Comfort Food Plus Plus…read more - - - - - - - - August, 2026 Visit We went on a road trip, from Missouri to Michigan, for a family event, and on Friday night we joined countless others in attending the outdoors concert in downtown Midland, MI. Our daughter and I returned to the car for a phone battery and saw Proper Taco and immediately went inside. Proper taco looks to be able to support, seemingly, any dietary concern... if it isn't already noted on their menu, I recommend just asking about your needs. There are almost too many tasty items on the menu; after a few minutes, she ordered tacos and I ordered Merv nachos for my wonderful wife and me. While we waited we laughed at the many magnets and other items with humorous quotes on them. We enjoyed this great food back in our seats, at the concert. I can speak to the fact that the Merv tacos are quite nice - great chips with so many flavors on top. Fantastic staff. Fantastic food, leading to my Plus Plus (++) award! Thank you, Proper Taco! We look to return on our next visit.

There was a little bit of burnt flavor to them. Not sure if it was the fish, or the tortilla. Another thing is they need some kind of sauce or freshness. They were also a bit dry. I was also disappointed that they were out of flank steak as I heard it was one of their house specialties. I also got a carnitas sope. It was really good and I can see why people are talking about this place. The pork was well cooked and flavorful. The sope itself was just like you would expect. Denser than a taco or a tostada shell. The chips and salsa were different and good. I'll come back again next time I'm in Midland and give them another shot. Lots of potential.

I got the chicken tacos and 8oz side of rice and beans. Their menu read confusing, as they didn't have prices on the different meats, and tacos ranged from $2.99-$3.99 so I wasn't even sure how much my tacos would come to. I also thought it was 8oz combined of rice & beans for like $2.99 but I believe it rang up as individual 8oz containers. My total for the plate (3 tacos) & sides came to ~$16 without a tip or drink. The chicken tacos were SO bland. I tried adding more lime, the grilled onions, radishes, both the red and green salsas, and even rice and beans but nothing could rescue the flat flavor of nothingness every time I bit into my tacos. My red salsa that came with my plate was genuinely lame, it had hints of Tabasco sauce? Like they were trying to make it so spicy without any actual depth or flavor. I expected more from this place. I did try my friends steak from his taco and it was a bit more flavorful, so perhaps I got the wrong meat. Their employees were very nice and service wasn't too long, restaurant clean but limited seating! I would only return here to try the California burrito. I can find similar prices and great quality elsewhere.

When you walk in, it's just packed with groceries on tall shelves, you will also see the cash wrap to the right when you go in. This is where you will place for order, there is a large menu board on the wall. We were wandering around, and an employee told us that we needed to go there to order, and after ordering, you walk to the back by the meat counter and wait for your name to be called. Nice selection of Mexican groceries, meat counter, produce area, piñata, even clay pots for cooking. This place is very busy, and gets crowded because there is so much packed in there. We wanted to try a bunch of things, I sort of felt on the spot when it was our turn to order. We got the carnitas huarache, asada supreme burrito, 2 pork tamales, rice and beans, and 3 tacos (al pastor, asada, and carnitas). The huarache was my favorite thing we ordered. I didn't care for the asada in the burrito. We liked the rice and beans were good, too. The pork tamales were not dry and had a nice flavor. We were so full, that we didn't get to the tacos until the next day. Of those tacos, I liked the Al Pastor the best, followed by carnitas and then the asada. Maybe it was an off day for asada, since everything else was good. I also order horchata, that was very good. They gave us sauces, which were good, but spicy fyi We will be back and I will be better prepared to order. I want to try the loaded fries and a gordita.

Barrio Taco We…read morestopped at Barrio Taco for lunch on our way from Chicago to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada, using it as our midpoint break on a long drive. And honestly, it did the job. The food was okay. I have definitely had better tacos, so this was not exactly a "write home about it" meal, but for a college town and a convenient stop along the road, it was perfectly decent. They have a good selection of tacos and plenty of choices, although figuring out exactly what to order can feel like a small decision-making exercise. Tacos? Bowl? Which fillings? Which toppings? Suddenly lunch requires a strategy meeting! They also seemed to have a pretty good selection of beers and cocktails, which added to the upbeat atmosphere. The space itself is large and lively, with a fun, happy energy that works well for a casual meal. Cleanliness, however, could use some attention. The floor was noticeably sticky, which is never quite the ambiance anyone is hoping for with lunch. Overall, Barrio Taco is a good casual stop, especially if you are passing through the area or looking for a lively place with lots of choices. The food was fine, the atmosphere was fun, and it was a convenient place to break up a long road trip. Not a destination meal for me, but definitely an acceptable pit stop.

For meats, I picked the chorizo + black beans & the seasoned pulled chicken. I will say it was fun to build my own & pick all the toppings I wanted. The food quality was just ok. I was a bit disappointed by the flavor (was expecting more flavor and more tender meat). The toppings were ok, but didn't really blow me away either. The pineapple salsa was a bit overpowering & it all blended together a bit too much. I will say these were my choices - but I felt quality and taste could've been better. Not just from an "authentic street taco" perspective, but also for a "fusion" / new American taco joint perspective. I did try the "French dip" taco from the el jefe menu and it was great! The barbacoa was pretty good too. And the salsa + guac was really good. Ambiance was ok. It felt like it needed to be refreshed a bit inside & we were a bit cold by the door. Overall, I had an ok experience. Fun to build tacos from scratch, but was a bit disappointed by the food quality. Price was great though.

The food prices were listed on the menu, but the margaritas had NO prices listed. We each ordered a jumbo margarita, which seemed to be around 20 oz. When we finally got our bill, we found out they were about $18 EACH. Had the price been disclosed on the menu, we absolutely would not have ordered them. Two margaritas added roughly $36 to our dinner bill, and our total ended up around $85 for two people eating tacos/Tex-Mex. As for the food, my taco salad was huge and very good, so I have no complaint there. My friend's taco combo, however, was a very small portion--one little taco with rice and beans--and he ended up ordering another $6 taco because he was still hungry. We also waited quite a while to get our bill while there seemed to be an issue with a takeout order. My biggest complaint is the drink pricing. I don't mind a restaurant charging whatever price it chooses, but customers should be able to see the price BEFORE ordering. Finding out only when the bill arrives that two margaritas cost around $36 feels very misleading. Good taco salad, but the undisclosed drink prices left a terrible impression. Put the prices on the menu and let customers decide for themselves whether they want an $18 margarita.
