“Been here few times it’s fire 🔥“

“if you haven't tried Taco Rico, you are missing out‼️ good food, friendly staff, very clean.“

“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“

“The food was excellent, service outstanding and the restroom immaculate!! (dirty restrooms, huge pet peeve!) It's now our go-to place!!!“

“Went tonight for the first time. Food was amazing but we didn’t get everything we ordered. Unfortunately didn’t find out until we got home. Will definitely be back but will make sure we check our order before leaving.“

“Run, don’t walk. This place is so damn good. I have had many of tacos in my life….these are truly at the top of my list. The KC taco….chefs kiss. The suadero….dont even get me started. Texture, juiciness, tenderness, crunch, zest, love. All things you want in a taco and they have it all plus some. We tried 6 tacos and all were incredible. Just….trust me. Go.“

“We skipped the food as we stopped in during the taco festival, but holy awesome service Batman! Victoria (maybe Veronica?) and Brie were awesome bartenders. Very fun and personable. Kept us in margaritas 🍹 and were an absolute joy! Looking forward to going back.

What food we did see looked amazing. Everything was beautiful and really made us want to try it.

Go say hi to the ladies at the bar and have a jello shot!“

“This is my second visit. The first time the food was great and this time it was even better. Service was great too. Love this place!

Edit: I can’t believe I placed this review 6 years ago! This is still my favorite mexican restaurant in KC, and the only bad experience I had was for the one and only cary out order I placed.“

“I stopped here on a whim after picking up some altered clothes for my wife. The people were super friendly and the food was amazing. I will definitely be back.“

“Great food with large portions! Excellent service too!“

“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!“

“Food is so good fast service and friendly staff“

“Great food BUT more times than not when I get to go orders, the orders are wrong! They need to pay closer attention to detail. The last two to go orders were wrong when I got home. Not good!“

“service was 1000 percent food was 10 stars out of 5 if you want authentic Mexican food and trust me it's like home made can't find any better yes I'm American so do your self a favor and check them out?!!!! happy tummy“

“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!“

“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 🤩🤩🤩“

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

“Started with Espinaca Queso and Jalapeño margarita. Queso is really good with onion, Jalapeño and spinach, chips are light n crispy and staff always asking if want refills. Salsa is really good if you like a chunky salsa!
Then had steak enchiladas and the steak was very good for the price. Will definitely be back again.“

“Always friendly always good food!“

“I picked up a pork burrito for my brother and I couldn't resist the street tacos! It was absolutely delicious!“

“Had it for the first time... service was great, food was great... can't wait to come back!“

“Wonderful quick stop for food. Good quality and fresh“

“Been coming here for the past 40 years. My Mom celebrated her birthday this evening and it was the just the BEST. We had enchiladas (the sauce is so unique and dark - just wonderful), tacos, flautas, rice, the trio of dips. If you are in KC, give it a try!!!“

“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 good food and margaritas, nice and friendly staff. We enjoyed our dinner tonight. It has been awhile since have been in and it was awesome. Thank you so much.“

“This place is amazing. The birria burrito is delicious. There is something for everyone, including my extremely picky eater (chicken nuggets and fries). The music had us dancing in our seats, well it was partly the music and partly good food happy wiggles. My family of 5 ate for under $100 and we all took leftovers home. Totally worth it. Support this local restaurant because you'll be adding it to your favorites after the first stop in. Also, there's a drive thru for convenience if you're eating on the go.“

“My husband and I had lunch there and the food was very good. He had tacos and I had a burrito. We both had refried beans and rice. The waiter was prompt in our service and the food didn’t take long to prepare.“

“The food is always fresh and so good! We have had the crunchy tacos, quesadillas,quesabirroas,  nachos, flautas, ice scream and fruit smoothies! There is nothing that we did not like.“

“I absolutely love this place! The food, drinks, and service are top notch ALWAYS. My only complaint is that the place is so small that I've had to go to another restaurant just because of the place being packed. Also, it sometimes is really loud with conversation in the restaurant because it's so small and jam packed. Taco Tuesdays are my favorite, if I can find a table.“

“the best of the best excellent food  “

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

“Muy buenas gorditas. Más las fritas en aceite“

“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“

“service is terrible, cheese dip is just white cheese, quacamole is frozen. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all“

“I am sure everything is amazing, but we can't get enough of the street tacos to try anything else. My husband loves the chorizo, my son the steak, and I adore the chicken. They are packed to fullness and absolutely delicious. The couple that runs it are so sweet.“

“Went here on a Friday night after hitting a burger place nearby. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was and the service was fantastic. We had a couple apps and some drinks. Reasonable prices and solid customer service. Recommend making it a stop if you’re bar hopping and want so good eats.“

“I love to eat here. The cheese dip is quite litterally the best I have ever had. I always get the quesadilla sampler as my meal. Those taquitos and all three quesadillas (beef, chicken and cheese.) You can't go wrong with anything on this menu!“

“Great food. I had the Pollo Poblano and it was very good. I will be back the next time I’m in KC. I did tell all my friends on FB about the great food.“

“Ate at the Shawnee location and it was awesome! Fast service AND delicious food. The owners are so friendly. My husband tried the smothered burrito bowl and I had the No tortilla burrito bowl. They were good size portions and a fair price. I'll be a regular!“

“I thought the tacos were great. But then I tried the burritos. Great food at great price.“

“My daughter's favorite spot to go. 🤤🌮 thanks Tio 🔥“

“I love their menudo!!! If you want a delicious and flavorful menudo buy them from this place. It doesn't have that stinky smell when you eat it. Some places don't know how to clean and cook it well. I also got lime ice cream and it's so flavorful!!! The only thing that a lot of people didn't like is that there are big flies all over. I know it's everywhere but maybe they can do something about it. But other than that everything is awesome. I'm going back to this place again“
