    birria burrito
    Danielle S.

    One of the best birria burritos ever! The meat was perfectly cooked with so much flavor, cheese, rice, guacamole, and peppers it was fully loaded and it was huge I could only finish the first one at the restaurant the service was great, and we took our time because it was our first time there but the food came out so fast and fresh. It's a smaller space, and maybe no more than 15 people can sit and eat, this place has high reviews for a reason.

    Horrible service. I ordered delivery straight from their resturaunt and they didn't have bread to make my sons torta. It was $13 and I called up to get a refund and they said we are closed. I said ok but you owe me $13 for food I didn't receive and he said sorry we are closed. This is not the first time this has happened: I believe I will be filing a police report on this one

    I'm not a fan of red meat, but this dish is amazing. I'll probably call my mom and recommend that she tries this place. Unfortunately, I can't even show you the after because it's all gone.

    Liberty Burrito
    Alton B.

    I'm so pissed with the burritos we received tonight. Liberty burrito missing the shrimp, Chicago burrito add sour cream is missing. These were the worst we've ever had. Seems like kids making the food and is not the same as my previous visits. Owner needs to get a handle on making sure the food is consistently made the same.

    The food is SO GOOD. we had the birria taco and a fried chicken taco, the staff and service was so good! Great atmosphere and good music is a PLUS 10/10 recommend! Will come again

    California Burrito
    Brian R.

    Best California Burrito that I've had in Kansas City! Living in the southwest and San Diego spoiled me when it comes to inexpensive, and delicious taqueria cuisine. I've tried lots of places across the area, but none quite did the trick. I saw photos of Macarenas food on social media and it was enough to get me to make the 30 minute drive out to Liberty. I ordered the California Burrito with extra crispy fries and a Horchata to wash it down. The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked, the pico de gallo was fresh and flavorful and added a whole nother dimension to the burrito. It wouldn't be a California Burrito without guac and fries and Macarenas has a great ratio of both in each bite. Looking forward to exploring the menu and trying all the burritos.

    Macarena's fills a much needed void in the Northland / Liberty area. Although abundant in KCK and KC's Northeast, taquerias in the Northland are pretty rare - I only know of 4 others. Not quite a traditional sit-down Mexican restaurant yet miles ahead of fast food taco chains; Macarena's serves freshly made tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, nachos and enchiladas. The kitchen is in full view and the wait time is minimal. For $6; I enjoyed a large fish taco and a large Adobada taco. The fish was deep fried battered cod, crispy and hot with cabbage, onions, pico and jalapeno ranch on a flour tortilla. The Adobada was plentiful and extremely flavorful served with guacamole and pico on a corn tortilla. Kudos to Macarena's for truth in advertising, so many places serve adobada yet call it pastor. There was zero shame in this marinated pork! My only 2 complaints and they are minor - the corn tortilla does not hold up well with the juicy adobada. I would suggest ordering it in a bowl or on nachos or be prepared to eat your taco with a fork, and the small serving cups of green sauce had frozen into a jello like consistency, might need to turn the refer thermostat up a tad. Overall a great experience.

    Anaconda "Liberty" burrito  Asada, shrimp, cheese, french fries, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo (no pico for me)

    This new spot opened up in late December and is located in Liberty, Mo. First I would just like to say the staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They delivered our food to our table and brought us silverware, napkins, and each of the sauces to try. We got our food pretty quickly but we were the only ones dining in at the time. A few people had come in for to-go orders. Be prepared for limited seating if you are dining in as it is a smaller place. Now onto the food, the flavor of my burrito was on point but the red and green sauces that came on the side made it extra yummy. Every single bite was so good that it had me wishing my burrito was bigger. Will definitely be back! *I ordered the Anaconda "Liberty" Burrito

    The food here was SO good, and the staff were so polite too!! Some of the best tacos in the KC area!

    Carne adobada with beans and rice.
    Stephen L.

    Had a chance to eat at this new location after a drive across town . I have to say it was worth the drive as the food is cooked in an open grill where you see the preparation and it is fresh and tasty. I had the carne adobada, a marinated pork plate, with beans and rice. S it was very tasty. Very good seasoning and well cooked. The carne asada tacos were also good and know there's may be a wait but it will be worth it!

    Food is good but the portions are small. Small dining area and very clean. It would be nice if the also added chips and salsa to your meal.

    This was our first time coming to this Mexican restaurant, and we consider ourselves to be Mexican…read morefood snobs! Ha! We love our Mexican food! The inside of the restaurant is classic industrial, cozy, super casual, and has a fun upbeat vibe. Everyone serving in the restaurant at all different levels is very kind and friendly. When we sat down, we were brought the typical basket of tortilla chips, along with their homemade salsa... And an extra surprise was there Mini bowl of queso dip. It was creamy and yummy. The salsa wasn't as spicy as we prefer, but it was decent. Our sever took our drink rider which were margaritas. They have a very long list of all types of flavors of margaritas... Are you in the mood, this is a place to go! They also offer three different sizes in the margaritas, plus a ton of other drinks as they have a very large bar. It was a Saturday night, so It was pretty crowded, but there was not a wait for a table. Our waitress brought back our margaritas, but it took her over 35 minutes to get to our table to even take our dinner order. At least they brought us three baskets of chips to hold us over! After a little over a half hour, she came back to our table and asked us if we were still waiting for our food... We explained to her that she never actually took our dinner order to begin with. We ordered street tacos and jalepeno cream cheese ans chicken enchiladas... black beans and rice. Everything was tasty. We were starving at this point because it was almost an hour when our food arrived. She apologized for forgetting about us in between the tables served before us... It was worth it... however, we will order for take out next time. Waiting at our table and having 30 min between a margarita and a meal was too long for our liking.

    First time coming here. Very good! Really nice inside, think it used to be a pizza ranch…read more They give you a cheese dip when you sit down along with the chips and salsa so that was nice. Our server was very attentive and nice. They sang happy Birthday for my sister's birthday. The shrimp tacos dep Rio was good! Rice and beans were good too. I do want to mention that nothing in my shrimp tacos seemed seasoned. Like no pepper or anything. Shrimp was kinda bland and so were the veggies but still good. Absolutely loved the coconut margarita! Love that they put coconut around the rim too. Definitely will come back.

A server greeted us as soon as we were seated. We asked for ice water as we didn't know what beverages to order yet. The server provided us with ice water, plus chips and 2 containers of salsa. The chips and salsa were good that we had to ask for more tortilla chips. I ordered a Fajita Taco Salad with chicken, plus I asked for extra fajita vegetables and my friend ordered Chicken Fajitas. The lunch entrees were delivered to our table without delay. I specifically asked for additional grilled fajita vegetables and I even said that I would pay extra, but I did not receive what I asked for. Instead I was provided with extra black beans in the Fajita taco salad. I did not request for black beans. I did not want to return the entree to the kitchen and I just dropped the small issue as I just wanted to eat lunch. The Fajita Taco Salad was satisfactory in taste, but the black beans mixed in the taco salad made the taco shell soggy. My friend liked the Chicken Fajita lunch entree and the portion size was decent. I will go back to La Costa Mexican again to try other entrees.
