Mexican Restaurants near Smithville

“I read the reviews before my husband went to go get food, and to tell the truth, I was a little worried about getting food from here because of how bad the reviews have been. My husband and son n law were getting pizza and I am not a fan of pizza, and we have had a lot of Cheeseburgs and hotdogs since 4th of July so I wanted something different. So I took the chance with Taco Bell and was really surprised and grateful because my husband said that It was quick, and they were polite. I had warned him before he left to check the food when he got it. Got everything i ordered correctly, it all looked good and he said it was hot. We don't live in Smithville, We live in Plattsburg. By the time he got home with it , it was still lukewarm and everything tasted great. Out of the last 5 or 6 times we have gotten Taco Bell from various areas this has been the best one. I don't know if management has changed or if they have different employees but all I can say is everything was great for us . Now he just went through drive- threw and not inside but I was pleasantly surprised by this experience. Thank you to all who made it a great experience. Today was Friday @ about 7pm on 07/11/2025 Hope this review helps. I do not know anyone who works here nor do I normally do reviews on restaurants u less its extremely goodnight is seldom that I do that even then.“

“I have nothing but positive things to say about Taco Rico. Food is fresh and oh so good. Reminds me of being in my grandmas' kitchen. When I say everything is good, I mean EVERYTHING is good. Don't even get me started on the staff!!! They will always have my vote. Yes, sometimes they are closed during their normal business hours, they (family & staff) run business and life happens. Always 5 stars in my book.“

“The very best, worth the drive every time!!!“

“Best tacos, they never miss“

“My wife and I had our first visit to La Fuente on New Years Eve. I am a hard person to make happy when it come to food. I must say it was the best. The restaurant was very clean, employees great and professional. Help my wife the menu and provide the very best service. We have found a new place for great times. Thankyou“

“There are places you go to eat—and then there are places that feel like an experience the moment you walk in. Añejo is the latter.

From the start, there’s a kind of energy that’s hard to fake—warm, a little electric, like everyone there actually wants to be there. The space feels intentional without trying too hard, and the food lands exactly where you hope it will: bold, clean, and memorable without being overworked. Every plate felt like it knew what it was doing.

But what made the night stay with me was the people.

Alex has that rare ability to read a table without making a show of it. Attentive, sharp, and genuinely present—everything arrived before we had to ask, and every recommendation hit. It never felt transactional. It felt taken care of.

And Becky—there’s a warmth there that changes the entire tone of the experience. The kind of hospitality you can’t train. She made the whole night feel easy, like we were regulars even if it was our first time in.

You can find good food in a lot of places. What’s harder to find is that combination of atmosphere, attention, and people who actually care about how your night unfolds.

Añejo gets that right. And because of Alex and Becky, it doesn’t just feel like a place you visited—it feels like somewhere you’ll come back to. Alexis was also amazing.“

“Caleb did a fantastic job. He worked his tail off and made sure we had full drinks and chip refills the entire night. It was refreshing to see someone that cares! He is a keeper so make sure he gets special attention from his managers. KC servers need to learn from that guy.“

“Enjoyed the food and drinks with the family definitely one of the best places to eat right Mexican food. Birria tacos and El Burrito Mexico with melted white cheese and carnita meat. Give them a try you won’t regret it. Please understand that some foods take longer then other to make so done except you dinner to be served as fast as the McDonald’s Drive thru“

“Best tacos ever! Burgers are amazing!“

“Still the best Taco Bell anywhere north of the river, right next to at home and price chopper. Must be owned by a different group than the other ones close by because this one represents the brand very well. Always good food, always nice and respectful staff. 😎“

“The food was as great as it should be but the staffing the night I went all must have been mentally checked out. They couldn't figure out who did or didn't receive their drinks/food with barely any other customers inside the store“
