This place is very authentic. The food is amazing and staff very friendly. You're not going to find Americanized MEXICAN food here, so if you think Jose Peppers is good Mexican then this place isn't for you. Cheers. read more

My first visit was a pleasure, with a warm smile at greeting, prompt ordering, and minimal wait time for my meal. I highly recommend.

My wife (from Mexico) and I tried El Saguaro for the first time today and was very good, very Mexico authentic. The huevos machaca was fantastic! It's hard to find a good Mexican breakfast place in the metro, let alone machaca! We're so happy to of found this place and will definitely be going back. read more

Stopped for dinner. Noticed the dining room was almost empty and a little dingy. The chips and salsa was ok, stale chips, not warm. The service was great and my order of Barbacoa arrived in under 10 minutes. The food was hot and tasted good. The beef was shredded and tasted like slightly spicy pot roast. The corn tortillas were house made. Rice and beans were average. Overall the pros outweigh the cons. read more

Love the authenticity of this place. The staff is so sweet. I will say, I find their chicken to be dry generally, but anything beef is top notch. My daughter will drink the salsa. read more

Very nice small authentic Mexican restaurant. The interior is rustic and has stuffed deer heads on the wall. The street tacos are amazing and I really loved the fajitas, we got the mix which was chicken, beef and shrimp. They where very generous with their meats and it was large enough to share. Made the mistake of ordering the gorditas, they do not look like the picture and I was very disappointed in that. They serve Mexican beer and Mexican Coke. Prices are not bad. Not an expensive dinner. Staff are friendly but English is not their strong suit. Over all we had a very enjoyable experience. Would've given them 5 stars if not for the gorditas. read more

This is the second time we have ate at El Saguaro. We thought we had found our new favorite restaurant ! Last Sunday was busy and fantastic! We ordered pozole which was meat hot and delicious! We had a Couple other dishes that were incredible. This week NO MEAT and Cold posole!! There was a table across from us who has posole that was super meaty and Hardy! Our posole even had some strange color. I still can't get over that it was cold. The tamales were nothing but the corn mix! Teensy tiny string of pork in the middle. Two tamales NO beans NO rice but we got Charge $8 as if it were an entire meal! It was almost like we were totally invisible today. We had to call someone over to place our order and add to order! It was a total disaster! So sad and disgusted! read more

Horrible excuse for Mexican food. Very very disappointing and took forever for no one being there

Really good food. The guacamole was out of this world, easily the best one i'd ever had from a restaurant. Our waitress was very nice the only thing I did not enjoy was the long wait time for our food. Other than that, everything was perfect! read more

I'm Mexican. So, I can tell you without any doubt this place has not any kind of authentic Mexican taste, (nor any kind of good taste).I've came a couple times here but, I'm sure won't back again read more

This was delicious! The server was friendly and made great recommendations. Had the Gordita with a corn tortilla (made there), steak and green chili, which was just scrumptious and my friend got the barbacoa tacos-yummy! The decor, was a little weird if I'm honest, lots of dead animals, but I'll forgive that over good food any day. read more

Excellent food and super friendly service. The restaurant was very clean and bright. I ordered 2 tacos and a tamale and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. Perfect for people with a short lunch. They also include free chips and salsa. I'll definitely be back to try the get of the menu. Another great Mexican option in Olathe! read more

I've been here three times and every time the food has been amazing. Being from California this is one of the few places in the KC area that serves real Mexican food and not Tex mex. the El Dorado (regular hard tacos) are really good! The only thing I wish they had was soft drink options vs. just refrigerator bottles. Will definitely be back!!! read more

My taco lunch plate (three tacos, refried beans, and rice with free chips and salsa) was a very good deal at just $5.99. The chips were thin and crispy, and the medium salsa had a nice kick. The tacos had plenty of chicken and fresh veggies, the refried beans were delicious, and the rice was very good. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry and over-cooked to the point where most of it was crunchy. The service was excellent (friendly, fast, and attentive), while the dining area was clean with three TVs and Mexican music. read more

The steak on the steak burrito was scarce. The red sauce they covered it with reminded me of ketchup and chili powder. There is an 8% covid-19 surcharge, I guess to make up for lost revenue. They have you wash your hands before sitting down, yet no one wears a mask or used gloves. The girl at the front took a takeout order out the did not disinfect before bring out our food. The surcharge would be fine if they were following protocols. I doubt if we will be going back it used to be our favorite. Time to try and find another Mexican restaurant. read more

Wow..... This place is awesome!!! Very good Carne Asada Tacos. Comfortable small place. Friendly waitresses

Wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant! The service is friendly, and the food delicious as always. Menudo is one of my favorites here!

What ever happened to a good "Hole in the wall" Mexican restaurant? Let's start with the inexperienced staff. No personality whatsoever. Next, I asked for a milder sauce with our chips. It was very clear, My exact words were, "excuse me, do you have any milder sauce? a few moments later, my wife and I were having a conversation and the waitress placed the sauce on the table. The next thing I knew, after I dipped a chip in the sauce and took a bite, my mouth was on fire. It was their hottest sauce! No apology at all. She just stood there with a dumb look on her face as I was in agony. I could not talk, my wife explained what happened, guess what, she just walked of... Now for the food, wow, maybe this was just a bad night, I don't know, but what I do know is, I wouldn't feed it to a dog. I ordered the Baracoa flat steak with cactus. 1. Steak was extremely dry and tough (they didn't even ask how I wanted my steak cooked). 2. The cactus was in my opinion 3 days old. The color was not fresh and it was so mushy with no taste. 3. The refried beans and rice were not fresh at all. It seems it was left over from lunch. Rice was hard and the re-fried beans were like they were left out all day and then warmed up and server. I'm am originally from L.A. California, I know what good Mexican food should taste like. This was not. Warning - DO NOT TRY. You'll be sorry unless something change. read more

The food was delish and plenty for the money. The restaurant was warm, especially on a hot day. The service was ok. read more

Sat down and waitresses walked around me even looking at me several times and after 10 minutes I wasn't waited on.. maybe because I didn't look like everyone else? I don't really care what the reason was it was ridiculous read more

The older lady is not sanitary I asked her to put gloves on and she never did. She kept handling raw and cooked foods without washing her hands. Also I asked for a to go container for cocktail de cameron and it was filthy. I will not go there due to the fact I do not wish to get sick!!! That's too bad because the food was not terrible ( also not the best) but I would have gone back if it was not for that reason. Mind you I went on 3 occasions and each one was exactly the same even after asking if she would glove up. So I hope no one gets ill. I can only hope she washes after using the lavatory! read more

Some of the best places for a honest meal are found in strip malls. This one included. This is the type of restaurant that I would feel comfortable just telling the wait staff to surprise me with anything on the menu. It's all good. I try to get lunch here a few times a month and have never been disappointed. read more

Terrific food! I had the fajitas de pollo -- they were great! Great flavor and good amounts. Would definitely go back. Loved the small personal feel of the venue. Highly recommend. read more

Friendly, authentic, homemade tortillas, what else can be said. Dont miss this place! We had posole, taco and tamales. We will go again.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever ate at. When I arrived at it I didn't think it would be that good but it was the only Mexican place around me. But when I sat down I was greeted by very friendly staff and they were very nice and helpful. Then I order my meal and the food tasted delicious. read more
