F'n K Tacos Rockford, MI
2026 EatGR Taco Throwdown! Judge's Notes:
F'n K Tacos - Traditional
Carne Asada- Home made corn tortilla, grilled chopped steak, cilantro, onion, lime.
A simple traditional style taco, packed with juicy, tender grilled steak, fresh cilantro, and onion. The steak had a great sear, and was nicely seasoned. The cilantro, lime and onion added a nice crisp brightness.
Machaca Beef- Home made corn tortilla fried till crispy, slow cooked shredded beef & shredded cheese served Frank's way- cabbage, onion, cilantro, crema.
This was a tender taco, stuffed with shredded beef that had been cooked in spices, tomatoes and onions. Great flavor, juiciness and melt in your mouthness. 😄 Served Frank's way. The crispy shell added a nice texture balance.
Pork Barbacoa- Fried cheese shell and home made corn tortilla (double decker), slow cooked pork, served Frank's way.
This was certainly a new kind of taco for me. A cheese lover's dream! The slow cooked pork was rich, flavorful, savory, melty, and tender. The cheese added a nice saltiness and creamy element. The cabbage cilantro and onion were much appreciated, giving a crunch factor and some freshness to cut through the richness and creaminess of the meat and cheese.
They marinate all of their meats in house, make all of their sauces and salsas fresh, and of course, their corn tortillas are made almost daily, in house.
Located in the heart of Rockford, this tiny taco joint is serving up big flavors! They do have a covered patio for outdoor dining, and a small seating area in the front of the restaurant. Check them out if you haven't already! #tacos #mexicanfood #Michigan #foodie #yummy
