50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Raytown

“My hands down favorite Mexican restaurant in Raytown. love the small feel even with the new addition.“

“Carlitos tacos are the best tacos around. Wish they would open one in Independence. The one in Gladstone is not as tasty as the ones in Raytown…don’t know what they do different“

“Love their food it has been awhile since we went there and they still treated us great and remembered us!“

“It was ok. Quality and taste has went down over the last couple years. Salsa tastes like weak, watery spaghetti sauce. Chips were cold used to be served warm. No real flavor to the food any more. Have given them SEVERAL different chances, it has increasingly gotten worse, not sure that my family will return when there are so many other Mexican Restaurants nearby that we have actually enjoyed. It really is too bad because the staff is always great but we go there for the food and it has been sub par.“

“Food was served super fast and was absolutely delicious! The birria tacos are amazing!“

“The server ( Brian maybe) was amazing. He treated us like family“

“Every. Single. Time. We've had an issue, it's been corrected perfectly. We love this Taco Bell. To the young lady at the counter, you're customer service is IMPECCABLE. You were so very nice to us in correcting our order. The offer for the oil change stands. You manager is amazing. Seriously. You guys rock.

“Visited this restaurant on Monday. I’d never heard of Costa Vida. We were visiting in the area & went here with my sister & bil. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the food was. Sweet pork, on my!!!! The staff was extremely pleasant & helpful. Very clean. We will be back when in the area.“

“Place is amazing every time!“

“Excellent tacos“

“Went to Barbacoa, 5500 Troost, for brunch Sunday morning, what a delightful experience. I ordered Monie’s plate. It was mouthwatering. The serving was so generous, that I took half of it home. The corn tortillas were soft and warm enough to make a taco, the beans were flavorful and not spicy, the carnitas were fall apart tender and very tasty, perfectly fried potatoes, and fluffy scrambled eggs. The salsa was very tasty and not overly spicy. The coffee was even tasty (Costco Kirkland medium roast). Unlike some breakfast restaurants, the background music was so low and mellow (helps with digestion), I could hear my friends talk. We have to go back during the week for dinner. UPDATE - I forgot one very important thing, the service was excellent. Our group was one of two in the restaurant, but shortly afterwards other start to arrive. There was only one friendly waitress, who, despite the growing crowd, was able to get back to us about more coffee and to check on us“

“Our #1 Mexican restaurant pick! The food is authentic and is just as I ate when I was younger living in Southern California.“

“Place is amazing every time!“

“........Good Menudo........“

“Los Alamos Cocina is easily the best authentic Mexican food in KC. The menudo and pozole is best ive ever had and the chili rolo and verde are both outstanding, tastes exactly like homemade because they are. Wonderful family owned stop in a historic area of KC. oh and dont forget to treat yourself to the best chillaquiles and eggs you'll ever have. Delicious! The catering we got for our New Years feast was a huge hit as well: tamales, pork verde and menudo. EXCELLENTE!“

“I visited Don Chuy's in Lee's Summit last week for the first time, I had combination fajitas that were well seasoned and generous portion of everything. Zion served me at the bar. Very quick friendly service. I went back today for taco Tuesday, served by Luis, who did a great job. I was greeted both times by the owner who was welcoming. I recommend this restaurant and will return soon.“

“excellent food, service, atmosphere. best Mexican restaurant in downtown.“

“🚨GUACAMOLE CHANGE! We’ve been coming to Ponaks for 30 years. The guacamole has aways been one of our favorites. Today we ordered it and immediately noticed something was different. We asked the server and he confirmed that they have changed their recipe, and it’s for the worst. They’ve added “filler” by putting pico and other ingredients into it. It’s not even close to what it was. I hope they don’t start changing their food and Margaritas!!! There is a reason people keep coming back year after year! Please dont mess with perfection Ponaks!“

“I love this place for food and of course are favorite waitress Nancy is always welcoming and friendly and makes the best margaritas in town 🤩🤩🤩“

“Red Bridge is my favorite Barrio but Brookside is close second mainly because of limited space. Service and food has always been spot on which keeps me coming back! I've brought friends and they agree.“

“everything was SO good! Get the fajitas and queso plus the tres leches! new favorite place!“

“I love getting tongue tacos here. Best in town.“

“We've been eating there since they were on Main Street Grandview and still loving it. We've had many parties there over the years. They have plenty of room and more than enough food.“

“Food is delicious. Really enjoy the restaurant/market combination.“

“Senorita Margarita is a hidden gem that brings together fantastic Mexican small bites, amazing cocktails, and exceptional service, all in a cool tiki-themed setting. The cocktails are top-notch, offering a delightful twist on classics and new creations that are perfectly balanced. The ambiance is vibrant and fun, making you feel like you're on a tropical getaway. Our server, Cheyenne, made the experience even better with her warm and attentive service. She was knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were spot-on. The small bites are fresh and flavorful, from the tasty tacos to the delicious guacamole. Senorita Margarita is a must-visit for anyone looking for great drinks, bites, and a unique vibe. Don't miss it!“

“Super Ricos gracias Lonches laguneros por traer para Kansas City delicias de la Comarca lagunera.100%recomendados“

“The atmosphere, service and food was outstanding! I had the lunch special of one pork tamale, one ground beef burrito and rice and I was full. Definitely will be back“

“Delicious and large portions! staff is friendly and efficient.“

“Stopped into this gem for lunch and grabbed a carryout order. I ordered inside at the counter and the woman behind the counter was helpful and kind, answered any question I had. I waited about 7 minutes for my carryout order, 3 asada tacos, add onion, with a habanero salsa. This place is fantastic. The tacos were 12/10, delicious. From staff, to seating, all the way to the food, everything was great. I will be coming back!“

“food is amazing, prices are reasonable. service is fast and friendly. I work in the area and always stopping by and grabbing dinner. the Carne asada burrito will fill me up every time. street tacos are filling“

“Very cool atmosphere. Have one person during lunch taking orders and serving food. Wait time is long during lunch. Food is a 8. Would be a 10 if there wasn’t a puddle of oil at the bottom of my Togo container that made my taco shells fall apart. And the cactus on the mushroom taco were woody.“

“Always a great experience! Margaritas are 🔥🔥🔥“

“food is delicious and the staff is super friendly!!!“

“My husband and I dined here on Jan 17, 2026. Exceptional Tacos! We both got the fish and cheeseburger tacos. Both were yummy and fresh. Our favorite was the cheeseburger.
Our waiter went above and beyond! I wish I could remember his name to shout out some major kudos! 👏 👏 👏
Very clean dining room and restrooms.
Great atmosphere.
We plan to go back the next time we are in Kansaa City.“
