I want to start with an apology to Taco Via. The last time that I dined at one of your fine…read moreestablishments was at the Metro North location around 1980 and at that time a close female friend worked there. I might have been given some significant discounts on food during her employment if you know what I mean?! Since the statute of limitations has expired and said female now lives in Florida, I think it's time to come clean some 45 years later, and yes we are still friends. In fact she was the first person that I sent photos of my weekend meal. I was actually surprised to see that Taco Via still existed and made a dash out to Overland Park on a soggy Sunday to see if the food lived up to what my memories hold. I ordered a Nacho w/ jalapeños, a Sancho, and "The Thing". The Nacho is one of the metro's simple pleasures - a corn tortilla covered in melted cheese with a spiral design of the best taco sauce in America and a splattering of diced jalapeños. Simple and simply irresistible. The Sancho is a messy beast with it's soft flour tortilla packed to the brim with everything that you would find in a burrito - taco meat, lettuce, cheese, tomato, and sauce. "The Thing" is a beautiful thing! It is basically a tostado topped with ground beef, onion sauce and a mountain of melty cheese. All three of these menu items would be 5 stars even if you were forced to eat them with Taco Bell sauce, but Taco Via has their own sauce that you can dispense from a pump at the drink station. I found myself sipping the sauce between bites and realized then that I must buy a container to take home with me. I plan on using liberal amounts of it on a taco salad at home tomorrow evening. I hope you forgive me and especially my female friend that forced those "discounted" tacos and sodas upon me Two Score and Five Years ago. With to-go sauce, meal, tax and tip, I spent $25+, I'm giving a well deserved 5 star review and I promise to come back and spend even more money... I hope this starts the reconciliation process, and the forgiveness of juvenile misdemeanors.

Some of the food can be a little greasy but honestly that is not a huge issue because if you are eating here, you're not looking for the healthiest option. The street tacos are GREAT portions and I have not had anything I did not like. I am anxious to try their menudo on the weekends. I have not eaten inside but it is a go to spot for to go Mexican food and you are not going to find much more authentic than that from a drive thru around here.

And this is probably my last. I wouldn't treat their Mother like that. Bad day or not. The first pic was from two weeks ago with all of the ingredients. Perfect. But the second pic is me looking for the ingredients.

Food was excellent and the overall atmosphere was very nice. They start out with a bowl of chips and two types of sauce. We got a couple of combination plates. Like the variety that you get. Got a #3 which had a ground beef enchilada, cheese enchilada and chicken enchilada (sorry no picture) and a #7 which had a pork tamale, pork burrito and a deep fried barbacoa beef taco (see picture). Lots of meat in all items, especially the tamale. Of course, both combinations included beans and rice. It also had some sort of cord fritter type things that was extremely tasty. Servings were good size, especially considering that the combination plates were around $12. Wound up taking food home. Everything was very good. Although I have to say the deep fried barbacoa beef taco was outstanding. Would try a different combination next time but need to pick one with that taco.

Not knowing the area that well we were happy to see that an old KC favorite, Margarita's had a nearby location. We could not have been happier with our little impromptu decision! Everything from the super house Margs to the thin and crispy "half taco" chips was just like our old favorite on Southwest Blvd in the Rosedale area of KC. Two years ago I wrote a Yelp review for that location claiming they had the best Carnitas I have ever enjoyed. This location is just as good. Truly exceptional and generously portioned. Can't wait for our next visit to Lenexa. Special thanks to our hardworking Server Jenn as well.

Had to ask for the drinks and the missing items. He brings the drinks and then brings the receipt and says I didn't ring the missing items up. But you asked what protein warmed and repeated everything back. Oh well it is what it is. He did ask if I wanted him to ring them up. Nope you was supposed to do that to begin with. They don't forget to take your money though, because you pay up front. This one is the smallest of the 3 and the outside tables weren't clean and inside tables the same. They weren't busy when we arrived. They just need better management and or better training. It's not hard. I've worked in the food industry.

Service was prompt and friendly, which is always a win. ​The Spread ​I opted for the 3-Taco Meal ($13.99). Honestly, not a bad price point considering it comes with sides of rice and refried beans to round things out. ​The Sauce & Chips ​The chips were exactly what you want: light, crispy, and dangerous. The salsa situation, however, required some DIY chemistry: ​Mild: Perfectly fine. ​Hot/Spicy: This one was a bit weird--it tasted like "flaming hot ketchup." ​The Pro-Tip: Mix the mild and hot together. It creates a nice combo that adds a kick without searing my soul. ​The Taco Lineup ​Tecate Barbacoa: Beer-braised brisket. The flavor was definitely there, but the meat was just a tad on the dry side for my taste buds. ​The Jorge: Blackened shrimp and crispy pork belly. The shrimp was spiced beautifully, but the pork belly was a bit on the chewy side. Still edible and tasty, but needed more "crunch" and less "tug." ​Baja Fish: The winner. The fish was flaky, tender, and perfectly cooked. It played incredibly well with the other ingredients. ​Clutch Move: Order a side of the avocado salsa. It's the MVP that helped elevate all three tacos. ​The Liquid Gold ​I also took down a Blood Orange Margarita, and honestly? This silver tequila was a silver lining. Balanced, refreshing, and dangerous. ​Overall: I've had better tacos across the city, but this is a very respectable 7 out of 10. I'd definitely go back for a second helping... especially if those margaritas are calling my name!

The tacos were great, but I always wanted to go back and give them another try. I thought the entire franchise was gone until I came across this location, the last one standing. The specials they got during the week are really good. I came on a Wednesday to get the best special I feel like, which is the nacho special for $8. It was a huge portion for that amount of money, and it was great! I'm actually excited to go back and try it again. There was nobody in there, so the service was top-notch. The ambiance of the restaurant, again, is empty when nobody's there, but I like it that way.

Their crunchy tacos are especially good, with perfectly crisp shells, well-seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and a signature sauce that makes everything taste even better. The portions are filling, the prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently great. The service is another reason I keep coming back. The employees are friendly, the line moves quickly, and my order is always prepared correctly, even when they are busy. Taco Via has a classic local atmosphere that feels welcoming and familiar, and it stands out from the larger fast-food chains. Whether I am stopping in for lunch or picking up dinner, I always leave satisfied. I highly recommend Taco Via to anyone looking for delicious food, fast service, and a dependable local favorite.
