Dos Hermanos Market

I’ve lived only a block away for the past 5 yrs. why didn’t I come in this place sooner??? Looks and location can be deceiving I know better than to judge a book by its cover but this cover looks kind of rough. Glad I ventured in because I found a gem in the rough. Great Mexican deli menu tamales, tacos, burritos, very authentic Mexican market place is always packed with people and extremely friendly. My new market I’ve been here 3 days in a row now and will keep coming back

Best tacos in town, especially their carnitas tacos. I believe they only sell prepared food on the weekends. I heard a rumor that they are working on opening a restaurant.

Amazing food inside a fabulous market. We were there on a Sunday, so they had their incredible menudo on the menu. We ordered an array of tacos as well, and were so happy — the food is so fresh and high quality! You can order lunch items (tacos, tortas, etc), but they also sell the meats, salsa, guacamole by the lb. On the market side, there are fantastic cuts of raw meat and freshly made cheeses. This is definitely my new favorite place to eat and shop!

I grew up in Ypsi. and have driven past this place so many times. I always intended to stop in but never got around to it, that is until this summer. After I ran into a vender in Depot Town and asked him about where he got his mortar and pestle, he said Dos Hermanos. Right away I drove up there. My only regret is that I hadn’t done it sooner.
I ordered the tamales, two chicken and two pork. My first impression was, ‘these taste like grandmas.’ Seriously I’ve never had them as good as my grandmothers but they do in fact rank up there with the best I’ve had.
The store itself is pretty large with all sorts of things from food to cleaning supplies. I even got that mortar and pestle for under 20 bucks.
Since that first visit I’ve been back several times but have not tried anything other than the tamales, they are just so good I can’t help but get them on each visit.

So glad I tried this place. I was a little intimated by the previous post saying you might have trouble if you don’t speak Spanish. I had zero issues. Went Friday around 1pm everyone was friendly and spoke English. Unassuming place you can see the meat being cut up next to where they cook the tacos. Pork Carnitas and beef Barbacoa tacos awesome at a $ 1.60 each and they give a ton of meat. This place is as good as some of the best taco places in Mexican town. I would recommend park in the back vs the busy front street. Will definitely add this as a regular to go place.

I went there today after reading all the positive reviews about the tacos, and am sorry to say im rather disappointed. I got a few chicken tacos to go and there are BONES in my chicken. Maybe im not that knowledgeable about mexican food but ive never had a taco with any kinds of bones in it. They taste ok but id rather go to tmaz on packard. dont think ill go back again.

A friend told me that this place has the best tacos in Ypsi and I am happy to say that after a visit to Dos Hermanos today that I agree! The meat is very fresh, the tacos are cooked at a good temperature, and the prices are very affordable. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for bona fide mexican food in the Ypsilanti area!

Just as a quick update. One thing that I’ve noticed time and again is that they always have perfectly ripe avocados in the veg section. No need to wait 3 weeks to make that guac while those hard avocados take their sweet time ripening only to go off because you were a day late. Make it right when you crave it. The owner said he’s got a special technique to ensure avocado perfection every time, and I can vouch for it.

I like this place, the avocados are ready to go, a huge plus. The salsa while a bit bland is easily juiced up with some of the nice produce they sell here. There are some nice products that you find in Detroit. However I was surprised knowing that this place was a chain at how filthy it was. The doors were flung open and there were a lot of flies, there also seemed to be a fine layer of dust on a lot of the grocery items. Dos Hermanos is really the only game in town, and I like them. I just wish they would spend a little more time cleaning.

We live in Jackson. We have been to Dos Hermanos in Adrian and in Ypsi. The two main reasons I love this store is the Chorizo and the taco stand. My wife likes the canned goods and the spices. Unfortunately, the owners and staff don’t realize how many non-​Hispanics are interested in their goods. Many things are not labeled and when they are it’s only in Spanish. We like to try new things but we need to know what it is. Fruit? Vegetable? Eat it raw? Cook it? How? In Adrian they told us that they are a smaller store because there aren’t that many Mexicans there. What?! What about everybody else in the greater Adrian area?! Anyway, my wife cannot go three months without a road trip to Ypsi with a stop at Whole foods in Ann Arbor. They have beer, too!

How do you describe the awesomeness of this place in words? This is our one-​stop shop for all foods Mexican/​Chicano/​Latino. They have pretty much everything you need, from snacks to soft drinks to spices and cooking ingredients to produce and meats. And of course they have marinated meats that’re excellent, and they make their own chorizo. They also have a food counter that serve tacos and tamales, and I prefer the tamales here to another place that people like in a heartbeat. Feel too lazy to make your own pico de gallo? They make their own fresh. And where else do you go around here to find fresh nopales? Price is very reasonable, and people are so friendly. This is by far my favorite grocery store/​market around here.

