This City Was Named The Most Cost Effective Travel Destination In Michigan

What city was named the most cost effective travel destination in Michigan? Well, it's not what you'd expect but there should be stuff to do!

When you think of travel destinations in Michigan places like Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Traverse City probably come to mind. There are tons of activities and places to check out in those cities. However, are they the most cost effective travel destination in Michigan? Let's find out.

Knowing the most cost effective travel destination in Michigan can be incredibly beneficial. It seems like traveling and products are all more expensive these days, leading us all to trying to find the most budget-friendly travel options available. While it might not be the most popular tourist destination, you can still find plenty to do!

According to Airport Parking Reservations, Lansing is the most cost effective travel destination in Michigan. That was a bit surprising but I suppose it makes sense. You don't hear about people traveling to Lansing often or planning a vacation there. However, that doesn't mean there's nothing to do in Michigan's capital. You can go see a Lansing Lugnuts baseball game. You can check out the Capitol Building. You can also take a quick trip east to check out East Lansing and enjoy the campus at Michigan State University. It's one of the most beautiful campuses in the country, and I say that with all intended biases.

How did Lansing end up in first place? Airport Parking Reservations says factors like beer cost, cappuccino cost, the cost of a meal for 2, and the price of other recreational activities. You can definitely buy all of those at a better price in Lansing than you could in other bigger cities across Michigan. Is it the best place to travel? Admittedly, no, it's not. However, you can still have a great time while saving a buck in the great city of Lansing, Michigan!

Tacos aren't only for Tuesday! Here are 5 must-try tacos in Metro-Detroit for any day of the week!

Taco Tuesday is celebrated in many homes--and rightfully so. It can give you something to look forward to on Tuesday, and having something to look forward to can really help you get through the workday. However, tacos aren't only for Tuesday! You can enjoy them any day you choose. Here are 5 must-try tacos in Metro-Detroit that you can enjoy whenever you please.

When it comes to tacos, everyone has their favorite. It's one of those things where you really can't be wrong. You could even say your favorite taco place on Earth is Taco Bell and I couldn't find any flaw in that. However, if you're looking for something a bit more authentic maybe fast-food isn't the way to go. There are many other great tacos in Metro-Detroit to choose from.

When looking for the best tacos in Metro-Detroit, I had to consider a number of factors. Variety was important. I don't want a place where you can only get ground beef. No way! The best taco places will have beef, pork, chicken, and more! You know it's going to be good when you see unique items on the menu like "Lengua" (that's beef tongue). That's always a sign that they're doing things in authentic fashion.

Additionally, I considered factors like flavor, price, and availability. I don't want to recommend a taco that's out of the ordinary budget, that would be lame. A good taco is something cheap that packs a punch of flavor. I'm so sick of all these new-age restaurants trying to reinvent the taco. It doesn't need it! So, I'm sure there are awesome taco joints out there with a crazy Elote Taco or Krazy Korean Taco but that's not what I'm looking for or talking about here. I love the Hot Chicken Taco from Honcho in Clarkston, but it won't make the list because it isn't traditional enough. I want it plain and simple. Give me meat, onions, and cilantro. Then, some sauce on the side for me to pour on and I'm all set. I don't ask for much!

Thankfully, there are many places to get tacos in Metro-Detroit that fit this description. Here are 5 of my favorites that I would recommend. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments! Whether you're enjoying Taco Tuesday or looking for a Saturday lunch, these places should do the trick!

Now, there are Taco Stands popping up all over Metro-Detroit. There's a reason for that. It's because it's so extraordinary! Their tacos could be the best in Metro-Detroit. I've always gone to the location on Allen Road in Allen Park. However, you can go to any and will experience the same greatness. They have locations across Metro-Detroit including: Birmingham, Garden City, Allen Park, Sterling Heights, Taylor, and Riverview. You can't miss with the Chorizo. The Al Pastor is fantastic, too.

I know this is all about tacos, but they could also have the best Quesadilla I've ever had, too. Seriously, try it. You won't regret it.

I recently had Tienda Mexicana for the first time, and I have been missing out. Thankfully, it's close to my new place and I will be back. I've always said the best tacos can be found in Mexican markets and this is another example of that. We tried them all and they all were tasty. I'll be going back for more very soon.

If you're looking for the best tacos in Metro-Detroit you'll probably want to head to Southwest Detroit. There are so many to try and Mexicantown is right there. You can't lose! Especially if you go with El Taco Veloz. You know a place is good when you see it growing and expanding, and we've seen that with El Taco Veloz. They do it right.

I couldn't make this list and not include a taco from Mexicantown. It just felt wrong. Sure, I think Mexicantown is better for sit down meals and options that are more than tacos. I'd be more likely to order Fajitas or some kind of Chimichanga in Mexicantown but that doesn't mean there aren't excellent tacos around! My go-to would be Taqueria El Rey. Hits the spot every time.

I'll finish the list with Taqueria Mi Pueblo. If you have a foodie friend who loves eating their way through Detroit, this is likely where they'll send you for tacos. It's as authentic as it is delicious. It doesn't matter what you order, you're going to like it. Pork? Yup. Chicken? Yes! Beef? Mhm. Try it all.
