I ordered online without issue…read more Parking on SW Boulevard is always a nightmare, especially in that little area but I was able to find a spot after a few loops around. I wish I would've had more time to look around the market because it looked like they had a lot of good stuff but I'll have to go back and see. They do have tables inside that you can eat at. The food was done at the quoted time and was accurate. The one individual I encountered was friendly. The menu was very straightforward-tacos, burritos, and a few other items, all can be customized. I had to get an order of chips and queso. I really liked their queso. It had good flavor and wasn't overly spicy. The chips were fresh and held up to the queso nicely. I'm definitely probably alway going to order this when I go. I also tried a taco with carne asada. The tacos are the street variety but they are really good sized. They don't skimp on the meat. And the carne asada was really good. No gristle or gross bits. It was chopped finely and I'd definitely order it again. I also had to try a burrito. I tried the El pastor for that and added on all the toppings-cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I also opted for extra meat because it was super cheap-like $1, so why not? Again, I was not disappointed. I did throw my burrito on the good 'ol George Foreman when I got home because they don't grill it at all and I wanted some grill marks on that tortilla. Otherwise, the el pastor was flavorful and tender and the toppings were all fresh. Per usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach so I saved half of my burrito, but it was a welcome leftover meal the following day. Definitely check them out if you're on the boulevard and want some tasty, Mexican grub.

I really love a local place and that's what Tacos El Gallo is to me. It sits along a strip of…read moreLatino/Mexican places in KCMO. We have stopped in a couple of times to grab something to go. You order at a counter and pick up at another counter. They have a bar with toppings and sauces/salsas available for you to add to your dish. There are quite a few tables inside if you want to eat in. I happened to have been there on Sundays do the shop item area has been closed but it's fun to glance at some of the wares they have for you to purchase as you wait on your order. I've had birria tacos and we usually get a bunch of tamales as well! We freeze some and eat on them later. Yum! Everything is good and authentic. Everyone we have encountered has been nice. We will definitely stop back by when we are in the area!

This is my new favorite taco place in KC, seriously I have had it 3 times in a week. Two times I…read morehave eaten at the location and once I ordered. So far either me or friends have tried all regular tacos and the burrito. All have been flavorful and delicious. The location is on the outskirts of Crossroads downtown. Since the location is shared with a brewery, it has an industrial feel both outside and inside, but don't let that stop you. You order at the counter, take a number and the food is delivered to your table - you know the drill. They have some games and the atmosphere is pretty chill. The employees are kind and personable and hey beer made on site. What more could you ask for?

So I stopped by to try this place for the first time. It looks to have some cool vibes. I didn't…read moresee a clear indicator that you're supposed to order at the bar. I just took a swing at it, picked up a menu, and stood there. It took a while for somebody to acknowledge that I was there. The person who took my order was super involved, which is cool, but they needed some help, and the person who came by to help them seemed to be rather impatient, so that was one of the first things I noticed. They do bring your food out in a reasonable amount of time, delivered to your table. You have a number that attaches to a metal wand that they give to you. So the water station is set up in the back, you get your own water, but they were out of cups. They had a really cool aesthetic to it, with like the garage door where you can see all the downtown. The only problem was that the sun went down, and it started to get rather cold. Nobody ever closed the door, but I ordered the Asada fries. 3/5 heavy on the seasoning, but not so much on the flavor, it came across. It's kind of salty. I thought it would be different than what it was. The portion size was fine, and the green sauce that they offer you on the side really makes it better. Also ordered the CHORI queso dip lied on the chorizo for the portion size. The flavor was also a three out of five. The chip that they give you with it has a nice, good texture and reasonable seasoning. My wife had the mushroom Tinga tacos. She gave him four out of five. She really enjoyed them. The atmosphere is cool. The weights staff are really cool. I'd consider coming back on a Thursday. They have this cool thing that you can try new and upcoming dishes, and then they also have brunch, so I'm thinking about giving them a second shot. If you've never been, you should come and see what your opinion is, but really cool aesthetics and great views.

