Stopped at Que Buenos after a long day packing boxes and loading a trailer. We were HUNGRY and wanted a quick late lunch before hitting the road back to Wisconsin. I will say I gave them 4 stars vs 3 because I really enjoyed the food. The person at the counter actually got my order partly wrong. There are several options for nachos on the menu and I believe he may have rung my order incorrectly. However, I was correctly charged for what I got and I still enjoyed my meal. (We were in a hurry so I didn't want to make them fix it.) The restaurant is pretty basic for a storefront place. I'm not a fan of storing supplies out in the open. but their storage must be limited. The bathroom could have used some attention. But overall not the worst I've seen. I'm focusing this rating more on the food as the three of us all enjoyed our meal and my local friend went back in as we left to get dinner for his family. My thought is if you are local, this is the place for carry out. Eat in if you have to. But make sure they get your order correct. read more

Food here is good every time and wow the Birria pizza is so good. Not always the cleanest tables but the food is awesome. Did I say awesome ;) Only reason it is not a 5 star is often it is messy in the dining room. read more

My Roomates and I go all the time and we love it. The food is great and the customer service is ever better. Would highly recommend.

This place will be one of my favorite places from now on! They have good tacos for good prices on Tuesday. I ordered chicken and steak tacos. Both were very tender and tasty. You can choose what ever you like to add to your tacos. I asked for lettuce and sour cream. The steak is my favorite followed by the chicken one. The Chicken tacos tasted like Shawrma!! It was pretty good and awesome. Every order comes with free chips and salsa. I am very satisfied with the service, price, taste and quality. I am coming here again for sure! read more

Que Buenos Fresh Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Great value on solid tacos near campus. Tacos were good. Food was quick coming out. Chips included no additional charge which imo makes it a great value. Not full service staff, but checked on us if we needed anything. Wouldn't recommend calling. I've called a few times and get left ringing for minutes. Went during the week/evening, so can't review how busy/rowdy during the weekends, but it was calm without feeling empty even with only 2 other tables out of 15ish. read more

Did not answer phone. Phone mail full. Was in a hurry ordered online and didn't even know this site existed went to sprinkle one. Did not have time to go to other place to pick up order. Waste of money. Should have answering machine at least tell you location or have open mailbox for orders read more

Great value, super fresh and authentic. The tacos remind me of when we lived in Southern California. Fast and friendly service. I have only just found this place, and both times I've been here it's been excellent. The decor is simple so don't expect anything fancy. Just good fresh food. read more

We absolutely love the food at Que Buenos. Recently I asked to order "something new" and they recommended Enchiladas Rancheras. What a delight! It was sooo good! Eduardo knows his customers and aims to please! We really appreciate him and all the employees at Que Buenos. read more

excellent service and food, a tad pricey but worth it for the speed and consistency. Have ordered from here for multiple years now and have only been treated with kindness and respect. I really appreciate the staff and how quick and efficient they are even when dealing with large quantities of orders. The food is always delicous no matter what you choose and it is always a go to too recommend to others read more

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this place only has an average of 3-ish stars. We just discovered this place in January and we've already ordered takeout from here 3 times (it's February 6 ). I have held off on reviewing in case it was a fluke but we have loved our food every time we have ordered. The chorizo Mexican style tacos (corn with onion, cilantro and lime) are my go to. Their salsa verde is BALLER! Some of the best I've ever had, for real, i am obsessed. The guac is really good too; some places it gets real runny but at Que Buenos it's thick and rich and flavorful. And the chips and salsa are good too. My husband is hooked on the beef chimichanga dinner, which is huge and messy and really filling. We've had great customer service each time too, fast turnaround time to pick our order up, and they have things pretty well organized for covid safety, especially as a small restaurant. I'm certain we will be back soon. And if you're craving Mexican, give it a whirl! read more

Our order was a bit off -we asked for al pastor tacos and got chorizo. We also got a ground beef chimichanga and the filling was like a very finely minced and dry beef paste -not much flavor and the fried tortilla was a bit soggy (although the soggy factor may have been due to it being take-out -perhaps it steamed a bit in the container). Finally, we also ordered pollo con queso -the chicken was a bit dry with no flavor (it looked like boiled strips) and the rice was a bit dry -more sauce was needed. I will say, they were very fast and I loved that they included a small bag of chips and salsa for 2 of the 4 entrees. The chips and salsa were very delish. Overall, for the price and quality, we were disappointed. I'll update if we try again :) read more

