So by chance we stopped here for lunch. This is a very clean restaurant. All the staff wore their masks appropriately. We had our meal to go. The food was good tasting and fresh. The desserts looked awesome! Would stop again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here and would most definitely return! Great service and prices. Food was hot, fresh and tasty. Parking and traffic is a bit tricky but we will return.

Great tacos. Can be ordered with a variety of meats and toppings. I ordered a chicken and a beef taco, both with onion and cilantro. They came on freshly done corn tortillas and they were amazing. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Mexican spot. We were in town from Chicago, and it can be hard to find good food in Michigan, so we were really happy to find this gem. Both teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed our meals as well as my bf who can be a bit finicky. They all got the carne asada meal and I got the wet burrito, a Michigan specialty. Very nostalgic for me, a native Michigander! Service was prompt and friendly. This is an unsung gem.

Great place for authentic Mexican food! Had a craving for tacos and went here on a whim. The restaurant was pretty clean and just feels like a fast food dining area. Service was nice and fast, and we got our orders in quickly and our food shortly afterwards. I got the taco trio with steak, chorizo, and chicken as my meat choices. I also tried out their quesadilla. The table came with chips and salsa. The food was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for an authentic taste, look no further! I definitely recommend it!

Awesome restaurant to go to. I have been coming to this location for some time and the service there never disappoints me. The tacos, burritos, caldos, frijoles, horchata, and tortillas with salsa are the best. The middle aged woman that works there (Whom is probably the owner or whatever) is friendly and is fun to chat with. Muchas Gracias Tacos El Cunado de Alpine.

We decided to try this place. As a family who is not from MI but travels often, we have tried several mexican restraunts and this place by far is the best we have had. The service was good. The food was amazing and we will be coming back.

I had the two tacos and a quesadilla, and they melted in my mouth. The green salsa was perfect—not too hot, just right. Traffic almost made me stay home, but after tasting that food, I’d fight through traffic every time. The tacos were amazing, and the Mexican birthday cake? So good. Definitely worth it. I already have a favorite taco spot like we all do, but this place is now a strong contender. So amazing—I’m definitely having it again this week.
