“ Great Mexican menu. Large meals and plates. The soft tacos aren't of the small variety. They are a hefty size. The plates are large and tasty. Enchiladas and soft tacos Al Pastor are excellent choices. Also the to go get special packaging. Not styrofoam because when cutting through food it goes through it. They use high grade plastic. Or you can stay and eat. Good seating and TV's. ”
“ Legit hole in the wall little Mexican food.. loved it ”
“ Very good Mexican food, fresh, affordable and nice service ”
“ The food here never disappoints. I’ve been eating here for decades and the quality is always top notch. The jumbo burrito is a classic; super delicious. Their homemade salsa is outstanding. But, the Chile relleno burrito is just so amazing! ”
“ Most taco places have chicken for tacos, buy Taco Grande makes a great Grilled Chicken Crunchy Shelled Taco that is a meal in itself. 2 is good for most. I order 2 for there and 2 more to take home. They are that good! ”
“ You can still get a good meal for 9.99. I appreciate businesses that don't overcharge. My breakfast is so big, I will have leftovers for lunch. I ask for the "machaca" plate and I got beans, country potatoes, guacamole and lots of "Machaca" (shredded dry beef with scrambled eggs). Food is really good and coffee is only 1.99. Love the food at this place. ”
“ Legitimately excellent burritos. Had a bean and cheese and a regular chile relleno burrito. Both were excellent. Salsa was also very good. Looks like a normal mild restaurant red salsa (think what you get with chips and salsa) but has a surprising kick to it. ”
