The best Mexican food in Kansas City, hands down!! This is a little south of the Plaza in a neighborhood called Brookside! The best margaritas and the best guacamole will get you started! They have amazing tacos and burritos.... and fajitas! (it's all good). The ambiance is awesome here. You are likely to run across many locals and we recommend calling ahead pretty far in advance to make a reservation.
