“We've been visiting establishments down here for just about 30 of my almost years in KC. My wife is of Mexican descent and we buy supplies and goods down there frequently. For some reason even though i looked at this place every time i pulled out of a parking lot nearby, we just never stopped there. Then the other day someone posted a review in a google headline byte so we decided to try it as BBQ does get old sometimes. All I can say is WOWZA, im kicking myself for never going there now(which of course will be made up for). Come as you are. It's a nice little establishment with inside and outside seating. The staff is friendly, the service is soooo fast and the chicken is absolutely phenomenal. Half or whole chicken comes with rice and beans and soda or drink, even coke in a glass bottle(those of us who know). The skin is amazing too, the colonel has NOTHING on El Pollo Rey. Half a chicken or whole chicken, the price is the same (2 halves is same price as a whole) and when you're done there's even a place to put your glass bottle or can for recycling purposes. If youve never been then GO.....NOW. Your only regret will be you didnt go sooner.”

“The lady taking orders was standoffish, I only knew a few words of Spanish. That seemed to annoy her. The cook corrected her attitude and knew exactly what I wanted.. she eased up a little bit.. (with that being said) customers spending money at any establishments that don't speak English or Spanish.. should always be made to feel comfortable and welcome to support any business.. simple math. Welcoming business + happy customer = $$$ thriving business. P.S. remind your staff to be friendly. The chicken was flavorful,fresh, and hot .would recommend.”

“This place had great staff, service, food and fresh tasting margaritas and salsa. The tamales are the highlight—the masa is light and fluffy, not heavy or dry like most places, and they’re stuffed with meat that actually has flavor. The salsas are the real kicker; mild was great and the hot has a kick but so fresh you’ll keep dipping even when your mouth is watering. To top it off, the margaritas actually taste like tequila and fresh lime, not that sugary bottled mix. They’re strong, simple, and hit the spot perfectly.”

“We spotted this establishment In the heart of a cozy area of Kansas City, KS and thought we'd give it a try. We parked in their small side parking lot as street spaces were full. As we did so, we saw a steady 'take out' clientele. We intended to eat in and did. It's a small, clean, efficient space with cozy seating; multiple comfortable, small tables with seating for 4 (2 on each side). Straight ahead of the entrance is an order window. To the left are 3 self-serve drink dispensers offering trasitional Mexican drinks, a soda machine and pre-packaged refrigerated drinks. To the right of the order window, posted on the wall - are many lunch options, then breakfast options. Below the menus, a side cart offers self-serve topping options; an onion/carrot/jalapeno veg mix, limes, cucumbers and 6 different sauces (1 mild, 3 med, 2 hot). The young lady (who took our order AND made our meal) was friendly, informative and efficient. We ordered the #6 breakfast (an omelet with rice, beans and a choice of flour or corn tortilla; we chose flour). The food was delivered hot, straight off of the grill and absolutely delicious. Customer traffic was steady, a few ate in, more got meals to go. Service was consistent steady, friendly, efficient and competent. Don't know if the individual who served us is the owner but everything about her was done with a dedication and pride of someone who loves what they do and does it exceptionally well.”

“Ate their for my first time about 4 months ago. Amazing tacos with quick service at a great price. I have been back about 10 times since my first experience. I am american so I expected the tacos to have cheese and lettuce but the cilantro and onions are more then enough. The sauce is hot and I wish I could make it myself. If the al pastor tacos weren't so good I would try something else but haven't tried anything else since my first experience!!”

I always order burrito asada, and initially I was taken aback because they had beans in burrito. Now I find it part of the reason I love them. Big portions, friendly staff, and clean restaurant. I've never had a bad experience there! Amazing job Tacos El Gordo!!!”

“Really good little restaurant / shop! Clean, nice, excellent food. The tacos were stuffed & pastor was perfect. Some places char it too much so it's not tender, just right here. Guacamole was some of the best I've had and the roasted peppers, limes, & radish is a nice bonus. The picture doesn't do it justice, but even the take out wrapping is done with real care.”

“Ohemgee! We found a new fave stop on the Taco Trail. The tacos are hot fresh and FULL of meat. My carne asada and pastor tacos were flavorful and ¡muy delicioso! The meat was a little crispy but not dried out. The server at the counter was super friendly and gave us a little history lesson on the name (no this is not a food truck but a restaurant now… but they started as a truck many years ago). We got our sauces on the side because they came with a warning that they are not gringo mild. 😃”

“Went to get tacos at Bonito Michoacan in Kansas City, Kansas with Fantasia and friends. My first time here. In in Kansas, Kansas City. Area don't feel like the safest you can tell by all the bars in each establishment. Once we got in it was packed. I was not expecting a very long line. Thay is a sign that the food must be very good. I had the tacos, one was tongue 👅 tacos. Tacos were fresh and the spice they put on was hot, loved it. It was my level of spice!!! It was worth the drive, with the experience and food, I give this place a solid 7.2/10. Love it #benitomichoacan #tacos #ilovefood”
