Big Burrito
Jennifer C.

THE BEST TACO PLACE IN TOWN!! I just love the flavor of their ground beef oh man...and the HOUSE SALSA?!?!????? Sooooooo delicious!!!!!!! We buy their salsa when we make tacos at home too We usually get "loaded tacos" with ground beef, sour cream and cheese and we get house salsa & mild sauce to add on top of our tacos!! It is so delicious & addicting lol Thank you for amazing tacos, BIG BURRITO!

Big beef burrito and side of rice.

Best burrito around. I drive from GR just to eat here at least once a month. The red hot sauce is fire!!! I get the red sauce Togo.

This place was recommended to us so thought we'd try. Inside is nice and clean. Prices are fair. We ordered a carne asada or steak Classic Burrito and a Big Burrito. They are big but missing a few ingredients. It's more of a Lettuce Burrito for us because it's packed with lettuce. Hardly any meat in it. I wish there's rice and more meat. There was no salsa served at the side. The upside, we like that the tortilla is cooked and has a bit of crunch. Would we go back? Most likely not.

Like a couple of other Mexican restaurants, I like the one after having a couple of drinks in Kalamazoo downtown. Tacos are great...chorizo is phenomenal and the service and attention are great! I just met the new manager Luis, and very customer service oriented trying to meet your needs. Really nice guy!

People who say The Big Burrito is only post-bar food are wrong. Yes, it's greasy. But many of our finest foods are. This was a frequent stop for me during my college days and I recently returned for the first time in a long time. The place seems to have gotten a serious makeover. It looks less like the back-alley kitchen it really is, and more like a legit restaurant. I will say that the "big burrito" I ordered seemed much lighter than I remembered. Perhaps they're skimping on ingredients to save money. No matter. From the crispy tortilla to the gooey cheese, this is a wonderful indulgence. If it makes you feel better to say it's only good when you're drunk, that's fine. Say whatever you want. It's fun to go slumming every now and then. I've only enjoyed Big Burrito while stone sober... and I make no apologies. I will shout it from the mountaintops. I love it. It also seems they've added a bar since my last visit. Now you have no excuse not to go. Also, you stand a better-than-average chance at being shot or run over while in this parking lot late at night, so that's always fun. Viva El Big Burrito!

Restaurant Name: The Old goat tavern…read more Dish: pickle chips, BELT, The forty eighty Date Visited:3/15/26 First Impressions: The atmosphere is wonderful it has pick your seat seating a very lovely bar where you can see them make your food multiple TVs to watch the games and a front and back entrance. It's a pretty peaceful college bar next to a really nice coffee shop. Presentation - 10/10 Taste & Flavor - 10/10 When getting food here you can get a good variety of spicy and savory especially when it comes to their burgers their drinks are made with much care. Nothing is too overpowering Portion Size - 10/10 I have a very small stomach so things tend to fill me up regardless however my husband is an endless pit and the burger seemed to fill him up for the time being. Value for your money? I would say you get a good value and a full meal for the price you're going to pay You get good service especially on a Sunday when there's only a very few people in there and you're just trying to relax. ‍ Service - 10/10 The service in overall 10 out of 10 The bartender was extremely friendly kept a decent conversation going & greeted us when we entered, most of the staff is college students so you know they're working hard when it comes to both school and being servers. Overall Rating: 10/10 Final Verdict: The Old goat tavern is by far place I would return to especially for a quick bite and something that's going to kill me up for a cheap price. It's good for a night out on the town or just drinks with friends they have a wide variety of drinks and drafts and a good burger. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already they live up to the hype.

Incredibly dull atmosphere for a Friday night and had to ask to put the game on as it was starting. The food was genuinely the worst I've ever had, burgers were completely charred and near inedible. The chicken tenders were extremely overcooked, hard as rocks, 90% breading and 10% chicken. The texture was similar (or maybe worse) than chicken jerky. I could not BEND the strip without using unreasonable force with both of my hands.

I'll start off by saying that I'm not a gamer. I never played video games as a kid, or adolescent…read moreand I think I can count on my hands how many times I've picked up a video game controller. I came here with my boyfriend while visiting one time and I still managed to have a good time. The drink menu isn't anything spectacular but there is something for everybody. We visited one time when it was pitcher drink specials and we got a gin and tonic with lime. It was. A bit heavy on the tonic bitterness and not too balanced, but was not bad. The bf usually plays the same games when we go to a game bar... Galaga being the top choice. I don't recall them having that. We did play some pac man and then hit the road because it was sooooop loud from karaoke. Fun vibe. Worth it if you like games or just want a different experience.

