The slow fall of Hamtramck’s once-mighty Campau Tower greasy burger joint was sad to witness, but something awesome popped up in its place —a top notch taqueria. The couple behind Dos Locos trades in excellent tacos, quesadillas, and specials like Argentine empanadas. Get here fast. The later the better, as it’s open ‘til 4 a.m.

Sullaf is the last restaurant standing in what once was billed as Detroit’s “Chaldean-town.” Among its best plates is the lamb shank, which arrives one of two ways. In the first, the shank looks like a white club bearing a huge bulb of slide-off-the-bone meat laced with glorious lamb fat. A second version arrives in a bowl with a large shank with super tender pink and red meat. Sullaf submerges it in a volcanic-looking stew with whole cooked tomatoes, onions, oil, and serves it with triangles of pita bread. It's a piquant and lemony dish — the kind that you think about for a week after the meal.
