Downtown Aurora just picked up a new spot for serious taco fans. Mich Big Taco, a Mexican restaurant on North Broadway, opened this week with a tight focus on handmade tortillas, boldly seasoned meats, and fresh salsas. The family-run storefront leans into passed-down recipes and a faith-tinged backstory while turning out tacos, quesabirrias, and other staples into the evening, adding one more option to an already busy downtown dining scene.
Handmade tortillas and family recipes
The restaurant’s website leans hard into the basics, promising “hand made tortillas, perfectly seasoned meats, and salsas made fresh,” and describes the menu as reflecting the “heart and soul” of the owners’ Mexican heritage, according to Mich Big Taco. The spot is framed as a family-driven operation that mixes tradition with a casual, order-at-the-counter setup, with tacos and quesabirria clearly taking center stage.
Weekday deals and hours
A local dining listing lays out the early game plan for regulars: Taco Tuesday and a quesabirrias Wednesday deal headline the weekday specials, and hours run from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., positioning Mich Big Taco as a convenient after-work option for people in the downtown area, per Your Voice Aurora. That same listing flags dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian choices at the counter, and notes that those midweek specials are aimed at keeping business humming during the workweek.
Early buzz from locals
So far, the online chatter is leaning positive. Early customer posts on mapping and delivery platforms single out the asada, al pasto,r and quesadilla for their flavor and portion size. Multiple favorable comments and the restaurant’s presence on delivery apps show up in listings on MapQuest and DoorDash. Reviewers tend to praise the seasoning and generous servings, while occasionally noting that prices land slightly higher than some nearby taquerias.
Where to go
Mich Big Taco sits at 31 N. Broadway in downtown Aurora, and a short city-produced Facebook reel offers a quick peek at the storefront and a few menu highlights, according to the City of Aurora Facebook reel. The restaurant also accepts online orders through its website and appears on delivery apps for takeout and delivery, per Mich Big Taco.
