Grabbed the South Beach burrito deal for lunch. Big portion for the price, the filling ratio was decent as well. I didn't find it as salty but it was well-seasoned. It did take a bit to get the food though even though they weren't as busy. Only got take out but there's plenty of seating and space. I haven't tried the tacos yet but would be next on my list. read more

10/10 tacos Not your traditional spot--more elevated/fancy but SO worth it. Fried lobster taco is by far the best taco I've ever had! Carne asada was also amazing From out of town and already wish we had this back home read more

The food and beverages are amazing! From the Paloma and spicy margarita to the guacamole, the beginning of our lunch was delicious. The funky, unusual tacos were just the right blend of flavors. Finishing the meal with churros and a chocolate dipping sauce was magnificent! I moved away from the KC area four years ago. This restaurant was a must-have when I passed through KC again. The food and service was as I always remembered it! read more

It's YE Gurl @ Session Taco When you're in the land of barbecue and brisket -- and you don't eat either -- finding a good meal can feel like a quest. Enter *Session Taco* to save the day (and the weekend). I don't always make it to the location; sometimes I just Uber Eats it. But this time, between event sessions and tight schedules, we had to dial it in. Worth it. Every. Bite. The Cali Burrito ($18) was clutch -- packed with vegan chorizo, cilantro rice, refried black beans, chopped romaine, pico de gallo, micro cilantro, guacamole, and hibiscus pickled onions. Flavor on flavor. I shared a few bites with the beau, who had the Shrimp Fajita Bowl ($18): cilantro rice, smashed black beans, fajita peppers and onions, Oaxaca cheese, pico, chipotle sauce, and cotija. Balanced, hearty, and just the right kick. Pro move -- I ordered an extra bowl for the hotel fridge. It hit just as good the next day. Sometimes the best plan is a solid reheat and a quiet bite before the next event. read more

Service is slow food was mediocre and bland in my opinion. I got mango habanero shrimp tacos and not heat and no mango flavor was to be found. read more

I should've known the second I had to pay for chips and salsa that this meal was going to be sub par. My friends and I got a margarita pitcher to split and for it being $44, I would've expected it to be stronger. It resembled watered down juice. I got the shredded beef fajita bowl and it was lacking flavor, but I will say the quality of the beef was nice. I do not think this meal was worth the price. read more

Despite the chain-feel, this place has pretty solid Mexican food! The location is great, it's nestled in among the "brewery blocks" (I forget what KCMO calls this area) so you can walk to lots of other places if you're thirsty afterwards. Speaking of thirsty, a co-worker and I got "Zombies". A drink I remember a drug and alcohol teacher telling me about when I was 15 years old (required education in FL)...he almost seemed to brag about how potent they were. I had never had one before. I had one here. He was right. read more

Service was some of the worst we have ever experienced. We got our drinks and our server did not come back to refill our drinks the remainder of the time we were there. We had to ask another server to get us water. While they were not busy, multiple tables came in and had gotten their food and paid before we even got our main meal. Our table got here early afternoon and was waiting on our food for almost an hour and a half, and it was cold (obviously have been sitting there for a while). Anything we needed from the server, we either had to approach them specifically or wait until she came to our table. read more

Session Taco, formerly Mission Taco has always been a great spot for a marg or a bite to eat. I went with a group for my 29th birthday dinner and it was a great choice, especially being right next door to iTap where we went after! Their tacos are great and I love the number of meat-free options that they have. Their margs are strong and their service is quick. If you're a street taco kind of person, definitely show them a little love! read more

This restaurant is EXTREMELY mid... If you are from KC, you more than likely have heard of this place. It is severely overhyped. Nothing about it stood out. When you eat the food you think to yourself, "it's ight but it's not good and it's nothing different than anything else you've ever had. In addition the service was absolutely terrible, I genuinely believe we saw our server twice, once when they took our order and another when they brought out the check. Not even a water re-fill...overall MID I'd give it a 2 1/2 out a 5 if I could. Hopefully it gets better in the future but this time wasn't it. read more

