Best street tacos in KC, hands down. The al pastor and lengua are unreal and the cucumber plate on the side is perfect.

Marisol R.

Feels like eating at a Latin family home. Fast service, huge portions and the salsa roja has real heat.

Danny T.

Great carne asada quesadilla for the price. Gets busy at night but the food comes out quick.
