From the Union Joints crew that brought you Vinsetta Garage comes Gran Castor, an atypical Mexican joint in Troy, Michigan. While you’ll find familiar Mexican flavors, the menu is sprinkled with creative twists on classics like Curried Oxtail Tacos and Sweet Pea Guacamole. A wood burning oven churns out festive pizzas with out-of-the-box toppings like chorizo and chopped brisket. Don’t fret, Union Joints aficionados: Union Mac & Cheese appears on the menu as well.

Cocktails like the signature GC Margarita are made from ingredients prepared in-house, a refreshing departure from drinks made using mass-produced mixes. A coffee bar is located within the confines of the restaurant making Gran Castor one of the most unique eateries in the area.

Gran Castor is located at 2950 Rochester Rd, Troy, MI 48083.
