Enjoyed lunch here. I had the quesabirrias and my husband had the Taco Tuesday special (hard shell beef) tacos. I loved the quesabirria tacos but they were kinda pricey for the size. I wish I had looked at more items as their menu is plentiful with tons of options. I think I could have found something cheaper that I would have enjoyed just as much. I had room for ice cream so I got a dip of horchata ice cream. It was really, really good. It was extremely creamy and delicious. I'm not sure what was in it besides cinnamon and vanilla, but it was great! They had flavors I've never seen before (piñon, queso, Gansito) so I can't wait to come back and try another new flavor. read more

Authentic. Divey. Affordable. Through a coworkers recommendation, we checked out this place during a weekend dinner and we are glad we did. The menu is pretty big, so you will find something for everyone in your group. Prices are all affordable and the flavors are great. We tried their signature in elote in a cup, along with birria tacos and a burrito. The pineapple agua Fresca was a nice touch as well. Don't expect anything fancy or high end service, but the food is worth the visit. read more

The restaurant is very fast pace and prompt to their customers. I will have to go ago again soon the food didn't make it home and i didn't take a picture of it all. read more

I had been sick for DAYS and finally got well enough and this was the first place I went! I had the birria tacos, some of their elote off the cob, and a fruit punch jarrito! 10/10 delicious and would eat every day if I could. The staff is very kind and honest and the food is always going to be great. read more

Sit down restaurant where we ordered at the counter. We came because it was one of the options late night in NKC. There was plenty of tables and seating. Food came out pretty quick - I ordered the quesabirria tacos which came with consomme and some side salsa. For the price, I do feel like the tacos were small. The flavor was somewhat lacking as well - I wish the consomme was richer and heartier, and that the tacos had a more prominent color to them. The tables didn't have any extra salsa bottles, which was disappointing. I've had better quesabirria taco options in KCK or at various food trucks in KC, so sadly this place was a miss. read more

Kind of expensive for what it is, order at counter, clean your own table kind of place , but not to bad $36 for two. We got street tacos which by there self was good but the salsa was terrible I wouldn't even insult it and call it salsa. Chips ok cheese dip good, the corn I loved that they had creme fraiche instead of mayo but corn was really bad quality and over cooked but willing to overlook that because it is winter so maybe I'd try the corn again in the summer? Honestly I'd go back for the Jicama Aqua fresska, but other than that wouldn't eat there again. read more

Every time we eat here we are impressed by both the service, the prices, and the food!! It's a family owned and operated business with many regulars. The guy taking orders always has a giant smile on his face and acts genuinely grateful that you're there to eat. He is also patient and helpful with the menu. I'm gluten free & have found plenty of yummy options & everything tastes fresh. It's not a fancy place but it's consistently good!! They are open later than a lot of Mexican restaurants too. Highly recommend! read more

Taco Rico - Tostada with Chicken - Tacos Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Fun place. It was packed on a Sunday afternoon. The building is an old Hardees or something so obviously being put to much better use these days. Extensive menu, mostly meat based if you like that kind of thing. There are some tasty vegetarian options (potato and bean) but these are clearly an afterthought. The Mexican rice is delicious. The servers are friendly enough and there's ice cream, always a plus. Apparently, you can't order at the drive thru window, that only exists for picking up call ahead orders. Might be an unpleasant surprise after waiting in line. Recommended if you're looking for more authentic Mexican offerings that aren't smothered in yellow cheese. read more

Hadn't been here for awhile but I had bragged to some friends about how good the quesabirria tacos were and decided tonight to pick up a few orders for them to try out. They were good but not nearly as good as previous times. One of the main features of a good birria taco is all the melted cheese. These barely had any cheese at all. I was VERY disappointed and embarrassed after I had talked them up. When you pay over $40 for nine tacos you expect a lot better. Unfortunately, the quality in this place appears to be slipping. read more

We love the food at Taco Rico, and so does our 8 year old grandson. This is not a fancy Mexican restaurant, and if you go on a weekend in the evening, you may have to wait a little bit to get your food, but trust me, it is well worth it! They also have a great selection of ice cream! read more

Best authentic Mexican place in KC in my opinion. Been going here at least five years and they have never disappointed!

Stopped in for lunch based on good reviews. The restaurant is cute and clean. They had a taco Tuesday special for 5.99....any tacos with any fillings. I got three street tacos one with Carnitas, Carne Asada and Al Pastor. They were all delicious served on double layered corn tortillas with onions and cilantro but the Carnitas was my favorite. I got an order of chips and salsa. The chips were very good. Tasted like they might be homemade. The salsa was very disappointing. It is very thin and the mild did not have much flavor. The hot was thin also and just OK in my opinion. Overall, the food was good. The staff was very friendly, the place was clean. The entire bill was just over $10 so I found it to be very reasonable. I would definitely recommend! read more

Great language tacos I went for lunch this week and ordered the #1 Tacos platter with rice and beans. It was quick and the service was great. read more

