Easily the best food bargain in Detroit is this thoroughly unpretentious diner in the heart of Mexicantown. The best tamales in the state and perhaps in the entire United States are churned out here. The choice of what you can put inside the steamed corn husk of the tamales includes spiced-just-right pork or chicken, beans or even fruit. The decor has only the bare essentials, but that deficiency is counter-balanced by solicitous service and an extensive menu beyond tamales, including steak and eggs, short ribs, menudos and botanas (generous chips, cheese and vegetables platters).

Plenty of competitors have opened their doors, but Xochimilco is still the top spot for its dependability. The formula is simple: generous portions of Mexican staples, including tasty guacamole and gargantuan burritos. The price has remained affordable, and people keep coming nightly until 2a for drinks and munchies.

Once a secret known only to adventurous diners, El Comal has become more popular and accessible after moving to larger quarters.

Among the favorites are pupusas (cornmeal cake filled with beans, pork or cheese), fried plantains and golden hen soup. The handmade tortillas are cooked fresh on a large grill (El Comal means "grill"). It's a very unpretentious place; the food's the star.
