The comforts of a friendly, small-town atmosphere combined with the pleasures of big city life make Grand Rapids an ideal choice for a fun getaway with a host of indoor and outdoor activities.

A former 1920's neighborhood service station finds new life as a full service bar serving truly authentic Mexican food.

I hesitated choosing this place thinking it would not be authentic and typically like another chilis. I was WRONG, this place is great, Nice outdoor seating or standing hi top tables, great bar. To top it off they had a huge selection of Tequila brands to choose from. Tacos were very good and pricing was very inexpensive. They also serve a good Michalada which is basically a bloody mary with beer, spicy, tangy and very good. I will be back to visit the place soon

Was brought here by some friends on a stop in Grand Rapids. Great vibe, good beer, the food was average.I went with the Grandwich was is supposedly an award winner. It was good, but not as flavorful as I would have liked. Meat was a bit tough as well. The Yuca fries were interesting though.My colleague went with the Mofongo and it was unlike any we've had before. Doughy balls that really didn't have a lot of flavor.Would probably go back but try something different as the service was great and the vibe inside is fun.

We're a restaurant and Tequila/Mezcal bar located in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our cuisine brings a modern touch to the classic pre-Hispanic food of Mexico.
Reviewed By JMH2110
The menu at MeXo offers clear and detailed descriptions, which is good because many of the items are unusual. The two of us shared the crab cakes (an appetizer), the esquites (a side), and the tamale stack ( a main dish)--and had plenty of food. The tamale stack was the star! what a combination of flavors and tastes! A sous chef stopped by and gave us some background on the ingredients that go into this creation. --The cocktails were excellent as well.Price I suppose is relative--we are from Ann Arbor where they tend to be higher--but the cost seemed very reasonable for the high quality of the food. A truly standout restaurant.
