Detroit Biggest Restaurant and Bar Openings to Know, August 2025 | Eater Detroit

"Much-anticipated taqueria from chef Eddie Vargas spotlights his father’s birria recipe in quesabirria, birria ramen, and birria egg rolls, alongside pork rind nachos, ceviche salpicon, and Dubai churros; the 40-seat dining room channels Tulum with woven rattan lighting, and Vargas’s pedigree includes Detroit hits like El Barzon, La Noria, and Peso, as well as time with the El Parian hospitality group." - Jeffy Mai

Detroit Mexican Food Fixture Eddie Vargas Is Bringing Regionally Inspired Tacos to West Vernor | Eater Detroit

"Opening in Hubbard Farms in March 2025, this new taqueria from local chef Eddie Vargas and his father Jose will occupy 3970 West Vernor Highway after a months-long renovation that will give the space a subtle Tulum-inspired look with woven rattan lighting, neutral tones, and seating for about 40. Vargas — who is parting ways with the El Parian hospitality group — aims for a casual, friendly vibe reflected in the restaurant’s name and concept, featuring a rotating “taco-verse” that draws from regional Mexican cuisines: Sinaloa-style tacos gobernador (a griddled shrimp-and-cheese taco-quesadilla hybrid), Ensenada-style fried fish tacos, tacos de chile relleno, and seasonal ingredients like flor de calabaza and the delicacy huitlacoche. Expect snackable plates such as guacamole topped with crispy chicharrones, wings with salsa macha, elote, and egg-rolls filled with birria de res (and sometimes goat or lamb) made from his family recipe — an effort to bring more diverse, regionally focused Mexican offerings closer to downtown." - Serena Maria Daniels

Barely moved to Michigan 3 months ago and I’ve gone to a few places to eat and try the food around here, but this place over excelled their service. The food was phenomenal and their service top class. The whole experience was amazing. I would totally recommend this place and im definitely coming back again. The servers are friendly and you get this feel like you’re at home. I’ll leave picture of some of the things we ordered. Pozole, chilaquiles de birria, concha French toast style, Dubai churros. Delicious is all I gotta say. Oh and the Jamaica guava water was amazing!

From the moment you walk into Taco Wuey, you can tell this isn’t your average taqueria. The space has a modern, beautiful decor colorful yet classy, with a warm glow and attention to detail that perfectly blends traditional Mexican roots with a contemporary Detroit edge. It feels like a place designed with pride, ideal for a date night, family outing, or just to unwind over good food and creative drinks. The agua frescas are incredible fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced in sweetness.I ordered the Camarones Yucatecos, and it completely exceeded expectations. The shrimp were perfectly seared, tender, and packed with flavor from the guajillo achiote sauce, resting beautifully on banana leaf with onions, rice, and plantains. Every component complemented the next smoky, sweet, and savory all in one dish. You can tell Chef Eddie Vargas really understands how to balance flavors while keeping things authentic and soulful. The salsas and sauces here deserve their own spotlight each one adds a unique punch. The fact that they offer multiple types of flavorful sauces on the side makes it easy to customize every bite to your taste. The Dubai Churro was a masterpiece. A creative, modern twist that’s as fun to look at as it is to eat. Crispy outside, soft inside, with layers of sweetness and texture a truly innovative and wellexecuted dessert that sums up the entire experience here.Overall, Taco Wuey is a gem in Southwest Detroit Definitely one of the most creative and delicious Mexican dining experiences in the city.

Chef Eddie Vargas' restaurant is a home run! The food is amazing with his family Birria recipe front and center. I had the Birria Ramen which was amazing, so flavorful! Of course I had to add a Birria Taco because, you just have to. For desert, we had the Paleta de Jicama and what a refreshing summer dessert! Cannot recommend Tacos Wuey enough!!

Chef Eddie continues to make delicious food. I was dreaming of this ceviche and so happy to have it again. This time I made myself take a picture before diving in! The flan was also surprisingly tasty. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu in time!

The food is absolutely delicious—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It's an elevated Mexican fusion style, made with high-quality ingredients that truly shine. Everything was perfect: the dishes looked elegant and appetizing, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special shout-out to Tina, who was incredibly kind, lovely, and always smiling. We felt genuinely cared for here, with amazing food and an outstanding team.

We ordered the guacamole 🥑 to start and it might be the best I've had in the area! Followed it with a couple different tacos that were all amazing, but really need to highlight the fish taco... BTW, the salsa is to die for!

I don’t usually leave reviews but Tacos Wuey does such a beautiful job presenting Mexican cuisine the way it should be. This brought me back to the food I ate in Oaxaca. An absolute treasure to have close by.

Tacos Wuey is a GREAT new place in Mexican village. I had the quesobirria and a pig ear taco, my wife got a torta, and we split some guac. Pro tip: they do not have a liquor license but you can bring you own wine or beer! Everything was delicious, and we will definitely be coming back!
