New favorite Mexican place. It was -incredible-!! 11/10
Everything was so well seasoned. Some of the best queso and beans & rice in the KC metro. We got the grilled shrimp, jalapeño, & avocado appetizer (Jalapeño Camaron), which was so delicious. And then we got the seafood Molcajete (Molcajete Del Mar), which was mind blowing. Absolutely floored by how good it was and how sweet the staff was.

My wife and I have ate at the Lee's Summit location multiple times now over the past month after a recommendation from a friend. We have been beyond happy with our food and service each time. The shrimp and crab enchiladas are so dang good and the salsa is great. Will keep going back as we are addicted now!

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for 2+ years since we moved to Lees Summit. It’s the most authentic Mexican restaurant we can find in the area. We highly recommend you eat here! Servers are always so accommodating and the vibes are always so positive!
