50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Grand Rapids

“Good local food truck with fair prices. I buy burritos from them frequently at the Fulton Street Farmers Market in GR. The meat is seasoned well, I just wish they would add more meat and less rice in their burritos. Half of my burrito was rice. Otherwise great food!“

“para mi todos los guisos son muy ricos ..I really like this place ...100% recomendado“

“Julian’s is a treat! I’ve driven by it thousands of times. Today I stopped to try Julian’s. I was not disappointed. We went to the counter to order and were promptly given a table and table service.

The steak tacos were really good. The steak tastes like steak. The onions were crispy. The rice was so fluffy it could have floated off my plate. The beans were as good.

I had a 1/2 order (three tacos). It was more than enough. I’ll be back.“

“This is hands down the most underrated taqueria in Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas – a true hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. The menu is refreshingly simple, offering a selection of tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and chilaquiles, but it’s all you need. The tortillas are handmade, and the meats are full of flavor, tender, and juicy. Tacos come with the traditional toppings of chopped onions and cilantro, and let me tell you, no taco is complete without its perfect companion – salsa! This place takes salsas seriously, offering a range of bold, flavorful options that pack real spice (and there’s something for every spice preference). Unlike the bland, watered-down salsas you often find elsewhere, these are vibrant, complex, and absolutely delicious. The tacos and quesadillas are outstanding, but don’t miss the chilaquiles – especially with the green salsa. They’re hands down the best I’ve had. They also offer nopales – a cactus commonly used in Mexican cuisine – which makes for a great vegetarian option. It’s clear that a lot of love and passion go into every dish, and you can taste it in every bite. I have a deep appreciation for restaurants that go the extra mile to serve truly authentic food, and this place nails it. On top of the amazing food, the customer service is top-notch. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and more than happy to answer any questions about the menu. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“This is some of the best authentic Mexican food I’ve had since moving to Grand Rapids. The service was really quick and the young lady that served me was incredibly pleasant. I had the taco Tuesday special of three tacos for eight dollars, which was a great deal. The Pastor is unreal, and they cook it with pineapple like the traditional style. I think this is the best Mexican food near me, hands-down!“

“This location is a great addition to Northeast Grand Rapids for authentic Mexican food. While you will find standard American-Mexican favorites, you will also find proteins and dishes rare locally.

Complimentary chips, house made mild salsa, medium salsa and a hot verde salsa, all excellent. Generous portions for our Torta Cubana (with steak, ham, grilled hot dog, chorizo, breaded chicken fillet and egg torta with fixings and Campechanos Quesadilla (steak and chorizo). We look forward to coming back.

“Cyd was the sweetest server I've ever had. Always been given fantastic service at Beltane Bar but Cyd offered something extra that I've never had the pleasure of experiencing anywhere else. She made my birthday dinner with family so much fun and I hope Beltane Bar knows how lucky they are to have her. Thanks again for everything.“
