Alicia's Authentic Mexican Deli - Mmmmmmm - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Best tacos chicken fatitas. Amaizing Wet Burittos to die for. Clean place nice owners.

This was fine. The chicken didn't have a lot of flavor. The tamale had a little flavor and they texture was great. Menu says they have guacamole and cheese dip but they didn't today. Because the tamale was good, I would try this again. read more

See all

Well of course I had to get my fill on Mexican food in Michigan. We came here with a party of 7 and was seated in no time. The lady came and brought chips n salsa out and water plus menus. We all got a variety of stuff here. First the guacamole was as good as I've had very fresh and steady just right. The drinks cam out and was very good. The margaritas were good and strong. We all placed our order and it was a lil bit of a wait but so worth it. The fajitas were excellent cooked to perfection with fresh homemade tortillas. The wet burrito was so big and was loaded with everything you could expect for a burrito. Our waitress was spot on she always made sure we had plenty of drinks and chips n salsa. If I ever get back to the state of Michigan I'll definitely be coming back for some great times and killer Mexican food. read more

The food was awesome; the only bad thing is that I ate too much! The chicken and beef enchiladas were great; even the salsa was great.

I have to say this is one of the nicest establishments I've been to in a long time. Having lived in the area, I've driven by this place countless times over the years. Today I decided to stop in and give it a try, and I am so glad that I did! The staff was super friendly, the place itself was super clean, and the food was amazing. I got a chicken burrito and it was everything you'd want in a homemade burrito. I know they are known for their Wet Burritos so next time I do plan to get that. Again can't stress enough to give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Five stars for Alicia and her staff! We had her cater our daughters graduation open house and we couldn't have been happier. She told us exactly what to expect and how many tables we would need for the buffet. She provided more than enough food. She was on time and very easy to work with. The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests were very happy as well! Thank you Alicia, we will see you again. read more

This place is great. I tried the wet burrito that they feature prominently on their wall. It is gigantic and delicious oozing with delicious beef and creama smothered in the or enchilada sauce and cheese... Did I mention it was bigger than my head?! Delicious and huge! read more

Alicia's Authentic Mexican Deli - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

YUCK YUCK YUCK! It's only getting 1 star because I can't give a negative -1. I went there during the week. I walked in 20 mins before closing and everyone looked at me as if I were crazy. I ordered a wet burrito with chips and salsa. Yuck! First the salsa- It tasted old and bitter. I kept thinking how long has this salsa been sitting out. Second the chips- I think they purposely gave me stale chips. At first I thought it's just one chip. I ate 4 chips all stale. The wet burrito-the chicken was uneventful, the sauce was gross, only 3 shreds of cheese. Just hated the whole meal. Highly disappointed. Will never go back. read more

How do you explain a veggie burrito served with beans and rice that is stuffed primarily with beans and rice? A small amount of lettuce, diced tomatoes and a sprinkle of raw diced green peppers, does not make a bean and rice burrito a veggie burrito, sorry. I get veggie burritos all the time and they are usually very good. You will see grilled vegetables, avocados and lots of delicious cheese but never beans and rice. The mild salsa was watered down and flavorless. The rice was clumpy. Maybe they have better items on the menu but I'm not willing to try again. There is no wonder the place was empty. read more

As authentic as it gets, for Michigan, or Mexico. Alicia is a sweet business owner who makes every thing from scratch, pretty much right in front of you. She was very personable, and has a lot of items to choose from. Every thing I've had so far tasted very fresh and I am dying to know the recipe for her Mexican Wedding cake. Alicia's Authentic is a little known special find, and if you've been unimpressed with the Mexican food selection in Lansing, check her cooking out. read more

About a month ago, I found myself eating some of Alicia's delicious catered food at a gathering. It was TO DIE FOR! It's very unfortunate that she doesn't offer the chicken mole on her normal menu, because it is without a doubt the best that I've ever had. I arrived at the restaurant today at about 2:00 for a late lunch. Besides my girlfriend and myself, the restaurant only had one other person. Unable to order the chicken mole, I decided on the barbacoa dinner, which consists of three good sized tacos, beans and rice. The beef was some of the most flavorful meat I've ever eaten and it was perfectly tender. The beans were outstanding and obviously made from scratch. I only wish that she was open a little later. I just don't have time to get here for dinner before seven. Go try this place, it's fantastic. read more

