Hola! Today’s P.O.T.D. (place of the day) is…
Place: Nuestra Familia (taqueria)
Location: Southwest Detroit, Michigan
Food: Chicken and Steak Taco Dinner
Drink: Horchata (rice water drink)
Southwest Detroit aka Mexican Town, is the BEST place for tacos! A taqueria is a Mexican restaurant specializing in tacos, and other Mexican food. There are dozens of taquerias in town but I chose Nuestra Familia because they never let me down. The first thing you’ll notice as you walk in is the rich and vibrant decor, the authentic furniture (most likely custom), and the mouthwatering smell of the freshly prepared food. On the weekends they have either a Mexican music band or mariachis. When the hostess guides you to your table an assigned waitress greets you with chips and salsas. I ordered the chicken and steak taco dinner with an horchata.
What is an horchata? In the Central American countries of El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa Rica, horchata refers to the drink known as semilla de jicaro, made from the jicaro seeds ground with rice and spices such as ground cocoa, cinnamon, sesame seeds, nutmeg, tiger nuts and vanilla.
Horchata, chips, and salsa!

The tables, and chairs match!
If you’re ever in town you should try this place out! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
