Comfort Food Plus Plus…read more - - - - - - - - August, 2026 Visit We went on a road trip, from Missouri to Michigan, for a family event, and on Friday night we joined countless others in attending the outdoors concert in downtown Midland, MI. Our daughter and I returned to the car for a phone battery and saw Proper Taco and immediately went inside. Proper taco looks to be able to support, seemingly, any dietary concern... if it isn't already noted on their menu, I recommend just asking about your needs. There are almost too many tasty items on the menu; after a few minutes, she ordered tacos and I ordered Merv nachos for my wonderful wife and me. While we waited we laughed at the many magnets and other items with humorous quotes on them. We enjoyed this great food back in our seats, at the concert. I can speak to the fact that the Merv tacos are quite nice - great chips with so many flavors on top. Fantastic staff. Fantastic food, leading to my Plus Plus (++) award! Thank you, Proper Taco! We look to return on our next visit.

Place was crowded, small and I was ignored for 20 minutes while they stared right in my face and didn't help. Had a to go order that was soggy and cold by the time I got to eat it. Didn't even get a "spicy" taco and it looked like a diaper and was inedible because of the spice level. Worst tacos ive ever had -sincerely someone of culture who can handle their spice

While visiting Michigan, I stopped into Gilley's and ordered a custom breakfast plate because I'm on a special diet. It was so good that I came back twice. I've jokingly started calling it the "El San Diego" breakfast plate. The pork was flavorful, the food was fresh, and everything was cooked perfectly. What really stood out was the service. On my return visit, the owner remembered my order and personally whipped up the same El San Diego breakfast plate for me again. It was just as incredible the second time. Friendly staff, great food, great ambiance, and genuine 5 star hospitality. As a Southern California Mexican food snob, I can honestly say Gilley's exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back a third time before I leave.

Great food and service!…read more We were seated right upon arrival, many seating options available for large families. We were promptly served chips and salsa, then ordered our apps and meals - the cheese dip, guacamole and salsa were fantastic and came out quickly. The meals were quick and hot - the street tacos were a great meal option, the California burrito was HUGE and delicious. The kids got the Tropical Shrimp Salad and it was perfect. Great service overall.

I heard great things about this place. I think they have great potential to. I had the fish tacos…read morebased on the owners recommendation. They were good, not great. There was a little bit of burnt flavor to them. Not sure if it was the fish, or the tortilla. Another thing is they need some kind of sauce or freshness. They were also a bit dry. I was also disappointed that they were out of flank steak as I heard it was one of their house specialties. I also got a carnitas sope. It was really good and I can see why people are talking about this place. The pork was well cooked and flavorful. The sope itself was just like you would expect. Denser than a taco or a tostada shell. The chips and salsa were different and good. I'll come back again next time I'm in Midland and give them another shot. Lots of potential.

Went here on a Wednesday after work around 3 pm and place was nice but I wasn't the biggest fan of…read morethe food. Couple things. Food took 16 min after I ordered which is fine for a restaurant but not for tacos. I got the chicken apple taco and the pulled pork taco. The chicken apple taco was fine, I wish the apples brought more flavor instead of just the texture. Now the pulled pork bbq taco I was looking forward to since I really like bbq pulled pork. The pulled pork taco didn't have much pulled pork and was mostly sauce, the avocado cream was way overpowering and abundant where sometimes you would just get a bite of avocado, and the bbq sauce was barely there, wish there was more I could add myself on the table. Overall I was disappointed but I guess I didn't try all the options.

The first day I went there for lunch and took my husband later for dinner. I went on a Thursday and their special was fajitas. I ordered one and had several condiments added taco style. I also had rice and beans added on the side. For dinner my husband had 2 steak burritos, and I had the same. As a dessert I had this incredible cherry, cinnamon and sugar puffy fried thing which I can't remember the name of, but it was delish. On Friday I ordered a chicken burrito (which was big) with cheese, lettuce etc. added. The choice of meats were shredded chicken shredded pork or beef. I also bought 2 containers of huge blueberry muffins. There were 2 in each container. On Friday they offered blueberry, but sometimes they have apple and one other variety but I don't remember what that was. The muffins were better than I have ever had, but very rich. Saturday I ordered a chimichanga which was deep fried and so big I could not eat it all and had the rest for dinner. Every day they were so busy, 5 or 6 people were in front of me. Saturday the wait time was a little longer because everyone was ordering chimichangas, which took a little longer to prepare. I suggest calling your order in and you can get right in and pick it up. It seems a lot of people ordered that way. Especially at lunch time. on Thursday and Friday. Everything I ordered was fresh made and very good. I highly Reccommend this gem of a place, you won't be disappointed.
