Hot Taco Detroit — Restaurant in Detroit

We stopped here before a concert based solely on the location, but we were pleasantly surprised. The food is good; it's a nice, pretty basic taco joint. I tried the steak, hot chicken, and pork (without the mango salsa) tacos and, by far, the best was the pork. All the tacos were great, but the pork was exceptionally wonderful.

I’ve included a photo of what my tacos look like for comparison. Yeah, I know food styling and all that, but if you are looking for gut-busting tacos and burritos this isn’t the place. One of my pet peeves about taco places that aren’t authentic taquerias is that so much of the food is precooked and kept warm. The tacos I had were flavorful, but the lukewarm ingredients and tortillas really lessened their impact and...
