" I don't consider Taco Boy to be a fancy restaurant but rather a hidden gem in the Grand Rapids area. The food is consistently good, and if you love wet burritos, you have to try theirs - it's life-changing! Occasionally, I do wish quality control was stricter because my last visit had some overwhelming dryness in the burrito. Staff are usually pleasant, although I did encounter a rude cashier. However, the flavors won me over, and I will keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I remember first eating at Taco Boy as a kid, and I still love the different flavors they offer! I always go for the beef burrito—simple yet effective. Even while the restaurant is small, it has a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff. The prices haven’t changed much over the years, making it a great dining option for budget-conscious individuals. You definitely get your money's worth! " (*Curated Review*)

" Their burritos filled with lots of meat are amazing! I always feel satisfied. However, my last visit left me a bit disappointed when they forgot my hot sauce—it was a takeaway, so that was a bit annoying. The ambiance is also not the best for group gatherings since it's so compact. But overall it’s still one of my favorite spots in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to be wowed and, honestly, I wasn't. The burrito was average at best, and the service was nothing remarkable. While I appreciate the efforts, the flavors left me disappointed. It feels like Taco Boy is riding on its reputation rather than delivering fresh experiences lately. I might return just for the nostalgia, but that’s about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had Taco Boy for dinner last night, and wow! It's a taste explosion! I ordered their red meat burrito and added beans. The flavor was rich, and I loved every bite. The portions are huge for the price you pay, and I consider it well worth it. It does run on a busy schedule during the evenings which can lead to slight wait times, but the quality of the food makes it all worthwhile. Definitely coming here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco Boy is always a delight, though I noticed the prices creeping up a bit. I think it’s still worth it since the taste and quality of the food make up for it. The staff is generally courteous and helpful, but on busy days, they might seem a little distracted. I can't complain, the burritos are delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Taco Boy, it reminds me of the days where I enjoyed hearty meals without the fuss. They got your usual favorites like tacos and burritos, but executed exceptionally well. The portions are generous, perfect for hunger-driven customers. The owners seem to know their regulars well, creating a lovely little community vibe. I’m a fan, and I recommend this place to anyone who wants to get their fill of comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)
