Evie’s Tamales, swoon-worthy for both the taste buds and the wallet! The Detroit restaurant serves an unbeatable lunch special: two pork tamales, rice, and beans for $4.75. $4.75!
To be filled up by a $5 meal in this age of inflation: that is magic. And Evie’s tamales are magic: savory, flavor-filled magic. Round it out with rice and beans, and you’ve got a tasty, satisfying meal!
This family-owned restaurant has been a staple in the Mexicantown neighborhood of Detroit for decades. And it serves much more than tamales. Visit Evie’s for other classics of Mexican cuisine: burritos, enchiladas, tostadas, tacos, flautas, chimichangas, menudo, and more. It even serves breakfast! This egg-centric section of the menu features a.m. favorites such as chilaquiles and huevos rancheros.
And Evie’s offers another lunch special: a pick-two combo that consists of rice, beans, and two items from this list: taco, burrito, enchilada, tostada. All that for $5.50.
$5.50 for a happy belly? I’ll take it!
