Went here the other day and thinking this place is like the one on 64th and oh boy, was we wrong…read more It's a pretty place that is vibrant and lots of space. Saw two little kids laying in two booths assuming it's a family business. Also, Half the restaurant was empty. We went here for the tacos and It was okay. Very mediocre. Needed our sauce we got with our chips to add more flavor and help with the dryness of the meat. Our server also wasn't attentive or nice. He didn't even check in on us. I think place is a no for us. They got so much potential but they were definitely slacking in customer service and flavors.

I had to drop my vehicle off down the street and ate here for lunch while waiting. I've eaten at…read morethis location before and have gotten mixed reviews. I ordered my food with chicken, add zucchini and no lettuce (I'm allergic to the lettuce). When I got my plate, lettuce was on it so I sent it back. Then when it came back, it was a steak burrito. Not a big fan that I had to send it back the first time but the second time was even irritating. I assume these mistakes happen because the servers assume they don't need to take down the order in the slightest amount, then they forget the details by the time they put the order into the kitchen. My issue with this is that the waitress didn't take blame for it and blamed it on her kitchen both times and never offered any money off the bill for the problems. Because of the waitress's lack of responsibility and that there was more than one error, I gave them three stars. I took another star off for the fact that the red enchilada sauce didn't taste good.

This was our first time coming to this Mexican restaurant, and we consider ourselves to be Mexican…read morefood snobs! Ha! We love our Mexican food! The inside of the restaurant is classic industrial, cozy, super casual, and has a fun upbeat vibe. Everyone serving in the restaurant at all different levels is very kind and friendly. When we sat down, we were brought the typical basket of tortilla chips, along with their homemade salsa... And an extra surprise was there Mini bowl of queso dip. It was creamy and yummy. The salsa wasn't as spicy as we prefer, but it was decent. Our sever took our drink rider which were margaritas. They have a very long list of all types of flavors of margaritas... Are you in the mood, this is a place to go! They also offer three different sizes in the margaritas, plus a ton of other drinks as they have a very large bar. It was a Saturday night, so It was pretty crowded, but there was not a wait for a table. Our waitress brought back our margaritas, but it took her over 35 minutes to get to our table to even take our dinner order. At least they brought us three baskets of chips to hold us over! After a little over a half hour, she came back to our table and asked us if we were still waiting for our food... We explained to her that she never actually took our dinner order to begin with. We ordered street tacos and jalepeno cream cheese ans chicken enchiladas... black beans and rice. Everything was tasty. We were starving at this point because it was almost an hour when our food arrived. She apologized for forgetting about us in between the tables served before us... It was worth it... however, we will order for take out next time. Waiting at our table and having 30 min between a margarita and a meal was too long for our liking.

Absolutely loved the coconut margarita! Love that they put coconut around the rim too. Definitely will come back.

I've seen some comments about the consommé not being salty enough... but let's be real: if you think that, you probably don't know what real Mexican food is supposed to taste like. The flavors here are spot on. I had the quesabirria tacos, and they are truly to die for--cheesy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The street tacos are also a solid choice if you want to try a few different things. But whatever you do, don't leave without dessert. There are so many amazing options, plus ice cream! I highly recommend the strawberries with Dubai chocolate--they are absolutely divine. I'm still dreaming about that rich pistachio and chocolate combo... seriously unforgettable. Can't wait to go back and try more. This place is the real deal!

But go to abelardos down the street, way better but the line is always longer. Hmmm I wonder why hopefully just a shitty cook but I'm not coming back to find out this was a to go experience. Maybe you need to sit down .. also the bathroom smelt like shit, but it was clean.. also I got a couple pieces of hard rice but I guess that happens.

It's time for me to finally leave a review for El Maguey…read more I have been going to El Maguey for most of my life, at varying locations around Blue Springs and Independence. So many good memories of dining there with friends and family. Now, my husband and I live closest to this North Oak location, and it is our most visited and most reliable date night spot. We are literally NEVER disappointed. The food is always hot, delicious, and fresh. The margaritas are good. The service is friendly and fast. The vibes are just all around great. Having been going there for so many years and trying so many different dishes, I've landed on a favorite that I get every time, which is the quesadilla fajita (I get steak in mine.) My husband switches it up more often, but he always enjoys what he gets. There have been multiple nights where our previous dinner plans fell apart and we are starving and irritated, then we get to El Maguey and everything is immediately better. I love El Maguey so much, it is definitely my favorite restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. Thank you El Maguey!!

Found Chef Tito's from recommendations on a local northland eateries page and looked forward to…read moretrying it, but unfortunately the mark was missed for me. Arriving on a taco Tuesday at 6pm to an empty restaurant probably should have been my first clue, but at this point still hoping I was in on something good and everyone else was just missing out (very wrong). First, $5 for chips and salsa - not always fun to pay for chips and salsa when most places don't charge, but I understand it. However, chips were on the stale side and the salsa, while flavorful, was very mild and way over salted. We couldn't enjoy much of it. I asked the server about taco Tuesday specials featured directly on their website, had to ask the question a couple different times before she landed on telling me they got a new pay system and since the deal wasn't in the system, she couldn't honor the deal. She also seemed confused, so I didn't push further. Ordered waters (never received them), house margaritas (not too sweet, generous, and strong - pretty great marg!) and street tacos (chicken, pastor, asada - all incredible dry and under seasoned, didn't taste like they had marinated in anything, I was genuinely baffled by this). My tacos came out a full 10 minutes before my friend's tacos (same exact taco order - and I'll remind you we're still the only people in the restaurant...). We then watched our server get a little upset with the cook while pointing to our table, so there were some interesting, public communication issues among the staff. Finally, when the time came to pay, they presented their tap system, where the server was walked me through my items and processed it, quickly selecting the tip amount on my behalf me and finalizing it before I could say anything. I asked her about the tip, she pointed to show me how much it was, and I shared that I understand that but she selected it for me. She laughed, said thanks, walked away. I wasn't planning to return based on the food, but the forced tip amount at the end of a pretty bad dinner experience was what really changed the tone of my review. I love local Mexican spots and I hope they read this and make some changes to their service. NKC is growing and I'd hate for them to fall flat among the other competitors doing a little more for their customers.
