Little Mexico Tacos

It was a nice spot. Great for when you're looking for room at the bar on an NFL night. Our drinks were good, the bar was spacious, and the food was good overall. The flautas were disappointing especially the amount for the price, overall it was a tad pricey. They don't have a designated bartender even on a Saturday evening so service was slow despite one other person being at the bar where there are quite a few seats available. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside, but still it was very loud and echoey.

I have tried various Mexican food places around Grand Rapids, and the food, even at the bigger higher-end places, never comes close to this little tucked-away corner place. Service is always good. Have been there dozens of times and there has only 1 less than stellar service experience, we all have off days. There are only a few things I didn't like, to me the salsa was runny, but I prefer more of a fresh chunky type. But it has good flavor, just liquidy. I'm not a fan of their red sauce, it tasted like mole' to me, I don't like mole' so if you do, you might like this. I always get carnita st. tacos on corn tortillas, no matter where I go. The corn tortilla is enough to hold it together, the meat is seasoned just right, not too dry, but not sloppy wet either, and the fresh onion and cilantro are the exact amount to make the flavors balance out, so it all blends together for perfection. The margaritas here are just perfection. I get the frozen strawberry with salt, if you don't want the glass that is as big as your head, make sure the staff knows you want a regular glass size. The combination of flavors here is just right as well. The sweetness, tequila, and salt perfectly balanced for an amazing drink. Meals also come with beans and rice, which are good as well, both have good flavor, especially compared to other restaurants in the area which are kinda bland.

I'm not that big into Mexican food but this place changed my mind a bit. Very tasty food. I didn't think there would be so much room. From the outside it looks extremely small but it opens up very nice inside Seemed like the staff was rushing around a bit but nobody was disrespectful or anything. Would've liked to get checked up on a little bit more but that's really nitpicking more than anything. Definetly plan on coming back.

Update: Since this review we come here once a week. The service and food continues to be excellent! First time here and it was very delicious! I had the carnitas and barbacoa with beans, which were perfectly tasty. We also had a bowl mix. The beer was cold and drink was very good. The service was great! Very patient while we figured out what we wanted to order. We will definitely come back! There again for our weekly visit. As usual, great service, excellent food and perfect beverages!
