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

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.

  4. These look totally amazing, and I love how simple the tacos are! I live two blocks from an awesome farmers market so I get to walk there on the weekends but they definitely need more prepared foods, like tacos…I’d eat those by the truck full ;)

  5. These sound wonderful. I would have to forget the onion, because raw onion and I don’t get along well :-( Authentic Mexican food is always a winner with me.

  14. This is so easy and so yummy! I am jealous of that market! I wish our farmers market was open but we wait until June. It’s so nice to have an open air market like that. I just love Michigan for all of that seasonal produce! You are lucky to live there! ;)
