There are not a lot of food places that get 5/5 stars in every category. This restaurant was very clean! Our server was extremely kind, welcoming, while also giving great recommendations. The food... The food deserved that moment of silence just now. It truly had my friend and I in pure bliss. The green salsa was my favorite but the hotter salsa which is the red orange was very good spicy, but greatly flavored.

got a breakfast burrito for the chiefs parade for the first time and loved it, we’ve come back 5 times now and every time have failed because they are never open. Our first mistake was going on a Saturday when closed but continued to come back 8-10 where it says breakfast burritos are served but still have not gotten one. Don’t waste your gas and time

Hands down my favorite street tacos in town. The atmosphere is SO sweet and the servers are always working so hard to make things incredible. It's wildly inexpensive for what you get and this place will truly turn your whole day around! Definitely give it a go.

TL;DR: While the food wasn't bad, there were a few disappointing items, and when you consider the service, price, and ambiance, there are much better Mexican joints all over the KC metro and Southwest Blvd in particular. If you want a recommendation, I love love love San Antonio Carniceria Y Tortilleria. Some friends and I stopped in for some tacos and tamales (not pictured) for dinner, and while most items were good, we weren't sure what to make of the chicken tacos, which tasted like they were seasoned with Indian curry powder (?). We were also disappointed by the tamales, which were mostly masa (tortilla paste) and not enough meat filling. Compared to other taco joints where you can grab your own limes, salsas, and condiments, there weren't enough limes to go around and we had trouble asking for more because the primary servers were two kids who were either busy serving orders or on their phones at the other side of the restaurant. Overall, it was a bit of an unfortunate experience. For the price, I'd still say it was worth it, but it wasn't quite the cool hole-in-the-wall we were expecting.

This restaurant has great service, charming decor and stays pretty busy with take out orders. I had an asada torta that was huge and delicious, it was a bit sloppy to eat but worth it. I got an assorted dozen tamales of pork and chicken to take home too, they told the cheese jalapeno are the most popular - I need to go back and try them. The green salsa that comes with chips when you dine in probably one of my favorite salsas in KC, in a spice wimp so if you like heat it may not be your deal.

Their food is world class. I absolutely love this restaurant. Additionally, Rico’s Taco Lupe is home to the tiniest bathroom on Earth. Such a relaxing, unique restaurant.
