This place was excellent. As residents of OP, we aren't familiar with good restaurants in the area and open on Sundays. We were driving home from out of town and detoured to check this place out. I found it authentic, flavorful, fairly priced and a pleasing safe environment. The food came out promptly, would come again.

While we were enjoying our meal, an employee of the city of Independence came by to perform a check. While I can't speak to the legitimacy of the need for a check, I can speak to the utter lack of professionalism displayed by the city employee. We were sitting closely enough to hear the restaurant employee ask why they came by so often. He was not disrespectful. The whole restaurant was close enough to hear what the city of Independence's employee thought about that question. He got very loud and belligerent, accusing the restaurant employee of being argumentative and defensive when in fact he was the one who became that way when asked the question. There are ways of performing your duty, which certainly may have been a normal schedule or maybe on feedback, while also being respectful and understanding that the person may be wondering if it's too often. The restaurant employee shared that it was disrupting their operations when they repeatedly visit during busy times- I think there were better ways to let the restaurant employee feel heard while demonstrating that the check is either routine or necessary. Through all of this, the restaurant employee remained composed and courteous while the employee of the City of Independence was yelling and aggressive.

This happened today 11/23/2025 at 2:30pm, should it help to identify the City employee or event.

I am not familiar with the process of putting in complaints with the city of Independence so I'll put it here and anyone can direct me if desired or this can be used as evidence.

I wish this restaurant and those who run it well.

This used to be our go-to neighborhood mexican restaurant. Came in tonight and my favorite dish went from $10.95 to $16.95 with the same amount of food. The salsa was flavorless and very watery. My husband got the beef taco combo and the beef was flavorless and dripping with water or grease? I feel bad giving 2 stars because the service is good but the food was not. $40 down the drain..

My favorite Mexican place by far. The shrimp tacos are some of the best I have ever had!

I wish I can give them 0 Stars. It's Taco Tuesday and their tacos was $1.55 it came up to $32 for 20 tacos. Then they turn around and told me that it was a $5 debit card charge so all together I had to pay $34.The tacos was nasty as hell. The food was greasy the beef tacos was falling apart then the chicken tacos seem like they had shredded up chicken breast and then put it on the tacos and it was so dry. I won't be going back here again

DO NOT EVER EAT HERE!!!
Ordered a beef and bean burrito with extra cheese and extra sour cream, got a tortilla wrapped around ground beef with NO seasoning AT ALL, NO BEANS NO CHEESE, AND 1 TEASPOON OF SOUR CREAM ON TOP OF A SMALL PILE OF LETTUCE ON THE SIDE, GOT A BAG OF CHIPS AND A SPOONFUL OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RESTAURANT STYLE SALSA, BUT, OMFG, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS BUT IT WASN'T.ANYTHING EVER LIKE ANY KINDA OF SALSA OR MEXICAN SAUCE, IN FACT, IT TASTED LIKE AN ITALIAN REJECT.
I'LL EAT DIRT OR STARVE TO DEATH BEFORE I EVER EAT HERE AGAIN