My friend and I stopped in here for a quick bite to eat. It's a great space, very fun and has an upbeat vibe. Every staff members was friendly and helpful. We split the Mexican Street Corn Fritters which were amazing!! My taco had great flavor but was a little light on the mahi-mahi. That said, I would definitely order it again. My only wish would be that they offered a round of complimentary chips & salsa. We didn't have drinks but would love to come back for happy hour. read more

We had the best time here! The restaurant has a fun, surf/beach type decor. We were greeted warmly as soon as we arrived and taken to a booth. It happened to be Happy Hour, so margaritas were $2 off. My frozen/blended margarita was amazing! We got the queso con chorizo as an appetizer. The cheese was creamy and the spicy chorizo was tasty. We did not leave any queso behind! My husband and I both got tacos. He got a Hot Fried Chicken taco, a Mango Habanero Shrimp taco, and a Spicy Chorizo taco. I tried the chorizo taco and it was spicy as promised, and very good! I ordered a Mango Habanero Shrimp taco, a Carnitas taco, and a Fried Baja Fish Taco. Every taco was unique and flavorful. I would order all of them again! We come to Kansas City several times a year, and we will most definitely be back for more tacos. read more

We stopped in for a date night and had a good time. We were seated quickly and the staff members were friendly. The portions were on the smaller side and it took a while for our drinks. The salsa has a very fire roasted flavor -- it wasn't for me but my partner liked it. The tacos were fresh but I was hoping for more for the price. The burrito was a better value for sure. It was enough for 2 people to share! read more

I had hopes the Session Taco buy wouldn't change the product. Sad to report first impressions aren't great. Not bad. Not not great. The ceviche was great. Surprised to only get four chips. And then they were stale. Bummer. They quickly replaced them with a basket of fresh chips. I will say the ceviche was SO GOOD. I can't rate the service as I sat at the bar. I would say it's more like a tuna/ guacamole stack than a ceviche though. Or maybe Poké stack? Either way. Very good Before I got the food or my drink. I was sad to see the menus were so cheap. I know there's probably some learning here. Hopefully they get back to Mission taco standards. Including the music. read more

We can in here for a quick appetizer and drinks as we wait for reservation next door. It's was early dinner time. Plenty of open tables. Hostess seated us right away. But it took us quite a while to get service. In fact, we had to ask the hostess again if there was a waitress. Once we got service, food came out right away. Looks like they have a pretty good drinks/cocktail menu. Food not too pricey. Chips come with two different salsa, spicy and mild. We ordered street taco, Ala cart. It would be a good place to come hang out with friends and have some margaritas. 3-stars for service not on par. read more

We really liked everything we got here! We got the Mexican street corn fritters and those weee delicious! Highly recommend. We have never had anything quite like that. We also got the queso con chorizo. It was also very good! A couple at our table both got drinks and they liked them. They were decorated nicely. One got the mahi and lobster tacos and he enjoyed both of those. Overall great vibes! read more

We were here from St Louis. Frequent flyers to the soulard location, so we were so excited to come in, especially for the margaritas. Unfortunately they are not what they use to be. They use to rattle these drinks for 30 seconds plus ending with the most delicious frothy cold marg I've ever had. This one today , the spicy marg tastes just like a regular mix margarita. Only rattled 6 times. We haven't decided on whether we will eat now. Super super disappointed!!!! read more

Session Taco - Just a spicy margarita, nothing special, tastes like a mix - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Went for KCRW. Incredible experience. Top notch service. Loved the vibe of the restaurant. Plenty of open well lit seating. Vibrant bar area. But let's talk food... Dip Duo - Fire roasted poblano salsa and their signature queso con cerveza with house made tortilla chips. Perfect start. The cheese dip was super tasty and of great consistency for dipping. Loved the poblano flavor of the salsa. What a great start! Tacos - 3 Tacos of your choice. I choose the carne asada, hot fried chicken and mango-hop-andero shrimp. Each had their own vibe of flavors. Standout was the carne asada with the fire from the avocado serrano sauce. Full of fresh ingredients making this taco lover happy! Churritos - 3 mini churros in cinnamon sugar served with Mexican chocolate sauce. The soft chew of the churro, the cinnamon sugar and that delicious chocolate. Simply amazing! read more

I love this place. Last night we met my bestie and her wife there for dinner and as usual, everything was delicious. The service is always good, the place is clean and bright.

