If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I love frequenting the new Downtown Market here in Grand Rapids. A combination of indoor/outdoor marketplace reminds me of a mini Chelsea Market full of food stalls, local vendors, and more.

Downtown Market Grand Rapids

From May – September, there is an outdoor portion with over 50 local farmers selling fresh produce, breads, honey, cheeses and more. Basically, it’s foodie heaven and I am so lucky to live just 10 minutes away.

Whenever I visit, I try to sneak in a quick bite at Tacos El Cunado located in the indoor portion of the Downtown Market. Authentic Mexican street food, their tacos are made with locally produced corn tortillas, succulent meat or shrimp, and plenty of fresh cilantro and minced onions.

That’s it. No shredded cheese, no sour cream, no triple corn quinoa mango salsa. It is simple, delicious and perfect.

Pulled Beef Tacos with Avocado, Onion and Cilantro are my way of bringing the taste of the Downtown Market into my own home. The serving size is two tacos but I certainly won’t be judging you if you decided to triple that.

No forks required.
