Must-try dishes include their ceviche, pollo feliz, and excellent chips and salsa. Overall, a top-notch authentic dining experience that leaves you craving more. Highly recommended!“
“Too loud, tables were sticky. Some tables were separated by a glass and we could see the other family. A little cute girl kept interrupting us by waving, hitting the glass. Etc. They need to put a poster or something to make it more private.“
“I recently relocated to Wichita from Southern California and didn't expect to find a gem like this! The adobada & carne asada vampiros are addicting! We're there weekly, the food, drinks & service can't be beat! Plus they have a really cute outdoor seating area, ya gotta give them a try“
“Small cozy family restaurant with excellent service and great food! If you are breakfast person looking for Mexican or American style breakfast this is the place! The standard Mexican fare are available for lunch and supper with some specialty items! Try it! You’ll like it!“
“One of the best places to get ice cream in town! They have a huge selection of homemade ice cream. I absolutely love the homemade vanilla. They also have sundaes and banana splits. Don’t forget to grab some food while you’re there too. Service is exceptional. Outdoor seating in the summer is probably my favorite thing about this place. There’s plenty of parking on the premises.“
“I’ve been twice, both time had different burgers. Incredible flavor and extremely juicy! Atmosphere is like a family. I got to meet the owner Jeremy, you can tell he has a passion for great food and loves his city! If you haven’t been here, you are missing out!!!“
“Very authentic, fresh grilled taste. Price is fair with large quantities in the portions. The chicken burrito came out leaking fresh grease and was very natural and delicious. Made for a good picnic trip to nearby park.Parking: It gets busy but there's a few grills on the parking lot so if you get around traffic there should be sufficient free parking on the west corner of the lot. The east side is full of other businesses' traffic.“
“The food I saw going past my cable coming out looked excellent I had a taco salad which was great my partner had some kind of dish I don't know but it looked really good we were there for lunch and it took a long time but they were short of wait staff. The prices were very “
“Valentines dinner. Felipes struggled tonight. We waited for drinks. We waited for napkins. We waited for just drinking water. Three people working the floor making drinks, serving food, bussing tables, bringing out more "wants"...figuring sales tickets.....it was crazy! They managed it ALL as best they could. All 3 workerbees were in a dead run the entire evening, doing their very best! Patience is a virtue. Most all the diners took it in their stride! Kev & I were happy to see the diners kindness for the servers struggles. Nice evening! We tipped big, and gave much needed verbal praise and appreciation before we left. It made their night. Minimum wage! Tips matter! Happy Valentines Day to all! Thanks Kev!!“
“My first time at Puerto Vallarta Restaurant but have had their food catered at work. Well catering food was awesome so we had to try the restaurant. Amazing food, Amazing service thanks to Maria and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend this place. I wish I would have taken a picture of my plate but I didn’t. Delicious. I got the smoothed burrito yum!!!“
“5☆ YumYummyYummyYummmmYummmmmmmm!!!!!I am a horrific picky eater but found many years ago their stuffed pepper! It is just as wonderful today as it was then maybe better!!!!You have to give it a chance!!! The pepper! The place is simple its a must go!!!!“
“The owner and her husband are so sweet! I always feel very welcomed and treated like family! I love the fried Tilapia!!! It’s seasoned to perfection, I always ask for the head to be removed ?? it just grosses me out as if it's looking at me so the owner is always very kind with my request removing that part. She never makes me feel like it's a burden or inconvenience.“
“First time trying this place! I got ( left to right) barbacoa, Al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas. Favorites were barbacoa at #1, so rich and fatty (the good kind) and flavorful, then Al pastor, then carnitas, then carne asada (a little too over cooked for me but still delicious flavor)“
“It is the second time I have eaten in a Mexican restaurant and this time at Gorditas Durango it was a special experience, excellent service, reasonable prices, pleasant atmosphere, excellent, fresh and well prepared food and above all the cleanliness and order of the living room and kitchen stood out. I am a professional chef and that is why I have such a thorough opinion... whenever I am in that area I will go because it is fantastic. HugsParking: Spacious and on the restaurant grounds.“
