“Came around 1am on a Saturday night (of course going to be busy) when we went in to order the food it was a great atmosphere and great service but when we went back in to get the food the customers were being very rude and treating the staff poorly and I believe one of them started crying…shameful behavior for grown adults but the biggest shout out to the staff for holding it together the food is amazing and our order was correct and packed with everything we needed (sauces and utensils) so sorry you guys have to go through that keep the good work going I definitely will be returning !“

“Had a chicken quesadilla, it was delicious!!!! Person at the window was very friendly.“

“Some of the best steak tacos I’ve had in GR! The tortillas are freshly made hold up well ! The asada is cooked/seasoned to perfection with charred pieces of meat and flavor. Shrimp taco could’ve used a tad bit more flavor compared to the Asada but still cooked to perfection with some char to them. Also I prefer my shrimp chopped up so having a few whole shrimps was okay but would prefer chopped. Overall 9.5/10! On the food! Love love love! Started eating before I could snap a picture 😭“

“Found my new favorite spot! I dined in and had the queso birria tacos, a sope, and a gordita everything was incredibly flavorful and fresh. There was a bit of a wait since they were busy, but one bite and I totally understood why. The service was excellent! My server was so attentive and friendly. I also ordered a steak torta to go, and even though there was a small mix up with the order, they handled it like pros, remaking the steak torta and letting me keep both! Honestly, the prices and quality here blow the neighboring spots out of the water. High quality, great value, and even better people. I will definitely be back. Make sure you take the time to try this spot. You will not be disappointed!“

“Excelente Sabor , excelente servicio.“

“Great service and great food been going there since they opened and always great food“

“Stopped in today and it was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and the food was amazing. We will be back!“

“Great food cool old building Good price Try it you’ll love it“

“Picked up Tacos here yesterday. We tried chicken, pork and ground beef. All were good, the pork and chicken in particular were very good. We also tried quesadillas. We waited perhaps 15 minutes and our food was ready to go. Great service. Definitely a repeat. Prices were very fair.“

“best margarita around!! Food is outstanding. Friendly staff.“

“The food is always great. The service is always great. would highly recommend.“

“Stopped in today as I saw a sign on 28th street advertising a $12.99 lunch buffet and was warmly greeted upon entering. The food was of great quality and even had BBQ chicken and ribs in addition to enchiladas, salmon, veggies, build your own tacos, fresh fruit, salad, cookies, and a few more items. The buffet currently runs Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30AM to 4:00PM, and unlike other restaurants, they do not up-charge on Saturdays, which is great. Such a good value! Will definitely be back again soon!“

“Mouth watering food 🤤🤤 Margaritas 👌🏻 Great service & atmosphere! I was very impressed! 10 out of 10 recommend.“

“Everything we had was GOOD! my enchiladas were potatoes and they were 🤤🤌🏼 the side of beans tasted so fresh and perfect 👌🏼. The rice I'm not sure what seasoning they used but it was a little over powering but other than that my meal was amazing! My son had beef jerky torta and he said that was the best torta he'd ever had. We definitely will be coming back.
I actually came back and the server remembered me and my kid's from our 1st visit and asked how they were doing which was a very welcoming on a personal level if that makes sense, instead of just a hi your total is... and hands you your order like your just income to them.
My 2nd time we tried a wet burrito and the size was big enough for 2 people to share I think, well for me and my daughter. The sauce was a little on the spicy side for me but that's because I don't like any spice so any amount is spicy for me. The taste is different from any other kind of wet burrito sauce I've had it's like a cream kind.“

“This place has great customer service rather dine in it sit in. The food is amazing.“

“I like the food here. I have eaten here 5 times in 2024. Too bad they are only open on Weekends.“

“The birria is awesome. I love it.“

“Love this place. Steak tacos 10/10.“

“The Burrito I had was like eating at home. my wife is Mexican and a great cook. This food was the best we've had away from home. You really should give it a go...“

“So I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito yesterday with bacon, avocado, cheese, and sour cream. And I've gotta say that was like the absolute best breakfast burrito I've eaten in grand rapids! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful too!“

“I had their Spicy Mexican Shrimp Cocktail at the festival & the sauce/liquid the shrimp was in was the best combo of flavors I’ve ever had. Not a thing could be changed to improve it- it’s absolutely perfect!“

“I ordered the Barbacoa Gordita plate and menudo. I always get great food and great service. Drive from Holland just for the food!! Las tortillas, nombre... muchisimas gracias...“

“A place our kids can come with us, fastest service ever, and food is delish! Absolutely recommend!“

“Excellent service and delicious food.“
