La Esquina del Sabor — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

This was our first time here, and it felt like discovering a little corner of Mexico just a few towns over.

My husband ordered two marinated pork tacos, and I had two Gorditas: one with marinated pork and the other with shrimp. We both agreed the marinated pork was decent, but a little tougher and not quite as flavorful as versions we’ve had elsewhere. The shrimp, on the other hand, was absolutely delicious….so flavorful and perfectly cooked. For me, the shrimp gordita really stood out and exceeded my expectations.

This was my first time trying gorditas, and I was blown away by how satisfying they were. So packed with fresh ingredients, full of flavor, and very filling.

When we first walked in, the waitress who greeted us didn’t speak English, and the menu was mostly in Spanish. At first, I wasn’t sure how we’d order, but that actually made the place feel even more authentic. Luckily, the menu has tons of photos, which helped a lot. And another very kind waitress who spoke English came over and explained each dish I was pointing to in detail. She was so friendly and patient, which made the experience even better.

The restaurant itself feels casual, welcoming, and family-run, with food that’s clearly made with care.

If you’ve never had gorditas, I can’t recommend them enough. Go ahead and try them,...
