Stopped by here on our sister date and had their pizzadilla, which is a ginormous birria quesadilla. We split it among the three of us and still weren't able to finish it all! The consomme was very savory and not overly salty. The pizzadilla was stuffed full of meat and cheese. It was so delicious! Total cost was $30. read more

7 Mares - Pizzadilla and consomme - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

The best kept secret on the Southeast side of town. The chicken fajitas were phenomenal and provided enough food for at least two meals. It appears that they have made some improvements to the seating area and we had a comfortable meal for six people on a busy lunch hour. The service is friendly and prompt but you should know that you will have to go to the counter to pay. read more

This is the most authentic Mexican food I have found in Grand Rapids, not just taco truck street food. Be adventurous and order a la carte. I like that the restaurant is family-owned, not part of a corporation. read more

7 Mares is definitely a hidden gem. This little hole in the wall caught me by surprise, as I had not heard of this place before until I was searching for places to eat on Googlemaps after I finished work. Even from a brief look at the menu, you can get a sense that it is an authentic Mexican restaurant. I got the Enchiladas de carne Molida and it was really good. The food was very flavorful and the beef was pretty tender. The tortillas were fairly soft. I have had enchiladas that have melted more in my mouth and has a slightly more tender texture, but this was still really good. Beans and rice were good, and it also comes with guacamole (I know, right???) and a small salad on the side. The restaurant is fairly small with some tables and chairs and booths. The place is not fancy, but that is the charm of it! The food came pretty quickly (just needed to wait 10 mins). While I was waiting, i noticed that it seemed like most people seem to take their food to go. The woman behind the counter was super sweet. I'll definitely come back again to try more of their dishes! read more

The tacos are very average. There's better places to go. If you're in a rush and need something quick, then it's not bad, but I prefer 10 places in town over this. read more

On the corner of Kalamazoo & Adams, 7 Mares has been on my list for a while. We grabbed a parking spot on the street and were greeted immediately after walking in and sitting in a booth. There were 6 different hot sauce bottles on the table, including one for shrimp. I started off with a horchata, complimentary chips, and half a dozen oysters, which came with lime slices. I wish they had come with a little fork or spoon, but I ate them with my hands. I heard the chimichangas were great, and my asada one didn't disappoint. It was super crispy and topped with tons of guac. My partner got the chicken tostada/burrito combo, which was good but not something that's my usual go to since there was a lot of lettuce and shredded cheese, so it reminded me of a Crunchwrap. While I'd probably stick with Los Mariscos de Pancho for seafood, 7 Mares is definitely where I'm getting my next chimichanga. I want to try their fried ice cream next! read more

This is a new neighborhood favorite. The birria tacos are fantastic and I can't wait to try more of the menu

Food is ok, service is terrible, owner is unresponsive. Do not recommend. It also has a dingy and filthy atmosphere.

Nice clean and authentic Chips and salsa are good Quesadilla was perfect Tacos are regular read more

Best. Food. In forever. I came home for a short visit to see family and my sister took me here. She has a knack for finding amazing, authentic Mexican food so I knew this place would be legit. She also came to visit me in Southern California and you'd think finding authentic Mexican food would be super easy (so did I!) until she discovered some random hole in the wall which became my #1 go-to forevermore. If I lived in GR, 7 Mares would be it for me. Great prices, quick service, deliciously simple fare with fresh ingredients - you definitely won't be be disappointed!!!! read more

My coworker moved into this neighborhood and saw 7 Mares and mentioned it to us. I loved the vibe of this place - it looks a bit like a house with a restaurant on the first level. There are probably 10 tables and a small kitchen. I ordered 3 tacos - al pastor, barbacoa, and tripe. All of them were seasoned really well; the marinated pork was very tasty, as was the beef barbacoa, but the tripe was the best I've had so far. It was the perfect texture, seasoned perfectly, and was so good! If you're apprehensive about trying tripe, this is the place to try it. read more

Unfortunately, this place came highly recommended, and we found it to be disappointing on many levels. Three of us ordered dinner and after approximately 30 minutes, our food arrived cold and inaccurate. The food did not taste authentic and lacked in flavor and portion size. This was the worst Mexican food that I had ever tasted. The staff were very kind and courteous, however, the other factors result in a poor review. read more

Definitely my favorite Mexican food in Grand Rapids so far! The food is so authentic and there is limitless options. If you are vegetarian, Halal foodie, or just like having options in general, this is definitely the place to try out. Also, if you're on a budget, don't fret, they have great options for cheap. #BrokeMedStudentLife They offer combinations, however, sometimes with separate orders you get larger portions. Love spice??? Try their homemade jalepeno sauce! They also have a sweet-spicy sauce but the jalepeno one has won me over. Add a Jarritos or Mexican coke to make your meal complete! (The only issue is that it is a residential area so no parking lot but plenty of street parking!) read more

Uh-oh, we found a new favorite!! We have driven past this place several times and today was the day to check it out and we are quite glad we did! The people are so friendly and the food is authentic and AMAZING! Of course, I about set my mouth on fire with my first dip into the complimentary salsa and chips! But then I adjusted to the heat and it was very good. Lots of people ordering take out and you can tell they are repeat customers, each one welcomed warmly! read more

We ordered an enchilada and it was decent. Not the best in Grand Rapids but will fill you up if your hungry. Prices are good.

