Michigan Taco Fest

Great selection of taco trucks and vendors! I especially like the location (Canterbury Village) as it offers air conditioning in the buildings, REAL bathrooms, and lots of shaded seating. The entry fee is low cost and has a charity component every year. The live wrestling is always a hoot too!

The weather wasn't perfect but the tacos and entertainment were. Had a great time and went to at least 7 different food trucks. Loved the bands that also provided plenty of entertainment.

$5/taco, $6/corn on cob, $25 burrito hahaha I know inflation is bad but this is a huge waste of time and money. If these were the best tacos I’ve ever had it’d be one thing but I’ve had better at Taco Bell….seriously!

Great food, beautiful people, nice friendly vides...and pet friendly can't wait until the next one!!!

Not worth going. I was able to enter smoothly around noon on Sunday, but the tacos I had were not good at all though I chose the “Best food truck in Detroit in 2017-2018”. They were cold and the sauce tasted too strong. You’ll definitely find much better ones around Detroit. I didn’t have to wait for the tacos as I went there early, but the lines for food trucks were getting longer and longer…

OVERPRICED!! $10 PER person plus $5 parking. What does all of that get you? Basically just entry into Canterbury. After that you are left to use what is left of your money on the food trucks/vendors. Most of the vendors are selling the same thing and out of the 20 plus food trucks that are there, you are probably going to order from only one truck. Entertainment is very limited. You are basically getting absolutely NOTHING for your $ except for a chance to find lunch/dinner. Mind you are not the only one getting charged, so are the Vendors and food trucks.

My wife and I walked as we live close by and we were very excited to go and hoping it was going to be great! Boy were we disappointed, I can't imagine having to pay $10 to park and wait in long lines. Unfortunately, the atmosphere, set-up was like a cheap carnival. For sure will not go again.

The festival itself is not too bad. Lots of vendors and a fun atmosphere with a few shows to see if your interested. The main issue with taco fest is the tacos from some specific vendors and why they are even allowed to vendor food. The food trucks I will call out specifically is "Miguel's famous tacos" and "CR's tacos and more". Please save your hard earned money and do not bother with these food trucks. Miguel's famous can really only be referring to being famous for the worst tacos. At $4 per taco what you get is a semi stale hard shell taco with ground beef that literally contains no seasoning whatsoever and your choice of some toppings in which the lettuce packs more flavor than the meat. It seems like it is either a really bad joke, or a scam in which they prey upon people that don't know what they are getting themselves into. There went $16 for first experience because I ordered 2 for me and 2 for my son. We both took 2 bites of the first taco and then the garbage can had the rest, and I do not like wasting food. It was that bad. Next up is the CR's taco truck. The tacos from this truck at least had a but of seasoning, but were still not good, the nachos reminded me of something you would get from a movie theater, and the quesidilla was by far the worst of the bunch because it seemed like canned chicken and highly processed cheddar cheese on a very lightly grilled wrap which ended up with Miguel's tacos in the trash. There went another $32 for 2 tacos, a Nacho supreme, and the quesidilla. So total spent now after entrance fee for me, my wife and son with parking is at $83. Please be aware that there were other food truck vendors there that are serving up authentic street tacos that are delicious, but my main gripe is getting snagged by these garbage vendors for the bulk of my food budget, and to me is worth a to warning others so that you can have a better food experience than I did.
