For over a decade a Taco Trailer with no wheels sits outside a large Air Condition Dining Room on Central just South of Michigan Ave. Every dish comes with Sauteed Onions and Jalapeno w Salsa too. This place hopping all day long and at dinner time after 5pm the dining room and parking lot filled. The very best all Meat Burrito 😋 any place in Metro Detroit, just look at the photos. I had the Campachano Burrito mixed Steak n Chorizo WOWED, no rice or beans. Just packed with Meat Onion Cilantro n Creama a mega Deal. She had the grande Chicken n Cheese Quesadilla a real winner on the super cheap. Hey this $17 bucks for both makes this a must try 😄. Most places getting $12 for a Burrito with little Meat stuffed with Rice n Beans, I want to taste the Meat. Two different Green Salsa Verde marvelous creamy the very best. We been customers since opening, truly a Classic Detroit hidden Gem. Gringo's can't find this place, they missing out on Authentic Mexican food. #tacoselprimo #campachano #allmeatburrito #burrito #lowprices #chickenquesadilla #salsaverde #downriverfriendseat

First time visitors. I order one chicken taco, one chorizo burrito. The food was impressive to my eye as i watched him make others. I smashed half the burrito in car. But something was lost in transporting my food home. My taco was not done. My burrito was the same. Photos to follow. Very disappointed. $11.50 in the file 13. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

We found this place on the humble and i have been going back ever since. I drive from Ypsi to eat here and they haven’t failed me yet. Tacos de Lengua con todo 🤌🏾 it’s amazing & prices are amazing. Anytime someone brings up the best tacos around I throw your hat in the ring. Please don’t change.

Excellent tacos & quesadillas. Taco truck is outside of the indoor dining area. Service is fast & friendly. The cabeza is tender & flavorful. The tacos are generously portioned as were the quesadillas. Quick, tasty lunch spot.

There's two other taco trucks within 3 MILES and I choose this one the food is piping hot and you get a lot compared to the other ones... inside the building after 5:00 you can get elote and Jules it's like a donut with some filling quite amazing

Truly the BEST birria quesadillas I've ever had... I've tried a lot and this one is the best hands down.. it's even better than most without the birria sauce/juice

OMG, what delicious tacos we ate here! They tasted fresh, and the service was really fast. We ate tacos of lengua, asada, cabeza, and pastor, all delicious! I didn't take photos of the tacos, the presentation didn't look incredible, but again their taste was "magnifique". Finally, we try churros with cajeta, and it was amazing too! You need to go there!

I can not recommend this place highly enough! The birria is outstanding, the cabeza quesadillas are out of this world!
