Real Taco Express | Our Story
Authentic Mexican street food comes to Metro Detroit
Real Taco Express is a regional restaurant chain and food truck fleet with one mission: bring the authentic flavors of the streets of Mexico to Metro Detroit. Every dish is crafted fresh on-site, every single day.
The food, built on the classics
Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and tortas built on birria, al pastor, carnitas, chorizo, grilled shrimp, and more — each combo served with rice and beans or rich consomé.

Quesabirria, the signature
Griddled, cheese-pulled, dipped in consomé — the quesabirria has earned a dedicated following and is made the same way every time.
Two restaurants, one fleet
Brick-and-mortar locations in Troy and Roseville anchor the brand across Metro Detroit, with food trucks extending the reach even further. Wherever you find Real Taco Express, the food is always real and always made fresh.
Come have a fiesta
Whether it's a quick lunch or a full family spread, Real Taco Express is built for everyone. Pull up a chair and let the food do the talking.
