“ They just catered our son’s graduation party this past Saturday and we couldn’t have been happier. They were very kind, clean, and overall made the usual stress of worrying about the food and setup obsolete! The food was amazing too! I would definitely recommend using them. ”
“ Hands down the best Mexican food around doesn’t get any better. I’ve been coming here my whole life and will continue to come here until I die. Nothing will ever top this place. Everything on the menu is FIRE ”
“ I used to go to Taco Especial with my family when I was just a little girl living in Michigan. Since I’ve moved to Ohio many years ago I rarely get a chance to come by. Today I got to bring my 4 year old in and it really was full circle. This place has Delicious food and great service. The door is always opening with people coming in picking up food or coming to sit down. My family was impressed. My favorite and go to is the Quesadilla Dinner. So simple yet quality ingredients make it perfect. Highly recommend if you’re near Detroit. ”
“ This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in all of downriver. The people who work here are the absolute best. Everyone is so kind and accommodating. Excellent customer service. And the food is always so good, prepared just the way you like it. My whole family loves this place, I have been eating Taco Especial for years and its always a fan favorite. ”
“ I love this restaurant, but you need to fix your online ordering feature. I tried to order from your door dash on line, but after spending about 15 minutes picking out my food and completing my order, it would not let me place my order, no matter what I tried, so I got frustrated and cancelled my entire order and ordered from Amigos instead and had no problem placing my pickup order. ”
“ Should’ve taken my photo before I dug into it but I was starving and this food looked sooooo good. I got the enchilada suizas and my boyfriend got the dinner combination and everything was fantastic. Dining room is cozy and clean and our server was great. Probably a new date spot for us ”
“ Decided to give this place a try and so glad we did. Sign on the door states family owned since 1979. Food was very good. We started with guacamole that was creamy and carried a nice flavor. I got a combination plate of chimichanga and 2 tacos came with rice and beans, and enough food for about 2 meals, so come hungry. My wife ordered the especial salad with chicken, it was layered with flavor. About the only thing I would knock on here would be the salsa was very thin and watery but wasn't bad. The best part in my opinion was they didn't kill everything with cilantro, which done places do that and I can't eat cilantro. Dining area was a little dark but not bad and it is a little tight, while we were there it got busy and they do a ton of carryout orders, so the entry area got crowded. We will definitely return. ”
