Taqueria Mexico

This place has so much potential, but the food is medicore at best. There is so many other options on the same street that have way better food and service. Which is extremely unfortunate for them.
The service is always slow, even when it’s nearly dead. I pretty much choose to sit at the bar to ensure service.
Given the lack of yummy food and crappy service.
I find myself here almost every Wedsenday for their 1.99 magaritas. On the same day they also have 99 cent fried grounded beef and potato tacos, which like the rest of their food; is mediocre at best.
Honestly, the only reason they are getting 3 stars is due to their margarita Wedsenday prices and all the great Wedsendays my friends and I have had here.
I’ve been here other days and had other dishes like their; bean dip, cheese dip, and various quesdillas/​burritos and nachos. They were all medicore. I think the problem lies in their meat and inconsistency. The meat isn’t flavorful/​sometimes dry and everytime you order something or recieve salsa it taste different than the last time you ate it, ranging from worse to slightly better.
All this being said, at least the margaritas are wonderful especially at that price.

If you know your Chimichangas, then you must try this place. Fish tacos are good and their al pastor tacos are killer. Well priced, big portions.
Service is not best but but who gives a shit when you get to eat very delicious, well priced Mexican.

The waitress: nice and efficient, (even though she picked at my food and tasted it with her bare hands, I’ll explain later) for that they get the star.
The place: cold, dark, bathrooms dirty.
The food: I got the molcajete and my friend got the quesadilla with shredded chicken.
El molcajete was a combination of shrimp, beef, chicken on a chorizo sauce with quest fresco, avocado, and a cactus. The beef and chicken were 2 thin slices with no flavor, dry and hard, it was hard to cut with the knife and even harder to chew. The shrimp literally tasted like sand, I had a bite of one and left the rest because it just didn’t taste good. The cheese was expired, plain and simple I took a bite of it and my mouth filled with the sour taste of old cheese, horrible, disappointment after disappointment. I tried the cactus just because and it was just dry, without flavor, almost burned. Just horrible. I am sorry but it was. The corn tortillas broke when I folded them to try to make a taco, and that’s all you need to know about that… My friend liked her quesadilla, she liked the combination of dark and white meat on her shredded chicken but her beans were cold, like, out from the fridge cold.
The sauces they offer were 2 red ones and 1 green. None of them were spicy, sometimes they have different levels of spicyness but these didn’t. They were very watery and needed salt.
I did complain to the waitress about my dish, specially the expired cheese. She didn’t believe me so that’s when she took a piece of the cheese on my plate and tasted it. She didn’t say any words but her face expressions agreed with me. She immediately apologized and said she would talk to the manager
The manager: hid in the kitchen and never came out to talk to us. No she/​he wasn’t busy because there were only 2 tables occupied at the moment. We paid full price for the meal that wasn’t good and I didn’t even eat .
I will never go back to that place, it needs taste, and flavor and better management.

We tried this last night to try a new Mexican restaurant and were persuaded further by the excellent reviews. The environment was perfect, the delicious smells as we opened the door and the mood setting music actually made us fee like we were going to enjoy our experience.
Our waitress was very prompt, polite and friendly. Servers were constantly refilling bowls of chips and two types of salsa. I appreciate the chips were clearly made fresh, but a bit on the greasy side. Both salsas had excellent flavor; far beyond the hot sauce/​ketchup flavor that most Tex mex places pass out.
Our dinner itself was delicious– my husband and I both had one of the combination platters with a burrito, enchilada and a hard taco. I opted for the pork burrito and my husband had the chicken; enchiladas and tacos were both beef. Both had excellent flavor but the pork was definitely the win!
Prices were also very reasonable considering the amount of food we ate and took home. We are so happy to have a new Mexican restaurant to add to our repertoire!

I haven’t been back to this location for over 10 years. Fond memories of having lunch with my father here, so decided to try it again. I came in around 1:45, there were maybe 3 other tables. For the service I would give my waitress 5 stars today she did a wonderful job of keeping my soda filled, bringing napkins before I could ask for them, etc. I ordered off the lunch menu, only because they don’t list any of their food A-​la-​carte. (But I didn’t ask if that could have been done.) I was really wanting a flauta, & tostada… Oh well, so I ordered the Asada taco, with a cheese and onion enchilada, with rice & beans. Everything was meh, except the street taco that was 5 stars! Juicy tender little bits of steak, with onions, cilantro, and fresh lime juice on top. Heaven on a tortilla, until we meet again!

Best fajitas I have had in along time. Staff is very nice and quick on everything! Will defiantly be coming back to this place!

