    The street tacos are individually wrapped. Nice touch
    Scott T.

    A bullet hole adorns the window next to where I'm seated. A bank of security cameras show their results on a large screen directly behind and above the cashier with evidence intended for someone whose needs probably don't include Mexican food. They show 9 different angles including all the surrounding parking and the interior of the restaurant. The menu and signage is clearly intended for Hispanic customers with a bit of English here and there, and I love the "Taco's On Wheels" signage. There are no wheels, and the misplaced apostrophe indicates the business was started by, or the signage designed by someone with little English knowledge. Or both. A bonus for a Yelper with a warped sense of amusement. The cashier speaks passable English but we struggle a bit to understand each other. She's speaking English, me a barely passable Spanish. She smiles. Service: 5 stars. And the tacos were damn fine. I requested tripas but they had none, not an uncommon occurrence around town, and I get it. I settle for carne and pastor, two each. Out they come, individually wrapped in paper, adorned with sauce and the onions and cilantro I'd requested. They come with a small basket of radishes, limes and a large grilled jalapeno. Nice. A guava Jarritos washed it down. The tacos are double wrapped, the tortillas heated and appeared slightly oiled, the meats savory, seasoned well, moist and delicious. A guy across me was having the nachos and wiped the sweat from his brow (as was I) when downing the massive jalapeno that comes with each meal. Here's what really endears me about this place: open until 12:00 a.m. every night except for Friday, Saturday and Sunday when they're open until 3:00 a.m. Unlikely I've ever stop in after midnight, but this is a sign someone is working very hard for a living and that there's business that late. Latin America culture has much later hours than this country, more evidence this place is the real deal. In what is clearly a very poor and economically depressed neighborhood with few businesses, the have my respect. If you come: Park in their lot if you can, to the North Credit and debit cards accepted but only with a minimum $5 purchase A bit of Spanish won't hurt, but you shouldn't have a problem This is not Taco Bell, you get that, right?

    Pastor (Pork Marinated) Taco.

    The tacos are it man. Super flavorful and juicy plus you gotta add the green sauce!! Some of the best I've had around the area!

    I really can't believe this place isn't more popular. It is a tiny bit on the expensive side, but still very reasonable. Their tortas are my favorite in the city, and each order comes with grilled jalapeños, radishes, and limes. I've been there 7 or 8 times and have yet to encounter any rude employees. I usually go there for lunch and there is almost a polite young Hispanic woman working the register and tables. I haven't tried anything on the menu besides the steak quesadilla and the tortas, because I just can't stop eating them. Each sandwich is a symphonic balance of flavors. The pastor has almost a caramelized crust of spices on the outside of each piece, and coupled with the creaminess of queso fresco, avocado and mayo and the crunch of pickled jalapeño, onions, and lettuce-- amazing. The meat is always delicious, no matter what you pick. It can be a bit gristly at times, but this is a blue collar lunch joint. There is a lot going on in their tortas, but no single ingredient ever takes over. The tortas are a bit smaller than most of the others I've had in KC, but I just can't emphasize enough how delicious they are. Absolute perfection. My co-workers ask me to go get lunch here about once a week, and each time, the experience is great.

    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.

Unfortunately, the person who usually organizes these types of events loves Campesino. NOTHING has changed. Despite her calling the same day to ensure our reservation for 12 people was confirmed, they still acted confused when a large group showed up. They had no idea we were coming and had to hustle a few tables together once we arrived. The service is still slow. The food and salsa are still bland. I didn't even get to enjoy one of their margaritas (the only item really worth ordering), as I had to go to work following dinner. My vegetarian combo (burrito and chile relleno with beans and rice) were as plain as I-70 in western Kansas. I think the food was even more uninspired than my last visit. It took forever to order, forever to get our food, and then some items came out late or required prompting to procure. I just don't understand why people love this place. I think they just get drunk on the margs and *think* the food is good. Do not come here if you enjoy anything but bland food.

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.

The restaurant describes its food as Central Mexican cuisine interpreted through a Midwestern lens, and its menu goes considerably beyond standard tacos and enchiladas. They make their own blue corn tortillas chips and they use house made salsas and sauces. You know the chips you eat too much of to start your Mexican meal? Well they serve theirs with three different sauces. And this is a particularly good one for a pescatarian because seafood isn't an afterthought. The restaurant has dishes such as branzino, scallops, octopus and other seafood preparations. The atmosphere is stylish enough for a business lunch or date. The napkins were this burlap material that I absolutely loved. A very solid Mexican spot near the plaza.
