Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Grand Rapids, Michigan
What Makes El Globo Restaurant Different?
El Globo has been serving Grand Rapids with authentic Jalisco-style Mexican food since 2004. Founded by Evangelina Abundis and Oswaldo Córdova, every dish reflects the real flavors of Jalisco, Mexico – made fresh, served with pride, and shared like family.
What started as a small shop serving coffee, ice treats, and traditional Mexican snacks has grown into two full-service restaurant locations, a food truck, and a catering division that serves Grand Rapids and beyond. Over 20 years later, the Córdova family is still behind the counter – their children now carrying forward the same dedication that built this restaurant from the ground up. With over 680 Google reviews and a 4.4–4.5 star rating across both locations, El Globo has earned its place as one of Grand Rapids’ most trusted Mexican restaurants.
Comida Tapatía · Jalisco, México
What Does El Globo Restaurant Serve?
El Globo specializes in authentic Tapatia cuisine from Jalisco, Mexico – including Birria, Torta Ahogada, Lengua Tacos, Platillo De Birria, Flautas, Sopes, and more. Breakfast is served too, with chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and fresh coffee.
From the rich, slow-cooked depth of Birria De Chivo to the bold, satisfying crunch of Tacos Dorados Tapatios – the menu at El Globo is built around dishes that take time, skill, and tradition to get right. Prices range from $5 to $24, making it the kind of place where the whole family eats well without breaking the bank.
