The first thing I would point out about El Nacimiento is its vibe. It's just an awesome, old-Detroit Mexican restaurant. It's bright and lively inside, which I really appreciated, because sometimes the Mexican spots in Southwest can be dark and somewhat formal (like Xochi) or like you're eating at a diner (Evie's). This is a spot where you can have a good time and not feel like you're standing out. I was there on a Tuesday night and it was hopping. I had a ton of fun and would happily bring a date or friends here. I got the Taco dinner with the Consome to dip the tacos in, and I really liked it. I appreciate that they have a lot exotic options to fill the tacos like Beef Tripe and Chitlins. Not many spots do this, but it's great if you're a little adventurous and want to try a wild card Taco. Tacos were good size (not huge) and they tasted great dipped in the Consome. My Lomo tacos were really good if you're a fan something with a kick. The Pastor tacos were very good, traditional tacos that anyone would feel comfortable eating. The service was awesome, and our waitress was great. Food came out quick and she was incredibly sweet for the entire visit. The only drawback would be it's a pretty decent ways from Downtown, so if you're going here before an event, leave some time. Overall, it was an awesome spot to hangout with some very good food!

I had my first ever coronarita here and it was so good and strong. I was scared because I don't like beer so I thought it was going to be a strong mixture of margarita and beer but it wasn't it was a perfect blend. Our server was nice and she took her time with us and vice versa. The salsa is hot so forewarning and then they had this green type of did but it tasted like avocado and queso and when you mixed it with the salsa it was heaven . I ordered three birria tacos with the consume. The consume was a little flavorless but with some lime instantly got better. My cousin ordered guacamole which was pretty good with some salt and lime as well

I came here because I was dropped off by an Uber not far and needed a place to get a few drinks to crunch some time. Not gonna lie, the ambiance is nice, and I could tell just by the salsa alone that I would be coming back to get some food. AMAZING SERVICE! The person taking care of me was super nice and attentive. The only issue was I got two margaritas and they were the weakest drinks I ever had. I even got a second one to give it another chance and it was basically just sipping mixers. Honestly, I was drinking before I got there too and was drinking the whole time I was there. By the time I left for some reason it seemed like the drinks had so little alcohol I was able to sober up completely. I came only for drinks and was disappointed but the people who would come for the food will not be!

The best Mexican restaurant in Southwest Detroit. You find it off the corner of Springwells and Vernor. The food is very good best of all it has a very nice looking bar. This place is great for all sporting events especially boxing and at time Lions game. Don't worry about the wait staff trust me when I tell you the service here is 100% on your side the minute you walk in the door. My favorite here is the chicken and beef plate Mare y Tierra. Check out those charro beans they are to die for. The margaritas here will catch up with you if you have more than 2 . The beef or asada has a unique taste on its own. Before you try the others stop here first. That is all. Chief One reality of Yelp. Don't hit on a man's wife here and expect the husband not to find out. Then you will find out reality will reach out and touch you.

So where do I start?! I was hopping around in the Southwest area searching for the best quesabirrias and this location was the fourth on my list. Once I made it here, my search stopped. I was HOOKED like fish on bait. I continuously come back here and have brought and told, as of right now about 8 people about this place. ALL OF THEM are now hooked What a great friend/sister/cousin I am. So I've been here over 10 times and every time I've came, I've had great service, great food, great drinks, and I was in my happy happy joy mode. I've seen people talk about the cleanliness of the place and sometimes, yes, messes are left behind from previous parties and they didn't have the chance to get it cleaned up right away because of the amount of people coming in. You can pick where you wanna sit and once you do, get ready to unlock the party in your tastebuds. The beans are some of thee best that I've had. The oysters are delicious, the quesabirrias are amazing with the consome, the burritos are delicious, the fajitas are just delectable and I could go on and on. TACO TUESDAYS I'm always in here! Lol Well not every Tuesday but just about. This is one of my fav spots. My phone found some old photos of the food I've had here. But when I get here, my mind is on eating.... Not on taking pics. So I gotta get better at that. But if you are in the area, even if you are not.....make the drive anyway! Just do it! You won't be disappointed.