If there was something less than one star that's what I would rate it. Last night before the concert at Grinders we got there around 6:00 PM. It took 15 minutes before any server paid attention to us. The server was absolutely rude. We ordered drinks and the meal together. They provided no plates or flatware. My wife and friend ate their lousy tacos off of napkins. The fish taco smelled like they left out the fish for days. And they bought out most of the tacos on a platter and basically told us to figure out our order. Well, it's hard to tell which taco belongs to anyone when it's covered with lettuce and cheese. We finally got out of there around 7:30 PM and missed the first act next door. My office is less than one block away and I will never go back there. Worst dining experience in recent memory! read more

The food here was so ridiculously good, I was surprised! I figured it'd be good but not great-- but I was really pleasantly surprised! It blew me away with the guac, the corn (elote vibe with no heat) and the quesadilla. I also got a drink, and it was strong enough to feel worth it but tasted very good! Great server as well, gave us some other good KC recommendations. I'd suggest this place to anyone visiting the area who loves a good vibe and a good taco. read more

Excellent service! Our waitress was fantastic! Cute little spot off the main road. People watching was super fun. The food was ok. The BLT taco was different. The carne asada was very boring. I definitely wouldn't order it again. The mango shrimp were ok - needed a little heat. We did chips and queso and chips and guac and they were ok too. Will give them another shot next year when we're back in town. read more

Not a friendly greeting. Seated and Ordered drinks. Took some time to look at menu. Waited. Ordered an appetizer. Waited. Ordered dinner. Waited. Appetizer and dinner arrived. Didn't check back until almost done. NO SALSA. Seriously?!? No salsa for the tacos? Then our drinks FINALLY arrived. Server was aware. No apologies, no acknowledgment. That sucked. Oh and a margarita is $13!!! read more

Poor service. over priced gringo tacos. Try Independence Ave, SW Blvd, Grinders or KCK instead.

Who knew you could find decent street tacos in the Midwest!? A lovely space, friendly service and nice beer selection. I'm sure there are a lot of places in KC now that have good tacos. These were tasty ad not over priced. We'd come back often if we lived in KC. read more

Great food, friendly staff and service is great! Fun place to check out and eat some amazing tacos. BLT tacos are the best!

Came in on a packed night but still was able to be seated right away. The drinks were good as well as the appetizers and entrees we got. Our favorite were the corn fritters. The staff was very accommodating and helped with drink suggestions as well as even with our taco entrees. There happens to be a mission taco joint that opened in leawood even closer to us but I definitely feel this one is a little bit louder in a good way for a night out. read more

Session Taco - Corn fritters, guac and Guacamole & Chips - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

So close to a 4 star review but, the service at the bar yesterday was slow and they seemed to be understaffed for lunch service. Not necessarily the bartenders fault that they were short staffed but, it did take a while after our water orders to get drink orders in. Also, on a service note, at the end of our meal it was a bit of a lag to get our check so, that was a bummer. But, the food was better than I had remembered it to be even if it is still a little expensive per taco. The tacos themselves are street taco in style but with twists in flavor and definitely are packed full but, at nearly $4 per taco they better be. I went with the mushroom meat free taco and was surprised with the intense smokey flavor also the creamy black beans and crumbled salty cheese and the crispy fried onions were perfect rich accompaniments to a vegetarian dish. I was very intrigued with the BLT taco on the menu and may have to bite the bullet and try it next time. My friend went with the safe choice of their barbeque chicken taco and seemed to enjoy their pick. We also spilt a fun appetizer that was named as street corn fritters on the menu however, when they arrived they were closer to hush puppies opposed to fried mac n cheese balls (like I was expecting). Even though they weren't exactly what I envisioned they were mighty tasty and we're especially savory with a squirt of lime on top. The cheese that I was picturing inside the fritters turned out to be a generous helping of nutty parmesan snow all over the top. All in all, this was a fun take on a sharable tex mex appetizer. Now I do really wish that this Mission Taco would focus a little more on the ambiance and service because both haven't ever been their strong suits. The walls are painted with an odd scene of a robot observing a futuristic city...ok? Strange, yes...also strange, the array of mismatched nacho libre style masks on the wall by the shared bathroom with International Tap House, which is the best feature by far of Mission Taco- the bathrooms and that's quite sad. They had an opportunity here to either go all in and make this place a fun cheesy (both literally and metaphorically) Mexican fiesta type of decorated type of "white people taco place" or they could have went a little more classy clean-lines aesthetic since the building is more modern. Think the new chic Mexican spot Calavera's in downtown Lees Summit. If Mission Taco fixes it's identity crisis on the inside then I could over look the sub par service this time and call it a fluke but, I think it has a few things to work on...the food not being one of them. Also, the refried black beans are amazing so silky and delicious you have to order a side of them to try! read more