“I’ve been looking for a great authentic Mexican restaurant and Connie’s is it! The food is amazing and portions are generous. The wait staff nice and helpful. My friend loves to ask wait staff at any restaurant their favorite things on the menu and the suggestions we got at Connie’s did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend.“
“Very limited menu but we came for the street tacos and weren't disappointed. Go early cause the sign says they serve until its gone and they did at 2 the Sunday we were there. The carne asada and al pastor were both well seasoned. Three different hot sauces. None are mild. Not a tex-mex place. Nobody had a pile of shredded cheese and iceberg lettuce on their food.“
“Not that they need anymore great reviews but I love this place so much I had to get it again! 2x in 1 week :) be patient as they have increased business now! 10/10 recommend everything on the menu *chefs kiss* + super friendly great service!“
“My kids told me about this food truck I've never purchased food from a food truck so this was my first time and I was sold after the first bite they have fast service they are friendly and the foods great I've been back 3 times since my first visit the carne asada is A1 and the super nachos with chicken.“
“We loved our lunch experience at Mexico Viejo! The service was the absolute BEST! Our server was always smiling, friendly, and attentive. He helped us select what we wanted from their vast menu, and our food was delicious! I loved Enchiladas Rancheras I ordered, and my friend's beef burrito was exactly how she ordered it. The chips were so fresh that they were still warm and had grease on them. We will definitely go back again.“
“My visit to El Capitan Restaurant and Grill was generally positive. The seafood Mexican dishes were delicious, offering a tasty blend of flavors. I had the bacon wrapped shrimp and it was great! However, I must note that the service was only average, which slightly impacted the overall experience. Despite this, I would still recommend El Capitan for those craving a flavorful seafood Mexican meal“
“Went here for the first time yesterday to meet a friend after just returning from vacation in Mexico. Was so impressed, that I'm going back today and bringing my wife and friends. Food is authentic. and the service amazing. Birrieria Raymundo is legit!!!“
“Good cheap bomb affordable drinks great way to get lunch in a busy day of construction.no bathroom not all staff speak English but they know what u needParking: No way to not get parking I pulled up in a big rig w vactron attached and plenty of space left“
“One of the best Mexican restaurants in town. Gotta love that their house salsa is actually a little spicy and the tortillas are fantastic. Excited to come back soon.Vegetarian options: lots of optionsDietary restrictions: gluten freeParking: so much parkingKid-friendliness: kids will love it hereWheelchair accessibility: not an expert but looked doable. tables are nicely spaced.“
“A newly found gem for my family. We were passing through town and looked for a good taco place that was priced well. We stopped here and were very impressed! The prices are great. The food isn't too greasy like many fast food joints. They have a great variety of food, the place was clean, we didn't have to wait long for our food, and there is very adequate parking. And man, their food tastes awesome! We'll be back.“
“Oh my,.. we definitely loved stopping in here for lunch. I had the Carne asada burrito. Which was the best burrito that I had in some time. We also shared some Carne Asada tacos that were just delicious. We also really enjoyed the salsa Verde gorditas.. we are really looking forward to returning again..“
“Good little restaurant for an authentic Mexican meal. Space is tight but if you can get in at the right time then it’s worth the trip for the fresh chips and salsa alone. Menu prices are very reasonable and service was speedy once I got seated. The puffy taco meal I chose was good yet a little basic for my taste, but I will be back to check out a combination dinner of more creative menu items next time. I recommend trying El Patio for a simple and traditional Mexican meal while downtown. You can’t miss the cool matador mural on the side of the building.“
“OMG! This was amazing! We got the 7 seafood soup and shrimp cocktail with ceviche. The broth for the soup was flavorful and the finish, like butter. Seafood was fresh. Best ceviche I've ever had. Cocktail sauce was excellent. They have the good soda from Mexico too! We had a hard time choosing because everything looked so good. We will definitely be back.“
“I recently tried a Mexican restaurant and it was like a fiesta in my mouth! The flavors were so vibrant and delicious that I wanted to do a happy dance right there in my seat. The only downside was that my burrito was so big, I had to take a siesta afterwards. But trust me, it was worth it!“
