Reviews For Proper Taco

The best places are where you walk in with no idea & the chef will just ask you what you don't like then make you one of the best tacos you've ever eaten. The standards on the menu come from good chefs playing around. This was a fun chef making something fun. Loved it.

My friend and I visiting midland stopped in on Sunday for lunch, we wanted something different and unusual and boy did we find it. And let me tell you, my mouth is watering and I’m craving the tacos so bad I’m about to drive the 50 miles for them. The flavor was out of this world. I had the spicy angie taco and it tore me up on the way out and I loved every minute of it. We both moaned very loud with our food. The service was awesome. We had a great time with the lady that served us. The catering list had me laughing so hard. Cannot wait to have more.

My family are here for the first time yesterday. It was the best Mexican food around. Staff is friendly, we got our food in record time, and the whole vibe is fun yet relaxing.

Hidden gem award. I lost track of time reading the taco descriptions. Bravo I spoke with a delightful human at a point as well.

Great selection of tacos, nachos, and dips. There are many taco options with several protein options to give you a lot of different taco choices, all with excellent flavor profiles.

Went today for the first time and it was absolutely amazing. I tried three very different tacos, each more delicious than the last, and the first one set the bar really high. I wish I lived in Midland so I could eat here all the time. Please consider opening a location in Traverse City!

Amazing tacos. Fun gift selection. While Proper Taco wouldn't seem out of place in a larger city, the place is a bit "edgy" for Midland (in a good way) and adds some much needed spice and diversity to Midland's comfort food oriented restaurant scene. If you don't know what you want, just ask and they'll put together the best combinations for you.
