“If you’re looking for a meal that doesn’t just satisfy your hunger but leaves you in awe, then look no further than Mission Taco. From the very first bite, I knew I was in for something extraordinary—this wasn’t just your average taco joint. The flavors? Unbelievable. The freshness? Unmatched. Every bite of their tacos, bursting with bold, authentic flavors, completely blew my expectations out of the water.

And it’s not just the food that stands out—it’s the service. Walking in, I felt like I was more than just another customer. It was as if I had been welcomed into a family, with the staff treating each table like they’ve known you for years. Orders were taken swiftly, and before I could even get comfortable, the food was already in front of me—piping hot and perfectly prepared.

Mission Taco isn’t just a place to eat; it’s an experience. One where passion for food meets a deep love for community, and you feel it from the moment you step inside. Exceptional food, incredible service, and a vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. This is a taco mission you don’t want to miss!“

“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“

“Solid authentic food truck. I live in the neighborhood and I've stopped three or four times now and it has never disappointed. My girlfriend is a gringo so I typically only order Asada, Pastor, and Chorizo, no stomach or cheek, but they are top notch and we love the grilled onions, cucumbers, and radishes that come with them and the green salsa is delicious. Can't go wrong here and super affordable.“

“My son and I had a great experience at the Fuzzys in Overland Park. The fun was good, hot, and great portions. But I must say that our server/cashier, Arturo really made the experience for us. He was energetic, patient, and really helpful with my order. He made me wanna go back!“

“Healthy options and a very friendly staff, will surely come back anytime possible.“

“I lived a year in Santa Monica and found the BEST “California” burrito (asada, fries, cheese, guac) ever and I was legit sad to move just because of that burrito. After a year of living in KC again, I found Tiki and I can confidently say it’s just as good (the KC burrito) and I am a loyal follower here. Good food, pretty good pricing, and a good restaurant feel.“

“I get the KC Burrito, it’s best with fries but awesome with rice, too. Their green hot salsa and their extra hot salsa, I believe it’s a habanero base, is amazing and has good heat!

Definitely worth getting ANYTHING on their menu.“

“Very good!!! First time in. Kris helped me out and was excellent customer service.“

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

“This is not your typical taco shop, they specialize in seafood dishes, ceviche specifically. It does have the typical atmosphere of a taco shop, but the food is better imho. I had fish tacos and my friend had the ceviche. We were both impressed by the presentation and flavor of the food and will be back when we are in that neighborhood again. Costs a bit more than your typical taco shop, but worth it.“

“Doña Mary is a wonderful person, her food is delicious and always retains its flavor. He always gives you a smile and makes your day!! ☺️

Don't hesitate to let him own, the price of his food is very convenient and you will love it!“

“Friendly, quick service, AMAZING food! I hope this place sticks around because they are so dang good.“

“Crave was at our neighborhood block party tonight and I have to say- best tacos ever! Do yourself a favor and give it a try! Great people, great food! Thanks for coming out to Hallbrook“

“Good food. But they want to charge you for sauces. As if they paid. ? I better go to another one

Food is great but funny how they try and charge you for extra sauce when you can go anywhere else and get all the sauce you want.“

“Amazing food truck!! Great friendly service well priced and the food is so fresh.“

“They are very very rich and serve super fast“

“Wow, totally exceeded my expectations. Stopped in for a quick late dinner thinking it was a simple taco shop. I think I just found my new fav place. Excellent food, served quickly and super friendly staff that went above and beyond. Had the special of the month, yum yum hibachi burrito. 20/10!“

“Best Ramen in OP! Service is awesome, new drink menu is very good also.“

Vegetarian options: The mushroom quesadillas are my favorite.“

“Authentic Home-made Salsa“

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

“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“

“Great good! Great service! Great music! Would highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back!“

“A true gem! Great atmosphere, great beer tenders, and the beer is excellent! Love that the selection changes often, so there is always an amazing new beer to try!“

