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! You can't go wrong and they are $1 off each on Tuesday. I need to do Burrito Monday!! Everyone is always very nice when I pick up my order. I use the app and it's so easy!

I've always really enjoyed Tiki Taco, which is why my experience today was so disappointing. They…read morehave changed the bowls they serve their meals in, and the difference is HUGE. The old bowls were large and wide, with plenty of room for all of the ingredients. The new bowl is so small and deep that it honestly felt like I was eating my meal out of a cup. It wasn't satisfying at all. Everything was crammed together and mixed up, and it actually changed the entire taste and experience of the meal. Part of what made these bowls so good was being able to taste the different ingredients and combine them how you wanted. In this container, everything just became one big mixture. I could barely even find the shrimp I paid extra for. I also ordered extra rice, and there is absolutely no way what I received felt like an extra portion. I normally cannot come close to finishing one of these bowls in one sitting. I can eat quite a bit and you can barely tell I've touched it. Today, I ate the entire thing in one sitting, which says a lot about how much the portion has changed. I understand restaurants sometimes have to make changes, but serving the same meal in a significantly smaller container while customers are still paying the same price--and paying additional charges for extras--is incredibly disappointing. I have pictures of my previous bowls compared with the one I received today, and the difference is obvious. I really hope Tiki Taco reconsiders this change. I used to look forward to these bowls, but eating out of what feels like a cup is just not the same meal or experience. For the price, this was extremely disappointing and definitely not what I've come to expect from Tiki Taco.

Respectfully, nothing was fundamentally wrong with the food, but it didn't distinguish itself. I'd eat there again if nearby, but wouldn't travel for it. Service was good for ordering and receiving time. From order to table was approximately 10 minutes which is exceptional considering the quantity of food ordered. The tables needed to be wiped down, and the table service was pretty much non-existent. You order your food at a register, seat yourself and that's that. No waitress or water; you have to buy bottled water. Price point was ~$65 for the taco platter and another ~$10 for the quesabirria tacos. This filled up the family of 4 with leftovers. There is a condiments / salsa bar but customers ran through it and there was mixed food between all the containers. The pickled red onion has their own kick to it which I enjoyed and their salsas/hot sauces are good. The decor is pretty straightforward, tables and chairs, with typical music you'd expect from other Mexican restaurants. Futbol on the TV's and old movies on others. There is a chef at the opposite end of where you order your food, hats off to that man he was very receptive and worked very hard. He helped with getting our table wiped down, our waters, and to go stuff for our leftovers, if he sees this, I want him to know I appreciated his efforts. This review is for my first time experience in Overland Park. I do not know if this is normal or because it was a Sunday that this is what the experience is but I will say, If they offered free water, had a busser, and kept the place more tidy it easily would elevate the rating.

The walls and ceiling have some wonderful paintings. It is a very inviting atmosphere. After we sat down, they brought us over some chips and salsa. They did use the most important aspect of chips and salsa, that being to give each person their own bowl of salsa, so you can double dip. On to drinks. They have various flights. We got the flight of 3 margaritas. They have a big selection of flavors. Also, the flight glasses come in 2 sizes. We got the small glasses. The drinks were very good. They had a flight of 4 tacos. The tacos are semi rolled up and put in short glasses. It comes with rice, beams, guac, pico and a few other items. We got 2 steak and 2 pastor. Both of them had a lot of meat. The steak was really flavorful and tender. The pastor was more spicey than we prefer. I really liked this concept. We also got a chicken quesadilla. The picture of it does not give it justice. It was really good with lots of meat and chicken. Overall, a fun place with good food. Give it a try with the various flights of drinks and food.

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.

First, immediate bonus points for giving everyone their own salsa dish. No rationing salsa at this table! Although, the spicy salsa will cost you an extra $1.99.

The flavors weren't quite as bold and in-your-face as I usually like my Mexican food, but it was consistently solid across the board. The charro beans and refried beans were especially delicious. My biggest complaint? Everything came out just barely warm. Not cold, but definitely not hot, and I think that made a BIG difference. Had everything arrived piping hot, this meal could have gone from "very good" to "exceptional." Overall, good food, cute spot, individual salsa bowls, and plenty worth coming back for.

My bowl was almost entirely rice. I did order extra rice, but that didn't mean that's all I wanted. There was barely any of the other ingredients -- just a tiny amount of beans and corn shoved into the corner. I was honestly shocked at how different this location was compared to Olathe. I almost took it back, but leaving work again during lunch just wasn't realistic, so I tried to eat what I could. Most of it ended up in the trash. NO guacamole which comes on the bowl. Highly disappointed overall. I also work with and interact with a lot of people daily, and I will definitely be spreading the word around my company about this experience.

- A Hidden Gem for True Taco Lovers -…read more (Maria makes tamales on Thursdays - must reach out directly for preorders) I had the absolute pleasure of stumbling upon El Taco Riendo and meeting the warmest, most welcoming family -- Jasmine, Maria, and their kind crew. From the moment I walked up to their bright and inviting food truck (parked conveniently in the Kohl's parking lot), I could tell this was going to be something special. Let's start with the food -- these are hands down some of the freshest tacos I've ever had. The tortillas? Nemo's fresh and made daily, soft yet perfectly sturdy to hold generous portions of meat and toppings. The meat? Juicy, seasoned to perfection, and cooked with the kind of care you can only get from people who truly love what they do. And the salsa -- oh, the salsa! Vibrant, layered in flavor, with just the right amount of heat. You can taste the passion and tradition in every bite. One thing that stood out to me was how clean and organized their truck was. As someone who eats at a lot of food trucks, I really notice when a place takes pride not only in their food but also in their space -- and El Taco Riendo sets the bar high. Everything from the prep area to the condiments station looked spotless, and that just adds to the confidence you feel ordering here. It's not just about the food though -- it's the experience. Jasmine and Maria greet you like old friends, remembering faces and making every customer feel valued. Their hospitality feels effortless, and that's rare in a world where so many places rush you through the process. If you want to support a small, local business that's serving up authentic flavors with heart, El Taco Riendo is it. You're not just getting tacos -- you're getting a little taste of their family's love and pride on a plate.
