    Ami L.

    Wow, this truck is now my go to for legit Mexican food. Their quesabirria is spot on and we finally found pastor that is more similar to what we were used to in LA. They are new to town so the lines are still short/non-existent but I'm sure it won't be long before it gets busier.

    My al pastor taco with barley any meat...

    Horrible slow service. Very unreliable service, every time I've come. Hope they get new management.

    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.

    Don't judge a book by its reviews…read more.. I've done some looking at this place and felt very skeptical coming in. I wasn't even sure if I was going to enjoy myself but boy was I wrong. 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!

I can get 2 meals out of it. It's stuffed with steak, shrimp, and other veggies and such. I try to get something else but then I always can't resist getting it! I am going to have to force myself to explore the menu more. I have done Taco Tuesday and gotten several tacos. There's many options. I'm usually attracted to the street taco style but I have also gotten the gringo style and it is very good too! I love the birria and pastor. I got chicken and added black beans, yummy!

We got a KC Burrito and Chicken Quesadilla. Really enjoyed the KC Burrito it has rice or fires. Per the staff suggestion I went with half of each. For the protein I got Al Pastor. Burrito was very big. Meat was tender and flavorful. It was a darn good burrito. We also got a Chicken Quesadilla. It had a lot of meat and cheese. Big serving. One of the best Quesadilla's we have had. Also, they have 4 different sauces to pick from. I got the medium. It was good Not sure what took us so long to try this place, however glad we finally have. We will be back.

Inside, the space is airy and vibrant with great acoustics and a chill little bar area that sets the perfect casual vibe. We started strong with the drinks. My friend went with the house margarita while I opted for the spicy pineapple jalapeño. Both were so incredibly good that skipping a second round wasn't even an option--we doubled up! Our server was wonderfully patient and attentive, gracefully making a few extra trips to our table while we hopelessly debated what to order. I finally settled on the Pollo Relleno, which came loaded with Mexican rice, refried beans, and a taco. My friend grabbed the tres crispy tacos paired with charro beans. When the plates arrived, the presentation was a little messy--but what it lacked in looks, it more than made up for in flavor. Excellent drinks, solid comfort food, and great service. We'll definitely be back!

The flavor balance is true Mexican flavors not American, which means authentic pop of balanced flavors! Booth behind had Coconut Margaritas. I always get the top shelf Margarita and my wife gets the cheapest one. The color and unique flavor of the Top Shelf is pretty unique. Both don't have that overly sweet candy taste. They taste so authentic. We then had to try the Coconut Margarita. I'm not always an island drink person, but it looked too good with the toasted coconut rim. It was so good and perfectly balanced to not be so sweet. The waitress said that was due to them making their own blends. We eat here all the time. I have had Mexican food all over the country in the best areas and this is the best! If I could invest in the expansion of this restaurant, I would.

    Pros: menu is amazing, flavors were fantastic and cannot rave enough about the food…read more Cons: the concrete floor makes it so loud in there the acoustics are terrible. It wasn't even full and we could barely hear each other and there was only four people total talking. Also, we could barely hear the server while he was a great server himself we could not hear him, and they were completely understaffed. Our meals came out much later than they should have for the amount of people and our fourth person got their meal about 10 minutes later. While the manager or chef made it right by taking off the entrée and providing us bubbles, I am worried this place will not make it due to the service issues and the aesthetics inside which make it unbearable to hear. Too bad they picked this location. I feel like it would be a successful restaurant somewhere else. We will definitely go back when the patio is open

    This is a Mexican Spanish fusion restaurant. The food is outstanding!…read more I wish more people would try their food. There were so many different options but it's not another Mexican food restaurant. They have enchiladas but they have so much more Everything we ate was delicious and we will definitely go back. If Mexican food sounds good and you'd like to try some Spanish food as well, this restaurant is a gem. This is the first time trying a Mexican/Spanish fusion restaurant in KC and we're happy we did. The atmosphere is pleasant and we really enjoyed the experience. I'd give this restaurant 10 stars if I could.

We had one chicken empanada, one chicken taco, two pastor tacos, two carnitas, one barbacoa, and chips with guacamole.

The service was okay, friendly enough but nothing over the top. Someone mentioned in a review that it isn't the restaurants fault that the landlord won't fix the ceiling but I find issue in that even the vents are disgusting. If it were my restaurant I would do everything in my power to make it look nice and clean enough for people to want to return a million times over. Like I said, we will probably be back but it cannot go without mentioning.
