We stopped in for lunch. Just as they opened for the day. I was very surprised by the quality of the lunch. Exceeded expectations. But previous reviews nailed it if you get a chance to stop this quiet little bar-esque great Mexican food spot stop by and give them a taste.

Paid over $40 for 6 steak tacos with little to no meat in them for take out. Also got one side of rice and beans and chips and salsa . Chips are burnt, and came in a ziploc bag. Food tasted terrible. Couldn’t even eat it. Service was good. Guy on the phone was nice. Would not recommend for authentic Mexican…wouldn’t recommend for food in general.

My mom and I stopped here today based just on review pictures from google. The food looked amazing. We can say, we were not disappointed! First, our waitress Tara was awesome. She was super friendly and went above and beyond. Next was the food. So flavorful and great sized portions. We will for sure be back!!

Don’t let the lack of exterior signage and missing parking lines deter you. The Taste of Midland is amazing. The bar & grill atmosphere is cozy and the wait staff is friendly. And though the name doesn’t immediately bring Mexican cuisine to mind, it is truly a taste worth tasting. The food was delicious. The presentation reminded me of restaurants in the suburbs of Detroit and throughout Ann Arbor. And the proportions were exceptional. We had the Birria Tacos, Carne Asada Tacos (sub Chicken), Double-Decker Tacos and the Burrito Supreme (sub Chicken, minus Cheese & Sour Cream). All highly recommended. Thank you for a great experience. We will definitely be back.

Very busy Mexican restaurant just off Bay City Rd. Blockhouse style building is reminiscent of a small family owned restaurant in Mexico. Very good food in portions commensurate with the price was quickly prepared and arrived hot at the table after only a short wait. Darius was an amazing server; super friendly and knowledgeable, high energy, and able to help with our choices. Multiple types of margaritas are available including flights of four are recommended, as well as a full dessert menu. Entree prices run $14-$18. Entrees.come with beans and Spanish style rice. I am looking forward to going back.

Dont let the exterior fool you. Fabulous food and super friendly staff. Food was out super fast and complimentary chips with salsa were exceptional. Just beware that margaritas have a lot of ice and not so much mix and read the menu carefully. Meals are priced with beef, so if you want chicken, there will be an upcharge. However, you also get discount for paying with cash! Would defintely eat here again!

The food is always so different every time I go in. Its almost like they have no standard measurements on their recipes. Every time Im in the food tastes completely different. Sometimes its bland and sometimes its super salty. The only saving grace is most of their margaritas are pretty good.

July 22, 2024

Salsa was great, waitress was fantastic. The cook could care less about wether your food is fresh or even right for that matter. Because of that I will not return, taco-bells chicken tacos are better!

Food looks nothing like what they show. The enchiladas were the size of a candy bar and no sauce on them. Had to pay extra for sour cream and salsa.

★★
June 22, 2024

No problems with the server. Food was very disappointing. Very salty. Something was scorched- possibly the rice or meat? The hard taco and nacho chips are flour tortillas that were fried so dark they were one shade away from burnt. When we expressed our dissatisfaction to the manager she said that this is just how they make it and everybody is served exactly like this; the implication was that they will not be changing anything and she didnt like my opinion. I will not be back.

Cannot say we were pleased with this place. Food was okay at best. Chips were hard and not even salted. Margaritas we got on our flight were overly sweet! This place just missed the mark in my opinion. There are plenty of local places that I would recommend going to rather than this place.

The biggest issue is consistency. I had the Birria tacos once and the console broth was dark and rich and delicious. Then evey time I have tried it after that it has been different.

May 22, 2024

The food and service were very good, thank you Heather! We both ordered the jalapeño margarita which was nice n spicy and some freshly fried chips with salsa that was so good we ordered three more bowls for our entrees. The Birrea tacos and wet burrito were delicious with lots of good flavors and textures.The atmosphere, or lack of, is my only complaint. Its still Bushys bar in there - nothing really festive, or welcoming, and like the name Taste of Midland, nothing that says Mexican restaurant,it still just has that industrial bar feel. We will definitely be going back, and I do recommend it, but I hope to see some future improvements with the interior.

