gallo passes muster, with probably a grade of C+/B-, but again: Galindo's blew it out of the water, here. It's quite inexpensive, so that's definitely a plus, but I'd rather pay more for better pico de gallo. The facility needs some help. It's...meager. Oh, and the restroom is out of order. And the beverages are pretty expensive for Jarritos. Look: it really isn't bad! It's fine! But would I come here again when Galindo's is just down the road? Or Campestre? No, unless maybe it's 10 Tacos for $10 day or something like that. They're worth that...but they're not worth the same amount of money as Galindo's fantastic stuff.

Lovely place great people even better food 100/10 best tacos downriver hands down would eat here every day if I could

Great family run business. I ordered a chicken Milanesa torta and fries. It was outstanding and came with fresh, hand-cut fries, two great salsas, and a pickled jalapeño pepper.

I find myself returning to an old favorite hobby of mine, trying all the new taquerias that appear, and I'm glad to have found this one. There isn't much to say because there isn't any need to. It's a basic no frills taqueria, counter space, some tables, grill and some store items in the rear. I asked for carnitas, but only on the weekends, so we got two al pastor burritos. I could smell the pork cooking on the grill and just kinda new these would be tasty and I wasn't wrong. They weren't over poweringly spicy and not too hot, but super flavorful and the guy nailed the pork - great texture, great mix with onions and cilantro on mine. I even enjoyed the tortilla chips they included, buttery and crisp. If I had one complaint maybe, it's not a super big burrito but neither was it too pricey. I will definitely be back, gotta try the carnitas!

Solid food, at a great price. This food is top notch, no frills, just really good food. This place has become my favorite taco place downriver, especially for their $1 Taco Tuesdays. Can't recommend this place enough. The people here are super friendly and take pride in what they do.

Love the burritos, tacos and quesadillas. Haven't tried the rest of the food but we love what we have tried and order from here a few times a month. Delicious! Worth trying out for those who haven't :)

they played me cause I didn't leave a tip. I asked for a quesadilla which was 4 dollars. They instead gave me 1 taco.

I had a very pleasant experience. The food was really great, fresh! The chef threw down. I ordered a pastor burrito, chorizo taco and chicken taco. In hindsight I could've been set with just the burrito, I'm stuffed. Everything I ordered had perfect flavor and wasn't greasy, I'm telling you the chef really threw down and did his thing! I'll definitely be back whenever I'm out that way.

Pastor tacos way to go! Didn't think I would find such a hidden gem here in Michigan, but wow.The added fried pineapple to the tacos had me

I was under the impression that on Tuesday and Wednesday that it's 1.00 Taco days. I got charged $6.30 for 3 Tacos and a 10 Ounce bottle of Apple juice. That's definitely not 1.00 Tacos. So I'm guessing you only get the one dollar deal IF you buy ten Tacos. Well I'm only one person and I could barely get the third Taco down. Very nice people however though they don't speak good English or understand English to well I ordered rice with my Tacos but he the cook he had no clue what I was talking about so I never got the Rice it was cool though because I realized I could hardly finish my Tacos but some how I feel like I was charged for the rice anyways. I probably won't go back to soon I'm still perplexed about being over charged and trying to get over my emotions about that but with them not speaking English for me to explain I feel I was over charged and becsude they don't speak good English is why I just paid and left. I guess the overage amount wasn't that big of a deal to argue over but it's the principal of it. It's about 5 or 6 tables there, they have a self serve pop refrigerator you pick your own. The place is clean and they sell fresh meats and really fresh looking flour tortillas that's located in the refrigerator with the drinks. Im going to take some tea out and explore the W. Vernor area of South West you can't go wrong in that area.

My wife and I have been here numerous times and they are always friendly and great! We will be back soon!

Amazing love this place food is great. Just recently came back from California and this is the best place I've been to so far
