a menu for a restaurant
Letitia J.

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!

Chimichanga asada

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!

Tacos

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.

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!)

Enchiladas and flautas!!

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!

Look beyond the exterior and try a taco. You won't be sorry for giving this place a shot.

Tacos were okay. More onions and cilantro than meat. The smelt were really good but priced too high

they excel at fish, but the meat options are also pretty good. not necessarily my favorite spot, but very solid all around.

This place is a hidden gem. It has the typical Mexican restaurant feel but the food, drinks and…read moreservice are above par. The staff was friendly and our waitress was friendly, talkative and fun. She definitely added to our experience. I hope we get her again the next time we go. The place is clean and large enough for 2-10 people in a group. They have typical booths, tables and is spaced out enough that you don't feel too crowded. The food was delicious! We got something with a bed or Mexican rice covered in chicken and queso. It came with 3 tortilla shells. The flavor was amazing and the portions were more than enough for two of us to share. Our friends got the burritos and they said it was one of the best they had. Now the drinks! Wow! They have a sangria margarita that will go down way too smoothly and warm you up right away. So good! We are definitely going back for those! Can you tell from all the exclamation points how good it was? LOL. We will be back and I hope that your experience is just as good.

Its such a convenient location to get to, the space is so bright and cheery, and I think they even have a drive-thru for takeout orders! I also appreciate that they have a full bar, though I haven't tried their margaritas yet. For dinner, I ordered chimichangas and my husband ordered fajitas. I need to remember that chimichangas are delicious, but I prefer enchiladas. That's on me, not them. I still enjoyed them, and ate all the leftovers I brought home! My husband really liked his fajitas too. Overall this is just a good, solid Mexican restaurant. The food has been really good both times I've visited, and the service has been super friendly. I will continue to eat here anytime I'm craving Mexican food, and will continue to recommend it to others as well!

I ordered the Molcajete, every time I ordered this it was nice chunks of steak and chicken along with Shrimp. It was served in a broth that was delicious. This time it had tiny strips of beef and chicken with very few shrimp and it was served with a ground beef cihili and no broth. Two pieces of pineapple on top which was never on there before. It was so much chili that it all tasted the same. Very disappointed. The service was slow and she didn't check back only once.
