“ La Favorita is my favorite. Super secret spot down by the marathon refinery. Best burritos in detroit. The staff is super nice and I love the little grocery store. We go there at least once a week. Dine in or take out. Their horchata is my favorite. Their red hot salsa is the best out of all the spots I've been. Their tostada salad is amazing too. Go hungry. Habla espanol. Gracias La Favorita! ”
