Sun is Setting on West Michigan’s Last Stan’s Tacos – New Restaurant to Move In

It's time to say goodbye to West Michigan's last remaining Stan's Tacos restaurant.

At one point, Stan's Tacos seemed poised to keep expanding in West Michigan. The first restaurant promising fresh food and beach vibes opened in Standale back in 2018.

In addition to tacos, Stan's served up chips and dip, nachos, burritos, quesadillas, bowls, margaritas, and more. The parent company, Meritage Hospitality Group, eventually opened locations in Grand Haven and downtown Grand Rapids. Those restaurants have both since closed.

Now, the original Stan's Tacos at 355 Wilson Ave. near Lake Michigan Drive in Walker’s Standale neighborhood is set to close. However, we do know a new restaurant will open up in its place.

News of the closure was shared to Facebook on March 20. The restaurant's last day will be April 1:

Meritage Hospitality group is bringing another one of their concepts to Standale: Morning Belle, a brunch eatery.
