Vecino in Midtown Detroit, which describes itself as a "Modern Mexican" restaurant and bar, has been named the 2025 Detroit Free Press/Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Restaurant of the Year.
"We offer a unique take on Mexican cuisine and a curated selection of agave spirits," the restaurant's website states. Vecino is located at 4100 Third Street.
Lyndsay C. Green of the Detroit Free Press writes:
Vecino, Detroit’s latest Mexican restaurant, has distinguished itself from the stalwart institutions that have staked their claim for generations, first, by positioning itself in Midtown, 3 miles outside of southwest Detroit, and by drawing inspiration from Mexico City, Mexico’s south-central capital nearly 350 miles outside of Jalisco. Whereas the majority of Detroit’s Mexican restaurants are casual, Vecino is uniquely upscale, modeled after the contemporary fine dining restaurants that have typified Mexico City’s food scene in recent years.
