Topping the list is Los Dos Amigos. Located at 7115 Parkwood St., the Mexican food stand is the highest rated of its kind in Detroit, boasting five stars out of 17 reviews on Yelp.

Yelpers love the bargain prices and great quality of the ceviche tostada with shrimp and crab, as well as the steak quesadillas. One reviewer has been so consistently impressed that he's updated his review eight times since 2011.

Midtown's Bangkok 96 Street Food, located at 474 Peterboro St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the Thai fusion stall 4.5 stars out of 13 reviews.

"It's like a sushi chef got drunk and made burritos with only Thai ingredients," enthused Yelper Florina A. Others echoed the praise for the stand's signature fusion dishes, especially the toasted chicken pad Thai roll and Thai pizza with chicken, beef, pork or veggie toppings.
