Over the years, a lot has changed in the taco business in Detroit. For many years, the taco in a typical Mexican American restaurant in the area either used a soft flour tortilla or was fried and crispy. Restaurants and food trucks are coming up with their own variations of this inexpensive and filling lunch in Southwest Detroit and around the larger metro area.
Here are some of the Best and Most Tasty Tacos in Detroit.
