My main issue with this trip was a lack of customer service... I'm alergic to milk products and there was some spots of sour cream on the jalapeños garnishing my chicharrones. When I told my waitress about my problem and asked to talk to the owner, who was standing right over by the cash register, she quickly thought of an excuse and said the sour cream was kept in a container next to the jalapeños and they must of somehow accidentally touched. Then she walked away. Well I wasn't satisfied with her answer and was still grossed out by the fact that there was something on my plate that shouldn't be there (and that I would have gotten sick from eating). So I called over a different waitress who said "no, the sour cream is not kept in a container next to the jalapeños" but that maybe the cook had some on his glove when he prepared my dish. But her excuse also didn't make any sense because in any restaurant that I've ever seen or worked at the sour cream is kept in a bottle with a dispensing top. There should be no way for the cook to have it on his glove. And if he did, then change your damn glove before you plate the next dish pendejo. Anyway I feel like the waitresses were just making excuses when I really was quite upset about it. I wanted them to take the whole dish away and take it off my bill but I could tell that wasn't going to happen so I just said forget it. It really wasnt worth getting myself upset over. Also guys their tacos are super small.... just saying. See the pic I posted with this review so you can see what I mean.

Taqueria El Nacimiento is by far my favorite restaurant in Southwest Detroit. I eat here almost every time that I am in Southwest and I have been here many times. I have brought family and friends here to eat as well and they all have loved it every time. I used to bring my kids here when they where young and we still lived in the area and it was there favorite restaurant in Southwest as well. I also turned my Pops on to it and he still eats here whenever he is in Detroit. I have had a number of the items on the menu and everything has always been good every time. On this particular day I had the "Carne En Su Jugo" which is one of my favorites on the menu and it was excellent as usual. They give you a big bowl for the large and I had to take some with me to go cause I couldn't finish it all. The salsa is also excellent and hot as well. I have been to a lot of Mexican restaurants around the country and this is one of my favorites. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for good authentic Mexican food when you are in Detroit Michigan, enjoy!

I'll get straight to the point. The food is not bad but if you plan on calling in a carry out BE PREPARED TO WAIT! I have a suspicion that they dont actually cook your food until you arrive and pay as this is the second time in a row that I've had an UNBELIEVABLY long wait for a call-in. There were no more than 10 people in the restaurant (most of whom were eating). She told me the food would be ready in 15 minutes. I pulled up in 25 minutes and had to WAIT AN EXTRA 15-20 MINUTES AFTER I PAID!! I felt disrespected. Lol Only way I'd return is if I'm dining in. There should be no excuse as to why my food took 40 minutes more than what I was told. I was especially livid because I went on my lunch break. Needless to say I was late returning. Again...if calling in and they tell you 15 minutes......👏CLEAR 👏YOUR 👏SCHEDULE!! TERRIBLY SLOW!

I placed an order for the first time. The total was $27.53 plus a $4.96 tip. I tipped because i try to prevent any shenanigans with my food. Failed attempt. We sat at a table in view of Brenda, who was working the front orders. I caught her speaking to other Mexican guests and looking at us and laughing. I automatically catch things like that all of the time. I brushed it off. So I witnessed my order being completed and was sitting on the counter because I specifically ordered the consome. Some other Mexican guy with a cowboy hat came from the back and started messing with the orders. That was like five to seven minutes of our food already sitting. So once he left, two minutes later, Brenda calls us and says: “sir your order is ready, i didn’t know that you guys were sitting there.” Girl, you saw us. I will never return.

I hate to have to post a bad review for a place that I normally enjoy eating at, but this review is about the carry out from this restaurant and unfortunately it is not good, we placed an online order for a carry out we ordered 4 different dinners and out of the 4 only 1 dinner met the standards of what you would receive if you dined in. I included 2 pics of the worst dinners. First one is a Botana w/ Chorizo it had the makings of a good Botana, but contained very few chips and was just tossed together, Sad! and the second is the Chicken Milanesa with the chicken cut so thin that it was almost to dry and hard to enjoy. Again I have always been satisfied with the food while dining in, but I will never order another carry out.

B-Tier tacos. Okay chicken and okay steak tacos set this place aside. They deliver the garnishes at the beginning and offer in-house chips and salsa. The Roja salsa is kinda adobo tasting. At 2.00 a taco, they are quite affordable as well. Service was very friendly but really slow. My biggest gripe is there is barely any protein in the tacos and the side garish onion tasted a little buttery and the jalapeno wasnt hot. This place is a Try.
