The Mrs and I tried it for the first time and so far, its one of the top 3 in Bay City. Recommendations to try it were spot on.This food is amazing folks. With courteous staff and cleanlinessBtw.. their take out was crazy busy and we still had ours within 5...try it
Small restaurant with very friendly service. The food was very good.
Excellent and authentic Mexican food. I love carnitas and it was wonderful. . Friendly, efficient service. Nice small local place. Will definitely be back.
Hands down the best fajitas I have ever had! This place is a true gen of the GLBR
Excellent little taqueria. I have made it through most of their menu, and everything is amazing. Al pastor is amongst the best I have had not prepared on a trompo. Chili Relleno stuffed inside a burrito? Sì, por favor! Nopal for when you dont want meat. I was wishing they had some agua frescas on my last visit as summer sets in. Agua de Sandia would have made the meal so refreshing.Stop here, you wont regret it!
The food was very good and the salsa Verde was different being warm and thick but also very good I felt like the prices were a little on the high side but definitely worth checking out!
Amazing food and great service! We will absolutely be back again soon.
The food was authentic and delicious!!!
Arguably the best Mexican Food Ive ever had.Staff are incredible hard working folks.There was at least 5 orders ahead of mine and they were polite and very fast.
Definitely the best of the best! Im lovin it! 😍
Almost Always phenomenal food. Highly recommend the Al Pastor tacos! I like to add rice, sour cream, and cheese to them :)
Having lived in Southern California for most of my life, I have a high bar for Mexican food, and this is THE place in the TriCities area. Perfectly crafted street tacos with high quality and deliciously seasoned meat and seafood. Some of the best Al pastor and shrimp tacos we have ever had. Corn tortillas are freshly made and just delicious. Go eat there already!
Have always driven by but have never tried until today. Amazing food. Burrito was way better than anything youll get at qdoba or chipotle. Pricing is super fair too for the size.
My absolute favorite restaurant! REAL authentic mexican food w/ reasonable prices & generous portions. The staff are always so nice!Highly highly recommend!!
Everything is amazing, authentic, and fresh. The carne asada is the VERY best I have ever had. I just spend a week in San Diego and there wasnt a single carne asada taco that could hold a candle to Zaca.
Best restaurant in bay city. came in and ordered, got our food within 5-10 mins. We tried the shredded chicken tacos and the steak fajitas, they were amazing. the tortillas are the best i’ve had. good environment overall and a nice place for dinner. the staff were also very kind and quick with our order. 10/10 recommend
Great tacos, great nachos, great salsa. 5/5 stars, will definitely be back!
Fantastic! Best tacos Ive had in a very long time right here in Little Old Bay City. Highly recommend!
One of the best spots for food right now.
Very friendly and food was great 👍 we are going to be stopping ✋️ back in to have dinner. Hot 🔥 and ready awesome.
Order was wrong, shells fell apart. What we did get wasnt very good. Mothers day was not relaxing. My daughter was put on hold for 20 and decided to just drive back.
One of the best places to get authentic Mexican food. This is a must stop for travelers! Everything is made to order and cooked to perfection. Seriously, what are you waiting for?!
Best authentic Mexican food in the Tri-Cities!( Sorry, not sorry Saginaw) when you make sure to try the lengua and birria tacos, you dont want to miss out on these flavors!
Yuck , what kind of guacamole goes into a blender???? Only thing good was the soup! Tamales not done, disgusting and not authentic!
Fast friendly services but the food is amazing the beans and rice melts in your mouth and you got to have the fresh guacamole and salsa worth the ride every time
This is my favorite place for authentic tacos!! ♡ delicious food, great people, and worth every penny!
I only have one thing to say...this place is 1 hour and 30 minutes from my house and I regularly consider driving here for tacos.
Awesome salsa, Tacos are phenomenal. My new go to spot
This place is literally outstanding. Amazing Mexican food. Best in the Tri Cities. Top level Mexican food.