Was in town for a hockey tournament and found this place on Yelp so we have it a try. There was 11 of us (kids and adults). It's a small place and we took up a lot of the inside. I am always nervous trying new places with a group but when I walked in and saw other Mexicans eating here I knew I would not be disappointed. The waitress was AMAZING and the food was even better. Every single person loved their food! I will be back next time I'm in town! I wanted to stop on the way home for a few more shrimp tacos but my sons game went longer then expected! read more

The food is delicious. I had the marinated pork chimichanga and my son had the ground beef chimichanga. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. For the finale, we had fried ice cream. I recommend this place for great Mexican food. read more

Stop whatever you are doing and go here. The food is delicious, authentic, and downright AMAZING. I went to this restaurant twice, not once, TWICE in one day. I had it for brunch (shrimp enchilada and a shrimp taco for me, carne asada tacos for my fiancé) and dinner (shrimp tacos with extra rice and the same thing my fiancé had for lunch). It's just that good. Just go here. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was good and authentic, definitely lives up to the whole in the wall name. However waitress had a annoyed demeanor the whole time serving. We needed a mexican spot but from the interactions with the waitress definitely not going back. read more

Yes! If you crave authentic Mexican food, 7 Mares will hit the spot! It's like eating at my Grandma Augustina's house, it's small and nothing fancy, smells like cumin, the music is playing a little too loud, there are lots of Mexicans hanging around, and after a good wait, you'll get excellent authentic Mexican food. Find this place (it's not easy!) and take a chance on something you've never had before (the menu is extensive, so it won't be hard!) I almost gave them 4 and not 5 stars, because they take a while and the servers are working too hard to be consistently great, but then I thought about their food and gave them 5 read more

Hidden gem! The red snapper was amazing. My son loved his tacos and the tostadas were good.

Delicious, authentic Mexican food. Great portions, fast, and good prices. The chimichanga was crispy and super flavorful

So good!! Delicious food! I wish I had enough room to order it all again. I had the chorizo and carne asada tacos and the amazing Frijoles. The chips and salsa were fresh and to die for. I loved the jalapeño sauce on my tacos--so flavorful!! Grprices!! read more

I've only had the tacos here but they are some of the best I ever had. Def worth a try if you are looking for a taco slot in the area .

Excellent food-highly recommend. Guacamole was fabulous. We had vegetarian fare that was great- dont this up for fear of a "meat only" menu

Food was amazing. Staff was great. If you are in the area you can't beat this place. Try the Tortas.

Great food and always great service! I especially love the shrimp enchiladas. Great variety of authentic Mexican food. The owner Tina is such a sweet heart! read more

Prices are a little high and the service is okay, but the food is amazing! Coming from someone who lived on the border of MX, the food is authentic-- one of the best Mexican restaurants in GR. read more

Great portions, prices, p...food (I wanted it to begin with a p too darn it!) It is a hole in the wall, no frills, but one of the more tasty authentic mexican eateries I've tried in GR. This would be my #3 in GR, La Huasteca being #2 and La Taqueria San Jose #1 (for just food alone). Family owned, which is always a plus in my book. Friendly, efficient service and good value. Wish they had margaritas then it'd be P-erfect! read more

Their shrimp tacos are everything. I haven't had anything bad yet. I've been the 4 days. Wonderful intimate (small) place. Food is fresh and the staff are very nice and attentive. I recommend it to everybody. They even have catfish! read more

You don't eat here for the atmosphere, you go for the food. It's a dive to look at, in a out-of-the way neighborhood. The service is attentive, the portions generous, and the prices reasonable. I had the daily special and enjoyed it. read more

This is my favorite restaurant. I'm picky about my food, since I'm a pretty good cook. I love their vegetarian wet burrito made with 2 tortillas. They know me, so when I call or show up they automatically ask me if I want the same. Yes, I do lol . With sour cream and limes. Absolutely delicious. read more

Some excellent Mexican food. Come hungry you will leave full. Fast and friendly staff.

:( this use to be the best place for Mexican food! But today the service was horrible, my food was bad & under cooked. We killed a cockroach & told the waitress she just said, "well its warm out". What!? Eeww... LOL. I will never be back to what was once my favorite Mexican spot. :( read more

We had a very enjoyable visit for late lunch. Service was spot on and friendly. It's a very clean hole in the wall location with its own charm. The menu is gigantic and based on other reviews, they can pull it off. The food was fantastic with flavors throughout dish. I had the chicken enchiladas and chili rellenos. Photos above and we will be back! read more
