Tia Juana

This little restaurant is delightful! It’s super casual with clearly marked vegan options. We got vegan tacos, a vegan burrito, salsa, chips, and guacamole. I’ve been living in the area for 6 months and this is my favorite Mexican food option to date. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-20

Wow, they have great tacos especially vegan tacos with their spicy sauce is straight from the heaven.

My husband and I go here at least two times a week! The food is amazing and authentic. I’ve had the fish taco, chicken taco, asada taco, San Diego burrito, and have loved everything I’ve tried!

My husband and I took our 7 year old grandson to Tia Juana restaurant - he wanted Mexican food. We looked up reviews in the Grand Rapids area and decided on Tia Juana. It's a diner style restaurant where you order at the counter. You can sit at a table or at the raised counter with swivel stools where you can watch some of the food prep. The owner took our order and served us. He has a child around our grandson's age. He talked with all of us for a bit about our upcoming Christmas while we ate. Small world - he had worked in the Benton Harbor - St. Joseph area where we came up from. The food was excellent and used all fresh ingredients. Service was timely and friendly. He answered our questions about certain foods before we ordered. The facility was spotless and brightly colored. Windows surround the entire restaurant. Although we weren't necessarily looking for a diner style restaurant, we found a jewel of a diner. We'll definitely be going back! The grandson said so!

Kid-friendliness: It's fun for kids especially sitting at the counter. Kids are treated very well and included in conversations.

Randomly found this place and it was a hidden gem!

Food and service were 10/10. The asada fries and queso birria taco were my favorites of what I ordered.

Will definitely be back when I’m in area and will be recommending to everyone I know.

Tacos are amazing here - homemade corn tortillas, the Quesabirria is insanely good too. Horchata is a must try. This is hands down some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had!

While I haven't dined in, I've ordered delivery several times, and it's been amazing 😍 the asada is absolutely delicious and the handmade tortillas just take em to the next level. Much better than any of the other tacos I've tried around the area (outside of GR).
