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.“

“as a few others have noted we have experienced a few quality control issues at this location but we will tell you yesterday was probably one of the best chipotle meals we've had all around ever! The honey chipotle chicken is definitely a hit but the quality and portions yesterday were amazing and everyone in my family said something without being prompted so maybe they're turning a corner!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

“........Good Menudo........“

“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!“

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

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

“The environment here is very inviting and unique! We have been here almost 10 times now so I feel I can leave a good review. We are always greeted and seated promptly. We have never had to wait. Actually the restaurant has never been full when we’ve gone but I believe this is actually due to their fast service rather than a reflection of the food. The waiters are excellent and the food comes out quickly. Prices are very reasonable. There are multiple artistic touches and photo ops throughout the restaurant. They do have some outdoor seating. The bathrooms are nice and clean.

A convenient neighborhood Mexican spot but truly good food! Our go to spot for Mexican food since it opened in mission!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“las mejores Carnitas de kansas“

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

“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)“

“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!“

“🚨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!“

“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“

“I love getting tongue tacos here. Best in town.“

“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!“

“First time trying this place and was not disappointed! In fact, it impressed me so much that here I am leaving a review.

“Awesome food and service!“

“Love it here been going for over 16 years Great service and delicious food“

“Really fun atmosphere, great service and great food. The Al Pastor tacos were my favorite blending unique flavors of sweet fruits with small pieces spicy jalapeno peppers. A real treat for the taste buds. We went on a Tuesday night which was Taco Tuesday. They had $3 tacos (you can pick from four options) and discounts in drinks. I tried the Al Pastor, Cheeseburger Taco, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Chicken Tinga. All four were very good.“
