"I sampled Taqueria el Rey's stadium takes and found charcoal-grilled chicken wings seasoned in the taqueria’s adobo rub and street-corn nachos topped with Hatch chili queso, pico de gallo, cotija cheese, corn, and jalapeños—bringing southwest Detroit flavors into the ballpark." - Serena Maria Daniels
"A fire damaged the grilling area and interior on West Vernor, forcing a temporary shutdown; the taqueria has continued to serve fans by popping up weekly at Batch Brewing Company in Corktown while repairs are addressed." - Serena Maria Daniels
"A popular Southwest Detroit taqueria was destroyed by a blaze in January; while the family business works to rebuild, they have been operating pop-up service on Mondays and Tuesdays at a Corktown brewing company to continue serving customers." - Serena Maria Daniels
"“Mexicantown,” also known as Southwest Detroit, is the only place you should go when you’re craving tacos here. There are plenty of overdone, guacamole-made-at-your-table restaurants in the area, but skip those and head to our personal favorite, Taqueria El Rey. This super casual spot is known for its wide variety of tacos and whole grilled chicken, which is cooked under a tent next door. If you don’t feel like tackling an entire bird, choose from their lengthy taco list that includes everything from al pastor to beef tongue. photo credit: Michelle and Chris Gerard" - Sara Barron
