    Ariadna M. Excellent food and service ,felt like family. Being able to visit many restaurants, this is by far my favorite place to eat. Gmail mail me at cheifs58lb if you agree with me. This reminded me of when I traveled to Madrid Spain.

    Food, authentic and delicious! Ambiance, brought me back to my childhood! Service, felt like family! This place is great! I usually judge Hispanic restaurants by the quality and taste of their tortas. I'm not sure who voted Taco Naco so highly with their weird tamale torta, but they obviously missed this restaurant. The torta was great, perfectly toasted bread, great amount of avocado, carne safe is actual carne asada (which is rare for the Midwest), all the right condiments, perfectly salted! I also had a carne asada taco which was only bested by their chicken tacos. I paired it with their spicy green salsa, instant and new favorite! I really liked their corn tortillas as well, it reminded me of how they make the tortillas in Central America. It was a nice treat to walk through the shop it's tied to next door, I saw all kinds of foods I hadn't seen since I was last in Honduras. I love seeing a bigger variety of hot sauces too! I am definitely bringing people here to experience what good Hispanic food truly tastes like!!

    This place is the real deal. I was looking for something simple and quick within walking distance of the hotel, and I chose well. Had three tacos. Carne asada, chorizo, and Al Pastor. All were excellent, but the Al Pastor was my favorite. Great authentic spicy salsas too. The owner was friendly too. I will make it back again this trip.

    Al pastor tacos were great and salsa options were plentiful. Battery died on my car and the man working there was more than helpful trying to get me back on the road. Big thanks to them. Support good people and good places.

    Such a gem in OP. Great prices, prompt service, delicious food. Tacos and burritos are always solid. Great lunch spot with plenty of tables.

    Our first time here (visiting from Texas)... we got an assortment of delicious tacos to go - everything packed up well including several types of salsa. I especially loved the very fresh guacamole!

    Pitch Sandwich Week 2024 What a surprise sensational sandwich with the right amount of southwestern flair, okay, so technically, it's probably considered tex-mex, but, regardless, this torta was top tier. I don't have too much experience in eating tortas, but from what I can tell, it's specifically a Mexican origin sandwich that's served on a crust white bread roll and stuffed with meat and fillings. Since it was Pitch Sandwich Week, this bad boy was on discount and definitely was worth the $6 price tag. My mom and I ended up splitting it, and we left full (we did order a side of guacamole and chips as well). It was limited to the chicken version for the special price, but we didn't mind at all! The chicken was tender, moist, and seasoned to perfection - no traditional taco seasoning in sight! The insides included premium helpings of fresh vibrant avocados, shredded lettuce, ripe supple tomatoes, and some salty white cheese. The addition of the many tangy and spicy salsas, from the salsa bar, to choose from made this sandwich super flavorful. I would sing the praise for the medium salsa that's a little bit chunky; I enjoy that because I can see all the fresh vegetables and automatics that make up the signature blend. The hot salsa is no joke! However, if you want a little kick, do what I do and mix the mild and the hot together, and it's a great combo. Also, the salsa verde is acidic and provides a good cut to all the heavy ingredients presented on the torta, so don't skip on that!

    Delicious tacos in Overland Park with quick service. The salsas here are awesome, my fav is the light green one!

    Being in the middle of a low trafficked strip mall makes us forget about this gem. Yet, every time we eat here we have a 5-star meal! Taco Tuesday is a great deal with the four most common meats $2 per taco. Heck of a deal if you like chicken or pork! Personally, I think they have the best Chorizo in the entire city! Try it, you will not regret it I promise! The place is usually packed, but they always churn out the food at a very fast pace. The cashier and cooks are always very friendly too! The salsa bar still exists, but if you are getting your food To-Go, they have premade containers of all the salsas and pico now. The very hot Green Salsa is so good, but buyer beware, it is HOT!! The light Red Hot Salsa is great too. They have added a walk through market next store that opens the whole place up with a half wall in between locations. Don't forget to pick up some tortillas or chips on your way out. Thanks El Fogon!!
