Where to Go for the Best Mexican Food in Kansas City, MO
1. Dos de Oros
Here you’ll find traditional dishes, such as fajitas, burritos, tacos, tamales, and quesadillas. We recommend the chicken fajitas, which offer tender meat and perfectly cooked onions and peppers, or one of the veggie combos. Enjoy the homemade chips and salsa while you browse the menu. They have lunch specials from Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., so be sure to check out these great deals. Be prepared to have leftovers for the next day as well!
2. Tacos El Gallo
This establishment may be small, but it provides huge taste! Enjoy the friendly and fast service for either dine-in or takeout. Try the beef burrito, the homemade tamales, the birria tacos, or the chicken quesadilla, all of which come with rice and beans. The servings are decent and the prices are affordable. Order a frozen or on-the-rocks margarita while you enjoy your meal. Remember to drink responsibly and in moderation. Do not drink and drive. Alcohol is for adults of legal drinking age only.
3. Str-Eatz
You’ll find something for everyone here at this fine restaurant. From traditional dishes to seafood, wings, vegan, and vegetarian options, they have it all. We suggest the jerk cod or al pastor tacos, the chili Relleno burrito, or the steak asada bowl. They also make a variety of salsas, from mild to spicy. We love the pineapple salsa, which makes a great addition to any entree. Visit on Tuesdays and for their taco specials as well. Dine-in, take out, or conveniently order online for delivery.
4. Ricos Tacos Lupe
This restaurant uses only the freshest ingredients for great quality and delicious flavors. Try the carne asada taco, the tamales, the tostada de shrimp ceviche, or the street tacos. Enjoy a glass of homemade horchata or an imported Mexican Coca-Cola served in a 1-liter glass bottle. We love their variety of salsas, which you can order to go in 8-ounce containers. Hint—ask the creamy queso. The servers are friendly as well.
5. Miranda’s Food Truck
For a quick bite, you can’t go wrong with a local taco truck. They make their tacos and tortillas from scratch. The tacos are crunchy and fresh and the owners are super friendly. Vegetarians will love the veggie tacos! They also have good specials during both lunch and dinner. Ask for their hot salsa if you’re a spice lover!
