I thought I had stewed up my going north Tony's taco stop. Yelp to the rescue! The Yelp app pointed out they had a Tawas location. I got the Macho Taco with beans and rice. WOW!

This Tawas location has a classy log built design that sits in the Tawas park and just off the Tawas Pier. Everyone is welcome and you'll love the food and take out experience.

The server estimated about 3 weeks for the repair. My brother and I enjoyed a flight of other Michigan and National craft beers. My prime rib sandwich was excellent. My brother also said his Galley burger was very good. Low, high, and bar seating. Very clean. Pricey. Excellent service from Maddie. No service or Credit card fee. Nice view of the park and bay.

The smoked brisket tacos were out of this world. Absolutely delicious. The Italian eggrolls were absolutely incredible as well.

We have had this from several Mexican restaurants across the USA. We were excited to see it on the menu. It was disappointing....the only thing really grilled was the jalapeno On the top. The chicken was tiny curly strips...never saw a grill. There was absolutely no flavor. The side was a plate with beans and rice....no lettuce, sour cream or guacamole.

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.

Our server was doing a fairly good job given how busy she was but there was a sense of rushing and hurry. We got one of our orders incorrect and also found hair in it. When we informed the server she said she will remove the item from the bill and hurried away without taking order for the replacement. We were not charged for the returned item but was charged for the replacement so I feel there was nothing really done to try to compensate for their mistake. Food was okay, portion size on the small- medium side, rates are pretty reasonable. The live music and the singer was great which bagged an additional star in the review.

Ate there several times in the food was just awful. But apparently they were bought by the people who owned mangoes about three years ago or so, and decided to give it a whirl for a drink. They've completely remodeled the inside and it's much nicer. The staff was fantastic. They have a really cool draft of your system that delivers your beer really cold with very little head. I've seen the system on TV and it was kind of cool seeing it in person. I'm gonna wait to give it a higher rating when I can try the food sometime. But so far they've done a great job.
