Ruckus Taco Company Canton — Restaurant in Canton Township

To be completely upfront and transparent, my wife and I ended up dining here based solely on the fact that we received a gift card as a housewarming gift from our recent move.

If you're unfamiliar with this place, which I think many of you might be, it's tucked away in a shopping center about as equally from downtown Plymouth as it is from the hustle and bustle of Canton's epicenter. It's not exactly close to the road so you may miss it if you're not actively looking for it. The plus of it being in a strip mall type shopping area is that there is always plenty of parking and it's free so you never have to worry about that.

We had personally never heard of this place, but we both love tacos so it seemed fitting, and we thought it was until...

We decided to use the gift card.

The first thing we noticed is how expensive it is compared to other places that serve similar options. I think it ended up being close to eighteen dollars after I got my bowl constructed the way I wanted. That's an insane price for a bowl full of rice and taco toppings. Beyond the whole price thing, the food is just okay. It's absolutely edible and there was nothing wrong with either of our meals as far as quality or anything like that, but it's nowhere near the tier of being able to charge what they do, for what they do. I will say that the only food we tried was the Mexican food, so I cannot speak on the burgers or anything else that is served here. That being said, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to try anything else here based upon the items I've already tried.

I guess when it comes down to it, I don't see why anyone would settle for the Mexican food they peddle here when there is some of the best most authentic Mexican fare you can find in the entire state, just thirty minutes or so away in Detroit.

At the end of the day taste is subjective, and after trying this place, my wife and I felt our taste is geared more toward the more affordable and authentic options that are out there. I am glad that we at least gave this place a try though because the employees are friendly and professional, and the overall atmosphere of this place is pretty awesome. I just wish they had better Mexican food to go a long with...

I was told about this place and I wanted to try it. Not for the Tacos, Burritos, or Rice bowls. Not for the chicken sandwich. But for their Smash burgers. I was told that the burger was epic.

As I entered this restaurant, the walls were colorful. It seemed like a gathering place for junior high-school kids to early 20-somethings. There are pinball machines and a few other games inside.

I ordered a smash burger with pickles only. I like to taste a burger without disguising it with extras. I also ordered a smash burger with cheese, pickles, and sauce. Each burger came with 2 patties. A decent-sized burger. Burgers cost $10 ea. Go with an extra patty for just $3. It will be worth it. I liked the burger, but next time, I will add the sauce. I did take a sample of the cheeseburger. For not usually like Cheese on my burger, but it was very good.

I also ordered 6 barbacoa tacos with lettuce, cheese, salsa, and cheese sauce. Tacos cost $4 each. The cheese sauce is overwhelming, but the Taco is still good tasting.

To finalize the order, I ordered seasoned fried. They were OK. Fries $6.

My takeout order was ready when I expected it.

I do realize these are inflationary times, but it seems the prices are high here.

Will I go back again,...

Cool spot with tons of potential.

I got the soft corn tacos. 1 chorizo and 1 fried cauliflower. They were delicious. I only have 1 criticism of the food—the tacos were over-stuffed. Maybe that’s their signature thing idk but in my experience, this style taco (i.e. a hipster “street taco”) isn’t completely packed out with meat. If I were them, I’d put half the meat in there and charge $1 less per taco.

They should also serve fountain pop imo. All they have is bottle/can offerings.

I would also offer this piece of operational and marketing advice to them—be open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. Capture the downtown Plymouth post-bar crowd because this would be phenomenal “drunk food.” Currently Zack’s diner captures all this business. I would bet people would drive another 1/2 mile to come here instead to play some pinball and smash some tacos. I’d give it a 1-month trial and pump a some marketing cash into facebook ads, targeting Plymouth and the 20-30 age range with clear messaging that you are open til 2am on Fridays and Saturdays for the month of X. Just my 2 cents! I was very inspired by the potential of this place. I want to see a unique spot like this thrive, especially considering...
