“I've been talking about the Quesabarria for over a year since we first tried them at Upheaval 2023. If I'm being honest this food truck was one of the selling points for my buying tickets again this year!“

“Great place to enjoy good food and good music.“

“I would weigh 700 lbs if I worked here. I have only ever had the spicy pork torta and that's because it is the single best thing I have eaten. Words cannot describe how delicious this sandwich is, from the semi sweet bun to the meat, the avocado, the vegetables. I am so full right now but if they put another in front of me, I would eat it. I absolutely love this torta. I would be tempted to try something else but when you enjoy any 1 single thing as much as I enjoy this, why even explore? Staff is friendly. 100 out of 10 would definitely recommend.“

“Hands down best tacos in all Grand Rapids !! And the staff is always amazing !!“

“Great service. Payed for three orders of cebollitas plus the one that came with the tacos. Got maybe two orders worth and one jalapeño. A little disappointed but still great food. 4.5/5.“

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

“Beautiful family owned business. I had steak burritos and steak tacos. The food was fresh. The meat was seasoned perfectly and with the best texture. I would give the 5/5 stars. I go to many Mexican joints in town. This is the best out of 20 plus restaurants I have visited regularly. Please support this humble family with very God blessed hands ✋️ 🙏. Thank you 😀 and don't forget to be kind and empathetic to one another. You never know what the other person may be dealing with.“

“Ordered flautas and they were so filling, loved the salsa that they bring out to the table the only thing I noticed was that the chips didn't look homemade, they looked store bought. The chips were crisp and tasty but I look forward to a good crispy fresh tortilla chip with salsa when I go to Mexican restaurants. The salsa however was so yummy and just the right amount of spice 😋

I will say that the menu seemed smaller than I'm used to. My husband ordered tacos of different varieties and they looked good and they were well portionrd with meat and double layered with milagro tortillas.

If they have the strawberry horchata be sure to try it, you won't regret it if it tastes anything like their regular horchata. My husband liked the agua de Jamaica he had.

The only reason I gave 4 stars was because they didn't have AC and it was a hot day so with the food I was sweating eating it.“

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

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

“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!“

“The goat tacos are the GOAT. Hit that broth too and you'll never see tacos the same again.

Great service staff was quick to make recommendation and super friendly. 10/10 would order their food truck for a party/gathering too!“

“We stopped by Taqueria Maravatio in Grand Rapids and were seriously impressed! I hadn’t had a torta in a long time, and theirs was absolutely delicious—perfectly made and full of flavor. My wife had tacos and loved them just as much. The salsa really stood out too—fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. The service was excellent, super friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt cozy and authentic. We also tried a couple of their freshly made drinks, and those were fantastic. All around, a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The place is bilingual and friendly Excellent fusion culture anf also delicious food. Yummy“

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

“This place is amazing!! All of the artwork is gorgous. You have to experience it all !! the food is great, I had a taco salad it's definitely enough for two, and taste so good !! Take a look at the chairs, the tables, above the bar not to mention the music. It's an experience from the time you walk in, until you leave. Absolutely a must. However I was told they are moving this restaurant further down alpine and I'm sure it's a better location.“

“Had a romantic pre-anniversary lunch today...perfect timing to not have the lunch crowd. I've enjoyed other Mexican restaurants (in the GR area), but, Little Mexico is it for me! Sorry, enjoyed the moment, did not get pics 😞 BUT, everything, atmosphere, music, service & FOOD...wonderful!!!! Definitely making Little Mexico Bar & Grill my regular go to spot 😀“

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

“They served this at Family Reading night at North Godwin tonight and it was delicious. I had a chicken taco and a pork taco. The meat was full of flavor and they had all the toppings.“

“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!“

“This place showed up on Uber Eats and we tried it. So glad we did! We got the seafood and shrimp fajitas and cheese dip. Was great! Hope to stop by in person soon.“

“My favorite thing on the menu is there GRILL CHESSE BIRRA 10 out of 10 YOU WONT REGRET COMING HERE 🙌🏽❗️“

“My favorite place to get authentic taco's A+++“