Went for taco Tuesday. They dont skimp. Great food.

We came in with A group of 14 and it took 2 hours to get food and out of there. We didnt eat together at all. 1 group of are table got there food and finished before the next group of our group got theres. The bathrooms were nasty and it wasnt clean in there at all. The waitress was rude. She couldve got A 50 percent tip because Im A server and know how to treat people and how to serve! We traveled 45 minutes to try this place. Dont waste your money! The only thing good was the drinks!!!

This makes me sad bc I come here at least once a week but I have to say something. Called 30 mins before my lunch to order 9 tacos for my coworkers and I. They said it s a 25 min wait. I wait 30 mins and go in to pay for my order. I waited for another 25 mins in store before I asked for a refund, bc I have a 30 min lunch and needed to get back. When i asked for the refund she went in the back and immediately grabbed my food. Do they just wait for people to get angry to grab their order?? There needs to be a better takeout system or just don t do it at all. This has happened to me and multiple other people before. They have messed up my orders so many times but I ve never cared bc I loved this place so much. I know it s taco Tuesday but why tell me 25 mins when it s gonna be an hour wait? For 9 tacos that are like 4 ingredients? Very unprofessional, I will not be returning.

Quick place for lunch near the Midland iPark.

March 22, 2024

Food has no flavor. I always try a restaurant more than once and try different dishes each time. Three visits all the same. Meat had no seasoning, refried beans tasted like they came right out of a can and chips are icky. Had to keep brushing flies off my food. Margaritas were good but not worth suffering thru a meal to have one.

Food and service have been phenomenal both times Ive been there. It has become my new favorite restaurant. Cant beat the $1 tacos, the jazzy jalapeno poppers are a must have and Im working on trying more of the menu, the sample plate was an amazing start to that. My server is always in a great mood and keeps sodas and waters filled without having to ask her. Food always arrives at the table hot, fresh, and delicious. Looking forward to having a driver one time to try the margaritas as well. The atmosphere is great, its also about the only restaurant Im comfortable in even when its busy. Other places are unbearably loud and with hearing issues and tinnitus coupled with anxiety at times its the only place I can hear the conversations at my table and my head isnt in a swivel the entire time Im there.

December 22, 2023

The gauc was too much lemon juice, the nachos were pretty bland and basic, carne tacos came out smelling like bad cheese and tasted like nothing even though the meat was bright red. The server started out great until we said something about the guac and then just seemed annoyed we were there but did ask if we needed more drinks. The strawberry margarita tasted like mix with no tequila. All in all the food was not worth the price and the jalapeno margarita was the only thing that I was happy about when I left. Get some new cooks and it could be greatly improved. The servers were definitely not the problem. Parking: Parking was easy but they had one other table when we went.

Second try. Service was lackluster at best. Waited almost 20 minutes for drinks for 2. Only 2 other tables seated so not busy at all. Food was ordered, waitress brought incorrect order but quickly remedied. Food was not great. Steak fajitas were covered in some red sauce and it was excessive. Not tasty at all. Overcooked and chewy. Queso was ok. Margaritas were good. Will perhaps revisit for drinks and queso but the meals have been sub par.

