AMAZING food!!! Friendly service and clean restaurant. Seating is socially distanced and most customers do takeout. Will have to return to try more things on the menu! My first time having birria tacos - so good! My only "complaint" has nothing to do with the restaurant, just that the location is a little tight and crowded. Parking is available behind the restaurant!
Incredible tacos and fantastic prices! We visited El Globo based on a recommendation from a friend and it was fantastic! Additionally, they have tacos for $1 on Wednesdays - who can top that?! I had the Al Pastor, Chicharron, Chorizo, and Barbacoa. My favorite by far was the chicharron!
Authentic Mexican!!! We found this gem by accident. The horchata is yummy and the birria tacos were amazing! I think they would get so much more business if they had a way to advertise. We will definitely be back!
El Globo is located on Division Ave - we were able to park on the backside in the lot (parking meters). From there, you will find an arrow on the back of the building that guides you into the restaurant - we walked past the kitchen, the cash register and to a table. We were given menus right off-the-bat but upon ordering beverages, we waited about 5 minutes before another employee came over and took our beverage order again stating that the other employee was too busy. It was a bit awkward but after that, the service was just fine. Most of the people in my group ordered tacos - there is a platter that you can get 3 tacos (4 options to choose from) and it comes with rice and beans as well as lime wedges, grilled onions, jalapeño and sliced radish. I really enjoyed the chorizo and pastor tacos. I also got a chicken taco - but it was dry and stringy; that is the only one I'd recommend skipping. The chips and salsa in the beginning were tasty and the salsa had a nice tomato flavor. Our checkout experience took awhile as we didn't realize we needed to walk to the register and pay without getting bills. The value was good - the taco platter was $8.50 so it's much better priced than your upscale taco joints (Donkey, Luna, etc). Beware - the neighborhood is a bit sketchy - we had a woman that was clearly under the influence of something almost walk/fall into our moving car - so keep your eyes open and be safe but definitely worth the risk for good eats!
This is our favorite place in town for authentic Mexican food! We've tried many things and all are delicious. My husband usually gets the quesabirria tacos and steak tacos, both excellent. Pictured here are steak and al pastor Gorditas. They do a great job accommodating my specific requests (no tomato, lettuce, or sour cream, add beans and cheese). I love their green salsa and I like to dip my Gorditas in the consume for quesabirria.
I found this place on Instagram after searching for birria that would be comparable to the birria you'd find back home in Chicago. El Globo definitely lived up to my expectations. I ordered the quesabirria combo and an horchata, and this was enough to span 2 meals for me. Everything was delicious and spiced just right. The horchata was perfect and not too sweet. The presentation was great and the staff was so friendly and attentive! I will definitely be back for more!
I've heard about this legendary place with cheap tacos on Wednesdays so we finally decided to check out El Globo for lunch. Tacos are now $1.50 each for traditional, Mexican-style tacos with cilantro and onion ($2.50 for lengua and tripe), and $2 each for "supreme" tacos with sour cream, lettuce, and tomato. My boyfriend and I each ordered three traditional tacos--I got al pastor, asada, and pollo, and he chose lengua, carnitas, and chorizo. They give you a small basket of free chips, salsa, and hot sauce to start. The salsa was so delicious, with really rich tomato flavor and lots of cilantro. The hot sauces were just okay for me. I preferred the orange one over the verde sauce, which was a little bitter. Neither were really spicy. Our food came out quickly and everything was hot and fresh. The corn tortillas were some of the best I've ever had! Not at all dried out, and light and fluffy. We shared bites of all the tacos and the lengua was definitely my favorite. It's a super rich, fatty cut of meat that was perfectly tender. I usually base my judgment on taco places by their asada taco and El Globo's was just okay. It was a little lacking in flavor and not very tender. However, the price can't be beaten, the service was friendly and helpful, and I would absolutely go back for more tacos or some of their other dishes that I saw coming out of the kitchen. There is a ton of metered lot parking behind the building and some street parking as well. We waited around a bit until we figured out you go up to the register to pay. They also have a surcharge for credit card orders under $5 so keep that in mind. We spent about $13 before tip for two people for lunch--pretty awesome! Definitely give them a try if you love authentic Mexican!
As we were visiting Grand Rapids, we found El Globo on Yelp. It looks like a small restaurant on the outside but it is a very deep restaurant. The food I would rate as 5 star. We ordered the guacamole and it was fresh and punchy. For dinner we had the Molcajete Tapatio. It is a hot stone bowl with chicken, shrimp, beef, and Chorizo. With the meat, there was Mexican Cheese, a large Poblano pepper, cacti leaves, and onions in the hot bowl. The flavors were fabulous. The bowl came with flour tortillas, rice and beans. Oswaldo the chef said that everything is made there. I did not try the desserts since the had sold out of tres leches cake. The ambiance was ok and closer to a place like Chipotle. For ambiance I give it a 4. Overall, I look forward to eating there again.

I chose El Globo based out of previous reviews. I happened to be in Grand Rapids for the first time, so I didn't know anyplace to go. The service was very prompt and friendly. The decor is very Mexican, and nicely done. I ordered enchiladas...as a vegetarian I chose the cheese enchiladas, and elected not to have the rice and beans. I ordered a side of guacamole to get things going. The guacamole and chips were as good as I've had in Michigan. Growing up in San Diego, I am often disappointed by attempts to make Mexican food, they nailed these. I ordered the enchiladas with green sauce, and they were also delicious. read more

I had the quesobirria tacos and honestly, they were AMAZING! I had been searching all over GR for some birria tacos and I'm really glad I found this spot that was tucked away on Division. The service was also really great and our server went above and beyond for me and my friend. I also had the hibiscus drink which paired perfectly with my tacos. Definitely visiting again! read more

As someone that had never been to an authentic Mexican resturaunt, I enjoyed the food very much. The takeout was fast and easy and everything came hot even after I was 15 mins late to pickup the food. They had all the fixings done right and had beets, peppers, onions added to my plate which was not advertised but It was great. The consume was hot and they had two sauces along with the meal which were for spiceiness but it was not overwhelming. Definently recommend to everyone and will be coming here again. The picture was after I ate alot, so just saying! read more