It's soooo good I went back 2 days in a row. I'm from out of town and I'll drive back to eat here again. MA read more

: I felt like I walked in to a friend's house the first time I ordered there. The staff is ABOVE AND BEYOND friendly. They will remember you and your name if u shared it the next time you come in. They have the best #TacoTuesday deal in town. $1 tacos with UNLIMITED chips to go. : Get ready to wait ~30mins for ur order on Tuesdays. However, regularly ur order takes 5mins. Overall: Food Service Atmosphere read more

Disclaimer: This review is for the delivery food only. I haven't eaten at the location. So my employer decided he wanted to try out this new place he'd heard of. As he is an avid Mexican food fan, I consider him somewhat of an expert judge of it. He said he'd heard good things about Que Buenos and they delivered! (DON'T get me started on how many places won't deliver to us downtown smh) So we ordered. The actual ordering process was pretty uneventful and ordinary. The food showed up in about 35-40 minutes. It was still very warm and came in cardboard topped foil pans. Nothing was marked so we had to play musical lids to figure out what was what. And some of the dishes looked pretty identical so... there was that. Slight aggravation. Once I figured out what dish was mine, I prepared to dive in as I was pretty hungry by then. First impression? When I opened the dish my initial thought was "Did I inadvertently order burrito soup?". Everything was kind moshed all together with only vague separation of them. It took me a moment to actually locate the burrito. By the way I ordered the Burrito lunch special which was a wet burrito, rice, and beans. Or should I say bean "slurry". Although the flavor was decent, the beans were SO over processed that they had the consistency of baby food. Totally weird texture. But when mixed with the rice they were decent. Speaking of flavor, the burrito itself was also decent. Nothing outstanding but definitely edible. I would eat it again. Finally, it seems like they are very new to the "delivery game" as the guy was very confused and showed up with cash "for our change" when we had paid online via credit card. He apparently had no idea we had already paid. I don't really have faith that he will get the gratuity we indicated for him. Overall this place is decent. I gave them 3 stars because they deliver downtown. And the food is decent. With their late night hours and nice prices this would be a great "after the bar" stop for sobering up food. I'm sure they will improve as time goes on, and I will re-visit this review once I eat at the location. read more

DELICIOSO After a couple of drinks at Bell's, we thought screw these expensive tacos, googled tacos nearby and ended up here! The Mexican style tacos and cheese dip were so yummy. My guac is much better but I had a few bites. Go get you some read more

Hands down best steak street tacos I have ever had. Ordered online and came super fresh and so good.

We have only gotten take out from this place for taco Tuesday's. The customer service was great and the food came out pretty fast. The inside of the restaurant is pretty dark but I don't really mind since we usually do take out. Tip: American tacos do not come with the taco salsa and they do sell it for 0.50 cents per 2oz cup, it's so delicious with the sauce! Any orders that you'd get, even on taco Tuesday, it comes with a bag of chips and red non spicy salsa. Our fave is American tacos with grilled chicken which consists of cheese, lettuce and grilled chicken. I have tried shredded chicken too but not really a fan. My husband loves American tacos with beef ( I believe, it's ground beef). Enjoy their delicious tacos! :) read more

This place is a hit or miss. Maybe more on a miss. The sorriest excuse for enchiladas I've ever had, the tacos are surprisingly pretty good and burritos are OK but needs work on the food. read more

