    Chicken Al Pastor
    Shyla Z.

    I ordered takeout from Taco Naco. It was good but I agree with some of the other reviews on it being a little pricey for what you actually get. Which makes this a place to eat at seldomly. I get it though, people's prices are their prices. Food ordered: chicken Al pastor taco, brisket barbecoa quesadilla, chips and a super small cup of queso! The taco was good but my favorite was/is the quesadilla. The chips are flavorful. Going back to the cost. $2.10 is crazy for the little bitty cup of queso. It should be .90 cents just like the 1.5 ounce cup of salsa is. I digress though! Overall, their food is pretty good. I'm sure it won't be the last time I go.

    I came in with low expectations coming from California but I was throughly impressed. The tacos are definitely dressed up traditional flavors. The tortillas were thin enough that they might be homemade though I wish it came with two tortillas. I ordered the chicken Al pastor which were juicy with more filling than fit the taco. The pineapple added a nice freshness to each bite. The salsa it comes with is a bit watery but with a bit of a punch. The horchata tastes like it came from a mix but still delicious. Though not a traditional street taco, still worth it

    I drive past this place ALL THE TIME and I never realized they had a back patio!! It's sort of tucked into a neighborhood so it has a nice cozy vibe to it. I got the ground beef picadillo taco (ground beef taco with potatoes and pico de gallo) and it was very tasty! The queso was delish & they have seasoned chips which I always appreciate. The tomatillo salsa is delicious and very citrusy/fresh! They also have a lil market indoors to buy some products. Will definitely be back to try the brisket and birria tacos!

    Esquite Street Corn: you must!
    Tom V.

    Street tacos are generally like snowflakes: no two are alike. There are good tacos, great tacos, and buckle-your-knees tacos and one can usually tell which is which. Taco Naco tends to be on the knee-buckling end. For starters, it's in the stinkin' name, ya know, TACO Naco, so they must know what they're doing. And oh boy, do they ever. Whether you want something simple and quick or something more, well, artisanal and fancy, this is your jam. My suggestion: get what's seasonal/special. The quesabirria tacos were featured this last time and those three tacos were absolutely a smash. Yeah, it gets messy, but these are *tacos*, not some finger food at a black tie gala. Get involved with your food and thank yourself later. Not to be outdone, my lovely wife had the pork al pastor taco alongside a brisket taco and wowza, are those sensational! The pork al pastor has pineapple sidled up alongside and those two flavors are just besties. I absolutely recommend at least one of those. Pro tip: the Mexican corn salad/salsa is a must-try, if even to share. But a taco needs a flavor profile on top and Taco Naco is bringing seven different levels of flavor and heat in their salsa lineup. You could go mild (very fresh, very flavorful) or heat it up (oh, but that creamy jalapeño) or just get flat on chili head with some habanero salsa. You do you, though, and treat your taco right, because I guarantee that will happen in return. Seating is somewhat limited in colder weather, but when the patio is open, your taco game can be spot on. Order at the counter and the servers and super helpful in helping you identify what you like, or just get some to go and crush your tacos at home. Browse the 'store' as well for Mexican specialty foods, some of Taco Naco's salsas to go, or their meats by the pound. Whatever choice you make, just know these are some of the best taco experiences you can have in the KC Metro and absolutely in the JoCo area.

    To Go order of Quesabirria Soup which comes with two birria tacos.
    Krista R.