Come on, Lansing! I'm at Alicia's at 6 pm on Friday and the place is deserted! Granted, there's no beer and she's only open for another hour. They're sweeping up and thinking about the weekend as Alicia's kitchen help makes my special order cheese & onions enchilada. The ambiance is nil. Alicia's may be more serious about catering than selling over the counter. But say, take-out! That's a great idea this time of a Friday evening. And I'm on my lonesome at some of the better Tex-Mex in the area. Not that she makes take-out easy--won't answer the phone; let's the answering machine pick up. Still and all, you could do a better job supporting this place, Lansing. Drop by for lunch or breakfast. read more

We love Alicia's. This is a family favoite place. We all order different items, and they are all fabulous. The care and attention to quality of taste and service is especially high. My favorite: carne guisada. My son's: Barbacoa tacos. read more

Excellent old school Mexican. Had combo enchilada lunch. Also loved the salsa no sour cream but that's a gringo thing

This place is very small and unsanitary to say the least! The owner Alicia has very poor customer service skills. And The food is definitely NOT fresh. read more

I just found out that Alicia's is reopening in September. Near the airport on Grand River in a strip mall across from the Airport Tavern (not too far from Waverly). YUM read more

Absolutely love this place. It's clean, inviting and has great customer service. Oh did I mention the food is absolutely wonderful. Alicia and her staff are friendly and always welcome you with a smile. read more

This place does a FANTASTIC job in catering. Not only did my order arrive exactly on time (to the minute!!), but the delivery driver was super helpful. The food was delicious, and I've never gotten so much positive feedback from attendees before. The portions were also super generous - we had more than enough for the attendees, and plenty to share with the office that hosted us. I had NONE of the problems that I normally have with catered work lunches. Suffice it to say, Alicia's is forever on my list :) read more

The BEST Mexican food I've ever had!! Fresh, great quality food, and very clean. I may have already posted a review, not sure, i thought to because i just posted one for Famous Taco on Saginaw. I went inside there(famous taco) for the first time and was absolutely disgusted! So if u care about cleanliness Alicias is the place to go! And Alicia is a really sweet woman! read more

Tucked away on the edge of town in the corner of a small plaza at a spot that used to house a Blimpie's, this little Mexican restaurant is one of the hidden gems of the area. It is very casual, but clean and comfortable with excellent food. The best Mexican food that I've encountered is usually composed of a few simple elements that combine perfectly and this food fits the bill nicely - rustic, home cooked, simple yet perfectly composed comfort food. The staff is friendly and the place has a nice vibe to it - the kind of place where you feel like it's run by good people that care about the food they are making for you. I still recall when I declined getting salsa with my chips and had to explain, after a bit of surprise and almost disappointment from the woman serving me, that I had a bit of an aversion to cilantro so I would just be taking the chips sans salsa. Well, this was none other than Alicia - the namesake of the restaurant - who was helping me out and it's quite clear from talking with her a bit that she is simply one of the sweetest people you'd ever hope to meet. She certainly confirmed this impression by offering to whip up a fresh batch of cilantro without cilantro just for me! The salsa that she made up for me, like the rest of the food, was great and complented the meal perfectly. The menu is small, but covers the basic range of offerings that you would expect in a Mexican deli. The beans, rice and all of the entrees I have tried have been tasty and thoroughly satisfying in the kind of way that leaves you walking out of the restaurant with the kind of food-comfort glow that we all love. Recommended! read more

Oh this food is delicious! Hands down the best Mexican food in Lansing. My only complaint hey don't give you salsa for the chips. But it is so good : ) The tortilla soup is great, the tacos are awesome, and the guacamole and salsa are spot on. Oh we tried the enchiladas too, that was pretty good and I usually never like burritos or enchiladas, but this was tasty. They get credit for making their food taste authentic, and not like processed crap. read more

Alicia's Authentic Mexican Deli is exactly as the name suggests - delicious food at a great price. Alicia and her staff are very friendly, helpful, and help you figure out what you want to eat and all that is included with it. They make their meals fresh right after you order it, and the portions are almost more than you can handle! Lansing is not know for good Mexican food, but Alicia's is on it's way to changing that mindset. Stop in for dinner or take out lunch for your office - you won't regret it. read more

Alicia is one friendly gal! I ordered the barbacoa dinner (tacos, rice and beans). Best tacos I've had in Lansing. I also enjoyed the hot salsa. I wish they were open on the weekend read more