The best carnitas this side of Los Angeles! I visited while out of town from Missouri and was blown away by the flavor of the meats I tried. If I lived nearby, I’d just move in here. Street tacos done perfectly! Great service, too.
Place was clean.Food was phenomenal.There isnt a fountain machine in there and prices are pretty fair for the portions.Highly recommend you get the Zacapapas which are mexican street fries and they are very good.Decent Guacamole and comes with chips/salsa with every order.
To be honest, Im sad. I read the reviews and most were great! I had the beef nachos and most of the chips were soggy mush. There was alot of meat on them but it was almost ground up finely and had very little flavor. My husband had the carne asada tacos and he enjoyed them! I will try eating there again just to see if it wasnt an off night.
Went here to get dinner on a business trip. A bit out of the way from our hotel but a good trip. Ordered the Zacataco platter with 6 street tacos of 3 varieties. Overall good tacos. Wish the Al Pastor had more pineapple in it. They let me switch to the fish taco which was very good.The green salsa was spicer than the red but not too bad.All in all a good little taco place that is better than it looks.
Excellent food and service. The carnita tacos were amazing. These are the authentic street tacos Ive been missing. Well definitely be back.
Im sorry I was not impressed, The beans were like just a paste, the burrito with sauce on it was a joke. And im still trying to wrap my head around why would they serve a meal to go that has sauce on it in a cardboard container? That is like drink a pop out of a paper bag. This is my opinion, I had to try it but will continue driving to saginaw for my mexican food. PS the tortilla stuck to the bottom of the container.
Excellent food and great staff!!
This is the only time I have ever written a review, and it is well deserved!! After El Mexicano closed it left a void in my soul of having a tasty Mexican restaurant in my neck of the woods. This place not only filled that void, it’s made this thing called life enjoyable again! Do yourself a favor and eat here as much as you can, for the rest of your life! Thanks for reading.
SALT!!!! One word to describe the flavor. I am not sure if it’s in the seasoning or just feel they need to dump it on, but that really needs to be toned down.. had a really hard time finishing this dish ( steak fajita nachos) I also tried the tamale and the masa ratio was not great.. there was Barely any meat and wasted the big hunks of masa that were left over. The Sauce they put on it could be thicker as it was just a watery pool on the bottom of the plate. My co worker felt the same way with the quantity of salt that was in his dish. Felt as if my mouth was burned after the meal and there wasn’t anything spicy on my plate. Drank lots of water after .. which helped. If you like the flavors of this place and live in Saginaw, you can get it better at Alejandro’s Mexican grill. Not sure if same recipes or not but they were nearly identical besides the 200% more salt of this place. Service was ok… didn’t really keep busy and sat around the counter. I have had worse overall but will try again and see if it was just a fluke and the chef was off his game… will repost whenever that happens.
Authentic Mexican food that is delicious everytime! Great service and always friendly.
Very expensive. Kids didnt like the food cause it was so greasy it turned soggy. Tostadas was decent.
This place is pretty authentic. Had the Birirra tacos which were delicious. I recommend this place
That extremely good food😋😋 & they were very polite.😚😊 Love me some Mexican food😋😋😋
Good food for an affordable price. Friendly workers and a cozy place to sit and eat a taco.
So good! Just like you are in a little town in Mexico.
Friendly service and great food! Really recommend the birria tacos.
Truly my favorite taco place in Michigan. The staff is so kind and welcoming and the food is TOP NOTCH. I’ve been there a few times and have already had almost half the menu because it’s so phenomenal. I don’t even live by bay city and still drive here for authentic tacos. And they’re very quick for takeout.
Great food and staff, wish I found this place sooner!
Excellent Mexican food. Definitely a worthwhile place to eat in Bay City!
Taco platter is good. Please ask for spicest sauce it is gold.
The nachos are amazing. The chicken was super flavorful and overall it was a great meal. Portion size was plentiful; I finished my nachos but was stuffed afterwards. The cheese dip was also very popular in our house.
