    Shrimp taco
    DJuan L.

    I drove past Tequileros on my way to pick up food. Looked like an authentic Mexican restaurant so I decided to stop on my way back through. Some of the authentic Mexican restaurants that I've visited don't offer seafood, so I was excited to see that they had both fish and shrimp tacos on the menu. I ordered a fish taco, shrimp taco and cheese dip. After getting home, I realized that the shrimp were undercooked. I felt that I'd get sick if I ate the entire shrimp taco, so I only took a bite out of it. The fish taco was better. The fish didn't have much flavor, but the condiments inside the taco were pretty good. The cheese dip was flavorless and runny even after letting it sit. I think this was my 1st time ever throwing away cheese dip, so you know it had to have been bad If the shrimp hadn't been undercooked, I think the shrimp tacos would've been a homerun because the sauce that they used in the taco was delicious. They probably have other dishes that are good, but for my personal experience I was a bit disappointed.

    Great salsa!

    Priced right and good salsa! This family friendly hole in the wall, is an Independence treasure. Our food was served fast and hot. Authentic entrées and courteous service has earned our business whenever we are in the area.

    I ordered a steak fajita. It came w a side of beans, rice, pico, sour cream and guacamole. I wish I got it before I ate, but it was so good.

    Great little hole in the wall. We came to KC for a volleyball tournament. We live in Vegas and have great Mexican food, so after our games we were wanting something other than bbq. This little gem is in independence. Worth the drive! I got the steak Fajitas and it came w a side of rice, beans, pico, sour cream, guacamole. My husband and daughter got the steak burrito w side of rice beans and sour cream. They loved it. Orders came out in a timely manner & nice and hot! It seems like it's run by a family. Great little family place. When we come back to KC again we'll definitely come back!

    Flan

    Very impressed does not do it justice. From the welcoming greeting as we walked in to the chips and salsa (not salted - perfect for those of us with high blood pressure!) - my asada chimichanga was perfect. Good quality steak, cooked perfectly. My spouse had the steak platter and the steak again was top quality. We ended with flan. Perfect for my taste. Not overly sweet. Now the extras that nobody else notices: a disabled couple came in and was seated at a table near the front of the restaurant. So many tones we eat out and see a hostess put disabled people in the back of a restaurant. When they left, the manager opened the emergency exit so they could have a closer exit to the parking lot. I appreciate people caring for elderly and disabled people.

    Delicious Seafood, Attentive Service, Festive Atmosphere/ Decor…read more If it's hot outside and the front parking is full, there will be a wait. There is a back patio, front patio, and two dining rooms inside. If you like Cold Beer, a draft in a Schooner is definitely the way to go! We started with Spicy Gizzards ( Regular size was plenty for two, BTW not spicy ) and the 3 piece crawfish meat pie. Both were awesome. The meat pies take awhile, and they arrive Super Hot ( temperature ). When they arrive, break them open and let them cool!!! We both got baskets. The Fries and hush puppies are hot and delicious. My alligator was fire and my friend's catfish was light and fresh. For dessert we shared the Carrot Cake. It's made by Golden Boy ( local bakery ). It was one of best I've had. I was surprised it was delivered in a to go box. I didn't finish my gater, but I devoured that cake!

We started with Firecracker Shrimp (not pictured) which was excellent and devoured quickly. We followed the appetizer with Crab Cakes and Spicy Gizzards. As a gizzard aficionado, I had high expectations and they were exceeded! The Crab Cakes were also delicious. Portions were generous and the value was high. We spoke to some other patrons who were enjoying the Flounder and Catfish. I look forward to returning to try both of those options. Our service was also notably good considering how busy the restaurant seemed. Our server was attentive without being overbearing.

My family and I entered and weren't greeted, despite there only being one other table seated. We ended up walking across the dining room ourselves before eventually being acknowledged. Not the strongest start. Once inside, the atmosphere had its ups and downs. The space itself is beautiful, but some details--like visible weeds and black tablecloths--took away from the overall polish. That said, things started to turn around once we got settled. I had the chance to meet the chef, who was incredibly personable and clearly passionate about his craft. We kicked things off with appetizers, and this is where the kitchen really began to shine. The lobster rangoons and tempura shrimp were both excellent--crispy, flavorful, and well-executed. For entrées, my daughter and sister-in-law both ordered the chef's burger and really enjoyed it. My niece had the steak frites and absolutely loved it. My wife ordered the lemon brick chicken with gnocchi and olive tapenade. After tasting it, I felt the gnocchi could have benefited from a quick sauté in clarified butter, finished with a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs to bring out the depth the dish promised. I went with the Wagyu burger. The cook on it was spot-on, but the execution fell short. It came topped with three large slabs of bacon hanging well over the sides, making it difficult to eat without taking it apart. After adjusting it myself, I noticed it was under-seasoned--something as simple as a finishing salt would have elevated the richness of the Wagyu significantly. Overall, Ophelia's has a lot of potential. The food shows promise, the chef clearly knows his craft, and the space is visually appealing. With a few adjustments in both service and execution, this could easily become a top-tier spot. I'll be back--and I'd still recommend giving it a try. 4 out of 5 forks.

However, the food was lacking. We have had the pot roast nachos many time before, and this visit, it was lacking several toppings (Cheese, corn) and very little pot roast and peppers.

The butter was super fluffy and light and the bread was a great crunchy texture, but other than that I feel like it lacked that extra flavor to take it up a notch. We also tried the calamari which was pretty good. For my entree I had the Romano chicken alla vodka. It was genuinely so so good! I feel like the ambiance was okay, it was packed and really loud but I figure that's just because it was a holiday. It was also weirdly dark in there which I'm not a fan of. Our waiter was nice but smelled like he just got back from smoking a cigarette every time he came to the table.
