In my 33 years of life these were by far the worst tacos I have ever eaten... 5 very small tacos for 20$ asada tacos that were nothing but fat. In my 33 years of life these were the worst tacos I have ever eaten... I ordered asada tacos and they came out with pure bait tacos...

Great food and all salsa were on point. Little restaurant inside small grocery store. Was delicious. Wish it was closer to our home as it would be a regular stop. Minimal seating. Just go on in.

If you are within 20 miles of here stop and eat. It is in a small store with minimal seating but best Mexican food I have eaten in Kansas City metro area period. Don’t be put off by the inside just go enjoy.

1st visit. Weird vibe, not what I expected. I stepped into a different environment. Service was polite. Got the beef burrito to go and when I got home I was disappointed that my beef burrito was 90% rice, 1% cheese and 9% tough beef steak with no veggies. Ground beef would have changed the dish. The burrito was poor. Darnit.With the price paid, lack of input to the ingredients, this meal and experience was a fail.Go to Chipotle. Far better, less expenses and way more comfortable.

I ordered three beef tacos to go. They were very small. I could not chew the beef up because it had so much gristle in it. I had to spit it out. I threw most of it in the trash. I will never go back to this restaurant!

Wow...first time i've ever had street tacos wrapped in tinfoil in my life. Guess that's a Lees Summit way. Definitely not how we do it south. Turned into mush n greasy by the time i got home...wrapped in tinfoil like an enchilada. Was tasty but not worth it. Too many better tacos out there.

The food was amazing and authentic. The service and ambiance was impressive given it was peak lunch rush. 10/10 will visit again.

It’s a very, very, very small place. Looks like it’s family owned, even the teens help out-that’s great! A lot of stuff you could get at Walmart, and nothing had prices. We regrettably spent $75 for a family of 5. The aguas frescas were good - we got horchata, and agua de sandía. Pork, chicken tamales were dry. Tamales de elote were nothing to shout about.3 carne asada tacos - meat was very fatty, I got sick. 3 al Pastor - hubby said it tasted like seasoned ground pork, and very fatty also.I wouldn’t go back. They really need more help!

Born and raised in Mexico, this food hurt my heart! 3 carne asada tacos - meat was very fatty, I got sick. 3 al Pastor - hubby said it tasted like seasoned ground pork, and very fatty also. I wouldn't go back. They really need more help. I'm actually unsure of some of these pictures people have posted. The food my family and I were served did not look anywhere close to what these people have posted.

Their accents was heavy , so you already the food was gonna be Bomb ? ?. Ordered the carna asada and costillas de res en salsa, and they were super good home-made dishes. Tortillas were freshly cooked, and the sauces on the side were not too spicy, so I could actually enjoy them flavors. Over all a 9 out of 10 for an authentic Guerrero Mexican foreign very criollo high-end restaurant.Their coffee was excelente, and the owner introduced it as Coffe made in Guerrero, Mexico.La comida espectacular y bien criolla.Muy buen café.
