This may be too Salty for ppl with high blood pressure. However, the food was delicious.........

Such a wonderful family run business! Friendly staff as well as a little dining area for a Dine-In option. Not to mention it's the BEST Mexican food that I've ever had. Prices were fair and the wait time was very short. You can call orders in or they also have an ordering option at the counter. Vast menu. Will be returning! read more

Excellent food friendly staff and a clean environment. I had tacos and Boruto's and it was absolutely amazing...

Me and my family been going there for many years we love they chicken and turkey tacos wow and the chicken enchiladas are amazing. My daughter loved the wet burrito. Deluxe has everything in there. The servant is amazing. They're very nice and polite. No attitude on ordering. read more

My all time favorite authentic family owned taco restaurant!!! Every time I go home to Flint to visit and I eat there!! read more

Favorite and best tacos on the planet! My favorite spot when I visit home! Beef EnchiladasBeef Tacos

Went for the pizza, got a few other items. One item was a little high for as little as I received, but all the items were WONDERFUL. I went at 3pm, there were 16 people in line, inside. The phone never stopped ringing with call-in orders. Speaks to how great the food is, and the people were nice too! As to others who say this isn't authentic - they only know Taco Bell, and not the real thing. I grew up in a neighborhood mostly Mexican in the 60's, and every house I had the pleasure of eating in served 85% of what this place does. read more

in the last week I have been all over the United States of America I have never seen Brown gravy on beef and cheese Ancelotti's But you'll be able to find them in plant Michigan and the hood 5th street.That is not authentic Mexican cuisine. It depends on who you're serving it to I guess.Is just unfortunate I had to put a star there to make my comment. I'm going to white castles or Burger King That way I know what I'm getting There won't be no gravy on a hamburger. But about 60 miles from here is a place called Mexican town in the Detroit downtown area try Amando if you truly want Mexican authentic cuisine. You'll see Mexican people in their preparing it Give you would like true Mexican cuisine check the link out below they even have a real menu http://armandosmexicantown.com/ Chinese people make the best Chinese food Mexican prepare some of the best Mexican food But when you haven't been anywhere how would you know that http://armandosmexicantown.com/ read more

La Familia Morales - Don't do it you'll be disappointed - Mexican Near Me - Flint, Michigan

This is everything you would expect, and want, from a local Mexican restaurant. Its good and basic. The people knocking it are expecting it to be something it's not or have some other axe to grind, they are not based in reality though. The serving sizes are very generous and the staff is attentive. I orderer my kids chicken strips with fries and I have to say this place has the art of deep frying down! Exceptional taste. My wife and I both enjoyed our meals. We would very happily eat here again. The place was busy but never over crowded the whole time we were there. read more

La Familia Morales - La Familia Morales on a Thursday night at 7 - Mexican Near Me - Flint, Michigan

See all

I'll pass on this Mexican eatery, thank you. There is really not much authentic about the food here. It's neither particularly good, nor especially traditional Mexican fare. It's just pretty blah. I've eaten here a few times and my opinion of the place hasn't really changed all that much over the years. The food is derivative, completely lacking in originality or imagination. Super greasy Tex Mex food covered in cheap, gooey cheese with oil cascading all over the place is not up to snuff. Sorry, that doesn't cut it. Mexican/Tex Mex cuisine is supposed to be teeming with heat, seasoning, etc, but the flavor profile here really seems just a bit dull. I had the fish tacos once. They were pretty meh, the fish wasn't especially flavorful and I don't believe it was totally fresh. The fish tasted "flash frozen" to me. I was not particularly impressed. The rice was sticky and kind of dry, with not enough seasoning, but the portion size was plentiful. The chips tasted like they were freshly made, though the salsa was flat, very bland and tasted like it came from a jar. My husband makes better salsa than that at home. Again, it was okay, but if I wanted something that tasted like it came out of a jar from the grocery store, then I'd get some chips and salsa at Sam's Club and eat it at home. Seriously, why bother? I've ordered the nachos without beef and they put beef on them, anyway, so they had to remake them. I got an eye roll from a worker for that. They make a decent Guacamole, so I'll give them credit for that. The menu could use a bit of diversification. I know people have their favorites and old standbys, but there aren't enough good vegetarian dishes on the menu. Not everyone wants a beef taco. Sorry, but it's just not legit Mexican or even passable Tex Mex. Literally, every dish needs more seasoning, more spice, more heat. It's just bland and boring and what could be worse for Tex Mex food to be than bland and boring? I do realize this place has been around forever and is a neighborhood staple of sorts, but I just don't get it. Yes, the price is cheap, but the quality just really isn't there. I don't see the attraction. To me, it just doesn't rate. The people who work here seem friendly, but the place could be cleaner and the food is just bland. Sometimes, the service is slow and other occasions, you're in and out the door in nothing flat. There just isn't a lot of consistency in either food quality or service. read more

