Mexican Restaurants near Leawood

“Talk about a fun environment. This is not your typical Mexican restaurant, from the bright color scheme to the live music and the food is like no other. If you are you looking for your not so typical Mexican restaurant VIVA Tacos & Tequila is your place.“

“My new favorite place. Everything was delicious.“

“The guy that made my bowl was short tempered with me. I could barely hear what he said. He barely put stuff on my bowl didn't even ask what I would like. I will say he over did it with the sauces. If this was my first time here, he would be no help.
There was one employee, I wish I got his name was very kind.“

“Excellent tacos“

“Went to Barbacoa, 5500 Troost, for brunch Sunday morning, what a delightful experience. I ordered Monie’s plate. It was mouthwatering. The serving was so generous, that I took half of it home. The corn tortillas were soft and warm enough to make a taco, the beans were flavorful and not spicy, the carnitas were fall apart tender and very tasty, perfectly fried potatoes, and fluffy scrambled eggs. The salsa was very tasty and not overly spicy. The coffee was even tasty (Costco Kirkland medium roast). Unlike some breakfast restaurants, the background music was so low and mellow (helps with digestion), I could hear my friends talk. We have to go back during the week for dinner. UPDATE - I forgot one very important thing, the service was excellent. Our group was one of two in the restaurant, but shortly afterwards other start to arrive. There was only one friendly waitress, who, despite the growing crowd, was able to get back to us about more coffee and to check on us“

“Jose was extra careful with my allergies and I really appreciate that plus the food was delicious“

“Used to live across the street years ago. Watched the city bus driver regularly jump out of the driver's seat at the corner stop, run in and grab his to-go breakfast in the mornings. If I didn't already know they had the best breakfast around, I suppose that would have been a good clue. Lovely family too. Don't miss the chile verde pork, and say hi to Augustin for me.“

“Food was super fresh and delicious. We are on our way back again today. If they had coke products instead of Pepsi I'd be there more lol“

“Loved Bingo night on Tuesdays“

“never disappointed! never can' get enough!!!“

“We love Torchy’s! We have been to many Torchy’s Tacos in different states but the KC location is our favorite! The food is always amazing. We drive up from Springfield about once a month to shop and eat at Torchy’s! The employees and management are always so friendly! Highly recommend!“

Vegetarian options: The mushroom quesadillas are my favorite.“

“The buffalo wings are tasty
It is unfortunate to give this description
But nowadays the wings are very small and the seasoning has changed a little, I am one of the people who likes to pay whatever it costs when I crave a meal that is delicious 😋 but I hope you take my constructive comment into account. Luck“

“Visiting here from St Louis to go to the Morgan Wallen concert and came across TACONACO KC… by far the BEST birria tacos I’ve ever had.. nice sized portions. Def worth it! Wish we had one in St.Louis“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! The quesa birria tacos are DIVINE and I could literally live on the broth they serve with every dish. Super authentic and super tasty. I literally CRAVE this food.“

“Run, don’t walk. This place is so damn good. I have had many of tacos in my life….these are truly at the top of my list. The KC taco….chefs kiss. The suadero….dont even get me started. Texture, juiciness, tenderness, crunch, zest, love. All things you want in a taco and they have it all plus some. We tried 6 tacos and all were incredible. Just….trust me. Go.“

“Delicious quick bite! Fresh ingredients! I will definitely be back!“

“🚨GUACAMOLE CHANGE! We’ve been coming to Ponaks for 30 years. The guacamole has aways been one of our favorites. Today we ordered it and immediately noticed something was different. We asked the server and he confirmed that they have changed their recipe, and it’s for the worst. They’ve added “filler” by putting pico and other ingredients into it. It’s not even close to what it was. I hope they don’t start changing their food and Margaritas!!! There is a reason people keep coming back year after year! Please dont mess with perfection Ponaks!“

“Delicious food and service! Great cheese dip and margaritas.“

“Authentic Home-made Salsa“

“Senorita Margarita is a hidden gem that brings together fantastic Mexican small bites, amazing cocktails, and exceptional service, all in a cool tiki-themed setting. The cocktails are top-notch, offering a delightful twist on classics and new creations that are perfectly balanced. The ambiance is vibrant and fun, making you feel like you're on a tropical getaway. Our server, Cheyenne, made the experience even better with her warm and attentive service. She was knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were spot-on. The small bites are fresh and flavorful, from the tasty tacos to the delicious guacamole. Senorita Margarita is a must-visit for anyone looking for great drinks, bites, and a unique vibe. Don't miss it!“

“We were here a while back and our food was delicious. I guess I forgot to leave a review then. Last night we were passing through Belton and my wife said we should stop at the small grocery store and eat dinner there. Again, our meals were delicious, we were greeted with smiles and friendly people.
They were helpful by explaining the menu items and taking our order. We chose a table and our food was brought to us hot and delicious. We will be back soon.
We enjoyed the atmosphere of eating in a small grocery store. It is clean and inviting. The folks here work hard to please everyone.
You need to try this place! Come inside, eat a meal, and pick up a few things from the grocery store before heading home. Enjoy!“

“Food is delicious. Really enjoy the restaurant/market combination.“

“This place is perfect in every way. They have the best chips and salsa of any Mexican Restaurants when me and my friends go we end up getting like 6 plates of chips and at least 3 refills of salsa each. The food is also fire the pork carnitas are Lightning in a bottle an amazing explosion of Flavor the carnitas tend to explode all over my hands, but that’s a me issue. Their pricing is also very good. I would recommend this place to all who are looking for great Mexican food!“

“Las mejores carnitas de todo Kansas city .😋“

“Food is delicious. Really enjoy the restaurant/market combination.“

“MUST EAT HERE!! We stopped in for dinner and a whim. It was new and we were hungry. We were greeted immediately and we were taken back to our table. Chips and salsa are so good! Thick chips and perfect salsa. We also ordered spinach and cheese dip which was also so perfect. I ordered their house margarita which was everything I wanted it to be.! I ordered the flautas. It came with rice and beans. Truly they were the best beans and rice! Everything I ate was so flavorful. I swear I meant to take a picture but I just kept eating and forgot. Service was top notch. Everyone that helped us was so friendly and genuine. The only downside to this restaurant is, it's not near my house. 😉 Maybe that's a good thing 😄😜 Highly recommend!!!“
