Tmaz Taqueria

"TMaz started as a tiny counter in a Mexican bakery and quickly became an Ann Arbor favorite. In addition to classic fillings like carne asada, al pastor, and chicharrones, you’ll find traditional antojitos, like handmade gorditas, huaraches, and a specialty of El Salvador, pupusas." - John Reyes

"Flavor and variety are represented well on the menu at this taqueria. The tacos and tortas come with a wide selection of meats — from the familiar grilled steak to cochinita pibil — a shredded, slow-roasted pork hailing from the Yucatan Peninsula. The pozole, a spicy pork and hominy-rich soup, is another must-have, especially on chilly Michigan days." - John Reyes

"When it comes to heartiness, there aren’t many soups that can match up to pozole — shredded pork and hominy in a pool of rich, spicy chile-infused broth. Tmaz serves a terrific version with a variety of garnishes like lime, shredded cabbage, chopped onions, and cilantro. Alternately, Tmaz’s earthy menudobeef tripe is another stellar option for soup season." - John Reyes

"Tacos are a popular hangover cure and Tmaz has over a dozen different options for fillings. If the situation calls for something stronger, go straight for the hearty pozole or menudo — spicy, hot soups filled with meat and vegetables." - John Reyes