If I could give this visit a
ZERO I would! We’ve eaten here over 50 times and never had the kind of horrible service we had tonight! The young man who brought is chips was very pleasant and attentive (but all he’s allowed to do is bring chips)! There was ONE server in the entire place so we opted for the bar – BIG MISTAKE. It’s Tuesday Jan 5^th and the woman bartending is not the girl we usually have. This woman never once asked if we wanted another drink – after the first one – nor did she even acknowledge us honestly. There was no one else sitting at the bar however a gentleman did come in and buy a lot of gift certificates so she had him to help. We waited 20 MINS… until my fiancée decided to go warm up the car. I then waiting ANOTHER 15mins… at which time she got on the phone and went into the bathroom. I was seconds away from leaving when she came out and I said I need to leave. She didn’t stop talking on the phone to give me my bill… I signed it and left. We will never go to this particular Taqueria Mexico again. Unless this woman is the owner she shouldn’t be at the restaurant AT ALL but especially not bartending!

The food was Parr the first time so we came to El pueblito. The food was out of this world. Gi here before you go anywhere else.

Lunch Menu is fantastic I usually get the Chori Pollo. Grilled chicken smothered in chorizo and cheese with a side of rice, beans and lettuce/​avocado. The Beans are amazing just like everything else. I think you can gauge the quality of a restaurant by their beans, if they make good beans everything else will be amazing and flavorful. If they are «meh» most of the rest of the menu will be too. I have never been disappointed here.

Ceviche, Chile Torreados, guacamole, queso flameado add shrimps, frijoles charros, tecate and Gran Duque d’ Alba. Nuff said.

Quaint little place at the end of a row of Mexican restaurants. Very clean and nice. The menu is exactly like other places we’ve visited. It’s pretty extensive, so there is a lot to choose from.
Our visit here was alright, but not spectacular.
It wasn’t ultra busy when we visited, so we got right in. We ordered our usual cheese dip but changed it up on our usual entrees. I got a cheese enchilada and a bean burrito and my wife got a shredded beef quesadilla and a couple of cheese enchiladas on the side. Cheese dip was good. My meal was just fine, however, my wife couldn’t eat the quesadilla. The seasoning they used on the meat was terrible! She gave me a little to taste. I couldn’t place it. It was bad. She was happy she got the enchiladas.
An okay place. Avoid the shredded beef.

This was the third stop on the Taco Crawl and the most disappointing experience of the day. The staff were irritated by our large group and made us wait exceptionally long times for our taco orders which were average when compared to many other taquerias around KCK. Skip this one… we wont go back.

Excellent environment — try sitting on the deck with a view of beautiful downtown KC in the distance. This is NOT Tex-​Mex, it’s authentic and loved by the locals. The guacamole and chips are very good. However, the salsa/​sauce is a bit thin and bland (Dos Reales has the best sauce, hands down!). I am vegan, and this is not the place for vegans. (Again, Dos Reales has some vegan staples.) All-​in-​all, Taqueria Mexico has great service and is great for a Sunday afternoon.

If I were to rate this place on food, and food alone, it would be 5 stars. I wanted to try something I had never had before, so I got the nopales (cactus) taco. I was amazed on how good it was and actually a little sweet. I tried the lengua (tongue) taco as well and it was pretty good too. It reminded me of roast. The service however, was pretty bad. We waited about an hour to receive our food. Yes, we had a larger group of about 13 people, but we only ordered drinks and a taco or two per person. I’d go back if I have a lot of time to wait and want something different… but the amount of options in the city, this wouldn’t be a recommendation for me.

Quaint décor in the Mexican restaurant. Service was attentive and pleasant. I ordered the chicken enchilada and pork tamale. The rice and beans were lacking taste and very plain… not a good sign. The chicken enchilada was average while the masa in the pork tamale was rather dense as opposed to light and fluffy as I’m accustomed to.
I was hoping for more based on the reviews on Unilocal

There has got to be close to 15 Mexican/​Spanish/​Latin inspired restaurants on southwest blvd. This one i think had the best mole enchiladas. Nice big open dining room with typical décor, lots of color. Some of the places on southwest aren’t very clean also something that sets them apart. They have some American fare options but don’t get them get what you went their for, the tasty Mexican food, and pace yourself on the chips and salsa they are quickly replenished if emptied.

