"Named after the highlands region of Jalisco, Los Altos offers a variety of shareable appetizers like queso flameado, guacamole, asada fries, as well tacos, tortas, gorditas, entrees like chile rellenos, and soothing caldos like birria and caldo de res. A full bar features cantaritos, micheladas, interesting takes on margaritas, and Mexican beers. Reservations can be made online." - Serena Maria Daniels
"At Los Altos the bar area has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland southwest Detroit style — sparkly lights, garlands, nutcrackers — which complements the interior’s colorful papel picado and murals by “SW” Freddy Diaz; general manager Eddie Vargas has created a cheerful cocktail menu with drinks like the Christmas Tree Paloma with hibiscus syrup, the White Christmas (RumChata, ginger brandy, pineapple-coconut nectar, and cranberries), and the Ms. Claus (Abuelita chocolate, vanilla vodka, Bailey’s, cream, sprinkles, and marshmallows), and you can round out the experience with a warm bowl of caldo or birria." - Serena Maria Daniels
"The taco offerings at Los Altos are plentiful, ranging from al pastor, tripas, asada, and chorizo to egg, fish, shrimp, and chicharron. They’re available with corn, flour, or for a nominal charge, they can be prepared with handmade tortillas. Make it a meal and get three tacos with choice of meat, rice, beans, and lettuce and tomato on the side. The spot’s extensive bar menu features margaritas and margarita-adjacent cocktails, micheladas, and Mexican beers." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Managed by Nancy Diaz-Lopez and Ramon Luis 'Wicho' Diaz, Taqueria Los Altos offers a variety of traditional Mexican dishes and hosts special events such as Taco Tuesday specials and tequila tastings." - Serena Maria Daniels
"The folks behind Los Altos (and sister restaurants La Palapa Del Parian at 1633 Lawndale St. and Los Arcos at 4327 Allen Road in Allen Park) will all air the big game and offer drink specials, including $18 buckets of beer, shot specials, and margaritas for $6. Dig in on shareable appetizers like queso flameado, guacamole, asada fries, a big plate of tacos, as well as a variety of spicy or citrusy cocktails and micheladas." - Serena Maria Daniels
