Detroit’s 2022 Eater Awards Winners: Best Restaurants, Chefs, and Bars | Eater Detroit

"What began as a taco truck parked on the car-wash lot at the intersection of Vernor, Dix, and Waterman quickly made a name for itself with tacos al pastor, and I saw that success translate into multiple trucks around Southwest Detroit and, eventually, the couple’s move to open a full-scale restaurant after pandemic setbacks and a 2021 fire." - Serena Maria Daniels

This place is by far my favorite taco truck not because it's authentic but because of the quality, the customer service and amount of food given. Best taco truck from here all the way to the west coast hands down. Never had a better taco than this place.

Amazing tacos! The most authentic tacos I have had in the DMV! Incredible flavor across their entire menu. The al pastor and chicken tacos are to die for. The owner was so kind! It was our first time visiting and he went out of his way to make us feel welcome! This is a must visit if you're in the area...even if you aren't, you should drive for these tacos. 10/10 will eat here again!

The tacos here are delicious and every order is cooked fresh. Employees in the truck are awesome and even offered me a free taco for it being my first time Just a heads up the parking situation there can get clogged up since most people park their cars in the middle of the side road and place their order

Authentic tacos are love! 🌮😁 It was a lovely day outside for supper. A taco truck ambiance/environment. Parking is hard to find, but worth the walk- I promise! Quick & friendly service, & of course all of their authentic tacos are delicious beyond belief! 🤤 Oh, & FYI- CASH only.

For those of you that are nearly focused and several of the fast food restaurants for a good taco, I beg you to turn your sites over to some of the more unique flavor offerings this area provides. Pa' Tacos El Papi is a small food truck sitting in the Bailey's crossings area that is well worth your time to stop and try. I mean come on. Yeah you've got to go and stand outside and place your order, but you will be rewarded with the flavor feast. Regrettably or on the positive side it is a minimal menu. They serve tacos. Oh, and bebidas, drinks. Beef, pork, chicken, tongue, and chorizo are more than enough to satisfy your taste buds. I ordered three chorizo tacos, and received three tacos with as much meat as six of that Bell type. Flavorful, tangy, filling, with some cilantro and onion, the corn shells were doubled up to provide support for the taste treats inside. I received a small bag with cucumber and radishes and a piece of lime. Definitely this will become a routine stop for me. Buenos comida.

Easily, the absolute best tacos I’ve EVER had…my only issue was not being able to chew and swallow fast enough so I could go back in for another bite! Ha. I ordered 8 of the al pastor (I shared half, sad face). They were all SOOOOOO flavorful and piping hot. I really didn’t need salsa or lime but I added it to a few since the guy was so kind to put some in the to-go bag. The service was also excellent. So kind and hospitable. This is my new fav! *Also, it clearly states CASH ONLY on the truck and I was so excited that I missed it, but there are ATMs near*

Extremely delicious tacos made by some honest guys working the truck. So friendly and modest, and the food is spectacular. Two salsas in unlabeled bottles so you know it’s legit. Some menu items are written in marker on the side of the truck. Love it. I wish I lived closer so I could come by more often!
