Plaza Mariachi in Parkville has become one of our go-tos when we want quick, yummy mexican food + margaritas. The chips and salsa (always the first impression) are always good. The food never disappoints; we especially love the Popeyes enchilada and the chimichanga. The margaritas are always good too. Service is fast, friendly, and attentive, which makes every visit easy and enjoyable. read more

Tried this place for the first time last night; it was surprisingly good. Service was friendly, food tasted delicious, with decent portion sizes. Chips and salsa were perfect. The restaurant appeared to be run very well; the manager was visible and working and staff were motivated and busy. Drink prices seemed high, $8.99 for a small strawberry daiquiri, but I don't drink that much so maybe it's not. That being said, I would go back. read more

Burritos are great. I think I had the catering ones they were awesome. I've ate in here too and the atmosphere can be hit or miss but the food is good. read more

This place offers a delightful combination of delectable cuisine and an enjoyable ambiance. It's a favorite spot for us for both lunch and dinner. The tacos are bursting with flavor, and the churros are simply irresistible. They have a large dining area for individuals and groups. read more

Attended an X-Mas arts and crafts market in the courtyard behind Plaza Mariachi and decided to grab some lunch while we here. Th restaurant has two dining areas with a large bar included in one and a courtyard for outside dining on warmer days. The space is fairly large and fairly boring. My wife ordered the chili rellano of the lunch menu and enjoyed it, it was certainly 'rellanoed" because a flood of cheese covered the plate when she cut into it. I had a taste and demanded another. My Quesadilla Especial was filled with chorizo, beans, cheese and pico. It was the smallest and thickest quesadilla I've ever encountered. The taste was there but the execution was poor. The cheese really needs to hold the ingredients together.inside a quesadilla to make it work - they could have taken some of my wifes cheese and put it on here. This was more like a large flour shelled taco. Small quesadilla or large taco? Hmmm. The poster child for Yelp's 3 star rating system...OK. read more

We recently dined at Char Bar and noticed Plaza Mariachi in the same development. Since we love to support local restaurants, we decided to give it a try this past Tuesday. Although many other Yelpers have given this restaurant five star reviews, we left underwhelmed. When we were seated, there was a bowl of warm chips and a small decanter of cold salsa. We ordered the white cheese queso to start and it was runny. The house margaritas were very common, nothing special. My wife ordered three tacos, that looked great, but were bland and only slightly warm. My shrimp dish got a passing grade. Literally everything comes out fast, which makes one wonder how much is prepared fresh for each customer. The restaurant has an extensive menu of starters and entrees. We enjoyed our server and her help. read more

Great Mexican restaurant! The food was amazing and the service was perfect. The enchiladas were super tasty and the street taco platter was huge and delicious! Ice cold Pepsi on tap and many other yummy drinks to choose from. The tres leche dessert is not to be missed either! Do yourself a favor and try this place out. We'll be back many times I am sure! read more

I love supporting local restaurants, I especially love it when these restaurants are new to the public. These guys just opened in the Parkville area and we needed additional restaurants in our neighborhood. We had the quesadillas and nachos, they did a great job with both. We also went on a Saturday night and they did a great job of keeping up with the heavy flow of customers through their doors. My only real complaint was the noise. there is a lot of echo going on with all the conversations being had. it was kind of hard to have a conversation of our own. I think I will be back for takeout for sure. read more

I liked this place and will be back. I had the pollo Michoacán and it was very flavorful. Chips and salsa (salsa was ok). My fiancé had the street tacos (one of each) and he said didn't take as authentic Mexican however they were good. The restaurant has a good ambiance. Servers were friendly and they turn tables pretty quick. The restaurant is located in a new, trendy are with a great brewery right across the parking. I will come back. read more

First time here and I think I found my new favorite spot. This place definitely needs some more exposure so that it can survive in this newly developed area of town. Everything is clean and new. Super friendly and great service. Quick service. The food had a lot of good flavor and you can see by the lettuce and tomato that everything is chopped fresh daily. Highly recommend stopping in when you're on the northwest side of town. I know that I will be back. read more

We love the location and we love the margaritas but this restaurant doesn't offer anything for vegetarian eaters.

