    Very tasty tacos with great selection of gourmet combinations. Appreciate vegetarian taco options--& such great flavor combos. Very reasonable prices. Homemade chips and salsa (available to take out, also). Chef lives in Mexico City and his menu comes from or is inspired by what is served there. Very nice guy. Tacos are prepared as you order. Modern decor. Great to have another option on this side of the lake.

    A few of the tacos we tried!

    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

    Amazing. Incredible. You might think Maxons is a little out of the way, and it is. But the big city…read morehas got nothing on this place when it comes to unique flavor! It's hard to describe the way they've carved out an entirely new BBQ flavor. I had the BBQ tacos with pulled pork, which was dynamic. The parfait is certainly a unique way to deliver the whole experience in a single convenient dish. Beans in the bottom, pulled pork, with coleslaw on top. Certainly the different types of slaw influenced the overall flavor but I think it was also the way the cabbage in the slaw was rough cut instead of shredded. Siracha and Dijon were in the driver's seat with one of the slaws I tried. The staff was super friendly. Although the restaurant is a humble place it was jammed when we were there. If I lived in the area I'd probably show up once a week too! Maxons clearly captured the rural area's attention and some folks from town were there too. What a great experience. From the moment see left our vehicle we could smell the fire and the smoking meat. Wonderful! Give Maxons a try!
