Tacos are certainly a favorite dish here in Michigan. I mean, who doesn't love a hot, spicy taco? Thankfully, Michiganders want for little when it comes to taco restaurants, as we have a bunch of great ones throughout the state.
Now, a taco restaurant is expanding and opening a new location in a city they've never been in before. It's part of a larger expansion, to boot.
Condado Tacos will open a new location at 401 E. Liberty in Ann Arbor on March 3. The location will be the restaurant's fourth metro Detroit spot. It will be worth it to get there early, as the first 100 guests in line at the restaurant on opening day will score a “Year of Yum,” one free taco every week for a year, and a Year of Yum limited-edition t shirt. Everyone who shows up on opening day will get a free taco with purchase and $5 signature margaritas. Doors will open at 11 a.m., after a special ribbon cutting. In addition, guests who post to Instagram or Facebook on opening weekend with the hashtag #condadoannarbor will be entered to win a $1,000 Condado gift card.
“The Condado Tacos team couldn’t be more excited to open our first restaurant in Ann Arbor, and bring crave-worthy tacos and margs to this artistic and vibrant community,” Chris Artinian, president and CEO of Condado Tacos, said in a statement. “We often say Condado serves up ‘Enough Yum for Everyone’ and we feel that’s becoming truer in Michigan with the addition of our 30th restaurant (overall) in Ann Arbor next month, where our guests have embraced us since we first arrived there.”
In addition, Detroit and Ann Arbor artists have created murals for the new restaurant joining Condado's characters with Ann Arbor landscapes. According to Condado Tacos, who is based in Ohio, the taco expects to double its size by the end of 2023. View the menu here.
"Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives," hosted by Guy Fieri on the Food Network, is one of the most popular shows for food lovers. There's just something super entertaining about Fieri, and the show is so fun to watch. What's extra cool is that Fieri has come to Michigan multiple times and picked local restaurants to highlight on the show.
TVFoodmaps.com has compiled a full directory of all the restaurants that have appeared on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." Think of this as a list of spots every Michigan food lover should visit. Some of these restaurants are familiar to me, like Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger, while others I are not. My parents actually live just a few miles from Zaytoon Mediterranean in Lansing, Michigan, and I had no idea they were featured on the show until now. They do have some great Miditerranean food. Which are your favorite Michigan spots that you think should be featured on the show? Reach out to me on social media and give me some recommendations!
In total, Fieri has highlights 16 different Michigan restaurants on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." What can I say- we have some great eating spots here! View the full list of Michigan restaurants featured on the show below, and make sure to visit them at some point. View the full list here.
