Outstanding food with a cultural twist. Many nice restruants, and bakeries. We have been going there for years, and will continue to do so.

I chose Mexican Town for my birthday dinner because I had never been there before. It was wonderful. 10 of us enjoyed a terrific meal, good parking and a unique atmosphere at Xochimilcos. Go here for the fun and food!!

The several restaurants in Mexicantown have the tastiest Mexican food in the Detroit area. I'm sure people differ a lot on which restaurant is the best. My family likes Evie's (which, you should know, closes at 6:00pm). Evie's has excellent tamales and a killer Mexican Sandwich. Mexicantown's drawbacks -- it's not the prettiest place, and getting back to a freeway... More

The chips are homemade.. so I love getting a nice large bag to go. The food is good too but I don't visit this particular restaurant very often.

Mexicantown has an excelent and super delicious food and the ambiance is just magnifique. Besides being the real authentic type of ethnic cuisine without being so adapted like it happens in many other restaurants.

This was just a average experience for me . Wanted a casual night out and mexican sounded good. The service was great and the food was average. Good but not great mexican food. I was happy with the MargaritaS . They were great . Especially by the fourth one (lol)

The area can be a bit dicey - but we love to go. Armados is our favorite hang out. And there is attended parking in the back. The bakery, across the street, is amazing!

Six of us went to the Detroit Auto Show on Feb.21st. We decided to go to lunch/dinner at Mexicantown, as none of us had been there, but, had heard good things. There are quite a few Mexican restaurants within a few blocks of each other, thus the area being called "Mexicantown". Without getting specific on everyone's orders, the food arrived... More
