So thankful for this Mexican restaurant in downtown Detroit. The food is always delicious and high quality. The chicken quesadilla is my favorite and the chips and salsa always hit the spot. It is a smaller restaurant so there is minimal seating but they do have tables inside and a few outside on the sidewalk patio. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! Delicious food and impeccable service.
I cannot recommend this place enough.
Gigi’s service is TOP NOTCH! You feel like you’ve been welcomed by a friend. She recommends menu items, tells you what might go good with them, and suggests things for your next visit based on what you order.
And there WILL be a next visit. The food is that good. Try the friend flour tacos.❤️Delicious authentic Mexican food done right!

Small no frills neighborhood Mexican food. Small seating capacity with affordable prices and courteous owners/operators team. Their salsa is delicious & fresh but could use some more hotness. Guacamole dip is fresh and their entrees are close to authentic Mexican vs. Tex-Mex. They also offer take out meals. I like the cosy unpretentious feel. Highly recommend for a casual meal.

Always nice to see a cheap meal option in downtown. And I was honestly suprised how good it was. But what really caught my attention was a worker absolutely SCRUBBING this chair clean, legs and everything, while still being attentive to ppl coming in. I’m not one to really worry about how clean a place I eat at is, but it’s refreshing to see a restaurant that takes it seriously. I only wish this place was opened a bit later as that’s when I usually get out of the gym near by. Great job!!

Came here after visiting the Eastern Market and this place was busy. Got seated quick and were able to order and get our food pretty soon after that as well. Food was super good. Personally wasn’t a fan of the cheese in the Jose’s snack but the guac and salsa were good.

This was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had, in any city!

Jose’s Tacos is a tiny little hole in the wall restaurant down a side street in Downtown Detroit – blink and you might miss it! There are take-out and dine-in options available, with a few tables both inside and outside the front entrance. It definitely seems to be a family-run place with a lot of pride in their food.

We were lucky enough to stumble across this gem when looking at reviews of Mexican restaurants in the city. It was a close walk (about 10 minutes) from our hotel, the GM Renaissance Centre. They have an extensive menu with Mexican favourites, as well as full breakfast options, and they open early (9 a.m.)!

We wanted an afternoon ‘snack’ so opted for the tacos with fried corn tortilla shells (beef, fish and chicken). They also had other hard and soft shell flour and corn tortilla options, as well as both fried and non-fried. The meat was so juicy and flavourful and the veggies were very fresh and tasty! They were not overly stuffed, but I found the amount of food to be filling enough. You can get up to three toppings, or pay an additional .25 for extra toppings. We also tried the house-made pineapple water and wow – it was absolutely outstanding! There were small pieces of fresh pineapple and it tasted like an amped up version of pineapple juice So refreshing on a hot and humid day.

We loved it so much we came back with friends before our flight left the next day. We opted to try a smothered burrito plate, regular burrito plate, enchilada/taco/tamale plate and a breakfast. The plates all came with refried beans (so creamy and flavourful) as well as Mexican rice (perfectly cooked). It was my first tamale, and I thought it was quite moist and delicious. The enchilada, tacos and burritos were all so tasty and perfectly cooked. The breakfast was also great! We found the portions to be the perfect amount of food.

The service was very friendly and knowledgeable- they were very happy to help with the menu and offer suggestions.

10 out of 10 recommend for a great Mexican food experience!

The service was top notch! We were greeted promptly when we entered and treated wonderfully the entire time. The food was absolutely amazing, so fresh and the flavors were spot on. It is small, not a lot of seating but it was clean and the perfect lunch spot! Perfect for carry out too!

Best taco spot in downtown Detroit. The Al pastor on soft corn tortillas is top tier. The people who run the place are very nice. Not much room to sit and eat but it’s a cool atmosphere. Also don’t sleep on their burger or carne asada fries