Came here thru word of mouth, I believe this place use to be an old Burger King. This was the most unique taco spot I've ever been to. Not only do they have tacos, they have ice cream as well! Cream and juice base. I tried the rice and cinnamon pop, different from any ice cream I've ever tried. Staff very friendly, I ordered a #1 with carne Asada and a carne Asada burrito. They messed up on my order and gave me pork instead of steak. However I must say, the guy at the register gave me a discount on my order when I came back to make them aware of the error with my food. The food I give a 5/10. The meat and sauce for the tacos didn't have any flavor at all, very bland. The meat also wasn't so tender as well. I still recommend giving this place a try. read more

I basically eat this soup once a week! It reminds me of my mother's recipe! I add the rice, onion, cilantro, juice of all provided limes, and throw in a dab of cholula on each spoonful! Mom always topped ours with a Mexican cheese blend, but it's great regardless! A must try if you like albondigas soup! Service is always friendly and welcoming! read more

If you like a burrito bowl from that famous chain store you're going to love the flavor and ingredients in the fajita bowl from this local, neighborhood eatery. The place is cheery, always busy, but no frills. You're not here to sit and dine...you're here to eat your favorite Mexican food or to take it to go. You order at the counter, pay, and have seat--they will bring it to you! Today I got the fajita bowl and the flavor is so deep and bright with the perfect combo of ingredients. It has Mexican rice, your choice of meat, red and green, grilled peppers and onions, pico de gallo, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, and some corn. Oh and a heap of guac. All for $9.95 plus tax! You can modify it if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's perfect just the way it is. I have had a few items on the menu over the past year And no matter what I order--It's always the best I've ever had! I highly recommend :-)! read more

Food was authentic and amazing! They've also done a great job rehabbing this old BK. The line on Tuesday can build up but the team is efficient in moving it. They have a designated area for to go orders that free's up dining space for in store diners. I am a military wife who got addicted to the Taqueria chain in Killeen TX, Taco Rico leveled up!!!! I hate giving away Best Kept Secrets. read more

Arrived for a late lunch (2:00) and had the street tacos (three) with grilled chicken. Small, but that's a street taco, and delicious! My friend ordered the flautas with potatoes as a vegetarian option, with corn in a cup. She said the flautas lacked flavor but the corn in the cup was so tasty--I tried that and she was right! Kinda salty in my opinion, but good nonetheless. The folks taking our order and delivering our meals to the table were friendly. It was about what you'd expect for a restaurant--cozy, not too loud, bright inside and clean throughout. They had a couple big screen TVs. read more

Great food, prompt service & ambiance of an authentic Mexican restaurant. A favorite!

This is what I always looked for!! Everything was spot on and well as the staff!! Rice, beans and extra spicy sauce has to meet my demands. If not, the rest just doesn't compare! If you can't take the time to get the little stuff right, don't even bother but they have done EVERYTHING RIGHT!!!!!! Love, love, love this place! PLEASE DONT LEAVE THE NORTHLAND!! BTW if you are looking for something smothered in cheese to swallow your meal don't come here! THIS IS THE BEST!!!! Thousands of thumbs up to this establishment AND the staff!!!!!

Authentic fast Mexican with ice cream too. Service was great. Large menu. Dine in or to go.

The best food that you can get in the northland that's anywhere close to authentic Mexican.

Thx to Yelp, I recently check this place out while I was in Kansas City for work. They had great reviews and just my luck. I have to show up on taco Tuesday! I had the three street tacos special, which was one Carnitas one chicken and one El Pastore, though you could make your choice between about six different selections. They have both a mild and a hot salsa, and bam that hot salsa is hot!! Like smack yo momma hot. Don't mess around w it...start slow. All three tacos I had were delicious and fresh! Glad I found this place and would come back again. read more

Service and Food is excellent. I love this place every Tuesday. Street Taco's, water and strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Delicious read more

This is my first time here and it was pretty amazing! I got Al pastor street tacos added sour cream and cheese. We got chips and salsa, that are not the best. They had many different items listed on the menu and a lot that weren't listed. A bit confusing for someone who wants to know everything on the menu. My husband had 2 fired tacos with rice which he enjoyed. Overall the place was clean, staff were friendly and fast service. Go check this little place out! read more

I walked in at lunch , dropping an empty soda can in trash on my way to the counter. The surly woman at the counter told me the trash was for customers only. I responded that I'm here buying lunch. Her response was 'I don't care, no trash.' I left, insulted, and will not return. read more

We have eaten here several times. The food has always been good. The have a drive through that we frequent.

So this was a last minute audible and the street tacos were really good. I'm not usually a corn tortilla guy but these were great. Food came out pretty quick and service was good. I tried the mild and hot sauce and I will warn you, a little hot sauce goes a long way. It has great flavor but will get you if you're not careful. They also have a great selection of ice cream. I didn't try any this time but definitely have it on the list to go back and have some. Definitely recommend a visit here. read more