    This is a two part review. My first introduction to Taco Naco was a doordash order of their Quesabirria Soup and two birria tacos. By the time of delivery everything was still heated thoroughly and was delicious. The ramen noodles I was especially amazed that they were cooked perfectly and hadn't over cooked or become soggy by the time I got them. I paired the two tacos with their creamy jalapeno sauce and it was a flavor bomb. So good. A few days later I decided I need the in restaurant experience. Walking in the counter where you order is to the right and the dining table are to the left. You order and find your own seat and theb they will bring it to your table. The atmosphere is casual and fun and they even have a small market section. I had really wanted to try their pozole, but they were sadly sold out. I consoled myself with a Baja Shrimp taco and a carne asada taco with a pineapple Mango Agua Fresca to drink. To start the pineapple Mango Agua Fresca was delicious and refreshing. It's not overly sweet and the mango helps to tame some of the tartness of the pineapple. The tacos were amazing. The shrimp in the Baja taco were huge and perfectly cooked and the chipotle aioli had a hint of spice and really paired well. The carne asada taco was a little more mild and was topped with an avocado sauce. Overall, this is ts the type of fare I'm looking for when the craving for Mexican food hits and I will definitely be back.

    Yeah, this place is great. Do I wish I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to get there? Yes. Do I care about losing that precious time out of my day? Not at all, it's that good. All I can report on is the Potato Pipian and Mushroom Mole tacos. They are both righteously delicious. I get them every time. Oh, and the guacamole doesn't disappoint either. If you're one of those people who prefer meat-based options, I'm guessing those are quite good as well, judging by how my wife devours them with a savage intensity. The atmosphere is casual and fun, the servers are super friendly, plenty of drink options, and you can do a little grocery shopping while you're there. What's not to love?

    I've seen a few advertisements online for Taco Naco, so when I was looking for a nearby place to grab lunch with a friend, this place popped in my mind! I was very excited to order after looking over the menu. I decided to try the pork al pastor, cochinita pibil and carne asada chimichurri. The pork al pastor was just okay, as the meat was slightly dry. The cochinita pibil was definitely a standout with slow roasted pork that was perfectly tender and beautiful chipotle aioli on top! I definitely considered ordering another one, but I simply had no more space after three tacos and the amazing chips and guacamole! This section is to highlight the guacamole because it was just that good! What do the people say? Holy Guacamole! It is hands down the best guac I've had in the metro area! There is a market inside of the restaurant and I saw multiple people come in just to purchase it! I had a great experience overall! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean!

    We celebrated my best friends birthday tonight at Taco Naco and i absolutely loved it! Food: It was so yummy, i topped it with the habanero salsa and it was the perfect touch of spice! (it is spicy, but they have a chart with all their salsas and their spice level to give you a visual of how spicy they are! On top of that the SERVICE OMG - fernanda was going around the restaurant making sure everyone was doing well, brought us extra sauces and made sure my friends birthday was so special! Overall I loved the food, the ambiance, and the service! I will definitely be visiting again!

    My breakfast was yummy

    Absolutely amazing! Their chilaquiles were just the right amount of spice and served with egg and avocado and creama. Would 100% recommend

    Chicken el pastor tostada's, queso & chips and the Luckys burrito!

    Great food and plenty of options for everyone! Great service & cute atmosphere! Definitely going to go back! So good!

    If you're looking for some good tacos and burritos in town, I would try Taco Naco. This place delivers on flavor, freshness, and quality. The burritos are packed with delicious, well-seasoned fillings, wrapped in a fresh tortilla. The carne asada in the tacos are tender and pair well with the pico. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I do wish they had a station for salsas and extra taco additives. But they do give you plenty for each taco. I also really like the grocery store aspect of the restaurant as you can shop for sauces and other authentic goods!

    Julia M.

    Warning: seriously addictive tacos here I'm a sucker for some street tacos, and Taco Naco does not disappoint! I opted for a picadillo, pork, and chicken street taco and loved every bite. A side of chips and guac to share with a friend made it the perfect meal. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and perfectly balanced. If you aren't feeling tacos, there's plenty of other authentic options on the large menu. Service was fast and polite, and there's lots of seating inside and out. I even spotted some pups hanging out on the patio, so it looks like outdoor seating is pet friendly! Don't miss out on Taco Naco! I can't wait to head back.

    Birria Tacos
    Nancy L.

