“Taco Bell.

You know what it is.

I do have to say that this is closer to 4 and a half stars.

We’ve noticed Taco Bell quality has been improving overall, but this store is the BEST in the area for quality and service.

Great staff and always a nice place to have a quick snack or meal!“

“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“

“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“

“The service was quick, the chicken was hot and ready. The chicken was cooked to perfection and very juicy. The salsa was mild and refreshing, and the beans were very lively. This is the perfect lunch spot to get a quick meal. It's also reasonably priced.“

“Had the greatest dining experience we have ever had in a long time. Byron was awesome and took care of us above and beyond what he needed to do. The food was excellent and plenty of it. Definitely will go back again.“

“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 spent the last 8 months being away from home which is Texas. a little over a month into it, I found Los Alamos Cocina. they have the best Mexican food in the Kansas City area. it was such a comfort for me to have a taste of home away from home. I ate there every Saturday morning from the time I discovered it to the time I left. the owner and the staff are very awesome down the Earth humble people! I'm going to miss eating there and my interactions with El Jefe and Benito and everyone else! thank you Los Alamos Cocina for being my comfort away from home.“

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

“Chile rellenos are one of the best I’ve had.“

“🚨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!“

“Get the $5 birria taco box to go!“

“Carne Asada street tacos and torta were amazing. The meat is tender, flavorful and generously stuffed. College and Pflumm“

“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.“

“Awesome food. Awesome people.“

“I had tacos al pastor, and I swear they were the best EVER! Sweet corn tamales also amazing. Fabulous place, at excellent prices. Two of us ate, including a couple beers, for about $35 and we were stuffed.“

“Absolutely delicious 😋 🤤 was prepared very fast and fresh! Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming! I highly recommend 🌮🌮🌮🥰“

“My favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in Olathe. I have had an assortment of dishes here, and they were all delicious. Fajitas, Kansas Burrito, Carne Asada plate. The Chips and Dip is good, you can sometimes find a coupon for a free Queso Dip in one of the Valpak or other local flyers. There are only 2 draw backs when coming here. 1st, they are always very busy. Im not a big fan of crowds or being seated back to back against the next table and they try to pack those tables in there like sardines to service the most customers they can. 2nd is that the staff is not always friendly or even helpful when you have questions about a dish. But the food has always been excellent. Even on to go orders.“

“first time there today, staff was super friendly and the tacos were AMAZING. I only regret not getting more! I will definitely be going back“

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

“Muy Ricos el chiltepin y el ranchero jugositos y muy suaves,los frijoles charros tiene muy buen sabor y el arroz rojito,la salsa verde con buena consistencia😋😋 Aver que dia regreso para provar el Enchipotlado y las costillas“

“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 🏆✨“

“Yes I would recommend Torito Supermart for all of your fresh meat needs. They have the best and friendliest butcher shop.“

“excellent food, service, atmosphere. best Mexican restaurant in downtown.“

“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!“
