“Great service and delicious food! It was a quieter day to visit for a late lunch, probably due to the heat wave. I'm also on day 3 after having my wisdom teeth pulled... Which makes eating out challenging. The waitress was very helpful in selecting foods that worked for my teeth. On the enchiladas: flavor absolutely incredible! Simpler looking in my pictures because I asked to hold the garnishes for my teeth. The sauce had a little kick, which was perfect. My wife got tacos al pastor, and they were very good! Tried a house marg as well and loved it. Good prices, great food, and incredible service. 10/10 will return”

“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”

“Perfect experience. I ordered a box combo and a cheesy gordita crunch. Not only did I do customization but made a special request and they fully delivered. I appreciate the kind customer service, something a lot of places here lack. Thank you! I get taco bell more than anyone but this time stood out”

“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!”

“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”

“🚨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!”

“Tatema is a little hole in the wall restaurant, but let me tell you, their food is incredible! I am generally a person who doesn't like mexican food (at least the american version of it), however when I got tacos here for the first time, they were truly life changing. I have yet to branch out to any other food item, but their tacos alone are absolutely delicious! I would highly highly recommend you go there! I have introduced a handful of my family members to Tatema and they instantly loved it! The staff is also very friendly and it's a great place!”

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in KC! We get takeout for family events frequently, and the food is consistently delicious. 👌 Our family likes the steak chimichangas, chicken fajitas, tacos, and any of their nachos. The rice and beans are fantastic, as well! The building and interior could use an update, but the service is decently fast and respectful. The manager at this location is great and cares about his guests. We love El Maguey!”
