The Taste of Bay City

My husband chose this place for the puffy tacos and the chips and salsa. Unfortunately none of the food was up to our expectations, although still edible. The chips and salsa was probably the best thing we had. The puffy tacos weren't even crispy, the shredded beef was not flavorful and wet. I had the enchiladas and it honestly reminded me of the freezer meal ones they sell in the store. The side of rice and beans that I ended up ordering extra with the enchilada special for the day, was also lacking in flavor & dry. I was irritated I had paid $4 each for each side due to quality issues. I feel like this place has the opportunity to do better but it just seemed like the cook didn't care and it showed in the food. Our service however was great. Hope they can turn it around for the best.

I had my daughter's sweet 16th birthday party that I had catered from here they were late coming to bring the food, no utensils had to go to the dollar store to get serving items that should have come with this catering then when we got into the meat a 1/2 sheet pan of burger was raw. I then called spoke with Mandi she apologized and offered a 50.00 credit she wouldnt refund the money to my original payment that was her only suggestion so i took it. I had called several times to redeem my credit with no call back (they say today they had my wrong number) since they dont keep good records of refunds noone at the desk knew about this issue i was having any time I called. Then went today in person to redeem said refund now she is stating she doesn't recall this incident she only keeps a file

I came here to try the birria tacos especially. I ordered the weekly special which had 3 birria tacos and beans & rice. The birria tacos were excellent - nice crispy tacos, the beef was tasty and there was both melted mozzarella and queso fresco both which was above average. The consommé was very good as well with plenty of onions & cilantro. The rice and beans were average but the portions were large. My companion has a lot of food restrictions but was able to enjoy the fries along with a white queso. I will be back to try the flaco tacos or more of the birria (they also serve the ramen version which I have yet to try myself but seems to be a popular variation$.

The tamales are very small and came out luke warm, floating in a thin layer of water in the box. I had to return the enchilada due to a hole being burnt in the side of the box. The only thing that was semi ok were the deep fried Oreos

We've been here a few times. We love the authentic food here. I ordered the 3 Tostada dinner with Beans and Rice. Let me tell you our dinner was delicious! You get a good portion for what you order. We ended up taking ours to go.
