Much appreciated!

If the MSG might I suggest pouring coffee over the tuff meat instead. But before all the other meals have been great. Unfortunately I have to eat Ala carte because I am unable to a whole meal. However my family can and do. Husband loves the frajitas, Mexican tacos, California Burrito. I have had the tequitos and took 2 and a half home. You also have the option of grilled chicken or shedded. I usually pay the up charge for the grilled. Until recently I have had no complaints.

First of all, to the person who gave this restaurant a one star review and said it's not true…read moreMexican, thank-you! That's what got me to come try this place. Don't get me wrong, I do love true Mexican food, but I also love Tex-Mex, Arizona-Mex, and New-Mex. It annoys me when all of the Mexican restaurants in an area are basically the same thing. Now, as for what I got and what I thought, unfortunately I had already eaten by the time I learned of this restaurant's existence. I wasn't hungry but decided to stop in just to try a cheese enchilada. I've been obsessed lately with Texas-style cheese enchiladas like what I grew up with. This enchilada awakened a long-dormant memory from my childhood before my parents divorced around 1983. In my recent research into Texas enchiladas, I learned that alongside the popular Taco Tuesday there is also an Enchilada Wednesday, and it originates apparently in San Antonio, TX where the public school system has served cheese enchiladas for lunch on every Wednesday for over 50 years and counting. According to what I've read, it's hands down the most popular meal of the week, and many kids who bring sack lunches the rest of the time will buy lunch in the cafeteria on Wednesdays so they can get the enchiladas. They're that popular. Well, I briefly went to elementary school in San Antonio in the early 80s and would have had them, but I didn't remember them. But trying this enchilada here today brought back the memory of eating cheese enchiladas in San Antonio as a kid. This was San Antonio-style enchiladas and the closest I've had to them in many years. So you can keep your "true Mexican" food. I'll stick to the true Tex-Mex food like I grew up eating in Texas and, later, Arkansas. And what I had today at the Lopez Taco House was it! (It was also really nice having green sauce that wasn't just green because of tomatillos but actually had some good heat and flavor from various chilies. It also reminded me of Texas.)

Look past the shoddy exterior.. and interior... the food is really really good, and the service is as it should be. The booths aren't very comfortable (old, stiff, etc) and the decor could definitely use a refresh, but that's not really why you're here, right? You're here for a large serving of diner food. And that's what you'll get! I wish I could throw money at this place to remodel the interior and get them a nice tall sign to be seen from the freeway, and this place would be very popular. I craved the croissant breakfast sandwich.

Never will I ever go to this place again when I bought a burrito the damn burrito look like the size of a fucking taco for $12 for a fucking burrito they look like a taco talk about a fucking rip off they don't give you no chips and salsa they don't give you fucking anything with Debrito they're basically fucking you the moment you walk in to the door total rip off in the food don't even taste that good And the waitress and the waiter they don't give a shit they don't give a shit if you're standing there waiting for your food but also sorry that they touched my food they serve me my food and then they touch the money no thank you I'll never go there again I don't know how they're surviving in this town when they don't even make their own beans and rice very fake Mexican restaurant, another business in Marshall Michigan who are trying to make $1 million in a small town they don't even have anybody so let's charge $1000 for a taco so they can retire in another year no thank you Nina's Mexican in Battle Creek is the best place for Mexican food plus you got great service there and the prices are cheap and then when you order a burrito look at the size of the burrito and compare to these peoples burrito size you'll be laughing your ass off and it's for half the price chopper read more

The worst Mexican food you could ever count on these people have no idea how to make Mexican food but of course white people when they go in there they don't know what Mexican food is all about these people don't use anything authentic it's all fake Mexican food in the prices is ridiculous. You think you're paying for a four meal gourmet if you want real Mexican food, go to Nina's Taqueria in Battle Creek now they know how to make food. The only thing they don't do right as they make Menudo, but they've kept in the fridge raider for days and you never wanna eat Menudo that's not fresh. read more

My partner wanted a barbacoa burrito, which was not on the menu, but they made it for her anyway with no charge. We did agree that my burrito was better. She fell in love when she saw the salsa bar. They have at least 6 different salsa that you can self serve for your order. An excellent touch if I ever saw one. The food came out quick and hot, they have cool chairs and a generally nice open space to eat in. The service was friendly and prompt. Pretty much all anyone can ask of a restaurant. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone.