“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.“

“I can't say enough about this place. They aren't the average Mexican restaurant. They have unique dishes and whoever is working the grill in the back. They cook shrimp with perfection. The restaurant decor is a lot of white and RGB lighting. It doesn't really match what is coming out of the kitchen. This place is fantastic. The portions are large. It's not the cheapest Mexican restaurant. At the same time, you are getting high quality food and portions large enough you can only eat half at best. Two meals per visit is how we see it. The Ranchito Burrito. It's my go to. You can do carryout here and the food is 10x better than Chipotle, half the cost, and twice the size.“

“Who doesn't like tacos!?!? Best in KC.“

“Wow…. Everything is very spectacular. I am usually a customer with a demanding palate. I also observe everything in detail. I was very skeptical about the place when I saw it from the outside, but when you enter you have the kitchen in front of practically all the tables and that is to be feared because not every restaurant has that challenge of placing the kitchen in front of where you eat, because the biggest fear is seeing how things are prepared and getting a bad impression, but the truth is I was delighted. I ordered a seafood soup and I got the biggest impression. Its size and proportions are worthy. to admire at first when I looked at the yellow rice I didn't believe I usually eat that type of soup with white rice, but the truth is the rice tasted very delicious and was shelled, it wasn't a dough my friend ordered two baleadas and they were huge for I don't like my preference with meat, but that is everyone's taste, it doesn't mean that it tasted bad, I was completely satisfied, the service was very adequate, for the size of the restaurant they represent, their food is on another level, I want to explain myself I exceeded all expectations I had, it is difficult to find places like this, I 100% recommend the place, I did not find a single thing that I could complain about, there is not one, the people who work there are very friendly.“

“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!“

“The Stockyard Tap Room Brewery is my FAVORITE brewery in Kansas City. It is such a warm and friendly establishment with the best staff ever. I’ve never had unpleasant experience in the several years that I’ve been going. It’s a home away from home. If you want a nice intimate place to have a conversation and throw back a few beers this is the place to go.“

“good customer service and great food Philly cheese was on point“

“The staff was extremely friendly and the restaurant was very clean. I ordered the Seafood Basket and the food was so fresh it was too hot to eat. The price mark was very affordable and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend coming here for lunch. I will return to try the Chicken Philly and maybe a few Mexican options.“

“I took my nieces and nephew shopping and they insisted in coming to the walking tacos. Best decision I ever made! The kids were really happy as was I with the overall quality of the food and the service. I was told by the kids that this is their hangout spot and where all of their friends like to eat. The fact that they also have a QR code one could order from was amazingly convenient. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Tacos and Frozen custard!“

“Everything was good, I think the tacos are over priced considering you get a single taco, and if you get the chicken sandwich and want it to have any heat to it, get the hot cause I got medium, which is the option just below hot, and didn't feel any heat, but it still tasted good.“

“My husband and i love this place’ delicious tacos. Fresh salsas we love that they offer sauteed onions on the side of every order of tacos. Friendly staff. Definitely our usual taco spot. Elotes are good! They are not stingy with the toppings 10/10“

“Riquísimas quesabirrias y el consomé ni se diga… regreso pronto“

“Food is always excellent. I ate here two times in a week and I live a bit away. I wish they had outdoor seating so that I could sit and eat my tacos while they are sizzling hot. El Pastor is ? every time!

Parking: The truck is literally in a parking lot“

“Went to Barrio for Happy Hour. Relaxed environment, friendly staff, delicious food. The cost was reasonable, and portions were healthy. Would definitely dine here again!

Kid-friendliness: A lot of high-top tables--wouldn't take mine there, but to each their own!“

“Taco Cacao catered a wedding I attended this past weekend. Excellent tacos. I attempted to bribe the guy how they make their chipotle mayo sauce but he kept his trade secret. Steak tacos were my favorite. Even convinced one of their cooks to take a picture in the Photo Booth with me. Good dudes!“

“I was 2 doors down from you at the dentist and saw your sign....asked the crew at the dentist and they highly recommended going there!! So after my appointment, I did!! And it was all delicious!! Tried a salad with a couple of sides and the price was reasonable too! I will definitely be back!! :)“
