Donkey Taqueria

Located in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, Donkey Taqueria is a great spot for delicious tacos, margaritas, and other Mexican specialties. We highly recommend starting with the house made Salsa De Queso with chips—this is perfect to share with a date or friends! The atmosphere is colorful and festive, and the outdoor patio is a great place to relax and enjoy the weather.

Love their food but want to celebrate privately with family or friends? No worries! They have delicious catering services year round.
