I love the chips, but the salsa is not my favorite. Although not bad it's just more runnier than I desire. Of course that is just my opinion. The $2.99 margaritas were good but small. But what do you expect for $2.99 I need to mention that there were 10 of us in our group. As for the service, we did not wait for anything. Service was great, not exceptional just great. When the food came, all 10 of us got our food within a reasonable amount of time of each other. There was not one disappointed diner at the table at the end of dinner. Our group travels all of Kansas City. Kansas trying out different Mexican restaurants every Tuesday. This one was probably a 8 out of 10 for the entire group. We were pleasantly surprised to find this hole in the wall restaurant and we'll keep it on the list as one to revisit frequently.

Mix it with their house made salsa and thank me later. Trust me. The staff make me feel like I am at home and the decor is always cute and never tacky. I love that they never seat you too close to other tables so you actually have space to talk, laugh and enjoy your meal. Bring people with you because everyone will want to go. Their salsa is the perfect balance of flavor and mild heat which is a blessing for someone like me with a very sensitive diet. Nothing here has ever upset my stomach and I can still taste all the amazing flavors. That is a rare combo. The quesabirrias are unreal. Cheesy, crispy and so good that everyone else at my table instantly regretted their choices. The tacos were crunchy and delicious too but the quesabirria is the clear winner. Every time I come here I leave full and happy. Truly a comfort food spot worth trying.

Fire. Absolutely fire. I love them because I am Hispanic and enjoy authentic cuisine but my less than Hispanic wife likes her good old American tacos and this place has BOTH. HIGHLY recommend any of their combination platters, or grill specials there isn't ONE.SINGLE.BAD.DISH. Not ONE. And if you're looking for somewhere to stop for some amazing drinks look no further. The "house" margarita is strong a delicious, oh and HUGE. Me and my family always make jokes how they're "slipping somethin in them margs" because they're just so damn strong. One or two and it's the best sleep you'll have lol! read more

This was stop #13 for me and maybe that was why the less than stellar visit? The menu states tacos are $1.65 each or a plate for $10, I asked how many came with the plate and was told 5. Since 5 x $1.65 = $8.50; I assumed that the plate would contain some beans and or rice or maybe some side garden toppings like I received at my visit to Bohemio the day prior. Nope just 5 tacos with cilantro and onions and my tab was $10 plus tax. I didn't push back or question it but just seemed really weird. The other big stumbling block was the 2 asada tacos - probably the driest and least flavorful taco's I've ever had; there wasn't even salt at the table to give it some sort of seasoning. The 2 pastor tacos were adequate and my lone chorizo was the stand-out, yet not any reason to warrant a return.