Horrible location, horrible service and the food is so greasy! You cant sit down and enjoy dinner here cause the rowdy take out traffic fills up the place. The workers are a little rude too. read more

NUMBER ONE TACO SPOT ALWAYS. Ugh, I wish they still made medium hard taco shells, (absolutely the B E S T). Uncle always did for me.

The service is great but the food is mediocre. I would have been better off getting fast food or finding real authentic Mexican cuisine to dine in. And let's not start on the portions. SMH Go grocery shopping people! read more

La Familia Morales - Stew meat wet burrito - Mexican Near Me - Flint, Michigan

I ordered a pretty decent size catering order. When I walked in, at 7:30pm, the place was hopping! A small place, but you could tell, from the line and the phone ringing off the hook, that this place has a LOYAL following. My food was fresh and hot. And it was delish! Staff knew all the customers by name, and by their order. Great hole in the wall taco place, with awesome food, friendly staff!! read more

A go-to spot every time I come home. Yes it's a "dive" but you cannot get Mexican this good anywhere else in the country. The tacos and enchiladas are YUMMY. read more

I just went here for the first time and loved it. The server was very attentive and friendly, while the tacos and burritos were very good. I loved the queso and guacamole as well. With COVID restrictions, I recommend getting take out as there are only a few seats available in the restaurant. read more

That I find myself looking forward to going to Flint is almost 100% because of the tacos at this unique place. Authentic? Sort of. Delicious? Yes. Everyone orders the tacos medium which means the corn tortilla shell has spent some extra time in the fryer = puffy. With cheese 1.00 each for beef, 1.30 for chicken. It is a hybrid of Mexican and Michigan, and it works for me. Vegetarians will find the version with frijoles instead of meat to be equally satisfactory. Maybe this would be 3 stars somewhere else, in fact I know it would be. But in the relative absence of food options that is Flint, La Familia Morales stands out. Oh, and it is adored by locals for dine-in and carryout so it can be busy at lunch. I have always been able to find a table though. Great deals on lots of tacos to go (12 for 10.50 with cheese etc.) The hot sauce is their own and I find myself loading up everything I can with it. The one time I tried something other than tacos I had a mexican plate and it was all really tasty. read more

The Tuesday tacos are the bomb diggity! Live their Queso dip! The waitstaff is very nice

I know people in the Flint area love this place but I've eaten here 2 times and haven't been truly impressed. The food is just blah. Not bad but blah. Just sort of flat. I ordered queso for my chips and it was basically the nacho cheese you heat at Speedway Gas Station. Flavorless. The fried flour shells were great though but the meat needed more seasoning. I know it can be hard with so many to please and this place DOES stay jam packed so perhaps it's just my tastes but it's just meh.....for me. read more

This is a family owned restaurant that is so good, if you run into someone from Flint and mention it, they will drool right in front of you. It happened today at work, actually, and it made me want to drive all the way over there for some La Familia's lovin'. I'm a hot sauce fiend, and the hot sauce here is excellent. Partner that with something as simple and delicious as their tacos with cheese, and you're all set. That's it. That's all you need to eat to be satisfied. This place is not a "miss" at all, and the fact that it is in Flint only enhances its greatness. People call this place a hole-in-the-wall, and I know the best food places are usually holes-in-the-wall, but I think it deserves something grander than that because they are such great business owners and chefs! read more

Always stop to get these when I'm in town. They're cheap, they're solid, and convenient. Can I make better tacos at home? Absolutely (my husband agrees) but I always have to get these when I'm in town and it sure beats Taco Bell. read more

