Not like, gonna destroy your taste buds spicy, but that kind of actual flavor combined with heat. I've had all of their meats and they're ALL good. Also, we've been in twice during the pandemic and their hand sanitizer is never empty, tables are always clean, staff are always wearing masks. We live on the other side of town now and make a point to come over here because it's good and I like supporting local, family-owned businesses.

You're always seated promptly and they will bring complimentary chips and salsa. The bar has a lot of options and this spot is known for the soft serve margarita (I got pomegranate) and the lunch combo (pick two) which comes with beans and rice. Honestly everything is really great and they have some items that you don't always find on other Mexican restaurant menus (unless they're huge and authentic). I'd love to come back for brunch and try the huevos rancheros or chilaquiles. Everything always looks so good so I can only imagine how the others options will be. They are very quick during lunch, especially during the week! You don't have to worry about lingering for 1.5+ hours, as my friend and I have been in and out within 45 minutes and felt like it was plenty of time.

Food prices were more than fair for the quality. The last time was just today (mid-August, 2019), since our previous two visits they changed to a order at a counter style and jacked their prices horribly!! They no longer give a fair amount of chips and salsa, the food options have changed, and the food quality is terrible. Much of the food tasted almost soapy with a plastic after-taste. For standale, I was so hopeful that this would be our new go-to since Stan Diego is not great, and at first this place had a lots of potential. Unfortunately now, Taco Loco is dead to me. We won't be back.

They also bring out two sauces with the salsa as well which I confirmed do not contain dairy either. overall it's a good meal.

When I was a wee boy, I tasted the best taco in the world in a small village in Yucatán, Mexico…read more For years after, I have embarked on a journey across Grand Rapids in search of this taco. Countless dollars have been spent, shirts have been spilled on, and symptoms of spicy food have ensued, if you know what I mean. And yet, despite all of this, my taco perfecto had eluded me. I had all but given up until I moved to the West Side of GR and stumbled upon what could quite possibly be considered the Holy Grail of Grand Rapids Mexican food: a small, unassuming red shack on the corner of Bridge St. I'll just get down to the brass tacks. Any taco buff knows that a taco joint can be judged on one thing and one thing only: their Al Pastor. And by god, Cuñado delivers. On top of that, the Chorizo is cherishable. The steak is stellar. The chicken is, well, chicken, but it's damn good. And the salsa is just shy of perfect: it's fragrant, fresh and feisty, and pairs perfectly with any and every menu item (except the horchata, for obvious reasons). The sautéed onions provide sweet, crunchy and umami layers, and for the bold, a sauteéd Jalapeño to top it all off. All of this is housed between a generously griddled double tortilla, which bears the burden of it's toppings like an absolute champ. The value of this place is truly off the charts. I went (begrudgingly) to Donkey Taqueria the other day and paid $12 for two flimsy fake tacos. TWELVE DOLLARS for two raw tortillas with a smidge of crock pot meat in between. Meanwhile, I pay $8 for three hefty, hearty boys made with cariño down on Bridge Street, and they knock my socks off every time. The folks running this place are absolute gems as well. When you walk in, it kind of feels like you're at your abuela's house and she's pulling out all the stocks to absolutely stuff you to the brim. Although they probably see a thousand people a day, the Cuñado Bridge crew never hesitates to make my day that much better. In my opinion, Tacos El Cuñado Bridge St. humbly boasts the best tacos in town. And if you don't believe me, it'll only cost you $8 (on Tuesdays) to see for yourself.

Taco Tuesday at Poncho's Tacos was so good! I'd never been before as it's a bit far from my house,…read morebut it was totally worth the drive. It's cash only, but they do have an ATM inside. The menu consists of your typical items like tacos, burritos, Panchos (nachos), tortas, and more. They also have a lunch special and a daily deal (3 tacos, rice, and beans for $12.50 but no mix and match proteins). Since it was taco tuesday, tacos were $2.50. Nate got three tacos (al pastor, asada, and tinga) and I got a wet burrito with asada. We also ordered a horchata to share and chips and salsa. They have some dine in space but were doing a lot of takeout orders while we were there. Our chips and salsa came out first and the rest of our food shortly after that. The tacos came without toppings since you can load them up with their salsa/toppings bar. The tacos were super stuffed with meat! The burrito was massive - we shared it and still had leftovers for the next day. I tried each of the tacos and they were all delicious. The meats were not dry and again the portions were generous. I really liked the burrito as it was full of meat, cheese, beans, rice, guacamole, lettuce... it had it all. I wish the fillings were mixed up a bit more but it was so tasty. Service was great - we were asked how our meal was and they cleared our table when we were done. I'm really glad we finally made it to Poncho's Tacos and will definitely keep them on my Taco Tuesday list for the future!

His former favorite taco place, El Cunado, are skimpy on filling and he didn't care for their pastor (his fav). At Panchos he is in HEAVEN! He LOVES the Al pastor tacos here and on taco Tuesday they are $2.50 each. We both also really like the Asada. I also got a small rice, but prob wouldn't order again. It was $2.50 for maybe 3/4 of a cup. The online pics show a bigger box, but that wasn't the serving I received. It is cash only so be prepared. If in a pinch, there is an atm onsite!
