Isalita

Detroit

Mexican Restaurant

$$$$

There's a mural of old Mexican men in cowboy hats on the wall at East Liberty's Isalita, but the crowds pouring in for the happy hour tacos are young. Bright green accents pop in the space where tacos are tart margaritas are go-tos. Gooey nachos make the perfect start to tortillas filled with glazed pork belly and pineapple, Baja battered fish, smoked beef or mushrooms. Mexican flatbread pizzas and meatballs mix things up when you're not in the mood for tacos... but who's ever not in the mood for tacos?
