Their food is consistent and very well plated. Service was wonderful and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is always clean and with the new design its super bright and welcoming. I also love their new menu updates and the website changes! Such a clean and fresh look. I personally like their commitment to the community and always being present at different events. Will definitely continue to visit!

back in july i went to el granjero to try to induce labor. sadly it didn't work but the food was…read morestill delicious. they have a vegan chorizo option which makes them standout from any other mexican restaurant. my partner added that to a burrito and requested no cheese/crema to make it vegan. i always go for the veggie fajitas which come with a small side of rice and beans (i requested no cheese on the beans). the chips are thick and crunchy and the salsa is fresh and delicious. They also bring out two sauces with the salsa as well which I confirmed do not contain dairy either. overall it's a good meal.

We had a group of 7 people stop by for lunch recently and I loved the food. There are a few small tables inside, but the majority of their seating is outside. Luckily it's all shaded and we were able to get one of the large picnic tables, but many people opt for takeout. I ordered an asada quesadilla and the table shared some chips, guacamole, and queso. I loved the queso as it was smooth and creamy, and the guac was chunky which most people at our table enjoyed. Some of the chips seemed a tad stale, but I was holding out for my main event: the quesadilla. It's a large size, and comes with tomato and shredded lettuce inside. The lettuce makes it a bit tough to eat, but it was so delicious. I had plenty of leftovers, too. The steak was flavorful and tender. I added some of the hot sauce which gave it the perfect kick of heat. I tried some of Nate's barbacoa taco, which was just as I remembered, super flavorful and tender. The only thing I didn't love was the horchata - it had a chalky texture and a bit of a weird taste to me. The large is huge! The jamaica was also sweeter than I would like, but still refreshing.

Let me tell you, I spent 4 years in Grand Rapids for college and when I came back here for a…read morewedding, I told my wife, don't get Mexican food here, its awful. Well after a week, she was craving Mexican food and researched this place & showed me the reviews and I thought maybe things had changed since I left. Things have not. The salsa here is tomato juice, there isn't a hint of spice. The chips seem like they went down to Mejier and got them on sale. They managed to get my son's carne asada taco wrong, my wife ordered the floutas/taquitos (whatever they have) and for the first time in my life I saw her not finish them. My tacos weren't worth the money and I went in with LOW expectations. I'm bumping this up 1 star b/c they are probably good for Grand Rapids Mexican Food. FOR ALL OUT OF STATE CUSTOMERS - especially those from Texas/Colorado/New Mex/Arizona/California and the West Coast... don't get Mexican food in the Mid West, just wait till you get home.

Inside it's clean and looks like a typical Mexican restaurant with some added neon signs and accents. The place had a decent crowd. Probably around 16 or so people eating. Sat me in a booth. Brought me chips and salsa immediately. Chips were good salsa was good. Smooth and not any heat so majority would like it. Server came over and got my drink order and I asked him about a few dishes on the menu. He was very nice and answered all my questions. Menu is large and they have lots of the usual fare and choices. I couldn't decide and he helped me narrow it down. I got the chicken chimichangas. They came super fast and hot. 2 small chimichangas with a sauce, refried beans, a small scoop of quac, sour cream, and tomatoes. Really small. Like not enough to evenly distribute to the chimichangas. And the quac was dark like it had been exposed to air for a bit. Taste was OK all around. It was decent. Nothing spectacular but OK. I ate it and it was filling. If you have a large appetite you may want to get something else. Overall it's just OK. Probably try someplace else next time.

The 3 tacos I got were el pastor, asada, and barbacoa (for a slight upcharge). All three were delicious and my favorite was the el pastor for sure. My wife got the quesabirria dinner which came with three quesabirria tacos, beans, and rice. We had to order the comsome on the side because it didn't come with it, which I felt was a little odd. We also got a side of chips and queso and they were great! The food was prepared quickly and made for an easy take out experience. Overall the food was tasty, but lacked some flavor, especially the birria which we had high hopes for. If you are in the same area I'd recommend the Quesabirria at Tamale Mary just down the round! The taco dinner was a great value to me since it was only $7.99! I'd for sure go back for a quick and affordable meal on a tuesday and I'm interested in trying more things!
