Authentic and delicious. Get the carne tacos with onions and cilantro (Mexican style), and the tres leches cake is so yummy, moist and always worth it. Sitting in is great, and so is takeout. Folks are kind and easily bilingual. 100% definitely recommend the alpine location ;) read more

Very slow service. 25 minutes wait for tacos and they got the order wrong. Below average food. Avoid this place.

Me and my wife were craving Mexican food so after a mere minutes thought we both decided on here. I can just say with confidence, we didn't not make a mistake choosing to get lunch here. We got our orders to go but the staff was super friendly and made sure we had lots of salsa, tortillas and onions which was greatly appreciated. My wife got the #19 quesadilla meal and she said it was absolutely delicious, I got the chimichanga and it was so good it never even stood a chance. All this to say this is a quality family owned destination and always delivers delicious food whether you sit down or take out. read more

service was very quick and our food was outstanding. You can tell that the food is authentic and made to order. also the inside is very cozy for the restaurant read more

The food was great and very reasonably priced. The service was kind and efficient. I would go again.

This is the new location on north alpine basically in the homedepot parking lot. I liked it. Nothing special, no frills, just decent Mexican food at a decent price. Our server was nice, fairly quick and spoke both English and Spanish which is always a plus. The downside to this place is they don't serve alcohol. I know for most it's not a big deal But if I'm having Mexican food, I want a margarita or some tequila to sip. Other than that not bad. I terrified that they serve breakfast and I'll definitely be back to try it. read more

Tacos el Cuñado - Wet burrito, queso dip and tacos. Not bad at all. Little bland, but not bad. - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Tortilla was soggy meat had no seasoning taste what so ever. Horchata taste more like big red than it did sweet.

This chain has always been a favorite of mine. They make authentic tasting Mexican food that hits the spot. I recently tried the new location on Alpine. Service was quick for my pickup order and they followed covid precautions. Highly recommend the chicken or steak tacos! read more

Personally, the salsa was nasty to me. Both for the chips and taco salsa, the chips in general however were good and hot. Taco meat was okay, but the rice and beans were pretty good. read more

See all

This establishment is always solid, but the food is never out of this world. It is tasty, however!

One of my co-workers suggested to try here based on his experiences at other Tacos el Cuñado locations, so a band of us ordered takeout from this new mexican restaurant on Alpine Avenue - just at the corner of 3 mile (where the old Pizza Hut used to be). As expected, the place is clean, shiny and new, since they have not been open even a week at this point, and while I'm pretty much cautious about new mexican food - I went with my regular "can't screw up tacos and quesadillas" choices - and was sorely disappointed. The quesadilla tasted like someone had brushed it gently with a flavor, but it wasn't the chicken nor the cheese that made me think there was something to taste there. But the taco was severely disappointing, and the chicken (hey, I like chicken!) was flavorless as well. I was not the only ones disappointed here - my other two co-workers both rated this a "disappointment" and a "5 out of 10". Maybe in a month or so I can try it again, but first-week food quality was sub-par. It was hot, and fresh, but I feel like all I did was ingest calories, not eat some tasty mexican food. read more

Tacos el Cuñado - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I came in to pick up an UberEats pick up. The lady in the register who was blonde and a bit older, was on her phone and although I tried to get her attention multiple times she ignored me. Her coworker then had to also repeat to her twice that I was trying to get her attention. She continued to dance and act oblivious before attending me. The order had already been ready and just needed to picked up. What I found crazy is she seemed to only disregard me as she attend the customer behind me right away. read more

We stopped here 30 min ago (9/6/20 at 12:50pm). Never ate here, service was so horrible! After waiting 30 min for someone to take our order we left. There was a table of 8 that walked in after us and were receiving their food when we decided it was time to leave. The only person interested in us, was the bus boy. I could see him looking at us & then saying something to the girls. Needless to say, I was pretty upset that we waited 30 min for someone to take our order and a bigger group came in after us and was recovering their food while we still had not had our order even taken. read more

Salsa not tasty Tired, indifferent staff Just now learned why US Department of Labor won lawsuit to get workers there paid for their overtime read more

Tacos el Cuñado - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

A quaint little hidden gem! No frills decor but the food is exceptionally authentic and delicious. After living 12 years in Texas it is hard to find decent Mexican food. This checked that box. Service is quick and a great selection to choose from. read more

Quite pricey for food that is sub-par. I ordered one steak taco and a side of guacamole and a salad. This amounted to what tasted like ground beef, some shredded wilting lettuce and chopped tomatoes, and a couple tablespoons of guac. The price? $15.00. Buyer beware... read more

Real tacos!!! One of the only places on the north side to get them. I stopped in at the tail end of a lunch hour and it was packed, I got the only open table but service was quick and friendly. I loved my tacos and enchiladas. Nice to have a great Tex-Mex place out this way. read more

Have been looking foreword to the opening. This is not Taco Bell ! Fresh authentic Mexican. Delicioso. My wife had the special - beef stew. I had tacos al pastor, beans and rice. Enough food for four , good and reasonable. Great and friendly servers. read more

Their steak tacos are dreamy! Simple but full of flavor! Traditionally they are only steak, onions and cilantro but I add avocado (they give large slices, no avocado skimping here) and their red salsa. They are so so good! My kids have gotten their wet burritos and have loved them! Service is friendly and fast but they do get busy at lunch time so don't think you gonna be in and out in 5. read more

Best local authentic taco restaurant. Loving the holiday special: Tacos de Arrachera. 10/10 would go every day. Love love love.

It's consistently good legit Mexican food. Customer service is top notch also. I ordered tacos and asked they come "disassembled" to take them on a picnic, they did it no questions, no problems. Everything in separate containers and it turned out great. read more

Best in the area for steak Tacos or Steak a la Mexicana. There are many Tacos el Cunado around Grand Rapids but the Alpine location is the best. read more

This was so good. The tortillas don't seem to be homemade, but they lightly warm them up in oil. Hit the spot every time.

Great spot for lunch! Service was friendly and fast and the tacos were superb! The food came out fresh/warm and had the authentic Mexican taco taste! read more

I had the mini chorizo tacos and my dining partner had the wet burrito. Our food tasted great. Really liked the salsa. Wish there was more rice in the side portion we ordered. read more

Breakfast taco! What more needs to be said. Love me some breakfast tacos. They have a burrito also. All are very good. Have had the chorizo/eggs/cheese and the bacon/eggs/cheese. I didn't realize how much I missed breakfast tacos. read more

5 stars ALL THE WAY!! Authentic Mexican food, with creative options like cactus tacos, fish tacos, different style quesadillas, fresh salsa and incredible cheese cake! Even though they don't technically do anything for birthdays - they still made me feel special and made it a memorable time. They were all very helpful, and had such positive attitudes that would brighten anyone's day!! I'm from northern MI, but will definitely be stopping by again when I'm in the area! read more

DO NOT GET THE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS!!!! Most disgusting, disrespectful, and disgraceful thing I have ever tried. Cheese quesadilla was good, tho. read more

Ordered 2 Wet Burritos as a walk in. Food came out quickly and I was on my merry way. Got home and both of them lacked any sauce. Looked at the menu again and the pic showed them smothered in sauce. Description on Menu also said they'd be saucy. Guess they were done so fast they forgot the sauce in a wet burrito. Saddened read more

I had their wet chicken burrito and it was delicious! I had leftovers for lunch the next day!

Excellent, super-flavorful tacos. I usually go for the Buddy Box and am never disappointed. Delicious and filling.
