46 Best Mexican Restaurants in Kansas City

“Best chicken in Kansas City. Locally owned and so damn good! The half chicken is more than filling, comes with soft tortillas, pickled onions, pinto beans, and a variety of hot sauces to choose from. The buffalo wings are good but VERY spicy. They have bottled pops like jarritos and cokes, fantas. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The food is fresh and very delicious. I love eating at Daisy's !Their service is so good .I highly recommend Daisy's Mexican Restaurant 🥰“

“Taco’s are good but burritos and mexican chile is great! I have ate here for years and have learned that getting help is hard. I advise you to take a trip and try out Jalisco’s!“

“One of my favorite places to eat. Food is delicious and fresh always. Best known for the burgers but have other delicious plates. Their aguas frescas are…AMAZING! The pepino agua was my favorite! Service was great. Got packed with to-go orders but still managed to tend the tables.“

“THE BEST!! great food and drinks, the service is exceptional, and the best mole you will ever find.“

“Finally had the chance to try the taco sauce and chips today. They have become a staple to my house I never knew I was missing!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious and the customer service is the best around. Service with a smile is everything!!“

“Lo mejor de KC! Riquísimo restaurante y excelente servicio! Ofrecen varios platillos mexicanos auténticos y riquísimas aguas frescas!! El Machetazo está en mi top list de favoritos 🏆✨“

“Their food is amazing. I drive 1 hour to eat there, and a hour home. Food is still warm when I get home. 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!!!“

“Stopped in to pick up some burritos here for the first time after seeing this place recommended on Reddit burrito threads. They were still piping hot when I got home and we absolutely enjoyed them. Great size and great value for the price. Looking forward to trying out their tacos next time and other menu items.“

“Mmmm - everything is really good“

“Home made food Delicioso!! Autentic mexican food 100% and the best healthy.“

“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. 😃“

“In love with their food, customer service, and atmosphere. Ate at El Camino and I’m counting down the days until I can go back! Found it through a food blogger and truly believe this place is a hidden gem.“

“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.“

“Towing the owners car turned out to be the biggest blessing in disguise. The food is incredible, and Saul was a tremendous guy working the counter. I don’t have enough good things to say about this place and the people who operate it. If you’re a fan of good elote, this is the place to hit. 5 stars everytime.“

“La comida 🤤 es realmente deliciosa 😋“

“Tan buenos que estaban los burritos ya no porque metieron esas tortillas de las más varatas de esas comerciales ya perdieron un cliente Más“

“My granddaughter and I ate there last week. The happy hour Margaritas were delish! Our waiter Alejandro was the best! We will definitely be going back on a regular basis!“

“Es un lugar limpio y atención amable. Pedí un caldo Siete Mares. Aparte de estar bien servido estuvo delicioso. Le pregunté a la chica de cuantos días era el caldo y ella me dijo, el caldo es de hoy. Y efectivamente el caldo estaba recién hecho. Quedé super lleno y aparte sobró para llevar.😋“

“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.“

“buen servicio🤗 y deliciosa la comida 😋“

“Las mejores quesabirrias en Kansas sin lugar a duda!!! Vale la pena probarlos e ir desde donde sea!!!“

“Best chicken street tacos this side of the border. Actually, best this side of the solar system so, you know they’re great!“

“You must try La Nena! The Roasted chicken and side dishes are extremely good!“

“Must visit place! Handmade fresh tortillas themselves are worth visiting for! Menudo, pozole, and tacos were authentic and tasty! Atmosphere not much to look at but this is one of those "hole in the wall" places people talk about. No pics to provide “

“To be honest I love their food, prices are good, it’s cash only restaurant so bring some with you
Their service is great, advice if you don’t want to wait show exactly at 7:50 it gets busy
No complaints at all it’s a very small local so about 10 tables of 4 maybe, I might be wrong
Hot and great quality of food😊“

“This is exactly the kind of low-key spot I love. Phenomenal tortillas made-to-order, and lengua and al Pastor tacos that had me pulling out all the Spanish/Portuguese I know to convey how much I appreciated the meal. So f-ing good!“
