All delicious. Was there about 2 pm on a hot summer weekday. Not crowded, with a few other tables occupado. Some places are skimpy with the amount of meat filling in their tamales but not this place. Much appreciated!

If the MSG might I suggest pouring coffee over the tuff meat instead. But before all the other meals have been great. Unfortunately I have to eat Ala carte because I am unable to a whole meal. However my family can and do. Husband loves the frajitas, Mexican tacos, California Burrito. I have had the tequitos and took 2 and a half home. You also have the option of grilled chicken or shedded. I usually pay the up charge for the grilled. Until recently I have had no complaints.

Look past the shoddy exterior.. and interior... the food is really really good, and the service is as it should be. The booths aren't very comfortable (old, stiff, etc) and the decor could definitely use a refresh, but that's not really why you're here, right? You're here for a large serving of diner food. And that's what you'll get! I wish I could throw money at this place to remodel the interior and get them a nice tall sign to be seen from the freeway, and this place would be very popular. I craved the croissant breakfast sandwich.

Never will I ever go to this place again when I bought a burrito the damn burrito look like the size of a fucking taco for $12 for a fucking burrito they look like a taco talk about a fucking rip off they don't give you no chips and salsa they don't give you fucking anything with Debrito they're basically fucking you the moment you walk in to the door total rip off in the food don't even taste that good And the waitress and the waiter they don't give a shit they don't give a shit if you're standing there waiting for your food but also sorry that they touched my food they serve me my food and then they touch the money no thank you I'll never go there again I don't know how they're surviving in this town when they don't even make their own beans and rice very fake Mexican restaurant, another business in Marshall Michigan who are trying to make $1 million in a small town they don't even have anybody so let's charge $1000 for a taco so they can retire in another year no thank you Nina's Mexican in Battle Creek is the best place for Mexican food plus you got great service there and the prices are cheap and then when you order a burrito look at the size of the burrito and compare to these peoples burrito size you'll be laughing your ass off and it's for half the price chopper read more

The worst Mexican food you could ever count on these people have no idea how to make Mexican food but of course white people when they go in there they don't know what Mexican food is all about these people don't use anything authentic it's all fake Mexican food in the prices is ridiculous. You think you're paying for a four meal gourmet if you want real Mexican food, go to Nina's Taqueria in Battle Creek now they know how to make food. The only thing they don't do right as they make Menudo, but they've kept in the fridge raider for days and you never wanna eat Menudo that's not fresh. read more

I did not see tamales on their menu when I called ahead, but asked and they said they do sell them. I ordered only two, but they gave me three. Not sure if that was a mistake or an extra kindness. Muchas gracias. Wonderful selection of sauces and toppings for your food. Never seen so many at one place. There's even one that's sort of pineapple banana.

My partner wanted a barbacoa burrito, which was not on the menu, but they made it for her anyway with no charge. We did agree that my burrito was better. She fell in love when she saw the salsa bar. They have at least 6 different salsa that you can self serve for your order. An excellent touch if I ever saw one. The food came out quick and hot, they have cool chairs and a generally nice open space to eat in. The service was friendly and prompt. Pretty much all anyone can ask of a restaurant. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone.
