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.“

“First time at this location. Same good food. Less than ideal circumstances. We waited a wildly long time for only 3 people in front of our group. We were a group of six. It was 2pm. While it wasn’t “dirty”, the food bar they moved our bowls through was a bit of a wreck. The outdoor tables had definitely not been wiped off in a long time. None of the bowls were full and when one of us ordered the guacamole (which you pay extra for) it was the end of the bowl, which we were fine with, but it wasn’t even a half a spoon and they didn’t add more from a new bowl. Everything was just a bit sub-par. I did love how much outdoor seating they had. A lot of it shaded. Big thumbs up for that.“

“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“

“Let me tell you something, if I love and miss KC is for this reason, this place remind me my most favorite and beautiful memories with my wife, hang out in the morning and breakfast chicken, de Los mas sabrosos que puedas encontrar en Kansas City“

“Our #1 Mexican restaurant pick! The food is authentic and is just as I ate when I was younger living in Southern California.“

“We’re visiting from out of state and always like to try a good Mexican place. Loved it. Great food and great service. Would definitely come back !!!!! Muy bueno!!“

“Red Bridge is my favorite Barrio but Brookside is close second mainly because of limited space. Service and food has always been spot on which keeps me coming back! I've brought friends and they agree.“

“Los Alamos Cocina is easily the best authentic Mexican food in KC. The menudo and pozole is best ive ever had and the chili rolo and verde are both outstanding, tastes exactly like homemade because they are. Wonderful family owned stop in a historic area of KC. oh and dont forget to treat yourself to the best chillaquiles and eggs you'll ever have. Delicious! The catering we got for our New Years feast was a huge hit as well: tamales, pork verde and menudo. EXCELLENTE!“

“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“

“........Good Menudo........“

“The best Mexican food I have ever had!! It's better than any restaurant also. Huge portions so go hungry.“

“Had a great time at Guy Fieri’s Dive & Taco Joint while enjoying the soccer atmosphere at Kansas City’s Power & Light District. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the carne asada fries, and both were delicious. The carne asada was flavorful, and the fries were loaded and perfect for sharing.

The service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively with lots of fans around. Great food, great energy, and a fun place to hang out while watching soccer. We would definitely come back next time we’re in Kansas City! ⚽🌮😊🔥“

“There is no better Mexican cuisine in Belton, Raymore,or the Grandview area than La Lupita!The food is delicious and authentic, the price is reasonable,and we feel at home when we are here.Ruben,his wife,and family are such great people,we have been going here consistently for about ten years and that is only going to change if they move the restaurant!“

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

“🚨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!“

“Fantastic experience ordering burritos for a large group at my work. Tasty options, easy process, and will be choosing them for catering again!“

“A very nice spot for some good food, with a few TVs showing the soccer matches made for a comfortable feeling to our meal. We also did a Margherita flight, and they all were amazing! So fresh and flavorful. The queso fundido was the highlight of the food, with the main entrees coming in strong as well. Highly recommend, staff was all very friendly and attentive without being overbearing, you won't be disappointed!“

“Whether it’s catering for 50+ or dinner for one, great place.“

“80th Street location We usually go to the one on 151st but saw a review in a group and this one was so cute decided to try it. We went on Monday, had such an amazing dinner that we went back tonight (Tuesday). Our servers both nights were beyond friendly and knowledgeable. I forgot Mondays server name but tonight was Marcos and he was the absolute best! I had the tortilla soup both nights and I just want a gallon of it, the best I have ever had. The toppings added to it overall, and the fresh avocado was so tasty. Really, get it, you won't be the same after. Is getting it 3 days in a row excessive? Hmmmm Taco Tuesday tacos $1 each, ground beef or chicken. The ground beef is well seasoned, and delicious. The avocado salsa is another must try. This is a must and my new favorite place.“

“Excellent food and service. Al pastor is my favorite.“

“Love the food, atmosphere, and service. The last time I ordered a dish that was a bed of rice covered with chicken fajitas and smoother with queso cheese. It was to die for!!!“

“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“

“Highly recommend Pinches! I messaged them to make me a birthday tray shaped as a 36 with tacos. They absolutely delivered and I was super happy with the result. Tacos were good too! (picture in comments of the tray)“

“Myself and my small party of two more people stop by at around 10pm on 6/1/26. We went inside and put in our order, hoping to dine-in as well. Our fault for not realizing they close their lobby at 10pm. Upon being notified of this, the young lady Payton, behind the counter was very professional, sweet and understanding when I asked if we could have our meal inside. Which we did. And I think that alone made a normally good experience- GREAT!

Thank you again, Payton for the great service!“

“las mejores Carnitas de kansas“

“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!“

“Excellent atmosphere, with salsa playing in the background. We sat in the patio, the weather was amazing, food delicious, my espresso martini with cafe de olla was the best thing ever, they were able to make a plate that was ni longer in the menu at our request. Santiago our server was amazing, very friendly, the best customer service experience for sure. Will definitely come back for the food, the drink but mostly the service.“

“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!“