This place is delicious. Whether the food is "authentic" Mexican or not is totally missing the point. If you are looking for a quick, inexpensive, greasy, cheesy plate of tacos, enchiladas, or wet burritos, La Familia is your place. The medium shell tacos with cheese are my favorite. La Familia isn't in the best neighborhood in town, nor will the dining room win any awards for decor, but the food is fantastic and the staff is always very friendly. read more

Ordered 30 taco tray. Told us to they will be ready at 12:55pm. We got there at 12:45. Told us to sit and wait for order which was fine. We saw a tray come out at 12:55pm. Not once did they say anything. At 1:07 my father had to get back in line to wait to get back to cashier. It was about 10-12 minute wait. Turns out that it was our tray but now the tacos are cold and soggy. They had no response still tried to sell and serve us the tacos. I understand being busy but at least take responsibility for your mistake, don't just try to act like nothing is wrong. read more

The best I've found near downtown Flint. Great service and the food is always both fast and delicious. The only reason I don't rate them 4 Stars is the menu is frankly a bit limited. read more

I have only had one lunch here, with one other person, but would like to try it again. Expect booths to sit in and a walk-up counter for take-out. --Pros-- Chicken was tender, rice was cooked fluffy (just-right for me), and the beans made a good combination. Staff was friendly and also quick with service. --Cons-- Chicken was way too salty, which I think this is common for the region of the country it is in. I am planning on witholding the salt next time so that I can taste the actual flavors. They only have certain types of meat on certain days of the week! (I have never heard of this before). read more

The fish tacos are delicious! The beef is steaming, hot and flavorful. I love the choice of soft, medium, and hard shell tacos. read more

OK I'm a taco guy they had it priced right for what we received if only the taco had fillings very light lettuce light cheese light hamburger almost zero but all for all what does one expect for a 1.49 other than serving size was under sized keep up the hard work. read more

1. This is spectacular hidden Jem. About 15 tables and a long take out line 2. Parking is free and right out the door. 3. Ambience. Mexican,Docs,jocks,electrician,and All sorts of grandmas wit kids. Long line of take out. 4. Tacos. Can only speak obout the medium shell This is a fluffy taco and can be ordered by the dozen. Best eaten with beef but they specialize In fish. 5. Enchiladas. Spectacular. Perfect cheese to chicken ratio. Sauce also spectacular. 6. Service. 1 waitress and 1 busser for a lot of Peeps. But they got the job done. Like a said a real find. Food was hot and great. Rice and bean tacos and enchiladas all the best. Next time I will go with a friend and order a dozen. read more

My very favorite Mexican in the flint area and suburbs. Medium tacos and Chimis are the bomb! Get da BEEF. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, please do not go here. I weep for the people who go here and think that this is what Mexican food should taste like. Everything tasted like it was fresh out of a can, nothing seemed fresh-made at all. I could go on, but personally I would prefer to forget the entire experience, except to warn people about this place. It is truly the most disgusting food I have ever had the displeasure to eat. read more

Not bad at all. Overall the food has been pretty good, but call ahead first for takeout. You might have to wait a few minutes.

This place is a disappointment. The food was bland, the chicken wasn't fresh,the lettuce wasn't even green, and the tomato sauce tasted like it was canned. To get the best Mexican food in Flint go to La Azteca Taco House on Court St. Avoid this place! read more

I don't live in michigan any longer but usually when I come home I hit up this spot or their competitors which I will not list. The service is quick but quality. You can seem them cooking your meals over tye counter. I only come for tacos but I love them. If you want authenticity, you must come here. The only issue I had today was that my tacos were under filled. read more

Ordered the 2 beef enchiladas beans and rice lunch special. Was uneventful. Plain ground beef in a flour tortillas smothered with cheese. Could you at least season the ground beef? Good thing they supplied the hot sauce. Blah! At least the to go service was fast. read more

My first 1 star. I'm not sure but I think I got food poisoning from here yesterday. I had the chicken enchilada's with rice and beans. I only ate about half of what was on the plate because it really didn't taste very good, that was about 6pm. I felt fine until bedtime. But the next morning I was sick with a headache and you know what else... On top of that the customers there were offensive. Im not trying to be racist but the customers here are definitely racist! We were very aware that we were not welcome there...not by the staff but by the customers. When we left my wife said "I thought they were gonna steal your shoes." Im not kidding. Avoid at all costs. read more