Decent food, very bad service! Went there tonight with a group of friends and our kids. First off, kids are not all that patient. We got our drinks but no straws. After having to ask for straws it took at least 5-7 mins just to get the straws. All the while my nephew is whining cuz he wants to drink his pop. My husband never even received his drink at all. Food came out and it was pretty decent. The rice was a lil burnt and beans were dry. But when we recieved the bill it was incorrect. The waiter had put some of the other groups stuff on our bill, including my nephews drink. But he had gotten the kids meal which is supposed to come with a drink! Then we got charged for chicken with the wet burrito, but the waiter never told us there would be a upcharge after he asked us if we want chicken or beef. Then my SIL ordered queso, which was supposed to be 1.99 but was on our bill for 3.00. I would definitely consider a different restaurant

Second time here, to see if it had improved from when they first opened and the verdict is, not really. Its kind of strange that the enchilada sauce is greatly over-salted yet the refried beans are beyond bland. So, the food is two stars at best, but the margaritas are great and rate at least four stars. So go and drink, but be wary of the food. There are better places to get your Mexican food fix.

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

Let me start by saying our server was alright. However, this place advertises margaritas and tequila. Unfortunately, this is just another place that serves you premade mix for an exaggerated price. The barria tacos were okay but overcooked and overloaded with cheese. They would have been okay if they were not overcooked. My wife got a tostada which came loaded with cheese and not meat. For the price of a meal and drinks it was not worth it at all.

★★★

December 22, 2023

The food is ok - it felt dry and warmed rather than cooked fresh. The service staff was friendly and helpful, but it felt understaffed. Its definitely an upgrade from the dive that used to inhabit the building, but still super generic and kind of bland decor. Parking is stupid, but i didnt get towed so i guess its ok. Id eat there again, but probably not as a first choice.

Purchased 10 chicken tacos (no sour cream) get home they all have sour cream but didnt have time to travel back there contacted them they said they would replace them but had to wait till next Tuesday because thats when there on sale,it shouldn t matter and we shouldn t have to wait another week for them to replace them when we paid for them so we are probably just going to stop going there

What a hidden gem! Food was incredibly simple and authentic! Great portions and made to order. Nothing came out of a box or a bag...! Service was amazing. Do not let its location (its a little off the beaten path) fool you. I wish we had one in Cincinnati. Keep up the great work.

We ordered fajitas. We could not bite through the meat. It was like a rubber. The beans tasted burnt. The tortillas were really dry. First time in our lives that we left after one bite of food. The waitress was friendly, and the service was good. We paid our bill. We tipped the waitress and went to a different restaurant.

It was a Taco Tuesday, about 5:30. I expected a table wait, but lots of empties. Not much effort by staff. Ordered hard shell tacos with beef filling and pour margaritas. The Margarita arrived without the usual slated rum. My guest and I both agreed the beef taste was off. Presented the bill and discovered they had raised the Margarita price by $3. Apparently change in promotion. Did not get a copy receipt either. Did make a small profit in Michigan Club Keno! We are postponing future trips for an extended time.

Tara was so friendly,present & helpful. We waited a bit because our receipt didn t print for the kitchen. She gave us our guacamole free and apologized. She made the experience great! The food also tasted amazing! The guacamole was so fresh!!! Wheelchair accessibility: Low bathroom sink and ramp coming in!

Pretty decent but nothing really special. The nachos were very middle of the road, no queso or guac. Beer was a little on the warm side. Again it wasnt bad. Just lack luster Wheelchair accessibility: Perfectly accessible through both doors and plenty of room between tables.

The absolute worst Mexican food that I have ever tasted. Probably the worst food that i have ever tasted. And i have tried it 3 or 4 times. And the loudest restaurant I have ever been too. I dont think of this place as a restaurant. More like a bar with regulars, that serves food. The regulars that were there when I was the first time were very loud, obnoxious, and annoying. Its just bad bar food.

Beef quesadilla and Flacco Taco dinner was fantastic. The wet burrito is very good also. 07/01/23: Visited on a Saturday. She had 2 tacos, I had the Barilla Taco dinner. Fantastic! The spice is not for the uninitiated. So good! 09/26/2023: Visited on a Tuesday late afternoon for a birthday celebration. The Flacco Taco dinner was tasty. So good!

