Here are 7 of the best places to celebrate Taco Day in Metro Detroit:
Los Altos Taqueria - Southwest Detroit
Los Altos Taqueria, on Vernor Highway, has the best tacos in the state of Michigan, according to Thrillist.
"Los Altos is the big sister to Taqueria Lupita’s, which is widely credited with introducing Detroiters to the traditional taqueria. But whereas Lupita’s is favored by the grab-and-go lunch crowd, Los Altos is the spot where you can stretch your legs a bit, sip on a margarita or cerveza, and chow down on a plate of exquisitely marinated tacos de birria."
Info: 7056 Vernor Hwy, open everyday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Taqueria Lupita's - Southwest Detroit
This hole-in-the-wall taco spot is not fancy or very well taken care of, but it sure is delicious.
