The restaurant was Mexican themed, but the tables were on the smaller side for our family of 5. We stopped in on a road trip for dinner around 7pm. The sun was shining in and there weren't blinds so it was roasting hot inside. Our waitress, Megan, was nice but every encounter was a bit odd. We ordered the chimichanga dinner with pastor, and 2 kids meals. We asked for silverware and were told, "I will bring your silverware with your plate unless you need it now for your chips and salsa." No big deal, however, when our plates arrived, I was given only a knife, my son a fork, and my daughter a spoon... we then received a confused look when we asked for more silverware. Our food was okay. The salsa was very watery but otherwise it was okay Nothing over the top amazing and nothing awful about it, it was just okay Mexican food.
I don't get it.... Seems like everything was from Gordon Food Service boxed Mexican rice and a big old one gallon can of refried beans. Nothing original about any of the food that I was served. They can do better and I can do better with Mexican food at other places around town. Won't be back here. Save your money for real authentic Mexican cuisine at a good place.
Subjective: After living in Southern California for a period of time, tacos have become a necessary staple of my diet, so going from having them on a weekly basis to not having any for more than 1 month was jarring! Seeking to fulfill the taco shaped need in my life, we found ourself at this Tacos El Cunado location- a chain throughout west Michigan. We dined in and service was prompt. I was pleasantly surprised by the tacos, my favorite being the fish and pastor, but disappointed by the burrito. The quesadilla (for the toddler mostly) and tamale were average. Overall, all the dishes were a little salty for my taste. The highlight of the meal was the horchata- both delicious and generous. Objective: Date of visit: 12/4/22 Previous visits: None Takes reservations/call aheads? Probably for takeout Parking: Lot Perceived capacity: Small Perceived atmosphere: Casual Wait time to seating: Seat yourself What I/we got: Horchata, 3 tacos (fish, pastor, asada), chicken tamale, quesadilla, burrito cost: ~$40 Assessment: 3 stars- solid taco option to quell the taco craving, but still searching for something that will more than just satisfy. Plan: Would return if circumstances led to it, even if it's just for the horchata.
Breakfast is my favorite meal and I love Mexican food, so when I heard there is a new Tacos El Cunado that serves breakfast, I couldn't wait to stop by. This location is right near 96 and Plainfield, in the Plainfield Plaza. There's lots of parking and the dining room is open for dine in. They also do takeout. Nate and I stopped in for breakfast on a weekend morning around 10:30 and there was only one other group inside. We were told to take a seat wherever we wanted and a server came over with menus, water, and chips and salsa. The menu is pretty large and they have a lot of specialty plates that sounded tasty. The breakfast options include tacos with assorted fillings, a burrito, breakfast plates like huevos rancheros and huevos con jamon, and pancakes. I got the breakfast tacos with bacon and eggs and Nate ordered a chorizo and egg burrito, as well as a large horchata. The horchata came out first and it was massive! I think it was probably 30+ ounces. It was creamy, sweet, and delicious. One of the best horchatas I've had! The flavor is similar to a chai tea, with a nice cinnamon flavor. Our food came out quickly and everything was super hot and fresh. The tacos come three to an order and they had a generous amount of bacon. The tortillas were fresh and soft, but not falling apart. While I enjoyed the tacos, the chorizo burrito was incredible! The refried beans inside made it super tasty and the chorizo itself was so flavorful. I loved that the burrito was grilled so it was warm and the cheese was melted. We saved half of the burrito to enjoy later and I just ate it cold at home - it was still delicious. I'd get this every time! The complimentary chips and salsa were just ok, but everything else was great. I chatted with our server who said they've only been open for a few months and tend to get pretty busy at lunch time, but they're not super busy around breakfast - so I'm glad to have discovered this spot! I'll definitely come by again for breakfast and to try some of their dinner items. We paid about $30 total for our meal. Super friendly staff and very clean restaurant.
Friendly workers tastefully decorated and clean. So much to choose from on the menu and they serve breakfast! I love their Chicken Chimichanga great taste shredded chicken and not dried out nice and moist. Their Shrimp Fajitas is another great choice nice big shrimp delicious. Both of these were served with rice and refried beans on the side. They also have dessert! If you leave from here hungry then you have a problem! We've never left here disappointed. On the corner of 3 Mile Rd NW and Alpine Ave.
My wife and I have gotten food here a few tines, and have always been happy with our orders. I've had a torta, Carne Alambre, cabeza taco and Camerones el rancheos. My wife's go to is the Pollo a la Mexicana.
First visit to this location. Sit down restaurant. Large menu. Wide variety of all the Mexican favorites. Chips were salty and crispy. The salsa was a bit spicy for me but I am a spice wimp. My husband enjoyed the bit of heat. The shrimp quesadilla was packed with shrimp and was crispy. Perfect size. The tacos are delicious. The enchiladas were filling and tasted great.
I always love coming here whether it's for carry out or to eat in. Honestly I haven't had anything other than their tacos, but I feel like the rest of their menu HAS to be good considering how amazing the tacos are! I love their variety of protein options; lengua is my favorite! There's so much parking in the lot in front of the building so that's never an issue! Inside, there are lots of tables. It's never been super busy any time I've been there, so I've never had to wait long at all. Food ordered to go is ready quickly too! The staff are always so nice as well! I highly recommend for any authentic Mexican food needs! read more

I just had the special, the Quesabirria Trio. Nothing to see here. No flavor to be had. This is Mall-Mex at best. Didn't even come with rice or beans for almost $15. You are definitely not in San Antonio anymore, Toto. read more

I normally get the 2 taco special but I tried something different today. BREAKFAST. i substituted rice for beans. Made a wrap with the flour tortilla - easy way to eat alot with every bite. Food was very tasty, I didn't need to smother the food in salsa . I kept the salsa for the chips. read more

Tacos are pretty good but they do take awhile here. Taco Tuesdays are very busy. Overall I would recommend tacos on a non busy day. The staff seems overworked and overwhelmed. If you are ordering takeout I would recommend calling ahead. read more

I was disappointed because I got my expectations up after hearing Tacos El Cuñado recommended by Hispanics locally. The front desk staff were kind and easy enough to work with, but they were not Hispanic! It seemed maybe someone in the kitchen spoke Spanish. The most authentic part was the loud music, which I could do without... the food itself was quite a letdown. They have the meats that you'd be looking for (lengua, cabeza, etc.) but not presented the same way as in Mexico -- big pieces of cow tongue looking at you is not so appetizing. And the agua de jamaica was so poor we could not finish it. I am pretty sure it was just from a mix. Perhaps the food is better hot and fresh, but carry out did not work well; everything got tough and tasteless as it cooled. I wouldn't recommend any of the things we got off the menu (tacos, quesadillas, jamaica juice) but maybe other things are still worth a try? I was just not impressed enough to want to spend that kind of money again, for the experience I had. read more
