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.

When I was a wee boy, I tasted the best taco in the world in a small village in Yucatán, Mexico…read more For years after, I have embarked on a journey across Grand Rapids in search of this taco. Countless dollars have been spent, shirts have been spilled on, and symptoms of spicy food have ensued, if you know what I mean. And yet, despite all of this, my taco perfecto had eluded me. I had all but given up until I moved to the West Side of GR and stumbled upon what could quite possibly be considered the Holy Grail of Grand Rapids Mexican food: a small, unassuming red shack on the corner of Bridge St. I'll just get down to the brass tacks. Any taco buff knows that a taco joint can be judged on one thing and one thing only: their Al Pastor. And by god, Cuñado delivers. On top of that, the Chorizo is cherishable. The steak is stellar. The chicken is, well, chicken, but it's damn good. And the salsa is just shy of perfect: it's fragrant, fresh and feisty, and pairs perfectly with any and every menu item (except the horchata, for obvious reasons). The sautéed onions provide sweet, crunchy and umami layers, and for the bold, a sauteéd Jalapeño to top it all off. All of this is housed between a generously griddled double tortilla, which bears the burden of it's toppings like an absolute champ. The value of this place is truly off the charts. I went (begrudgingly) to Donkey Taqueria the other day and paid $12 for two flimsy fake tacos. TWELVE DOLLARS for two raw tortillas with a smidge of crock pot meat in between. Meanwhile, I pay $8 for three hefty, hearty boys made with cariño down on Bridge Street, and they knock my socks off every time. The folks running this place are absolute gems as well. When you walk in, it kind of feels like you're at your abuela's house and she's pulling out all the stocks to absolutely stuff you to the brim. Although they probably see a thousand people a day, the Cuñado Bridge crew never hesitates to make my day that much better. In my opinion, Tacos El Cuñado Bridge St. humbly boasts the best tacos in town. And if you don't believe me, it'll only cost you $8 (on Tuesdays) to see for yourself.

Tacos El Cuñado on Bridge Street is honestly SO delicious!…read more I've been here a few times to get some take out but recently stopped over and sat on their outdoor patio. I haven't seen it since it's been put in and was pleasantly surprised and impressed! Love the red umbrellas! Ordered a couple shrimp tacos with cilantro and onion and it was amazing! Their tacos are so simple but incredibly delicious! I appreciate that the prices for food are reasonable. The horchata is very satisfying too! Loooove washing my tacos down with horchata. 10/10 would recommend and come back!

The menu is large and it was a bit busy and chaotic inside, so I just went with some of my standards: an asada taco and a barbacoa quesadilla. I also ordered a small jamaica (hibiscus drink). They also have a cooler with Jarritos and canned pop. Our food was brought out to us at our table and everything looked delicious! The steak was tender and flavorful and the tortillas were fresh. I really liked the quesadilla--it was a generous portion and had plenty of meat. I'm really glad I got to try this spot and I'd love to come back. I think they do a taco deal on Mondays. I want to try their chilaquiles!

But it was very cold inside!! You order at the counter and they serve the food. The service is great! There is an array of items you can order from and on weekends they order specialty options like Menudo. They also offer catering. Once you're done you pay at the register. Note you do pay more per item if you use a card and the fees add up! Bring cash! We had the asada taco dinner - tacos were good but the rice and beans were very bland. I loved the tortillas! We also ordered chips and salsa which was around $8 you pay for the chips and salsa separately. We were not a fan of the salsas heavy garlic flavor but that's just our personal preference. The chips were warm and seasoned! We also ordered the chorizo and papa pambazo which was amazing and not soggy at all! We ordered an asada torta as well and the bread was toasted perfectly but overall it lacked flavor. I wanted to try the queso chili relleno but they forgot to bring that. If you want an agua fresca they did seem to be popular as everyone was ordering them. We had the cucumber one and enjoyed it! Overall we paid $45 for everything which is similar to prices elsewhere. I loved the customer service here too! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I do recommend a visit!

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.

They offer more than just tamales too--there's a full sit-down menu with other Mexican dishes if you're looking for a full meal.