Visited this restaurant for the first time on a Tuesday evening. I got the burrito Sancho to go. The staff was very pleasant and kind. The restaurant atmosphere is bland. I knew immediately the food was not going to be good when it took five minutes for it to arrive. This means the food sits in warming bins. It tasted like it. The pork was very chewy. My jaw got a work out. The price was very reasonable. However, I would prefer to pay more and wait longer for freshly made food. Sorry to post. This one is not worth the effort to even post pics. If you are in the mood for modestly priced, highly mediocre Mexican food. This is the place. There is way too much competition in this town to preform food at this level. The kitchen manager should know better. read more

I strongly encourage you [my reader], to take the words of the less than five stars reviews, very lightly. This is an amazing family-owned Resturant. Yes, they are still building character and environment, but the place is always busy and clean. For those who do not like queso blanco, that is thin, you are crazy! Their queso is thin with a hint of spice. It's always hot and delicious. This is a strong must. I always order a Mexican Flower [this is essentially a sangria frozen margarita swirl] but do not drink it if you are driving ‍[it's not pictured bc I was too ‍‍ to take one]. They typically have very good deals on all their alcohol selection. Occasionally, some of the servers are "lacking" in the personality department, but the taste of the food makes up for it. Pretty much everything is good on this menu, I recommend you try it. read more

Had a burrito had hair in the food . They never said sorry or anything. The manager never even came over to apologize. So what is going on. The server only said two words to use . Just dropped off the new food and left. Need to train the staff. read more

Definitely a hidden gem! Food and service is always good. People are super friendly and generous. Favorite thing to get here is the fried chicken tacos w a side of sour cream. read more

Ate here on Cinco De Mayo. The place was very busy! Patio seating outside was very nice, and shaded. Inside is quite loud, so I'd say take the patio space. Margarita was good, but the steak street tacos were delicious! Husband ordered the plaza burrito and said it was great. Our server was overly accommodating and was a good experience. read more

Just moved here from OKC and this is the local Mexican Restaurant near my house. Very good food and the place seems to stay packed all weekend. Very good sign. So far I've been twice and got the same thing both times. It was excellent each time. I don't recall the dish name, but it's basically rice with meat and cheese. Very flavorful and a large portion. I judge all Mexican restaurants by the salsa, the rice, and beans. This one is legit. read more

I have to highlight that the house margaritas might be the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant! They don't use a ton of the standard mixer and is so delicious! The food was also great! I didn't grab a picture but I ordered the street tacos and would highly recommend. If you go on a Friday or Saturday evening, sit on the patio to enjoy live music at creekside! read more

The food is good, chips are thin and crispy, salsa is tasty. I ordered a burrito, my wife ordered the fried tacos, and we both enjoyed our meal. I have two issued; our meals were brought out 7 minutes apart, and it is extremely noisy. I turned off my hearing aides and it was still loud. The place was about half full. They are very disorganized. I wish them well but because of the noise, it's not for me. I love to support local places. read more

Quick and friendly service. Nice atmosphere with outdoor seating. Food came quickly and was delicious. Had the street tacos and the giant Mariachi burrito. Burrito had some heat but wasn't too spicy. Standard chips and salsa and house margarita hit the spot too. read more

Solid Tex-mex food. It's not going to blow you away, but will do the job if you're wanting typical Mexican American food. The drinks were great and patio outside is very nice. The broader creekside infield area often has music or other events. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

We decided to try a new place for National Margarita Day! Unfortunately they couldn't make skinny margaritas. We sat in the bar and our service was amazing! I didn't get a photo of our nachos but they were delicious! They had nice chunks of fresh avocado and roasted fresh jalapeño. The chips were light and crispy and the salsa was good. I ordered some hot sauce to mix in to give it more of a kick. I liked the fried taco with fresh pico on the top. I definitely prefer a little more seasoning on my ground beef. I will skip the enchilada next time. Once again thought it was pretty bland. I will return and try the server recommended burrito at some point in hopes of raising my stars. read more

Food was very good. I had the 4 street tacos (one of each) with black beans. The black beans were served in a tiny little tortilla shell topped with shredded cheese. Really cute presentation. Now for the tacos, my fav was the Al pastor while not the best I've had it was good. The carnitas were also very tasty with a crispy texture. The chicken and steak were good, but rather bland. The highlight of this dish were the two sauces served with the tacos a green and orange. Both with some great flavor and just the right amount of heat. Next up dessert....the flan was amazing and different more fluffy and cake like than the normal custard variety. The atmosphere was great for families but I'm anxious to go back and check out the patio in warmer weather. read more

One of very few places i go often. If you come here see if their doing there newest dish which is so nee they haven't put a final name on it, but its a boiled meat and dipping sauce which right not is in taco form, with loads of cheese snd meat in a taco , sides of cilantro, onion, rice, green sauce. And of course the dipping sauce, which is like getting a french dip sandwich on steroids They have plans to try it out as a appetizer as well, maybe even a burrito style I cant see it going bad no matter how they style it. read more

The BEST fajitas I've had in KC. Give this place a try great food options and friendly service. read more

Food, service and timeliness are always fantastic! We are weekly regulars! The queso barria tacos are to die for if you want something authentic. Also has a wonderful patio that look's out over the creekside commons and on summer nights with live music is a lot of fun! read more

One of my favorite places to go for mexican food. Great food and service. So far I have never been dissapointed at everything I have tried. Building is kind of cold though. Recommend taking a jacket with you unless they have changed that. read more

Food is fresh and so much flavor. The service was amazing. The place is beautiful so Mexican I love it!

