El Especial is a small, family-run Mexican restaurant at 4513 W Pasadena Ave in Flint, open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 8pm. Regulars go for the tacos (chicken, beef, al pastor, and barbacoa get named in reviews), enchiladas, chimichangas, homemade tamales, and pork rinds, with shell options from soft to hard and taco sauces people take home. The strip-mall exterior hides a clean, colorfully decorated interior, and the restaurant holds a 4.6 rating across 801 reviews. Voted the #1 taco spot in Michigan by the Michigan Small Business Spotlight audience.