This is just my honest review.I wasnt a fan of the nachos as the chips were completely mushy. There wasnt any actual flavor to the nachos or tacos. The tacos only come with cheese and lettuce so you have to order pico separately. The beans and rice are just that, also no flavor. Guac was fresh. I mean it was decent portion sizes, but I dont think Id go back. Worth a try, you might enjoy it more than me! Very friendly girl at the front.
It was good, we tried several things and all were good. Staff very friendly. It was average in our opinion. Edible, enjoyable, but didnt get the wow factor we were hoping for based on other reviews. Prices were slightly higher then produced product.
I just had the shredded beef enchilada dinner. It was the best I have had in a very long time and I am a mexican food addict. No cheating on the meat. Very flavorful rice. Anyone that loves Mexican has to give this take out place a try! I will be back to try more menu items! Support family business.
Food portions are as generous as the employees! Youll be sure to have some delicious leftovers! Theres much more to choose from the menu than just nachos and tacos! Waiting times are quick as well! No more than 15 mins in and out!
Awesome food! Restaurant was clean and inviting. Staff was friendly and very welcoming! The Birria Tacos were soooo good! If you like it spicy you gotta ask for the special hot salsa!
Amazing authentic Mexican food .. The best in the Tri Cities
The BEST tacos I had in the region.Cozy environment and great service!
Very, very good food and only have a couple of minor suggestions for them to consider. Love the biodegradable containers BUT the Fajitas could use a foil or wax paper liner in the container so it won’t soak out the box plus it will help retain heat, we drove from Auburn and the wife’s Zapapapa fries were on the cooler side by the time we drove home (15 minutes), despite this the food was very good and amounts are very plentiful. Great non salty chips and a flavorful salsa, homemade tortillas and you my friends have a great, Authentic Mexican food restaurant. Call ahead and save yourself several minutes!
Super excited to see a new business come to the south-end. even more excited to find the food good. first trip yesterday. ordered the Chile Relleno Burrito. it was delicious. looking forward to working my way through the menu.
This little restaurant is a gem! Highly recommended.
This place is ridiculously, off the hook, amazing!! I hesitated to review because I wanted to preserve the short order to pick up time (10-20 min.). But I feel I must share this is the very very best Mexican food I have had in the entire state. The refried beans are even better that I’ve had in Mexico and I have been there a lot. Quesadillas are freakin bananas! Chimichanga is amazing! Fajitas…OMG!! Prices are very fair. Food is always fresh. Guacamole is the bomb and I’ve never even liked guacamole!!!! LOL!!! This is our new go to place when we don’t feel like cooking!! Congrats to the owners who took the risk of opening up a restaurant in the sleepy south end of BC. Look forward to many more amazing lunches and dinners!
Really great Mexican food. The best Ive found in the area. Absolutely top notch food.
Food was absolutely delicious! I had the zacapapas and my girlfriend had the chili relleno burrito and we couldnt be more satisfied with both the quality of food and service from the staff! We look forward to watching your business blossom and being faithful customers. God bless 🤗
Awesome chips, salsa and tacos. I cant wait to go back!
Literally obsessed. Best tacos in 100 miles.
My husband and I ordered the Chimichangas. They were fantastic! Wrapped in a tender homemade shell and topped with a delicious creamy cheese sauce. I had the seafood chimichanga, and the filling was incredible, with an ample proportion of tasty seafood. My husband had the beef chimichanga and he commented on the delicious balance of spices. We especially appreciate the earth friendly cardboard containers in which our order was packed in. They are truly the best Mexican restaurant in Bay City.
This is the best Mexican food I have had in a very very very long time. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend, we will be back!!!
Excellent food at a great price. I will be going back.
If you need more than onion and cilantro on your authentic taco.....its NOT AUTHENTIC!!! This place knows how to bring the taste of the home country and they do it in a BIG way!! Go get some REAL Mexican food and while you wait be sure to get a cup of the Fresca..... Delicioso
Yummy, close by the UnderGround Axe club where I work... food is so good. Staff is friendly. I can see this as my dinner place before work all the time.. haha
Amazing tacos!!! Super friendly staff. This was our first visit but we will be back!
