“ At first I thought this was a fast food restaurant. However, you order from your table and they bring everything to you hot, fresh, and delicious. The service was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the beef tacos, chips, and Coke products. Everything was clean. The air conditioning was cool on a hot day. They were about 50% occupied when we were eating. It seemed quiet and comfortable. There is plenty of parking. Oh, the price, I was surprised that the tacos in my photos were only 2.00 each. The drinks were 3.00 each. ”

“ My husband and I get tacos ALL THE TIME and I think we have found the best in Kansas City here for sure!! I get the Al pastor and they are absolutely amazing and by far the best I have had. I love the many choices of sauces as well! And then tonight they had a mariachi band come in which was really neat! It’s definitely AUTHENTIC Mexican food here and I love the environment. They could be more attentive to tables but still definitely worth it!! ”