We attempted to dine here for lunch on Tuesday, October15. We were wanting to order the Taco Tuesday special 3 tacos for $5.49. Our waiter/server advised us there was no such special pricing for tacos. The only special deals were on drinks. We tried to explain that we saw this deal on the restaurant's website. We decided not to dine here for lunch because we just did not feel very welcome here. read more

Well I will say after two visits I gotta tell Yelp world about this place. They are new but there are no opening jitters this place gets packed and still is on top of it. I usually give a 4 star because 5 means there is no room for improvement. first visit I had the Alambre special. it was excellent. second trip I had the Burrito Le Parrilla. It to was HOT fresh and brought in the hot pan to the table with the sizzling cheese sauce still sizzling, I actually heard others say WHAT is that!. I knew I was doomed to have to take some home. I did eat over half of it, honestly I was hungry for dinner and this conquered me. the shrimp in this burrito is not your itty bitty popcorn shrimp. there are nice sized shrimp in this. I will say the service is not a 5 star it does need a bit of awareness of the table needs. the server didn't disappear she was just busy busy I could tell that. and you can't beat the price. very reasonable. Will I be back...... Heck Yeah! Next time pictures read more

We are Mexican food lovers and always looking for new places to try locally. This place is right up the street from our neighborhood so we were exited for it to open. To say it was a disappointment is an understatement. The meals were just okay.... But service was super slow and awkward... they strung along delivery of the dishes so it was awkward at the table. Husband finished almost his entire meal before the last dish arrived. And the chips are NASTY and tasted rancid and burnt... the oils they cook them in must have gone bad or something. We tried it twice and same experience. I really hope they've improved.. might give another try since I see some other decent reviews... but I can't still taste that aftertaste of those nasty chips. read more

We love Mexican food but hate to admit that we prefer it not be super authentic. I really judge a place by the chips/salsa, rice and margs. We had a great first impression and loved the chips (thin and crispy) and salsa (fresh and flavorful). We also were very pleased and totally enjoyed the food and the top-shelf margarita was also very good. I had the Plato Mariachi, which was delicious, but forgot to take a picture until it was half gone. My husband had taco-Tuesday crispy tacos and really liked them. Great location and I hope it thrives in this neighborhood! read more

This place was a REAL disappointment. After a wait that was a lot longer than it had to be, we were seated at a stained table where we again were offered the chance to wait for something ... anything ... to happen. Then someone dropped off a basket of chips (probably the best part of the meal) and a 6 ounce bottle of "salsa". Then more waiting, till our order taker paused long enough to get our drink requests, dashing away before we had a chance to order the cheese dip. We should have left it at that, but we tried again to order the dip when he brought the drinks. We succeeded that time, and really wished we hadn't. That which was brought was more "cheese-like, bland, tasteless, thin white broth" than anything else. We ordered three relatively uncomplicated dishes ... two entree salads and a 2 item combination plate. Time passed and passed and passed and my salad was delivered. Time passed and passed and passed and ... well, you get my drift ... until I asked the order taker (on one of his rare swings by our table) if he could possibly check on the status of the two missing dinners. He left. He did not return with an answer. You're getting tired of reading this and I'm tired of writing. The second entree arrived 3-4 minutes later, and the final one 6-8 minutes after that. None of the entrees was worth the wait ... OR the cost. There was literally nothing about tonight's experience that in any way makes any of us want to return. So we won't. A 1star experience, bumped to 2 by decent chips. read more

The corn tortillas were rubbery and under cooked so the enchiladas I ordered were terrible. Our server was nice and checked in with us a couple of times and cleared the table at the appropriate times but everyone else that works here seemed to be preoccupied with their phones or wandering around aimlessly. The person that checked us out seemed to be in an argument with the host and argued between themselves instead of running my credit card so I could leave. The agua frescas are not made in house they come from a bottle and not made from scratch. I was also not impressed with the salsa and chips. Chips were flavorless not warm and salsa was also bland. It was very loud in the restaurant and we could not talk to each other. I would not visit again. read more

Good portions. Prices are more than fair. Tamales were quite good. The beef burrito just disappeared off my brother's plate. I had the Yucatán shrimp over rice with a sauce on top. Fine while it was hot as cooled the rice became greasy. Kinda a bummer. Over all solid 3.5 read more

Another great lunch! Beautiful customer service and I just watched them give a whole table of first responders lunch on the house!