Festive Atmosphere, delicious food, Attentive Service…read more We pooped in for a casual dinner on a Sunday and it was a little quiet. I hadn't been since the name change, but the food was just as good as I remember. We started with chips and salsa. I loved the poblano salsa and my friend enjoyed the habanaro ( spicy of the day ). We also shared the Fries and street corn ( both we will get every time in the future). I ordered the duck taco and the BLT taco and a side of beans. The beans and the BLT taco were awesome. The Duck taco was ok. I think I prefer flour tortillas and will order them to be made with those in the future. For dessert we got the Churros. They were hot and perfect. I requested a spoon to get all the chocolate out of the bottom.

Ordering is usually at a kiosk or with a member of the staff. It's fast casual, so set expectations that way in terms of service. Kansas City has good tacos (all over KCK especially.) I'd classify these taxos as slightly upscale, but totally worth the extra cost. The quality, care and love from the team shows. The corn tortillas are hand made with a gorgeous masa made from organic corn. You can smell and taste the difference. I usually get 3 tacos and split a side of totopos and salsa molcajete. I usually get the Al Pastor, Pescado (fried fish) and Camaron Poblano (Shrimp). The Salsas also have a wonderful luck of spiciness. Anytime I'm near the Crossroads or Downtown and want a quick bite that satisfies, you'll find me here. Just look for the "Tacos" sign with a lit up arrow!

This delicious spot is right next to or shares the same space as Kon tiki which makes it easy to order food while you are sitting at the bar. They are open late and have different options of things to try. I tried the carne asada fries with al pastor instead and the steak quesadilla. The fries were absolutely amazing.. 100% perfect! Our food came out fairly quick and more importantly piping hot. Everyone was so friendly and educational about what we could order. Omg, please if you can.. try those fries!

You're right in the KC Live space of the P&L and there are drinks aplenty, so drop in! The food is about it what you'd think, but not 'off the chain' or anything. The house salsa has a firm punch about it, and when riding atop a housemade tortilla chip, it mixes quite well. I highly recommend the Spicy Margarita which is not for the faint of heart but not so spicy that you're calling the fire brigade. Great lime base, solid tequila, and sliced jalapeños make for a refreshing and enjoyable cocktail. The Carne Asada Tacos are a good choice, maybe a touch light on the carne, however, but tasty. Pricing is what it is for the location. A couple could get in & out with a cocktail and dinner for around $60, so that's reasonable. Service is friendly and they turn things quickly, the food comes fresh & ready, and it seems to be well-run. It gets loud in here, so be prepared, but that's just KC Live.

Each taco was a little less than $2 each which was a great deal for what you got. Service was quick and efficient from ordering to pickup, and there was plenty of seating available. Would definitely come back for some more tacos!

I've been here a few times with my office mates. They are all very into Mexican. Living in South…read moreFlorida influenced me to learn much more about Latin foods which are much more diverse than Mexican. I've had a very hard time finding much Latin diversity here so far but for Mexican this is quite good. I've mostly gotten combo platters because I like the variety. I believe every combo platter should come with rice and beans. I can tell how authentic a place is by the beans and salsa quite often. So far I've liked the combo platters and the taco salad that I tried. Again, if I remember correctly, I had to pay extra to get beans on my taco salad. That would be one complaint I have. Beans should be a staple and come with everything unless the person doesn't want them. The service has been good. No complaints and it's been busy when we've eaten there usually during lunch hours. The decor and ambiance is pretty typical Mexican. Nothing fancy. The one thing I will note is I didn't see any Mexicans working there. Maybe someone in the kitchen I can't see so that's usually not a great sign. I know they've been around a long time. I'd probably go a smidge lower to 3.5 if I could just because I'm rather picky about Mexican and Latin food but I don't think it's fair to go down to 3 so I'm rounding up. The prices seem a bit high but everything is so expensive in 2026! They are probably pretty average for eating out and I'm sure it's costing them more just like all the rest of us have seen food prices sky rocket over the past year. I would certainly recommend them for a lunch bite and a nice Mexican American experience.
