    I was sad to see my favorite birria shop go out of business in this location last year and I am even more sad that I waited so long to check out it's replacement - Pollos El Junior. this is the third Mexican style BBQ chicken joint that I know of in the metro and it clearly blows the other two away. PEJ's product is front and center when approaching the counter. The giant rotisserie with open flame can handle a couple dozen whole chickens at a time and it provides a succulent and mesmerizing marketing tool. We ordered a 1/2 chicken and had it doused with a flavorful chipotle sauce; a gritty kick that complimented the smoky and tender chicken. Served with tortillas, charros, rice and 2 sauces - a jalapeno/cilantro and a sweet heat pineapple pepper sauce. The pineapple sauce should be sold by the quart for take-out! We also added 2 large pork rib bones for $7. We chose not to sauce them and enjoyed them with the side dipping sauces. Very good, but when you have so many amazing rib shacks in this BBQ city, it's hard to make the top tier. Excellent customer service from the counter and speaking with the owner at the table next to us while taking a lunch break with his baby. Another 5 star authentic experience for KCK.

    Don Antonios is one of the best street taco joints/carniceria/tortilleria in Kansas City,…read moreKansas...I might as well say in the KC Metro! I've eaten there for years, but one of my recent stops made me realize it's more than just the food. Please read on.... An immigrant showed me friendship in food, even though I was a stranger. The place was packed and the only open table was where the workers sit. I was by myself, but one of the restaurant workers came up with her lunch and gestured to me if she could sit at the table. I smiled and said "Si." I noticed she was eating birria tacos with consomme and it looked delicious. She saw me and laughed, said something in Spanish which I think translated into "Would you like some birria and consomme?" I nodded yes and she went back to the kitchen and returned with a small container. You can tell from the video the broth was rich, the birria was tender and fatty (but in the best way)! I tried to convey to her it was great and thank you. She asked me something in Spanish and I could only respond in a gringo "Que'?" I finally used Google Translate and she was asking if I worked nearby. I was dressed in my blue collar clothes! I used the App to tell her I drove in from my part of town and she smiled and laughed. I think she understood how much I loved eating at Don Antonios, because I would drive at least 25 minutes to eat there. If she only knew I'm there every week! This experience reinforced what I already knew. Immigrants are kind and caring people. Just like my grandparents when they arrived in America before WWII. I also know what my family and I have experienced when you don't look like the majority.... Just my two cents and a tip of the hat to an immigrant who showed me friendship in food, even though I was a stranger.

You order at the end of the counter and then follow the line of diners to the cash register to pay. Most were taking their orders to go, but there is a small section of tables if you want to dine in.

The menu is huge, packed with endless combinations of classic favorites and unique twists, so there's truly something for everyone. If you dine in, do not skip the complimentary chips and salsa bar. Warm, crispy chips and multiple salsas ranging from mild to "okay, I feel that" spicy--pick your poison and enjoy. Delicious all around. I've stopped in several times and keep coming back for the No. 20. It's incredibly filling and almost always leaves me with leftovers to take home (which I consider a win). Every meal has been consistently good--I haven't had a disappointing bite yet. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable, with plenty of tables and booths. The staff is friendly and happy to help you navigate the menu if you need a little guidance. Reliable, tasty, and easy--this place is definitely worth adding to your regular rotation

I got the birria tacos and a beef taco -- they were so good. The birria needed just a touch of salt, which was no problem since I could add it myself.

    Fantastic dinner!…read more Amazing food! I had Mole Enchilada with rice, and ordered seasonal vegetables as side. Our table also had table side guacamole and salsa and chips. That mole was amazing! I'll be back - the mole and guac makes my mouth water thinking about it. The Mole Enchilada with chicken was so delicious - deep flavor with juicy shredded chicken. The seasonal vegetables included broccolini, carrots, and asparagus - slightly crunchy, just the way I liked them cooked! I also had a La Chimosa cocktail - c a m a r e n a tequila blanco, l i m e, a g a v e, g r a p e f r u i t soda, passion fruit - pretty good. I enjoyed the ambiance - lots of beautiful art on the walls, subtle lighting, green plants, tasteful decorations, table lines, and relaxed atmosphere. We were there on a Monday night - it wasn't busy. It was a great place to go for our business group of five. Servers were friendly, especially the woman at the front as you entered. We had a nice chat while I waited for the rest of our table to arrive. They validated parking in the garage next door - so keep that in mind if street parking is unavailable. Pricing was what I would expect for this nice location. It was $$ to $$$ depending on what you ordered. I would definitely go back and recommend!

When we arrived right at…read moreopening (11am), we asked for a table for two and were immediately told there was nothing available--even though the dining room was completely empty and we were the first guests there. After the host "checked," he suddenly found a table and seated us, but his attitude felt dismissive and unwelcoming from the start. We began with chips and salsa, which were actually very good. We also ordered two café de olla lattes along with chilaquiles and the chorizo Benedict. Our drinks never arrived, and when our food was brought out, our server Santiago noticed and went to check. I asked him to cancel one latte and just bring the other, but it still took another 10 minutes to arrive. When it finally did, the cup was chipped, making it unsafe to drink from. The food itself was underwhelming--the eggs on the Benedict were overcooked instead of runny as they should be. On top of that, Santiago only checked on us once, and that was just to drop off the check. Overall, the service felt inattentive and the experience didn't match expectations. We left unsatisfied and likely won't be returning.