Every single ingredient in this burrito, from the wheat tortilla, to the unmeltable cheap daiya cheese, to the worst imitation meat that tasted like a truck tire, was low quality and worse than flavorless. I have had probably 1000 burritos, lifetime, and this single burrito was the first one I ever took one bite of and couldn't continue because of how gross it was. My wife was stoned with the munchies and even SHE couldn't take two bites. The server even straight up told us that their vegan options were gross here after we tried it and I was honest about it. I was like, yeah I know. Still even after that exchange charged us full price for both burritos of course. Why even offer a vegan option if no one working here even likes it? There are so many amazing creative ways to make a burrito. Please learn how to use a vegetable. Here's how I know mission tacos truly doesn't care. They take the time to differentiate between "vegetarian" and "vegan" on their menu and messed it all up making it confusing. Vegetarian means there's cheese on it. The salsa is labeled vegetarian, so I had to ask if the salsa had some kind of dairy in it, making the server who has no idea what that means walk all the way back to the kitchen to ask if SALSA has cheese in it. Weird moment. Just put the salsa down as vegan. Don't eat here it's not edible read more

We came here for my friend's birthday lunch. Our server was super attentive and friendly! I loved his energy and enthusiasm. When we arrived at 11am on a Saturday, it was pretty empty, so the food was served quickly. To start, we shared a pitcher of the hibiscus margarita, which was tasty. Two of the girls shared the restaurant week lunch special (which was more than enough food for two people). It came with queso and salsa, chips, 3 tacos, and 3 churros. I ordered the carne asada fries. The fries were tasty, but the steak was pretty tough. The other girls ordered tacos, which were very creative and colorful. Our server brought out extra churros for our friend's birthday, which was a nice touch. read more

MTJ is a huge space and has a very relaxing vibe. They have a happy hour menu for both food & drink as well. Our wait was a tad bit long for it being less than halfway full on a weeknight. But our server was very attentive with refilling waters and checking in on us. I ordered the Brah-rito because I can never turn down fries in a burrito. The burrito was smaller than I'd expect and overwhelmingly meat (both beef and pork)--- you honestly couldn't taste much else and it was pretty light on the fries. I'd definitely recommend ordering something else! read more

We had plans to be down in the Crossroads for the day and decided to grab lunch while there. We ended up at Mission Taco Joint. Parking can be a little hectic, but there is some free street parking available and a couple paid lots close by. Walking in pretty much exactly at the lunch hour on a Saturday, we were surprisingly seated right away. The decor is fun and casual and to me, at least, gave off some beachy vibes. The menu is basically a la carte items: tacos, burritos, tortas and a selection of sides you can order separately. I knew we were going somewhere else for drinks after, so as much as I wanted to try their margaritas I had to pass this time and went for an iced tea. There were a lot of items on the menu that I wanted to try, but I ended up ordering two tacos and a side of their street corn. The street corn was good, creamy and with a generous topping of cotija cheese, however it was missing the chili aspect and lime. A little tajin or something similar on top would have made it perfect. The habanero shrimp taco came with mango salsa and was delicious. For being habanero, it wasn't overly spicy. The only downside would be that there didn't seem to be that much shrimp in the taco. A little more shrimp and a little less topping would have been great. My second taco was unfortunately not what I ordered. I had asked for a carnitas taco and was brought a spicy chorizo taco. I like chorizo and I like spice so I just ate it, but do wish I had gotten the one I had wanted to try. The chorizo lived up to the spicy hype, between the meat itself and the pickled jalapenos, it packed a kick. The fresh avocado and pineapple salsa did help to cool it down though. All in all, I enjoyed the food and would want to come back to try some more options. read more