Had cheese enchiladas with onions. I thought the onions would be inside and not raw on top of the dish. Beans and rice were average at best. Home made chips and salsa was really good. No refill on my water.

Im kind of disappointed with this restaurant, I ordered through doordash, a take out taco salad and it states that it comes with tortilla strips, I get my food and theres no chips. I dont know about you but every taco salad I have had has chips all through it so I called there to see if I could get the tortilla strips and they told me they were just going to remake the taco salad for me my wife goes to pick it up comes back there was maybe seven of these tiny tortilla chip strips on a full take out box of lettuce and meat.

This is the worst place ever!! My husband and I just left there and we should went with our gut instinct, food was disgusting, chips and salsa were nasty tasted like the chips were deep fried 10X, I ordered 1/2 order of Nacho Supreme hubby ordered 3 chicken tacos, the ONLY thing good was the chicken... I would NOT recommend this place to ANYONE..the waitress was ok but very forgetful.

We hosted our staff holiday party here and had a phenomenal experience! Gabbi D and Tara S were our servers and they were able to stay on top of our group of 32 with ease and kindness, kept our drinks full and all our plates came out hot at the same time. Food was amazing - the fried pickles were the highlight of the night - our whole staff loved them! Gabbi and Tara were excellent hosts, all praise for the two of them keeping up with us!

Friendly bar atmosphere..a bit noisy. Food came out pretty quick and is moderately priced given the large portion size. The food has an excellent presentation but it all seemed pretty mild. The salsa was mild and the enchilada had no spice to it. Cheese was bland. Beans were average (like from a can) and the rice had an odd smoky flavor too it. It was a bit dry too. Will try other Mexican restaurants before visiting again.

Just want to say that this is the best place for taco s!! Just was there for taco Tuesday had a lot of fun of course. The service was very good!! And of course will be back next week for more!!!

December 22, 2022

It looked like a dive but some of the best eats come from small hole in the wall places and the reviews were 4.5!! The seats were ripped and duct taped- which I understand- unless 3/4 of the booth seat is duct tapped I ordered a Tostada rice, and beans, the hubs chicken fajitas, rice and beans. Outside of the rice- the food was nasty. My husband is like Mikey- he will eat anything- but not this, he ate 1 fajita and was completely grossed out. He said the orange sauce on the chicken was disgusting (which fajitas chicken is usually Marinated- not sauced ) Super disappointed.

Ordered via door dash a few nights ago, it was our second try with Taste of Midland. The first, several months ago, wasnt the greatest and the food arrived luke warm. This try, we ordered the meals, myself having the 3 tostada meal and my wife the 3 taco meal. Via the app they should of come with beans and rice, neither did. They were also not even luke warm, very much on the cold side when they arrived. Packaging was fine, and it isnt a far drive, about 7 minutes during rush hour. So not sure why both meals were cold. Lacked any seasoning as well for the beans/chicken/beef. I heard the Bay City location was really good, and this one has quite a few 5 star reviews. So far, it is a bit below average at best.

We went here cause we were looking for a new go-to Mexican restaurant in Midland. Online it looked good. The restaurant and bar were pretty nice and we were hopeful that we would love it. We first ordered classic margaritas on the rocks. I thought they were pretty good, my girlfriend thought they were mostly mix and not much tequila. We ordered guacamole and you can tell it s handmade. It looked good but it was super heavy on the lemon. I ve had lots of guacamole in my life and it s always been made with lime, not lemon. With that said, it wasn t terrible, just different. Next we ordered dinner and thought we be safe and get steak fajitas for two. But were we wrong. When our fajitas arrived at our table they were not sizzling, and they didn t look like fajitas even though they were on a fajita plate and came with tortillas and all the fixings. When we tasted them, they weren t fajitas at all, they were more like very salty stewed beef. They reminded me of roast beef from when I was a kid. But don t take my word for it, look at the picture. That is not what fajitas are supposed to look like. It was beef stew on a hot plate.
