El Taco Veloz

I am always on the hunt for great tacos, especially al pastor, and when a friend was visiting from out of state I was excited to try a new place and this one popped up.No issue with it being in the back of a grocery/convenience store, some of the best food comes from there, however to not have carnitas on the menu? Bummer. Also with the Cass Ave hipster crowd having a gathering in the parking lot should have been my second clue that something was amiss.They weren't the worst tacos I've ever had, but they were just bland. My friend got chicken and she said the only flavor was the lime juice she squeezed on, and my chorizo tasted just like some greasy ground pork but no spice at all. The asada was okay, and the shrimp was okay. Tortillas were fresh, and horchata was good but next time I'll know that if I want tacos in Detroit, like real Mexican tacos, it's Vernor Highway or bust. Thankfully Tienda Mexicana in Madison Heights had carnitas tacos so we made a pit stop on our way back to the suburbs so my friend wasn't totally disappointed with her visit.

This is one of the authentic and yummy Mexican food. They manage the place well, from when it was only in a truck until they are able to rent the place as the restaurant. My favorites are chicken, beef, and birria tacos. You have to try the birria. It's sooo juicy and tasty, you'll leave fully satisfied and bring it into your dream.

I stopped here because the restaurant I usually go to on my Mexican grocery run was closed. The food was so robust and full of flavor that we ordered duplicates to take home for later. Me - a simple cheese and avocado quesadilla accompanied by radishes, a grilled fresh whole jalapeño, an ample serving of grilled onions and fresh lime wedges. Hubby - The most flavorful and bounteous taco he had ever had (his words)You can sit in the warehouse if you like but we just ate in our car. The young man working the truck was so polite. All in all lunch was a WIN.

This is a nice fast authentic taco place in Detroit. I have had better tacos but it's still pretty good

Ok, if your looking for five star sit down, this isn't the place - but if you want authentic Mexican food quick in the D, it's one of the best. It's become my go to for Menudo and anything Ceviche....arguably the best in the D as far as that goes. Most take out, but I eat in - and I'm still usually out in a half hour or under.Bottom line - you can't go wrong if your hungry and in a hurry.

My favorite taco truck by far. We live in dearborn heights but will do the 30 minute drive to eat this yummy food. Never a complaint.

Over a decade a most unique Taco Truck with a dining room. Yes about a month ago they open Dining Room after Covid. You order at Taco Truck and take a seat inside then they deliver to your table. If waiting in your car they wave at you. A very large clean dining room with clean restrooms always filled with mostly Mexican Families enjoying the food from the homeland of Jalisco Mexico. Both parking lot and dining room packed when we visited around lunch hour. They opened another location in the Cass Corridor 5 year's ago inside a market and another Taco Truck in New Boston Mi area. Famous for the Full Size Double Stuffed Tacos at half price of restaurants around town. All come with Radishes, Lime, Grilled Onions n Salsa. I got 3 marvelous Al Pastor Tacos WOW fantastic. She had 3 mega Chicken n Cheese Quesadilla only 3 Bucks each outstanding Delicious. I added a Chicken Cheese Burrito OMG came with a Grilled Jalapeno. Truly a decade old hidden gem in Sw Detroit. Corner of Livernois and Toledo you gotta use Google maps to find it. Won't see those Suburban Gringo Hipsters at this place. For the real deal named one of the very best in Detroit by many published articles. Find great reviews around the web Yelp Google Facebook Enjoy. #elvoleztaco #eatswdetroit #hiddengem #tacos #quesadilla #burrito #authinicmexicanfood #downriverfriendseat

I ordered birria tacos for my family and I. Everything looked great and fresh. I took out my camera to snap a picture because I was excited. This was my first time having birria tacos. I've been wanting to try them for a while. Yeah so the tacos and soup were horrible. It had zero flavor. The taco taste like boiled meat and the soup taste like warm water. I seriously contemplated if I had caught covid because it was tasteless. If it wasn't for the taste of the orange pop I ordered, than I probably would have convinced myself that I have covid. This place has great reviews so i don't know. Maybe a bad day.

Food is awesome! I drive from Rochester Hills just to get tacos! They are fast and very friendly!

a "taco dinner", which includes 2 tacos with a side of rice and beans, costs $9.50. however, if you buy 2 tacos ($6) and add a side of rice and beans ($3) you get a total of $9. this basic math tells me that whoever operates this place and sets the menu prices lacks a certain level of awareness. its basic fast food in the back of a liquor store so don't get too excited.
