    empty dining room near closing time
    Beth C.

    This is a reliable chain with tasty food and good service. After a long day with a lot of stress and driving, we needed a late supper. We hit here a bit after 8pm. The dining room was empty as everyone going in seemed to be getting take out. We ordered a burrito and large chips with three dips. My husband enjoyed the burrito and we split the chips. The chunky guacamole and flavorful queso hit the spot, and my husband mostly had the salsa.

    We had dinner here while visiting the Kansas City area for the first time! We love tacos and this place hit the spot, the staff was so very friendly and helpful as it was our first time. Everything we delicious and well priced for the portion you are given. We will definitely stop again when we're back in KC. I love that they give a meal to kids in need with every purchase of a meal to Feed My Starving children, a nonprofit we're very familiar with. They are also closed on Sundays which is amazing!

    Chicken Fajita Burrito...giant!

    Always a wonderful experience coming here! We don't have this chain where we live and always stop when in the KC area. The workers are always so super sweet and welcoming. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a delicious meal. Their queso and chips are huge. Great portions and quality all around. Love the mahi mahi taco if you want something lighter! The puffy tortillas make any taco better! We enjoy the outside dining area.

    This spot not only has phenomenal food but supports a wonderful mission as well. The staff had so many good menu recommendations so we ordered basically one of everything and it was so worth it! The space itself is very clean, very bright and welcoming!

    A friend has been hounding me to try this place, so I finally did. I was quite surprised! The grilled shrimp tacos were so good! Best thing I've eaten in a minute. I am not a fast eater, but I absolutely inhaled my first one! The queso was pretty tasty as well. Will definitely be going again before I leave the area.

    This is a clean, cutely decorated, modern, bright counter-service restaurant that gives you a reason to feel less guilty for indulging your taco obsession! Every entree item feeds a hungry child in a developing country. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in and continued until we walked out--everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. They have crushed ice (like Sonic) which is a little thing, but something I love. I ordered the Mango Habanero and the Korean BBQ tacos, my husband ordered the Steak and Blue (a seasonal option) and the Carnitas. They were all delicious. It reminded me a bit of Mission Taco *except* these were BIG tacos, not itty bitty things. My husband is a bit of a taco snob and usually prefers "authentic" tacos, but 2 bites in he said, "I'd come back here." I would have to agree, there wasn't a single thing that disappointed.

    Hit a $5 off, not bad.

    Tacos for Life is an interesting concept. I've been here a couple times now and it's been mixed results. Parking outside can be a wee bit cramped with Target on the other side of the parking lot, but wasn't awful either time I came in. Ordering is fairly easy and the menus are large enough to accommodate the relatively weak of eyesight. The food has come out fairly quickly both times and piping hot. The issue here is that both times, something in the order was missed. It happens, and neither time was it a disaster, but it is kind of odd. The food itself is fine to good, but it didn't really blow my socks off either. And the pricing is...a bit steep for what it is. I appreciate donating $ to good causes, but it's not something I generally want to do on top of already fairly high priced okay tacos. Maybe if you've got a coupon and hit the drive thru this is the ticket, but with so many other good taco/Mexican options reasonably close by, it's definitely going to come down to preference.

    Visiting this restaurant for the second time in two months! During my last visit I tried their Fajita chicken burrito & Tacos (Carnitas, asada & Mahi Mahi). Loved everything about it. For this visit, I invited couple of my friends to join me. We ordered Fajita chicken burrito, Tacos (Mango habanero & Korean bbq steak) & Kids meal. They had some kind of charity going on for every kids meal we purchase they will feed a kid in need. Happy to support the noble cause! Mango habanero was good. I have never tried this one before. Quantity in kids meal was good & Kids meal was yum. Staffs are great, patient & helpful in both these visits. Beautiful & clean ambiance!

    Went to Tacos 4 Life for a quick dinner after being in the area, and it was a great time to try a new thing! The service workers were very friendly and helpful since my partner and I were new to the restaurant! We walked in and got into the line (you order at the front and then get a number to take to your table!). When the food came, it was much more than expected! The tacos were super big and filled to the brim, and a large Guacamole was much more than me and my partner guessed it would be! Overall had a good time, and this is another great spot to try out loaded tacos, while also giving back to the community (for the tacos you order, they give food to local groups in need). Thanks for a great first experience, T4L!

    Food was better than good maybe, but not great. I had their 2 tacos one side or dip--Hawaiian Shrimp one each grilled and fried and queso dip, nothing added. Overall the shrimp tacos were good--I don't think I'd order them again though. I preferred the grilled to the fried and got confirmation on the canned pineapple--not my favorite. Interesting adding the toasted coconut--fortunately there wasn't much of it. Personally, there was too much sauce and I'd prefer cabbage to iceberg lettuce, but as mentioned the food was still good. The chips for the queso were light, crispy and flavorful. Service at the beginning was great. No one really stopped by my table to ask me how things were going, but then again, I didn't need anything so it was fine. Plenty of seating, and probably a good place for groups of people.

    I would give the Yelp experience, five stars; however, I would rate the restaurant and food for stars. This restaurant is great for families on the go with its with its casual dining and drive-through opportunity. I wouldn't want to take anyone here for a date, definitely lol I ordered two combo meals of two tacos and a side, - All tacos had corn tortillas, (tacos places soft corn tortillas) -- MANGO HABANERO -- BLACKENED MAHI-MAHI -- CHIPOTLE STEAK - Sides were, -- Cilantro Pesto Rice -- Black Beans My experience was positive but it isn't anything special to visit again unless I'm in a rush for decent tacos vs the fast food taco competitor or with loud kids.

    Gonna have to break this one down. The Food was pretty good. I enjoyed a lot of the items that they had on the menu and attempted to sample quite a bit. This is one of the more upscale taco joints, but the reality is that it is a taco joint. And it is making the midwestern audience tacos. Nothing wrong with that... just know what they are about! The food and combinations of flavors were good. Not Great... but definitely good and better than a lot of other taco fast food style places. 4 stars. The Service - Fantastic and quick staff that attempted to help as much as they could, even though the place was slammed! They EARNED a substantial tip from me just for going above and beyond. The Staff here is doing it right! 5 Stars. The Ambiance - For a fast-foodish joint, they have done fairly well. It is still obvious that they have kept the personality from the building, as it may need to pivot and be a different type of restaurant soon (that is all construction and architecture these days). But, they did it up with nice, clean decor and didn't make the place look sterile! 4 Stars. Overall, I recommend giving this place a shot. They will get my repeat business when I am in that neighborhood.

    Blue steak taco was very good, beef and cheese burrito was just short of Taco Bell's, Mexican creamed corn was good, cheesy chicken rice was ok. Wasn't bad wasn't good so it gets 3 stars. Ambiance is nice clean other than very sticky tables. Not much service, to be had, but no complaints on the guy that took our order.

    Two taco combo with refried black beans.

    I'm almost afraid to go a second time because the first time was way too delicious…read more First, I was surprised by finding out it was Taco Tuesday, so I got some kind of crazy good financial deal on these tacos. Secondly, when I went home, I was just expecting tacos, and found this wide array of grilled vegetables in my takeout order. Thirdly, several of the tacos were insanely delicious. The server was pretty chill when I was placing my order. And the music in the background was Bad Bunny style, fun stuff.

To start off Rafael, at the front was very funny and made it very comforting. He made conversation with us and was very accommodating. 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!

It gave an option for dining with a group of people or simply dining alone. We arrived around 1pm on a week day, so just after the lunch rush which was perfect. 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.
