Billed as “Home of the best grilled chicken in Metro Detroit,” this family-owned Mexican restaurant is in the heart of Mexican Town just two blocks from Clark Park. Taqueria El Rey is famous for its grilled chicken. Whole chickens, coated in a secret mix of adobo spices, are roasted low and slow over an open-pit fire of all-natural hardwood charcoal. The result is mouthwatering delicious. Fans also rave about the flan. Made fresh, it sells out daily. Customers also recommend the tacos and the horchata. A great value, a Whole Chicken Dinner (10 pieces) served with rice, beans, tortillas and salsa, is $11.50. A Half Chicken Dinner (five pieces) with rice, beans, tortillas and salsa, is $7.