Yummy love the food here wouldnt have went if it wasnt for my boyfriend A. Brenner who also loves the food we definitely are sharing our comments with friends in hopes to help them become more successful an well known in the bay city area.
Honestly its a 3.8 star location. Portion sizes are small to regular and prices are kinda steep. I hope they can become better and adjust their menu, bay city needs more good mexican restaurants
Very,very good food ,friendly people.couple glitzes, ordered shredded beef enchiladas but got shredded chicken which were better than any I have had and our big salsa container leaked all over our take out boxes so didnt have much of that.but highly suggest everyone support this business, very good food
Food was luke warm right out the kitchen bland in flavor carne asada was just chopped flank steak no seasoning half my burritos meat is chewy and over cooked 3rd time trying and my last unfortunately tex mex just as close and better pricedAnd they actually give you more then a baby cup of salsa for a burrito taco and bag of chips
Always hot , fresh and friendly services …. Food is delicious!
Some of the best Mexican food Ive had in the state. I need to try everything.
Very friendly staff and extremely delicious.
Wife and I were told that this was the taco spot in Bay City and well..... Everyone was right.The food is spot on from their fresh made flour tortillas to their flavorfully marinated meats!We both shared a steak fajitas meal and also tried their traditional Taco along with the Al Pastor. Wholly tastesation all around. The fajitas were delicious to say the least. The tacos were great and crunchy, but that Al Pastor left something for your taste buds to scream more!Everything was truly delicious all the way down to their rice and beans. The Pico was fresh and so pleasing with wonderful hints of cilantro throughout.Only hang up of anything of the entire experience was the juicy container with our fajita meat and peppers. Just something to consider if one is going to attempt to eat from the container on the go maybe.Will be making this establishment @ZacaTacos our go to for traditional Hispanic dishes that are next level on the epic taste scale.
Absolutely delicious and well priced. Loved it so much last night that were ordering again tonight! I think we need to try everything on the menu!
Real, authentic, Mexican food. Better than the chain restaurants, and the most easy-going service you could ask for at prices you cant complain about. Youre surely missing out if youre passing up on this mexican grill.
Had the Zacatacos. Best tacos I’ve ever had. We ordered right at 11am when they opened and there was no wait. The staff/owners were nice and friendly. All around good experience!
Authentic mexican music playing in the kitchen!!!!! Need I say more😍😍😍😍❤.
Great food! Great Flavor! I have had their delicious food about 9 times since they opened in May. New favorite!
Best tostadas in town. Do yourself a favor and order a chili relleno burrito. And then order an extra for later because youll be mad at yourself if you dont. This place has my Texan stamp of approval as far as flavor and friendliness is concerned. Welcome to the neighborhood, Zacatacos!
Try the birria tacos. You wont be disappointed!
1st time absolutely wonderful, we will be going here often. Best Mexican food in Bay City, Mi. and Tri city area.
The best burritos in the Tri- City Area the carne Asda is the best!!!!!~
LOVE the food, the takeout containers not so much. The cardboard containers are totally soggy & limp by the time you get home. Please switch to plastic recyclable containers!
Food does not disappoint. Best Mexican food around!!
It was so good! Greetings from Germany
Best Mexican food Ive ever had. Will be back for sure.
Good food but terrible portions ... Ive said something but they dont seem to care obviously
Place is nice, food is incredible. Have been in many restaurants in bay city, and the food here was definitely the best. Service is great.
I have heard such good things about this place. I’ve tried to call several times earlier today for lunch and again for dinner - and the phone number goes straight to a recording that states “a voice mail box has not been set up” - disappointing.
Had the taco bowl. Was so delicious
So delicious and fresh, every time I visit. Best salsa in the city. Thanks for the vegan option!
Large portions, and super friendly service with a local feel makes this my favorite Mexican menued takeout restaurant in our little town.
We went to have a quick lunch and were floored by how fresh, authentic and expertly prepared the food was. Their food is as fine as in Mexico City and Guadalajara.
