MANISTEE TWP. — Ana Olson believes that “everyone loves Mexican food,” and as the owner of a new Mexican restaurant near Manistee, she’s counting on it.
Taqueria Diablo held its soft opening at the Little River Casino Resort on Saturday.
“I’ve been traveling the world for years and there hasn’t been a place that I have gone that has no Mexican restaurant,” Olson said. “Everywhere, they either have a Mexican restaurant or a place that sells margaritas — the culture, in general, travels.”
Taqueria Diablos plans to host its soft opening at the Little River Casino Resort on Saturday.
Scott Fraley/News AdvocateOlson, who also owns Los Amigos Tequila Bar and Grill, in Muskegon, said that diners should expect authentic Mexican food from her restaurant.
As a taqueria, Olson said that her new restaurant specializes in making tacos, but she also recommends that visitors to the casino try Diablos’ tortas — a kind of sandwich.
“Taqueria means they mostly sell tacos and they will be something really traditional that you will find south, through the border,” she said. “We are going to have traditional Mexican dishes that are more like finger foods … we will have nachos, burritos — kind of food that is easy on the go.”
Taqueria Diablo joins Da J Wok and Sparks BBQ as the third vendor at the casino’s Big Lake Dining area.
“I feel like we’ve got some great options here, that not only are for our guests, but also for the community,” said Jodi Walter, the casino resort’s director of food and beverage.
Once home to a popular buffet, the area was transformed into more of a food court style venue in 2020.
“We recognize that there are people out there that think that we should have the buffet, but, given the current state of affairs in our world, it just was not something that we really felt was going to be conducive to the safety and security of the people that come here,” Walter said.
Big Lake Dining, she said, was aimed at creating a food court style experience, but with higher quality food from established vendors like Olson.

Scott Fraley/News Advocate“I am so super grateful (for) Little River Casino,” said Olson. “They have done above and beyond to ensure that we not only hit our marks, but they are just putting all of it forward to make the restaurant functional.”
Olson said she planned the soft opening to test the market before officially opening. In the future, she said she planned on having a delivery option for Manistee customers.
Currently, Taqueria Diablos is open from noon to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; noon to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
