We had an amazing experience on Cinco de Mayo! The pastor was some of the best I have had in Michigan. Our server was friendly and welcoming. The other staff all seemed happy and were pleasant. The portions are generous, and you can taste the freshness. We will be back!

Wow! This place is so good! The service is top notch and the food tastes great. I tried the steak gordita and chorizo street taco. Hands down the best gordita I've ever had. Must try for sure. Excellent prices as well.

This is not your typical Tex-Mex spot. The food is truly authentic and made with fresh. They offer a great variety of meats and plates, and the service is phenomenal you’re greeted right when you walk in and made to feel welcome. The restaurant can fill up pretty quickly, which says a lot about how good it is. You really can’t go wrong with their Mexican tacos, and I recommend the fried quesadillas, gorditas, huaraches. Don’t skip dessert either finish it off with a tres leches cake or churros. Prices are very reasonable, especially compared to fast-food places. The quality, freshness, and authenticity here easily beat fast food and other nearby spots I’ve tried. If you’re craving real Mexican food, this place is a must-try!

Its the best taco place in the midwest, maybe all the US. The crispy taco is so unique, its "american" style but it is wholey unique like a mix between a taco and empanada. Their salsas are all so good. We used to visit regularly when they were at their orginal location and were so sad about the fire, but then we were excited and abrehensive about the new location. The new pricing had me wait a bit before coming back, but like everything, costs have gone up, that said, I haven't been this satisfied with $12 lunch in a long time. This is the best place to eat in Westland hands down and the best tacos in the US!!

The new owners are not newcomers to the restaurant business and run an excellent business! Service could not have been better on our visit tonight, with our waitress being so cheerful, friendly, and helpful that we'd come back again just to be waited on by her regardless of the food. The food was wonderful by the way. I highly recommend their al pastor which you can get the regular way or with extra grilled pineapple. I opted for one of each to compare, and they're both fantastic, with the latter being my top pick because I love the flavor of grilled pineapple. My husband got chicken enchiladas with green sauce. The cheese on top is delicious and the sauce brought most of the flavor to the chicken, which was cooked well and moist but a little plain tasting. He said he'd ask for chicken tinga or beef next time. Their salsas are tasty, with the smokiness of the spicy chipotle salsa and excellent flavor and kick to the green jalapeno salsa being great choices for those who like spicy food, and their regular salsa a delicious choice for the less adventurous. Turning into the driveway is tricky if you're heading west on Ford, so if traffic is heavy, to avoid a potential accident turning there you may want to go past and turn around. I hope you enjoy it here as much as we did. We look forward to our next visit!

Perhaps the best and most authentic mexican tacos you could stumble across. At roughly $3/taco, you cannot beat the authenticity and value this exceptional family owned restaurant brings. Honored to have found this spot and I wish them all the best. If I resided in the area, I would frequent them weekly.

We went here as a suggestion from a colleague and i’ll buy her lunch the next time we see her… she was 💯! Service- 5 Quick, friendly and professional, very helpful staff and enjoyed their recommendations. Food- 5 By far one of the best burritos and tacos i have had. Chicken burrito was fresh , warm and absolutely delicious. You could tart each and every ingredient. Tacos De Barbacoa- Absolutely on point, rich delicious slow cooked beef and fresh ingredients . The stand out though was actually the homemade tortillas, flaky delicious with just enough pool told everything together Value- Very strong value for money, expect about 20$ per person. Highly recommend, will return !!!

This place is a gem and my favorite Mexican restaurant in Westland. The food is consistently delicious, service is speedy, accurate and the staff are just lovely; personable, efficient, they always serve with such enthusiasm and are authentically sweet!! Excellent bang for your buck here, I have been dining here for at least a year and have never had one complaint. It usually is busy with regular customers frequenting and door dash pick-ups but we never wait for a table even though they only have 10 booths and 10 counter seats. They also have a souvenir stand - so cute!!

I haven’t been eating out much but it was cold and I was hungry after the gym. With the contents of my fridge and pantry not sounding appetizing, I decided to venture out and try a taco place that replaced another taco place a while back. The waitress was correct in how she described Taqueria Alameda as being the best kept secret in Westland for Mexican. If you haven’t tried this place and like Mexican, wake yourself up as you are likely sleeping! I apologize for not taking a photo of the actual tacos but I ate them so fast I didn’t think to take one until they were already consumed. Trust me! They were fantastic, not lacking meat, and with a splash of the green sauce, were consumed in less than a minute each. My bill, less than $10, may best be described as reasonable, or possibly theft! I saw a server bringing some fruity drink out after I was finished and I should have asked what it was. It looked good. I will likely be getting one next time. Of note, they don’t serve alcohol so if you are looking for a margarita or corona, head somewhere else. One complaint I have, the booths are old and need to either be replaced or have some padding and support added. They are old and not very comfortable(but then again that may also be good for flipping tables faster)