This place is located near WMU campus and is a small eat in place or you can also order to go. When we were ordering our food, the man helping us was very nice and helpful. We placed our order and were given a number to set at our table. We ordered two kids nachos (with only cheese and ground beef on the chips), torta de carne Asada, a wet burrito & and an order of guacamole and chips. We sat at a table after getting our drinks and were given a small basket of chips and small cup of salsa. The wait time was longer than usual and were done with our chips, I asked the waitress if we could have more and she gave this look like she was upset because I had asked that question, she hesitantly brought us more chips. When she brought the chips, I was going to ask her for more salsa, but she walked away so fast that I wasn't able to ask her! Our food came out and it looked great. I asked to bring more salsa and again got "the look". The torta was HUGE (only ate 1/2, it was good)! The kids liked their nachos (also HUGE) and the burrito was okay (it was missing some flavor/seasoning on the meat). I noticed we didn't get our order of guacamole, so I went up to the cashier and the waitress asked me what I wanted. I let her know that they forgot to bring us our guacamole and she replied, "Okay, go have a seat". At this point I am getting mad at the way she is behaving. I went and sat down and she sat the guacamole bowl hard in the table; she was walking away and I told her she forgot our chips, she turned around and replied "it doesn't come with chips". I replied, "Well when I ordered it they confirmed it comes with chips". She walked away and a few minutes later slapped a basket of chips on our table. The lady was very rude and I was on the verge of cussing her out....but I didn't. So if you decide to eat in, and she is still working there, expect some bad service from her, because I wasn't the only one to experience her lovely attitude that day. We had went back on another day (Taco Tuesday) and the same thing was observed...that same lady was being rude to another customer. At this point, I don't think waitressing is her calling...ijs.. read more

I was asked twice for clarification that I wanted no onion yet there was extra onion on it.

Stopped in on a whim...the place it dark and doesn't look super nice. They serve all the food in to go containers if you are eating in or not. The food did not disappoint. My kids actually ate all their food- and that never happens. I got the steak street tacos and they came with a green salad a that was not to spicy and packed with flavor. I will be back to try some more items again. read more

Really yummy authentic Mexican food. I was very pleased at the quick service at the counter and the variety of great choices! The atmosphere is welcoming and homey. Which I think is perfect for a student, random citizen, or anyone looking for on campus Mexican food. I went very basic and got traditional Mexican tacos. Just no onions and scallions. The quality of the meat, shells, and the rest of the veggies. They stepped up for what I took off. The prices are relatively cheap. If that isn't enough, they also give more of a deal during certain specials they have daily. The day I had gone and tried them, they didn't have a special on what I wanted. So I got the list of their specials, just in case I find myself heading out for some Mexican food again. read more

We have been waiting for Que Bueno to open. There is not much in this area of town & the local Mexican chain is meh. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. Though the food was cooked fresh & the staff was friendly, it was simply so-so & their covid customer protection is not up to par. Steak Fajitas were tasty, but the beef burrito was bland as could be. Fresh chips & salsa were free, which was nice, but again, no flavor. The salsa seemed to be thin tomato & nothing else. Normally, this wouldn't deter us from trying again after a few months & letting them hone their craft. However, the biggest reason we will not be returning is several kitchen staff were wearing their masks below their noses & chin. Sadly, we didn't notice this until after we started eating. Once we noticed this, we started paying attention. They had a fountain pop machine for everyone to use, & this is how their water was dispensed. They said "there are gloves to fill your water", but didn't monitor or encourage use. We didn't see any of the tables wiped down after people left. They had hand-sanitizer out at the register, which is great, but that's not enough. If they can't take covid regs seriously, what else are they doing in the kitchen that could put our food at risk. read more

I thought I would try someplace new for lunch today Instead of one of my many favorite Mexican restaurants. It was 11:15 and I was the only one eating when I got there. I placed my order at the counter and was given a number, I got my ice water and found a seat. A few minutes later I was brought a basket of chips and a to-go cup of salsa. I asked if they had some hotter ones and they brought me two in plastic squirt bottles, like all my favorite places do. A few minutes later I was brought my lunch. They had some lunch specials but the taco choice was crunchy. I ordered two Mexican style (onion, and cilantro) with double soft corn tortillas, rice and beans. It was $9 something. It was a lot of food but a lot of just ok Mexican food. I had grillled chicken and steak. Both tasted fine, nothing as good as I have had. The same for the rice and beans. Ok but nothing to write home about. I would loved to have had real silverware or even nice plastic wear, but I was brought one of those to-go packages with cheap plastic and a napkin. I'm sure they do a decent business from all the college students close by, I just don't know if I would be in a huge hurry to go back myself. read more

Was a little worried since it's on WMU campus but this place is awesome. Tacos are excellent. Salsa is delish, al pastor and chorizo and lengua all taste fantastic. Gordita is bigger than I expected too. Great service and everything tasted fresh. Will definitely be going back here again. read more

