Modern Taco's and Craft Cocktails in downtown TC. They have really delicious tacos, which you order individually so you can mix and match whatever you like.

It is right in the middle of Downtown Traverse City, so it can be hard to get a table. There is plenty of shopping and the beach nearby, so if you get on a waitlist you won't be

You can get an authentic taste of Texas while in Michigan thanks to chef John Larson, who named this taco spot after his El Paso-based great-grandmother Lu. The best thing about this modern and stylish taqueria is the taco kit, which can feed five to seven people with an assortment of meats, salsas, veg, chips and more.