First time here and we were genuinely excited to check the place out. The woman helping us was…read moresuper nice and doing a great job explaining the drink menu! My dad asked if they had Miller Lite, and before she could even finish explaining their drink options, a random guy in a Pokémon shirt appeared from behind the counter like a side quest character and told us we had to leave because my dad was "drunk." We had been there maybe 5 minutes. No yelling, no chaos. We waited patiently at the counter until it was our turn to order. Just one innocent Miller Lite question. I was so confused and honestly disappointed. So unfortunately I can confirm... If you're looking for Miller Lite, this is apparently the most offensive thing you can ask for here. I do not recommend asking for a Miller Lite. Do not ask for a Miller Lite.

A great variety of tabletop games in addition to the pinball machines and arcade games, too! The staff are some really cool people. Very friendly and helpful (while also cool to just leave you be if you so desire). They have unique beer flavors and good drinks overall. We've been several times over the past few years and I'm surprised I hadn't left a review before!

One Well Brewing is the kind of place that makes you think, "Yeah... I could probably just live…read morehere." The kids disappeared into the games so fast I briefly considered filing a missing persons report before realizing they were just... happy. As a parent, I experienced something I hadn't felt in years: finishing an entire meal while it was still warm. I almost cried. The pizza is offensively good. My cardiologist has specifically asked me not to be tagged in any more of my Yelp reviews, but if you're reading this, Steve... mind your own business. Some relationships are worth fighting for, and mine with this pizza is one of them. The beer was fantastic. Every pint tasted like it was brewed by someone who actually enjoys making beer instead of someone trying to impress a guy named Chad who owns three flannel shirts and says things like, "I'm getting notes of pine and emotional unavailability." The place is huge, which is exactly what every parent dreams of. The kids sprinted off to the games, the dog made about 47 new friends, and for a glorious 20 minutes nobody asked me to open a juice box, settle a courtroom-level dispute over whose turn it was, or inspect a mysterious object they found on the floor. I wasn't parenting anymore. I was just a guy eating incredible pizza in public. One Well somehow found the perfect balance between brewery, family hangout, dog park, and therapy session. I walked in stressed, left full, and briefly convinced myself I could handle having more kids. Thankfully that feeling wore off before I got to the parking lot

The business regularly advertises a Free Bowling Wednesday event that takes place every Wednesday…read moreand encourages people to come starting at 4 PM. We arrived exactly at 4 PM after seeing this weekly promotion on social media. Upon arrival, the venue was empty, yet we were completely denied access to bowling due to a private event, and told that no bowling customers would be allowed until 6 PM. Before anything else, I want to clarify an important point: "Free" does not mean customers should be treated poorly. Free events are often meant to introduce people to a business, attract new customers, and create a welcoming first impression. Offering something for free does not justify rude behavior, dismissive communication, or shifting responsibility onto customers. Respect and basic courtesy should apply regardless of whether an event is paid or free. What bothered me most was not being turned away, but the blame-shifting that followed. When a business publicly advertises "Free Bowling Wednesdays" and encourages people to show up at 4 PM, it is reasonable for customers to rely on that information. Adding the word "limited" on social media posts does not communicate that no bowling customers are allowed at all until 6 PM due to a private event. Those are two very different messages. Instead of acknowledging the lack of clear communication, the responsibility was shifted onto us as customers with statements like "you should have called." This is unfair. Customers should not be expected to double-check an advertised public event by phone when no such instruction was mentioned. What made the experience more disappointing was the lack of empathy no apology, no ownership of the confusion, and no attempt to acknowledge how frustrating it is to arrive on time to an empty venue and still be denied entry. This review is not about complaining. It's about accountability. Clear communication and basic courtesy go a long way, and this situation could have been handled very differently with a simple acknowledgment and apology.

This place has tons of potential, but a lack of communication. Came in to pay to bowl, asked for 60…read moreminutes(never bowled before so I didn't know) for 2 people, they said a 60 minute wait, but maybe sooner. Had they informed me that a shorter bowl would result in me getting in sooner, I would've selected a shorter timespan. Either way, I decided to give them a chance, selected a seltzer (the cheapest at around .35 cents/ounce) and my drink came out to $10! It left me confused. Then proceed to go drink and watch the bowlers and there were 3 open lanes out of 4. For 20+ minutes, not a single group came in to bowl. As I was watching, it became increasingly clear that the host at the entrance wasn't trained to ensure everyone gets a chance, or for clear communication. Only positive? My drink was good, the few customers in there seemed to enjoy themselves. Just don't come to bowl, you wont get in. Look at the previous reviews, I am not the first to complain about this. Also, it looks like whomever is supposed to be checking these reviews doesn't care as there seem to be no responses to rectify these issues.