    Have I been living under a rock???? Taco Naco is the way to my heart. I've heard so many good things about this place. When you step into Taco Naco, you would order first, get your number and find a table to sit and they will bring the food out to you. The menu was a bit overwhelming because there were so many delicious options to choose from! The cashier was very friendly while I was looking at the menu to decide on what to get. She also provided some recommendations and popular items. I ended up getting the quesabirria tacos and that was the best birria I have ever tasted! I will definitely come back and visit to try all of their other menu items.

We also received free chips and queso which was my daughter's favorite! The place itself is very calm and just seems like a chill spot to come for a quick eat. I ordered the steak tacos and veggie burrito (which Rafael fixed up for me on regular price with no extra charges for adding fries). We enjoyed our food and had a great time. Everything was delicious and Rafael did a great job on making this a good time for us. I wasn't really a big fan of their horchata but they had other good drinks available. I want to add that I feel like we started receiving special treatment because they realized we were yelpies so I don't know how service is on a regular day. Altogether, I'll be coming back here again!

The food was made fresh, I've always wanted to try the barria taco but no one seems to offer anything but a beef option. And finally, I found a chicken one. It was Delish !! Now I couldn't dip in the au just because it was beef but I appreciate having the option. The Mexican rice was light and flavorful. The queso was good however it stiffened up pretty quickly, just in case you feel the anxiety of choosing between. Your appetizer and the main costs course. Over all, a great experience for a late afternoon lunch. Check out it when your craving tacos, I don't think you'll be disappointment.

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.

It's definitely not close, a little bit of a drive (almost half an hour) but, it's so worth it! I've now visited three times and every time is almost better than the last. There are so many options for tacos here as well as combo meals, loaded fries, salads and other sharables. Truly, something on the menu for everyone. Also, the mission statement of this restaurant makes it even better than the savory, sensational food alone. They give back meals to the hungry with an emphasis on philanthropy. The employees inside the bright and cheery dining room are always so helpful, they really seem to love what they're doing and the work environment embodies the mission statement of the restaurant. I can tell the people working there take pride in what they do. Where do I start on the food...I've tried quite a few tacos on the menu and a lot of them are standouts. There are of course classic renditions of Tex-Mex tacos as well as new inventions, like a crab cake taco. I also have tried the steak and blue taco which wasn't my all time favorite but definitely had flavors that all worked together. Just to me the steak was a little chewy and tough but, I loved the additions of bacon and crumbled blue cheese, it was so hearty and creamy from the ranch sauce with a tad of heat from some jalapeño. The seafood tacos really shine for me and my palette, I really loved the snappy firecracker fried shrimp taco. This is definitely for the spicy sisters (and brothers) because it has an Asian inspired bang bang sauce as well as a peppery punchy sriracha sauce. Such a winner! Another winner in my opinion is the blackened mahi mahi taco with a creamy slaw and yum yum sauce which is just YUM! It's fresh and flavorful. The Korean steak taco has an interesting added crunch from a topping of fried wonton strips and an umami glaze on the steak. I prefer it to the steak and blue even though it's simpler in the number of ingredients. Who doesn't like a taco with fried pickles on top?! If you are with me and you are a pickle princess (or prince) and aren't afraid of a little spice then the buffalo chicken taco is for you. Another spicy option is the mango habanero grilled chicken taco, it may be the spiciest on the menu but the flavors pack a punch. The crispy cabbage and the creamy avocado cool down the mango habanero salsa and the crumbled salty cojita cheese topping is the most perfect finishing touch. Also, just a note, these are no small street tacos so, even though at first the price may seem shocking they are definitely filling. I barely finish three each time I dine and I leave very full and satisfied. Another favorite of mine has been the refried black beans that come with a Chipotle component that makes them unique. The guacamole is also fresh and limey, so good with a thin crispy salty chip dunked in. The queso isn't anything too special but who doesn't like ooey gooey melty cheese?
