Great Central American food in Detroit - Antojitos El Catracho

[Vic01]

My new favorite, I've eaten lunch here 8 or 10 times since I read the Metro-Times review in early July. Great people and excellent food...

"Why choose a Central American restaurant over a Mexican one? [[Assuming, in both cases, that you’re going for the real thing rather than an Americanized version. Actually, I haven’t yet met an Americanized Central American restaurant. In Detroit, at least, they’re all real-deal, serve-the-neighborhood places.)

Fried plantains would be reason enough. But enormous sopas with hand-made tortillas, crisp carne asada, tamales done right, and horchata are also plenty of motivation, as is your perpetual desire to broaden your horizons".

Do yourself a favor and read the review, then go enjoy... [[not well marked, only sign is on the door, none on bldg. It's on the N.E. corner of McGraw & Tarnow just East of a Sunoco station)

here's another pupusa place, my old favorite, about a mile away on Livernois near John Kronk.