New taco place near campus. To me Gallo Blanco is the standard in Kalamazoo. This is not as good. However it's better than Big burrito and it does deliver. I had a Al Pastur taco which had a nice char flavor on the pork. Yet no real sweetness from the fruit. I also did a chicken burrito. It had good flavor. The shredded chicken was moist and the hot sauce had a nice kick. The prices were reasonable. I would call the food authentic too. It might not quite be Gallo, but they will bring it to your door. read more

Hymai is the RUDEST manager I have ever met. When asked for the owner he said "owners off somewhere in "Coldwater", he's the boss. This guy is a huge dick and I won't eat here EVER again. Didn't add the Queso that we ordered (& paid for) then charged us $6 more dollars for a side of Queso. While I was standing there saying we didn't get it. He literally pulled out his phone and started texting! Wouldn't make eye contact...RUDE AF . This kid has problems and is taking it out in that business's customers. read more

Microwaves, low quality ingredients, & heartburn are all things that I now associate with this greasy Mexican spot. GET RID OF THE MICROWAVES PLEASE. The food is just okay at best... Ketchup like salsa, ewww. I smelled like a dirty deep fryer after eating here. I only gave it two stars because the staff is really nice. Eat somewhere else. read more

I love you so much, I go there every tuesday but a 50 minute wait is ridiculous, get it together, get a bigger kitchen. i've watched enough kitchen nightmares to understand that you just need more cooks to make the orders go by quicker read more

A friend recommended this place and I think it's great! I've tried the Mexican tacos carnitas style and the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas were good but the tacos were fantastic - good quality meat, flavorful, reasonably priced. Also the staff are super nice and the service is fast. My only issue - minor - is there's only one size fountain drink. A smaller option would be nice. This is another solid option if you're eating near campus. read more

Que Buenos Fresh Mexican Grill - A piece of finger nail in my rice! - Mexican Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

food is good, not going to lie. but i had AWFUL customer service. I ordered out for delivery. Not only did they get my phone numver and address wrong after I repeated it 4 times, they forgot my beans. I called back politely asking for them to bring the beans back. The lady responded, and i quote ""my shift started at 10, so idk what you want me to do, i didn't put it in." where i answered if she could bring the beans back out to me. "No more drivers." she answered. I asked to speak w the manager, she hung up on me. I proceeded to call back 16 times, and it rang a few times then went to voicemail. She was hanging up on me. I told her i'm coming into the store via voicemail. Finally she answered the phone, told me I never ordered it and they have no drivers, hung up on me, and blocked my phone number from calling. She had the WORST attitude. Worst customer service. Not going here again. read more

Usually quality delivery food in an acceptable time frame. Best service if you order in person, however ordered tonight and received a text that my order was modified/cancelled. No call from the restaurant, and both phone numbers appear to be down. Like any campus restaurant, expect variations in service. read more

Long line of customers at lunchtime, but I don't know why?!? Lunch was cold, including the chips. Cheese enchilada and rice lacked flavor. Chicken burrito had no flavor. Dining area was clean. Cashier didn't say please or thank you. Drive past this establishment. read more

Very disappointed. Ordered the guacamole dip and the bean dip to share... Given a single serving cup of the guacamole (the size of a side of salsa) for $4... Bean dip was 4 times the size for $5... But not enough chips to share!! A chimichanga was supposed to be steak, but was filled with ground beef... The other order of queso was not included... When called about the order errors, staff were not very understanding and offered no correction. read more

This is authentic Mexican food! The beans have no lard and taste so yummy! Don't you hate that phlegmy cough after other Mexican meals? Not happening with this fresh food. The guacamole Salad has a twist of lime that's ever so nice. I have never order a Chili Poblano, but did to my delight, this time. To add to the charm, I got to watch the World Cup soccer game here. This is my new favorite! read more

This place is SO GOOD. I feel like people truly don't realize what a great authentic little spot they have. I moved here from NYC a few years ago and have had issues finding good restaurants that aren't chains, and have that awesome street taco authenticity factor. I got it immediately when I stopped in here for some queso fundido and tacos. Service is fast and on point when stopping in the store. read more

Only place I've liked the tacos in Kalamazoo. They taste so good and do a great Tuesday deal. All the 3 star reviews clearly don't speak on the taste. I get the carnitas tacos, "mexican" style. Will get some today and probably tomorrow too. If you're looking for great authentic tacos this is the place. read more
