The Best Mexican Food in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti

The taco series covers one dish. This guide covers the broader set of Mexican and Mexican-adjacent menus in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti: tacos, burritos, tortas, enchiladas, tamales, and combination plates. The entries below are deliberately source-led. A current ordering page is more useful than an old price or a made-up personal ranking.

Ann Arbor

Dos Hermanos Express, 25 Jackson Industrial Dr, is a counter-service restaurant with tacos, burritos, tortas, and other Mexican staples. See the Dos Hermanos profile for reported family and business context, then use the restaurant's current ordering channel for menu and price details.

Tmaz Taqueria has Ann Arbor locations listed in the restaurant data, including Packard and Dexter Avenue addresses. The menu includes tacos and other Mexican and Central American dishes. Confirm which location is open, current hours, and item availability before traveling.

BTB Burrito, 1140 S University Ave, is a student-corridor counter-service option built around burritos, bowls, and tacos. Menu composition, late-night hours, and prices are volatile; use the restaurant's live ordering page rather than an older guide entry.

Ypsilanti and Dexter

MAIZ Mexican Cantina, 36 E Cross St, Ypsilanti, is a Depot Town sit-down restaurant. Its current menu and reservation information should come from the restaurant's own channels. The Fold entry is useful historical context but not a substitute for today's menu.

Encuentro Latino, 228 W Michigan Ave, Ypsilanti, offers a broader Latin American menu. Confirm the current cuisine, hours, and payment details directly before visiting; older descriptions may not reflect the current operation.

Chela's, 7065 Dexter-Ann Arbor Rd, Dexter, is covered in The Fold. The restaurant's own menu and social channels are the source for birria, tacos, tamales, and other rotating items.

Detroit context

For readers willing to drive, Taqueria El Rey and other Southwest Detroit restaurants are covered separately. That is a different dining corridor and should not be folded into an Ann Arbor ranking. See the Southwest Detroit guide for current addresses and neighborhood context.

Restaurant hours, prices, and menus change quickly. Verify the live source linked by each business before making a plan, and use the taco series only as a dated comparison rather than a guarantee of today's availability.
