Reviews for El Arriero Restaurante Mexicano in Grand Rapids, MI

The food was solid, but nothing special. The restaurant feels clean and has an inviting atmosphere. The service was great, they... are quick to bring and refill complementary chips and salsa. The margaritas are huge fishbowl style. I got the skinny margaritaand it was bad, really sweet with hardly any tequila. I would go back but I wouldn?t get a marg again. Good option for Mexicanfood in Grand Rapids. Read more

This is a really nice Mexican restaurant with several pages of items from appetizers to dessert. Portions are generous so if you... walk away hungry it will be your own fault. Everything is cooked to order so plan a few minutes of waiting before your mealarrives. Try the house made hot sauce rather than the bottled stuff you can get anywhere. It isn't overwhelming hot but it has agreat flavor you won't find elsewhere. Coke products served here. Mexican Coke in bottles too. Staff is very friendly andhelpful. Plan on $12 to $15 per person plus drinks. Beers seem to be $5 each. Read more

The food is always great and the service is always fantastic! This has been our lunch spot for years. I've tried pretty much... most on the menu. Very authentic. This time was dinner and the drinks were slamming! Always love coming back here. Fantasticservice and food. Read more

It's a huge place and there were lots a big groups, so of you got a whole crew to feed this place is a viable choice. It's in a... strip mall with lots of parking. Food was passable, but nothing special and nothing to write home about. Complimentary chipswere a bit stale. Prices were fair. The drinks were better than the food. Overall pretty mediocre experience, but it's notwasted money to come here. If you want Americanized Mexican food and a fishbowl's worth of margaritas, there's worse choices youcan make. Read more

Food was really good and so was the setting. Our server was also really nice. I would go here again!

HUGE proportions of absolutely delicious food! The staff was very friendly and attentive. What a perfect way to round off my... birthday weekend! Definitely adding this to my list of favorite places to eat. Read more

What a pleasant surprise El Arriero's turned out to be. I'm so glad we took a chance on trying a new Mexican restaurant. We both... ordered the burrito and I couldn't believe how quickly it was served. And, WOW, did it taste fantastic. We also both enjoyed thecomplimentary chips and salsa. Yummy!! The parking was great, the service was quick, the staff were friendly, and the food wasexcellent. We will definitely be back! Read more

This place was good, a solid choice for Latin American food. They do the basics very well and nothing tasted bad. Their service... was pretty good as well, but the highlight of the meal were the churros. Also note of you ask for hot sauce it is recently spicyand homemade, I personally loved it but it was super hot. Great new spot, we'll be back. Read more
