I couldn't decide between that and the pork in green sauce, so the manager brought me some pork. It was great also, with a slight tangy aftertaste that was delightful.

It was a favorite lunch spot of locals as they came in; the staff greeted many of them by name and knew their favorite drinks without them having to order. They had a large table in the back for groups, and a landscaping crew came in and they could gather in the back and have lunch together! We ordered from the lunch menu and received portions that were extremely large for lunch. I had to pack my taco up to go. Because I could not even start it, I was stuffed with the stuffed pepper. We will be back; it was a nice change-up, fast and friendly service with good food and lunch specials starting at $8.99.

Instead of opting for fast food we stopped at El Puerto for lunch and we're not disappointed. They had several lunch specials which were great value for your money.

I ordered the Street Tacos (not what they were called here but what I normally call them) absolutely perfect! The steak was moist & delicious, the salsa, lime, cilantro & onions all perfect together. I ate 2 & have one for lunch tomorrow. Hubby had the chicken enchiladas with beans. He was asked if he wanted salsa & he replied no, along with no cheese (allergies) his plate came out plain (as photo shows) instead of correcting this he mixed his beans over the top & enjoyed. (He wasn't disappointed) Our friend had the steak fajitas & they were delicious, hot, spicy & just delicious. Yes, I had a bite, but he tried mine too & decided that's what he's getting next time! My peach margarita was peachy deliciousness what a perfect blend of peach & tequila. Our server was perfectly knowledgeable & courteous, checking on us frequently. We got there just as dinner was starting (between 530-600) the restaurant started filling up but the atmosphere wasn't crowded or loud perfect for table side conversations. Priced right at under $55 for 3 people. What a wonderful little gem in small town America. Definitely a must on your Kansas journey.

I was craving mexican food, to be specific Carnitas. Carnitas are my go to, my favorite. I've…read morebecome an expert (not really). La Casa is in the old part of town and the parking on the street was convienent. It was very clear that this was a family run place, there were a few kids running around. I asked the nice lady who sat me if Carnitas were an option. When she returned she said that Yes, I could order Carnitas. It did not take long at all for my food to arrive. The plate was HOT. The drink selection was slim and I asked for Ice tea. The tea was watered down and didn't taste good at all. The pork was ok, fatty and kind of dry and tough. The rice and beans were hot, but bland. The tortillas were absolutely delicious and the service was good. I really like to support small family run businesses and will continue to do so. I may just skip this one the next time I'm in town.

Note: The waiter did me a big personal favor, altruistically, at what appeared to be the end of his shift. He didn't make that known, but I later learned. Only small town hospitality would accommodate us in such a caring manner. The food was excellent. Great salsa, chips and they even cut up an entire avocado at my request since my diet was temporarily restricted. That is in addition to a big favor that our waiter did for me, an out-of-towner. Thank you for serving my aunt, a native Kansan and long-time Southern California resident, and me. I will go back just to visit this place! Caveat: Please don't be in a rush when you are seated. The quality cuisine is well worth waiting for its superb preparation and presentation beyond anything either of us have yet to experience in bustling San Diego or Los Angeles. The waiters are merely (and courteously, may I add) busy helping customers like you, so please know they aren't being rude or anything like that. Just communicate directly with them. We were in a pretty big hurry, but this isn't a fast-food joint. Next time, I plan accordingly. I suggest you overlook any naysayer with conspicuously missing photos. This isn't Americanized but authentic Mexican cuisine. Clientele who have traveled outside of the Missouri State Fair will recognize and appreciate this high quality food. Great food, great company, fun atmosphere. TIP: A great stop on the way to or from The World's Biggest Ball of Twine. This review is all in my opinion only. The owner has obviously put a great deal of effort into making this a unique dining experience for diners of all ages and of all walks of life to enjoy. Enjoy life by eating here!

My Food: Enchiladas, Beans and The Rice missed the mark completely. My Sons Food: Carnitas was tough and unflavorful. The beans were overly lard heavy and the rice was crunchy. Service: Satasfactory "C" Ambiance: Clean but nothing special. There were 4 servers just standing around a table chatting. Granted the place wasn't very busy but at 5pm I would think there would be something to do other than watch us and the table next to us eat.