You can’t find better Mexican food in bay city or Saginaw
We wanted to try something different so we decided on Zacatacos which was pretty good and everyone was happy.
The food is wonderful and served quickly, one of the best Mexican places in the area. Highly recommend this place.
Amazing food, kind staff and did I mention...... amazing food! I would recommend this spot before any other Mexican food spot in the area.
Amazing food! Hands down the best Mexican food in the area. You gotta try the carne asada fry burrito!
Was not bad the chicken n ground beef tacos were great !! Fast takeout about 10 minutes if they not busy
Everything on the menu is fantastic!! Best Mexican food by far it the area!!
I love this place, delicious food.
1st time definitely will be back. Small tables for eat in would be a good upgrade but there is a space restriction. Wish them all the luck. One word is Yum!.
If youre looking for quick, delicious, and affordable, look no further!Everything Ive had here has been absolutely great, and the location is super convenient as well.
Great atmosphere and service. Food is always delicious. Food prices are very fair.
Super good food! I didnt realize that they had a chile relleno burritoand was very sad I didnt order that :(the food was excellent

2022-06-09Absolutely amazing authentic food! Chips are freshly made every day, salsa is to die for, and every single taco is delicious.This place is definitely one of Bay City’s gems.
Review №2
2022-03-21Why did we not know about this place?! Its AMAZING!! The staff was so courteous and THE FOOD!!! Being a transplant here from NM, THIS is definately the closest thing to AUTHENTIC Mexican in this area. Everything we had was prepared fresh and to order!I recommend this place for casual and family dinning. The dinning room is very clean and the decor is cute. They have high chairs for children. The only thing I wish they had was a soda fountain...BUT I didnt mind the can and bottle pop, just because the food was MUY DELICIOSO!!KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB, best wishes for MUCH success! We will be back, FOR SURE!

2022-03-12This place was amazing! It was my first time here and the food was incredible. Great portions, affordable prices, and incredible flavors. Highly recommend the birria tacos and steak quesadilla. The employees provided excellent service and even gave us free bottled water. We will definitely come here again!!

2022-03-15Super authentic and fresh Mexican food! Everything was prepared well and quickly. I am always on the lookout for new Mexican restaurants and this is going to be one of my new regular go-tos! The Carne Asada Tacos were delicious and the salsa was full of flavor.

2022-03-28I have found my new favorite restaurant! 🤤 Everything was absolutely outstanding. Flavors were true and authentic, incredibly mouth watering. I must say though I am a huge fan of guacamole and theirs is the BEST guacamole that I have ever had! Not to mention their customer service is impeccable as well! Definitely going to be my go-to spot for any type of food from now on! If youre looking for real authentic Mexican food youve came to the right place! ♥️ Thanks Zacatacos for being so damn delicious 🥰 untill next time!

2022-04-07Great, authentic Mexican fare. Having traveled and enjoyed the cuisine in Mexico many times, I can start that this is the real thing.Tiny place with 5 or 6 tables. Prepare to stand in line at lunchtime as this place is no longer a secret. We eat here frequently!
Review №7
2022-05-08Despite mishap where they didnt take name over the phone and didnt have order ready, 5 stars!! Food is AMAZING and lady at the counter was dealing with another woman that did not have an order ready too. She handled it like a champ! I was very impressed with portion size and pricing. Food is so good!!
Review №8
2022-06-14The food here is honestly just so amazing. Everything was heavenly and the people that work here are wholesome and friendly. I had been searching for good authentic Mexican food for a while and left so happy after eating here. Please come and try their food!
Review №9
2021-07-25Fabulous! Its the real thing! Authentic Mexican cuisine, very generous portions, divine! I ordered the Carne Asada (beef) tacos and an entree of Rice, Beans, and Carnitas (pork). The entree came with guacamole, salad, chips, and more. It felt like being in Mexico! Wonderful addition to Bay City.

2022-06-25I got the Zacatacs. They were delicious and came out quickly. My granddaughter got the taco supreme dinner and she said they were very good. The service was great. The prices are compatible with other restaurants.