This is why I love Unilocal.If not for seeing the reviews for this place, I would have never stopped.
There isn’t much more to say about this place that hasn’t been said. I spent $ 20, got 2 full bags of groceries and enough goods to make several meals and snacks. I got some tortillas, some steak fajita mix, beef, produce, dried peppers, homemade salsa and guacamole. I couldn’t wait to try the salsa and guacamole, and popped those open as soon as I got home. They were so tasty, that I would drive 25 minutes just to get those again. The fajita mix with the sliced peppers, onions, meat and marinade is wonderful, and its cheap enough to pick up to serve if I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to make dinner from scratch. Lets face it, who doesn’t want to save some time?
The employees were wonderful, and beyond helpful. I was greeted as soon as I came in, they left me alone to wander around, and when I was trying to decided between several items, a man came over to see if he could help. The lady working behind the meat counter was especially helpful since I didn’t know what I was looking for and I was trying to describe what I was trying to make.
The tacos that were coming out of their center food cart looked excellent. I wanted to try them, but had the kids with me. I didn’t think that a toddler wandering around with a taco was a good idea, or her eating a taco in the back of my car. Next time I’m going alone, and I’m going to get my grub on.
I had promised the kids that if they were good and kept their hands off the store items, that they could pick out a pack of cookies or something on the way out. I don’t know what they picked, but they were the best prepackaged cookies ever. The 3 of us ate the 6 cookies by the time we got out of the lot, and turned back onto Michigan. My son wanted to know if we could turn around and get more cookies. I almost did.

Where else can you get fresh chorizo (served at Beezy’s down the street if you haven’t noticed) and asian-​cut spareribs in the area? Fresh salsas? Fresh cheeses? Delicious roasted meats by the pound on weekends? Poblano-​and-​cheese tamales?
These are the things that propel Dos Hermanos into five-​star territory.

They are just like a NYC bodega, but in downtown Ypsi. Their produce is a bit hit and miss, but the meat counter was better than I expected. They carry a number of brands I haven’t been able to find since my time in S. FL, which is a welcome surprise.

A great little haunt in Ypsi. Stop in and you will be sure to find something you want to sample. A nice little grocery shopping trip, Dos Hermanos will help you with anything food related you are looking for.
They have great meat, with a full service meat counter that has some very tasty chorizo available, just for starters. If you are feeling lazy, you can buy precooked items to go by the pound like carnitas, bbq beef, lamb, goat (their goat here is not tough or stringy but fall off the bone type fabulous), assorted tamales, consommé and birria. This can help you *make* a delicious meal in a flash. You can get good ceviche here too, happy. Plenty of fresh veggies and fruits can be found to round out a meal. Salsas (I like the verde) and guac are convenient. Nice tortillas. You can stock up on everything here from a huge variety of beans to cilantro, fresh and dried peppers, even a good assortment of sugar cane pop (Jarritos and Pepsi too). Lots of spices. Bargain prices!
Its so nice to be working nearby and have a little haven to help for the time crunches that come from working too much lately. Dos Hermanos is a delightful lifesaver. Service is super friendly and its always a joy to swing by. Great for the cutting corners cheating type *cook* like me.

Great Mexican store with the center taco cart (11am — 1pm). Discovered this little hidden gem via Unilocal and have been very pleased.
Came out for tacos with my girlfriend and we ended up buying some spices and assorted items. I always like ethnic food, and find value in local stores compared to the ‘big box’ kroger /​meijer selection.
For a real authentic experience check this place out.

I strongly recommend this market over other Latino markets that I’ve visited in the Ann Arbor area. The selection here is good (for example, many, many different types of beans & salsas). The produce is generally fresh, and I like their selection of cheeses, meats, and other groceries.
On the weekends, as well, I go to get tacos & tamales. I’d recommend the beef tacos, though, over the pork. The pork tacos the last time around were a little dry. The tamales are also great — I’ve gotten the meat and vegetarian and both were very tasty and a great bargain at $ 1 each.

This place is great! It is well stocked and has everything you need for most Mexican recipes.
They have freshly rendered lard! The spanish word is «manteca», which will unlock the beauty of unhydrogenated pork fat to anyone who asks.
I also was able to get epazote here (although it was pretty limp, they pulled out the crate for me when I asked for it), limes are cheap as mentioned by Riki L. (10 for $ 1), and they have several brands of tortillas. There is also a pretty large selection of fish, meat, and fresh cheese at meat counter.
The staff went out of their way to help the confused gringa, which is what got them the fifth star.

I visit Dos Hermanos probably weekly either to stock up on fresh limes (usually 10/​$ 1) and avocados. The tortillas from El Milagro are amazing but spoil fast so make sure to keep them refrigerated and share them with a friend or two. The meat is extremely fresh. I’ve purchased lots of chorizo in the past as well as five-​pounders of pork to slow-​cook and shred for dishes. It’s all VERY AFFORDABLE! I’ve walked out with three bags of groceries for under $ 30. Many meal options for a low cost.
I love to stock up on spices (very fresh, located against the wall as you come in past the pastry case) and cans of beans, cubes of stock, flours and fruits and vegetables for juicing or eating.
The best part is on weekends when they offer fresh tamales and tacos. Tamales are $ 1 for one and tacos are $ 1 for two. They are both fantastic compared to any other Mexican food offered in the area. I’ve stopped eating at La Fiesta and instead just come here on the weekend for my fix.
The service is good, too. If you are confused about something there is usually always someone who is enthusiastic and willing to help you sort it out.

Cool place to shop. As soon as I came in the doors, I was hypnotized by the soft glow of the pastry case, with all those pastel-​colored sweet breads.
There’s a full-​service meat counter and all the meat looked fresh. Not the same cuts you would expect at Meijer, but that’s okay. They have tripe, but I didn’t see any chicken.
Some of the produce looked a little tired, especially the fruit stored in the open. But hardier vegetables like potatoes looked good, and so did the vegetables stored in the cooler.
Lots of Mexican-​made products on the shelves. Jarritos sodas in the cooler.
Dos Hermanos brings a lot of character to the neighborhood.