Not much by way of décor but they have horchata and that always makes for a nice first impression. The spinach enchiladas with cheese sauce were very good. Lots of spinach stuffed inside. I tried the butter shrimp with green peppers and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Kids bean and cheese burrito is a mess that my daughter had a blast eating through the gooey cheese. Salsas are nice, one I’d quite spicy.
Clean restrooms. Very friendly and patient service.

I don’t like using reviews to be a soundboard for complaints, so it takes multiple trips and reasons for me to come to the conclusion of a single star review. In this restaurants case, sadly it falls into that rare category.
In the past I have gone to this location (as well as other Taqueria Mexico locations) and been unimpressed with the quality of the food. The price is quite high for Mexican food in general and doesn’t support the taste or quality to back it up. There are many better Mexican food locations within walking distance that you can find the similar food of greater quality and fresher ingredients for a couple bucks cheaper. The one thing that they have going for them that many others do not is a their menu items with Mole sauce, which is pretty decent. The average price for an entrée is about $ 9.50 and up. Rice and beans are very bland and less appealing than average. The chips and salsa are complimentary and also pretty average, so no complaints there. The «steak» fajitas are noodle-​like shreds of beef and are disappointing in flavor and texture for the price, not steak-​like at all.
On this most recent trip, we ordered queso and it had a very Velveeta taste and texture to it and was not very warm. I ordered the beef fajitas. When the food arrived, there was no silverware on the table. I patiently waited for everyone to get served and for our waitress to have a chance to get plates and silverware on her own without jumping the gun and when she came back again, I intended to mention that the person across from me and myself had not received our tortillas but as I began to speak, she cut me off in a sharp and insistent way. We were a table of 8, to be fair — although we had no special/​annoying requests, so I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She came back with the silverware and again did not give me the chance to speak. She didn’t come back, not even to check on drinks. Most of the people at the table had already finished their entire meal before we were able to someone completely different to help us, they got me the tortillas and a to go box since I had no plate and people were finishing up. At this point the waitress came back and very forcibly asked if I wanted my ticket. I didn’t even realize she was speaking to me since I hadn’t even gotten to take a single bite of food yet. I was confused why I was singled out at first (I realized it was the to go box) and by the time she came back it was time to leave and I had tried to explain the situation but she just seemed very irritated. I had only gotten about four bites in by this point, the food was cold, I had no plate and was eating off the top of the to go box, and I was pretty bummed out by our waitress’s rudeness that I just stopped. I don’t believe in wasting food but I had lost my appetite and wanted to distance myself from the situation as much as possible. We paid for our food (yes, we tipped like normal) and I just left the food there.
I honestly have never had such an experience before, I don’t expect to be waited on hand and foot but I definitely didn’t want to be cut off when speaking, get what I need to enjoy my meal after everyone is done eating, and get my ticket before I even take a bite. I have been here before and would have rated it about 3 stars (okay) before this experience but with the high prices, sub-​par food, and now poor service, I don’t think I’ll be back again. It’s not worth going to a place to eat if you lose your appetite while there.

Perfect crossbreed of Mexican food between «boulevard Mex» and «KCK Mex»! It is the best of both food types. Each and every time I have been here the food has been excellent and the service is so great! They do not have «huge» menues like the «Mexican» restaurants on the boulevard; but what they do have is «quality»; and in my humility, I think I can safely state that there is a food law that can be put in mathematical form. «Quality of food» (we call this Qf) plus friendly service (Sf) equals a excellent meal (Fe) and return visits (Vr). The law: Qf + Sf = Fe+Vr^x. Plus you can eat pretty healthy here too! The horchata is so so good that I think I am going to go eat there tonight! Prices are low, food is actually very fresh & tasty, what more could one ask for? a 5^th star, well, you see those are hard to come by.

Everything I’ve had there is good. The cheese dip is amazing, the Melcajete a la Mexico was outstanding. Great service and margaritas.

I get all tingly when I find a good place for beef tongue. I mean, who doesn’t like some tongue? Anybody?
So yeah, they have my beloved beef tongue on the menu. In verde sauce, no less. Sign me up for some of that! Oh wait… word on the street is their pintos (ranchera style) beans are the
compared to refried and black beans here. So I made the proper substitution.
Boom!
Tender tongue. Just melts as you eat it. A lot of you have never had tongue. Try it! Some of you have only had deli meat tongue. This is totally different. Try it! And the beans did not disappoint. I would come back for a bowl of those with some corn tortillas and call it a day. They are that good.
I had some bites of Chile Relleno and a shrimp dish of unknown (i.e. unremembered) name. Both were delicious.
So count me in for coming back here. Who can resist tongue and beans? Not I!
