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

“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!“

Out of the 20+ Mexican places I regularly visit in town, this one is hands down the best 👏. Please support this humble family with their God-blessed hands ✋🙏. Thank you for the amazing food 😀! And remember, always be kind and empathetic to others—everyone is fighting their own battles 💛🤝.“

If you’re looking for delicious Mexican cuisine and a place you’ll want to return to again and again, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I have been extremely satisfied with every experience and look forward to coming back. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“My girlfriend and I spontaneously found dinner here after walking down Fulton to another restaurant. We loved the atmosphere especially with the World Cup being played on all the TVs. The tacos were top tier compared to other Mexican restaurants I’ve been to in GR. The salsas provided were more comparable to a sauce. We didn’t have an issue with it but I think it would be nice to have a real salsa in a bowl for others that aren’t used to that. We had a great experience and will be back!“

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

“The food is always good here. I just have one question I'm hoping somebody who works here can answer. I got the 5 tacos for $10.99 deal yesterday and I received what appeared to be the street/mini tacos? Is this the correct sized tacos for that deal? If so, it doesn't make much sense to order since the street/mini tacos are $1.50 each and I can get 5 of those for $7.50 instead of paying $10.99. Just looking for clarification here, thanks.“

“Every time I go in here it’s empty and there aren’t even that many reviews but that’s a shame. The food is always amazing, it’s so cheap, portions are excellent, very authentic, and the inside is very cute and colorful.“

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

“Staff isn't over overly friendly but they ARE busting thier bum and get food out REALLY FAST! And they seem to flow like a well oiled machine. saw some great teamwork that helped orders get made and out fast! It's always busy in there. I wait longer for food at McDonald's Donald's. Food is consistent for as long as I can remember. Maybe 30 years atleast! Taste reminds me of the old old long gone restaurant " Ole' Tacos". The taco meat has an original flavor I've searched & searched for (even in Detroit, Memphis & Orlando) and only found here! ♡♡ I stock up EVERY time I am close to them. Confession,.. when I was pregnant I'd beg my husband to drive the 1 hour drive there to get Tacos for me! lol“

“The birria is awesome. I love it.“

“This is my new favorite restaurant in Grand Rapids. My wife and I were mind blown at how good this food is. My wife had the hardest time figuring out what to get because everything sounded so good. She got a bowl, I ended up with tacos and wings. I went with the spicy, it was the perfect level of spice. Loaded with flavor. You can’t go wrong with this place. Definitely check it out.“

“Love this place. Steak tacos 10/10.“

“I was honestly devastated when Taqueria San Jose closed in Grand Rapids. I have spent the past several years looking for a place that could maybe be as good with no luck. A lot of good places, but none that had what TSJ had. Their nopales tacos are truly the best I have ever had, it’s my favorite style of supreme tacos, the guacamole is perfect, and the people running the restaurant are so kind! I went back for the first day they reopened on Division and it’s everything I remembered, which is tough when you’re up against nostalgia. Best Taco place in Grand Rapids hands down. Wildly excited they are back and ready to resume taking everyone I know here!“

“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.“

“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...“

“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...“
