Hour Detroit

Zúmba Mexican Grille: It’s an odd sensation, sitting on a high stool at a
stainless steel counter, gazing out onto Main Street, Royal Oak — and
daydreaming over incredibly evocative tastes of Mexico while Mariachi
rhythms spill from wall-mounted speakers. Some folks who know what they're
doing have taken an ugly little vacant bunker across from the Main Art
Theatre and transformed it into a colorful, hip little taco stand
specializing in a short menu of real-deal Mexican street food. The guacamole
is the best we’ve had this side of Zihuatanejo, and is offered as both side
dish and one of several toppings for the big, beautiful, sloppy burritos,
crispy or soft-sided tacos, quesadillas and such. You can finish it off with
any or all of the salsas and garnishes at the self-serve station. 121 N.
Main St., Royal Oak; 248-542-1400. L & D daily. $3
