18 Best Mexican Restaurants near Peculiar

“Mom and pop shop. My favorite kind. The decor isn't worth writing home about, but the service and food are great. My wife and I have eaten there three times so far and will be back many more times. Recommended.“

“first test chips and salsa...salsa fresh and flavorful chips thin crispy fresh , guacomole good, spinach enchiladas delish including generous amount of fresh spinach bathed in white and mole sauce, black bean lover loved the black beans and refried beans also yum and finally a perfect syrup/soda mix pepsi cola....which was refilled by the very attentive staff if it dipped below the halfway point, I was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. Inconvenient to my location I will nonetheless be back. Its worth the drive.“

“There is no better Mexican cuisine in Belton, Raymore,or the Grandview area than La Lupita!The food is delicious and authentic, the price is reasonable,and we feel at home when we are here.Ruben,his wife,and family are such great people,we have been going here consistently for about ten years and that is only going to change if they move the restaurant!“

“Me and my friend went Feb 13th kind of late. But still was out and paid by 10. Our server was Chris. He was the BEST. Customer service really has gone down I feel. But not with him. He was so upbeat and kind and funny. Probably his last table of the night. He is one of the best servers I have had in KC. I will ask for home every time if he’s there. I think it’s important to shout out the people who deserve it.“

“We have been trying to get to this restaurant for some time. We finally made it! It was certainly worth the drive. This will be our go-to for Mexican food. The food was outstanding, from chips and salsa to entrees. Everything was done to perfection. It was simply the best Mexican food I've had in years. Though it is a bit of a drive for us, we will definitely be back--often. I highly recommend you give them a try, I don't believe you will be disappointed. They deserve ten stars!“

“6/27/25 went there for supper. waiter had no personality, our food was nasty and was cold when served to us. Best part of the meal was the chips, salsa, cheese sauce and guacamole. Waited for ever to get the bill, finally got his attention and had to ask him for it. Can not recommend this place to anyone.“

“Our family loves this family owned restaurant. They have great food and are very welcoming and friendly.“

“First time here. The food was delicious. We had the chicken tortilla soup, shrimp tacos, pork carnitas burrito and super burrito. We will be back. Thank you Daniela.“

“Tremendous and authentic Mexican food experience. The food is better than I can describe, and its taste is beyond the scope of spoken or written words. The servers are incredibly gracious and kind, and they are very fast in their service. The accuracy of the orders, and the ease of ordering was unparalleled. I would describe this experience has almost dream like due to the nature of the high quality of the food and environment. If you have not visited this restaurant you truly are missing out on a life-changing experience.“

“OUTSTANDING! Such good food and incredibly friendly service. Quick, as well. Had the Verde Pork Tamales…so tasty!!! Even the rice, which is never much of an attraction, was SO flavorful at El Porto. Hubs had Poblano Burrito…also receives high praises.“

“I eat the best tacos....I just I loved.....I came back again....<3“

“Finally!

This is the place I’ve been searching for, some of the best chorizo tacos. Lots of onion and cilantro 👌🏼 I remember having them up at Westport years ago but they seem better than ever. Everything was hot and fresh and packaged decent. The biggest plus for me is I didn’t have to spend a fortune for good portions. This should be a go to for all.“

“My favorite Mexican restaurant, and it's in my hometown! Come hungry. because you're going to get a lot of food! Great deals for lunch Monday through Saturday 11-3! Don't sleep on the queso fundido: best dip ever! Scrape off the cheese that hardens on the skillet and put it on a tortilla chip. You'll thank me later!“

“I have tried almost everything on the menu and everything I have tried is incredible. I am in love with the Birria especially the ramen.“

“This is only my 2nd visit and to be honest my first experience wasn’t great. I let the manager know and the customer experience was top tier and they made sure I was able to satisfied on my 2nd visit. So for this reason they get 5 stars from me because customer experience everything.“

“Love this place. The staff is sooo friendly and the food is great!“

“Quiet and cozy. The authentic Mexican food was excellent. My wife and I had the "El Gordo" and it came out on 2 plates and we split the food. We were both stuffed and very impressed. I consider this an incredible value as we both got very full of amazing food for only $15.99 for the 2 of us each eating 1/2 of the order. I am looking forward to going back.“

“AMAZING FOOD!!! Service was fast and friendly. Fried mushrooms were so good, as was the marinara sauce that came with the mozzerella sticks. I would buy a jar of that in a heartbeat! We will definitely be back.“
