Sizzling fajitas, traditional tacos, and ice-cold margaritas are just a few of the reasons why Detroit Mexican restaurants are always a great choice for a meal out in the city. Mexicantown—a community directly southwest of Downtown Detroit—offers some of the most authentic Mexican spots in the city (and some of the best restaurants in Detroit, period). One of these is Taqueria El Rey, where the can’t-miss dish is the famous grilled chicken paired with a horchata. Nearby at El Barzon, the chefs make delicious homemade pastas in addition to Mexican dishes, resulting in the best Mexican-Italian fusion you never knew existed.