“Wichita has a huge hispanic culture so tacos were a must have. I love to check out food trucks and support the small people, so Jalisco's Taqueria was a great spot for me to stop at. 3 Lengua and 2 Carne Asada was perfect way to wrap up my day.@phidingthefam“
“Tried this Mexican restaurant for the first time. It was really good. The family and I were able to sit and enjoy a nice meal together. The salsa was delicious with a little heat my son and I demolished it. Mexican food has always been my favorite and I would recommend this to anyone.“
“Really Good spot and for the Low. Highly recommend! Maybe better to call for pickup because it gets packed, at least on Sundays. Wish they made handmade tortillas, but if you can make them or find them like at Rio Bravo market, hits the spot every time!“
“We went at 9 on a Friday. no wait, after leaving another establishment that didn’t wait in us for 20 mins. I had the burria tacos with amazing consume as well as all the different and fresh hot sauces. My friend ordered nachos and they were amazing as well. The chips were thick, crunchy and a little chewy, fresh fried with the right amount of salt. No soggy chips here! I ordered a fun drink, and it came with a fresh orchid flower. If tequila is your thing, they have pages upon pages of selections. Beautiful restaurant, excellent food and service. The only complaint was that the seating was a little close for me. They sat us at a 6top, (3, 2-tops pushed together and then sat someone at the opposite end of the table.“
“I got to say the food is delicious an unfortunate for me I got short with them because I was in a hurry I had to get back to work I thought it'd be fast in and out now if you have time to go and hang out for a little bit and actually sit down to enjoy a meal Sylvia's is the place to go what if you're in a hurry and you're on your lunch break and you go there and you hope for it to be fast service you might get a little frustrated like I did but really love the food the people are friendly and it's worth going back to“
“Went for lunch on 3/30/24. Clean restaurant, nice, and friendly staff. I Asada burrito with rice and beans, the burrito was good size and tasted great. The beans were a little salty and the rice was okay. My girlfriend had Barbacoa with rice and beans. The Barbacoa was very good. Tortillas were huge, thick, and tasty. We'd definitely go back again to try other dishes. Excellent food at a great price.“
“I discovered this new taco place on my way to school at Wichita State. I’ve been looking for a good Mexican taco place for a while now & I can tell you this place is very good. Quesabirrias and Menudo on the weekends as well. I love their carne asada tacos. The owners are very nice & fast service. I recommend it 100% ❤️“
“I discovered this place because my friend is very sick and the tacos here are the only thing I know I can get her to eat on a regular basis. I love that I have discovered your place because your Carnita tacos are amazing! I always get avocados added on top. As a matter of fact I think I’m going for lunch today! Very friendly staff and reasonably priced.“
“I love the food at Road Runner Mexican Fast Food on N Maize Rd! Their fish tacos are to die for! YUM!!! Try them, and you'll love them too! They have a vast menu of delicious food to choose from. If you're really hungry, you may want to try a burrito.“
“I was in the mood for a quesadilla. Since taco Lopez is right across the street from my business, and on my way home. I decided to give it a try. O.M.G. I have only gone through the drive through. Ordered the carne asada quesadilla. Took it home. It was so full of meat and meaty cheese. It was huge! It was so good. So good in fact I just went back today for lunch. The enchiladas are just as amazing. My favorite is the carne asada quesadilla. It doesn't need salsa. I will be going back to try everything. That is my mission. If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and stop in.“
“I have been trying to find the best Al pastor tacos in Kansas ever since I moved here from west coast… Tacos el Vago amazed my tastebuds. The spice, the flavor… amazing! I loved and I will be back when in Wichita. Thank you for your service. My tummy is satisfied.“
“The food and service at Tequilas is excellent! I've recently used them for both dine in and take out, and each time, it's been fantastic! The chips and salsa prior to the meal taste great. I typically order a small queso as well, and would highly recommend trying it if you haven't! My go to entree is the Pollo Bandido which comes smothered in their cheese dip. Wether it has been dine in or take out, the food is always hot and delicious! The waitstaff and the owners are always friendly and check in to make sure your meal turned out the way you wanted it!“
