You can't find authentic street tacos like this at very many places in KC…read more The order process was simple. You order at a window and can either take it to go or stay and eat at the outdoor picnic tables. I ordered a pork al pastor and pork red cochinita. The pork red was my favorite of the two. And the sauces they have there are also really good. I also ordered a side of rice with my tacos. Between the rice and two tacos, it was a satisfying meal. I'd like to come back for tamales sometime.

Oh my goodness. I was at the garment district today. Sugar Skull Street Tacos was there. First time…read moreI had his tacos. Not only were they good. The guy was very, very nice and he was very in tune with his customers . He did not get offended if you did not know what something was. He defined the type of food in which I could not pronounce. I knew what it was when he explained. I'm definitely going to call you when my business launch . I'd love to have you at my launch party. I'll use Sugar Skull for other ventures and definitely spread the word . Good food after apartment hunting is always on point. Thank you ! Tess !

The tacos are sooo good. Definitely would go to get more. They're not only aesthetically pleasing…read morebut they're also delicious which is a plus in my book!

We saw the truck was coming to our neighborhood ACE Hardware, so we decided to give them a try…read more There wasn't really anywhere in the parking lot for us to sit and eat so we decided to take it to go. I ordered the Bourbon Glaze burger and upgraded the fries to add bacon and queso. My husband ordered the spicy avocado burger and also upgraded the fries. My burger was well cooked and seasoned and the bourbon glaze added a hit of sweetness. My only complaint is that the glaze is on the thinner side so my bun was pretty soggy by the time we got home and the glaze is the only wet condiment on the burger, so I ended up adding some mayo. The fries were crispy and salted well and the bacon and queso were great with them. I didn't get to try my husband's burgers, but he said it was delicious and he really liked the cilantro aioli on it. We'll have to give their brick and mortar location a go soon.

Cousins Maine Lobster has been around the KC area for a few years now. I had been to a few pop ups…read morewhen they were just starting out here, back when wait times were 2 hours. They have a bigger presence now and do more frequent pop ups so I decided to try them out again. They are just a food truck. You can check out their social media to see when and where they'll be. They also have an app but I have issues with it every single time. On my most recent visit I was unable to order online and had to do so from the truck which was fine but a little irritating. The individuals working the truck were nice but they were a bit unorganized-the iPad for payment was off, I was unable to get a receipt, I wasn't able to scan my app to get points, and I just had to guess/stand around for my food because they didn't seem to have a way to notify me that my order was up. I wasn't able quote five minutes and it was close to that amount of time. I like the lobster grilled cheese paired with the lobster bisque. The grilled cheese isn't huge but it is filling and they put a good amount of lobster in it. The bisque wasn't as good as I remembered it, it used to be richer and it seemed a little thinner than it was in the past. But it was still good with chunks of lobster. I've also had the lobster rolls and they are a little on the small side. They have a new lobster roll flight where you get to the all three varieties. And honestly, that's the way to go. You'll get the most bang for your buck and way more lobster than by getting just one. Overall, it's good and I like to visit them every now and then. They are on the pricey side for a food truck but it's lobster and we live in the landlocked Midwest so it is what it is. If you're wanting something different and feel like some lobster, definitely check them out.

I hate leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately my experience was really disappointing. I drove…read moreabout 30 minutes to the Kansas City location at Westlake Ace because the hours posted on the Cousins Maine Lobster website showed 11:30 AM-7:30 PM. I arrived around 7:03 PM. At first, I went to the wrong side of the truck because I didn't see anyone. I could hear people in the back, so I went around and asked, "Hey, did you guys close early or something?" The employee responded, "We didn't close early. We close at 7," and the way it was said came across as very rude and dismissive. I explained that the website showed they were open until 7:30 PM. He told me it didn't. I even asked if there was anything I could purchase since I had driven 30 minutes based on the hours posted online, and I was told no. I completely understand that employees have a closing time and that schedules can change. My issue is that the hours posted online said 7:30 PM, and I arrived before that time. I also have a photo of the truck timestamped at 7:12 PM, so I was clearly there before the posted closing time. I would have been much more understanding if someone had simply said, "Sorry, our actual closing time is 7 PM and the website hasn't been updated," or even apologized for the confusion. Instead, I felt like I was being treated as though I was at fault for following the hours provided by the business. Unfortunately, I left without getting to try the food, and the interaction left a really bad first impression. I hope the hours are corrected so other customers don't drive out there expecting to be served, only to find out the truck has already closed.

