  • “ Lansing’s BEST kept little secret is FAMOUS TACO and it’s only weakness is it’s location which is changing in about a month from now. Locally owned and operated, Famous Taco prides itself on authentic Mexican Cuisine without the need for a passport! I honestly can say that I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED and heartily recommend this place! My was taken immediately and I was served within 5 minutes!!! I’m CERTAIN that when I return in August to their new location just South of WAVERLY & ST. JOE, their atmosphere Star Rating will also be a “5” just like their food and service!! P.S. - Discerning eyes will undoubtedly notice that my burrito has already been nibbled on prior to the pic. Sorry - I just COULDN’T RESIST!!! ”

    Miles T. Fitzpatrick
  • “ Love the food! I only gave a 4 star, for food, because I ordered the "deluxe" nachos to go, then got them home and there was no lettuce or tomato on them. I was quite disappointed. So, either the deluxe do not come with lettuce and tomato, or they forgot to add it. Either case is sad. They were still exceptional with the salsa and guac!! Employees are all friendly and to-go service was quick! ”

    Christina Buckmaster
  • “ This was our first time visiting Famous Taco at their new Waverly location. Service was phenomenal and food was amazing! 10/10 Would recommend! ”

    Chelsea Tucker
  • “ My favorite spot for Mexican food besides my own kitchen! Pictured today is the full order of Nachos Deluxe with jalapenos on the side, #18 Combo platter, and cheese enchilada(extra cheese) dinner ”

    Kristal N
  • “ I heard from my children that I should try this place. New to the area I did. Wow! The delicious meal I had hit the spot! Nacho deluxe was just right for a big guy like myself. I'll be back! ”