Whenever I think of the expression 'greasy spoon,' I will fondly remember Jim's Diner, but not…read morebecause it was very greasy or because a spoon was involved. But, this place... this epitomized the concept of the tiny diner that could, the local hidden gem that serves up amazing food in spectacular portions. When I first walked in, I heard the buzz of giant fans, and I thought, "Oh no, this place doesn't have a/c, and it's nearly 100 degrees out." Still, the reviews I'd read encouraged me to press on, as did the wonderful aroma of diner fare. This isn't a diner in the typical sense, though. First of all, there is but one table with three stalwart high chairs. You won't see a bevy of patrons here at any one time, as it is primarily carry-out. I wasn't about to eat in my car, though, but the table was more than adequate for just myself. Second, there isn't a huge menu of various dishes from all around the world. There are burgers. There are hot dogs. There are fries and tater tots and cakes and donuts. It's simple, it's direct, and it is unassuming. But, you're not going to find brie and foie gras and all that nonsense on your burgers here. Instead, you'll find bacon, cheese, chili, and jalepenos. Which is just what a solid burger place needs: good burgers! A truly decent burger isn't made so by toppings, but by beef and a solid supporting cast that doesn't try to take the lead. The patties are enormous, so please be cautious when ordering. I asked how big one patty was, and the woman told me it was only 7 and 1/2 ounces. ONLY! So, my double with bacon and cheese was probably over a pound of meat with the bacon. It was so big, but it was so good, I had to forego the remaining half of bun and toppings to finish the good stuff. It was an incredible experience. I didn't even notice the fans after a minute, and the burger was one I would readily order again. Maybe I might skip breakfast, though. Side of cheese tots was also very plentiful, and I didn't quite make it through half, though I chalk that up to the size of the burger too. Service: super friendly. She checked on me, even though I was divided by the counter and din of the fans. Overall, this was one of those experiences you hope to have when traveling, or even in your own backyard. Seek out Jim's, get it to go (or bet on the one table being open), and bring an appetite.

This is good eating! I was in the mood for a porkchop sandwich, and after a very quick Google,…read moreJim's popped up. Once I looked over the menu, I knew I was interested in trying more than one side item, so I was pleased to know the porkchop sandwich came with fries! I placed my order over the phone, and picked up about 20 minutes later. The sandwich comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and pickles. The porckchop itself was seasoned well, and cooked perfectly! It's been a minute since I've had fried mushrooms, so when I saw them on the menu, I knew I was going to include them in my order. They were delicious, but some of the pieces were just the breading with no mushrooms inside. I'd still order them again! I'm a risk taker. My order totaled around $19, so if you're in the mood for something hearty, filling, and low cost, this is your place. --The restaurant itself was nice and clean, and the employee that assisted me was very kind. There's no seating inside, but there's a table outside that could be used when it's warm.

Finally stopped by Tacos El Gallo and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered online without issue…read more Parking on SW Boulevard is always a nightmare, especially in that little area but I was able to find a spot after a few loops around. I wish I would've had more time to look around the market because it looked like they had a lot of good stuff but I'll have to go back and see. They do have tables inside that you can eat at. The food was done at the quoted time and was accurate. The one individual I encountered was friendly. The menu was very straightforward-tacos, burritos, and a few other items, all can be customized. I had to get an order of chips and queso. I really liked their queso. It had good flavor and wasn't overly spicy. The chips were fresh and held up to the queso nicely. I'm definitely probably alway going to order this when I go. I also tried a taco with carne asada. The tacos are the street variety but they are really good sized. They don't skimp on the meat. And the carne asada was really good. No gristle or gross bits. It was chopped finely and I'd definitely order it again. I also had to try a burrito. I tried the El pastor for that and added on all the toppings-cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I also opted for extra meat because it was super cheap-like $1, so why not? Again, I was not disappointed. I did throw my burrito on the good 'ol George Foreman when I got home because they don't grill it at all and I wanted some grill marks on that tortilla. Otherwise, the el pastor was flavorful and tender and the toppings were all fresh. Per usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach so I saved half of my burrito, but it was a welcome leftover meal the following day. Definitely check them out if you're on the boulevard and want some tasty, Mexican grub.

A Hidden Gem in Kansas City!…read more We flew into Kansas City for a quick getaway and, of course, we had to find some good local food! After searching for tacos, we put the car in motion and headed to Tacos El Gallo on Southwest Blvd--and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by two beautiful, spirited Hispanic young ladies who were incredibly welcoming and took the time to explain the menu and help us decide what to try. We went with the chicken, steak, and birria tacos, along with corn elote. We paired everything with mango and hibiscus agua fresca, and let me just say... WHEW! Everything was fresh, but lacked seasoning! The birria tacos were definitely a standout, but honestly, we enjoyed everything we ordered. And the customer service made the experience even better. If you're visiting Kansas City and looking for some authentic, flavorful tacos with great hospitality, put Tacos El Gallo on your list!
