Chicken Al Pastor
Shyla Z.

I ordered takeout from Taco Naco. It was good but I agree with some of the other reviews on it being a little pricey for what you actually get. Which makes this a place to eat at seldomly. I get it though, people's prices are their prices. Food ordered: chicken Al pastor taco, brisket barbecoa quesadilla, chips and a super small cup of queso! The taco was good but my favorite was/is the quesadilla. The chips are flavorful. Going back to the cost. $2.10 is crazy for the little bitty cup of queso. It should be .90 cents just like the 1.5 ounce cup of salsa is. I digress though! Overall, their food is pretty good. I'm sure it won't be the last time I go.

I came in with low expectations coming from California but I was throughly impressed. The tacos are definitely dressed up traditional flavors. The tortillas were thin enough that they might be homemade though I wish it came with two tortillas. I ordered the chicken Al pastor which were juicy with more filling than fit the taco. The pineapple added a nice freshness to each bite. The salsa it comes with is a bit watery but with a bit of a punch. The horchata tastes like it came from a mix but still delicious. Though not a traditional street taco, still worth it

I drive past this place ALL THE TIME and I never realized they had a back patio!! It's sort of tucked into a neighborhood so it has a nice cozy vibe to it. I got the ground beef picadillo taco (ground beef taco with potatoes and pico de gallo) and it was very tasty! The queso was delish & they have seasoned chips which I always appreciate. The tomatillo salsa is delicious and very citrusy/fresh! They also have a lil market indoors to buy some products. Will definitely be back to try the brisket and birria tacos!

Esquite Street Corn: you must!
Tom V.

Street tacos are generally like snowflakes: no two are alike. There are good tacos, great tacos, and buckle-your-knees tacos and one can usually tell which is which. Taco Naco tends to be on the knee-buckling end. For starters, it's in the stinkin' name, ya know, TACO Naco, so they must know what they're doing. And oh boy, do they ever. Whether you want something simple and quick or something more, well, artisanal and fancy, this is your jam. My suggestion: get what's seasonal/special. The quesabirria tacos were featured this last time and those three tacos were absolutely a smash. Yeah, it gets messy, but these are *tacos*, not some finger food at a black tie gala. Get involved with your food and thank yourself later. Not to be outdone, my lovely wife had the pork al pastor taco alongside a brisket taco and wowza, are those sensational! The pork al pastor has pineapple sidled up alongside and those two flavors are just besties. I absolutely recommend at least one of those. Pro tip: the Mexican corn salad/salsa is a must-try, if even to share. But a taco needs a flavor profile on top and Taco Naco is bringing seven different levels of flavor and heat in their salsa lineup. You could go mild (very fresh, very flavorful) or heat it up (oh, but that creamy jalapeño) or just get flat on chili head with some habanero salsa. You do you, though, and treat your taco right, because I guarantee that will happen in return. Seating is somewhat limited in colder weather, but when the patio is open, your taco game can be spot on. Order at the counter and the servers and super helpful in helping you identify what you like, or just get some to go and crush your tacos at home. Browse the 'store' as well for Mexican specialty foods, some of Taco Naco's salsas to go, or their meats by the pound. Whatever choice you make, just know these are some of the best taco experiences you can have in the KC Metro and absolutely in the JoCo area.

To Go order of Quesabirria Soup which comes with two birria tacos.
Krista R.

This is a two part review. My first introduction to Taco Naco was a doordash order of their Quesabirria Soup and two birria tacos. By the time of delivery everything was still heated thoroughly and was delicious. The ramen noodles I was especially amazed that they were cooked perfectly and hadn't over cooked or become soggy by the time I got them. I paired the two tacos with their creamy jalapeno sauce and it was a flavor bomb. So good. A few days later I decided I need the in restaurant experience. Walking in the counter where you order is to the right and the dining table are to the left. You order and find your own seat and theb they will bring it to your table. The atmosphere is casual and fun and they even have a small market section. I had really wanted to try their pozole, but they were sadly sold out. I consoled myself with a Baja Shrimp taco and a carne asada taco with a pineapple Mango Agua Fresca to drink. To start the pineapple Mango Agua Fresca was delicious and refreshing. It's not overly sweet and the mango helps to tame some of the tartness of the pineapple. The tacos were amazing. The shrimp in the Baja taco were huge and perfectly cooked and the chipotle aioli had a hint of spice and really paired well. The carne asada taco was a little more mild and was topped with an avocado sauce. Overall, this is ts the type of fare I'm looking for when the craving for Mexican food hits and I will definitely be back.

Yeah, this place is great. Do I wish I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to get there? Yes. Do I care about losing that precious time out of my day? Not at all, it's that good. All I can report on is the Potato Pipian and Mushroom Mole tacos. They are both righteously delicious. I get them every time. Oh, and the guacamole doesn't disappoint either. If you're one of those people who prefer meat-based options, I'm guessing those are quite good as well, judging by how my wife devours them with a savage intensity. The atmosphere is casual and fun, the servers are super friendly, plenty of drink options, and you can do a little grocery shopping while you're there. What's not to love?

I've seen a few advertisements online for Taco Naco, so when I was looking for a nearby place to grab lunch with a friend, this place popped in my mind! I was very excited to order after looking over the menu. I decided to try the pork al pastor, cochinita pibil and carne asada chimichurri. The pork al pastor was just okay, as the meat was slightly dry. The cochinita pibil was definitely a standout with slow roasted pork that was perfectly tender and beautiful chipotle aioli on top! I definitely considered ordering another one, but I simply had no more space after three tacos and the amazing chips and guacamole! This section is to highlight the guacamole because it was just that good! What do the people say? Holy Guacamole! It is hands down the best guac I've had in the metro area! There is a market inside of the restaurant and I saw multiple people come in just to purchase it! I had a great experience overall! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean!

We celebrated my best friends birthday tonight at Taco Naco and i absolutely loved it! Food: It was so yummy, i topped it with the habanero salsa and it was the perfect touch of spice! (it is spicy, but they have a chart with all their salsas and their spice level to give you a visual of how spicy they are! On top of that the SERVICE OMG - fernanda was going around the restaurant making sure everyone was doing well, brought us extra sauces and made sure my friends birthday was so special! Overall I loved the food, the ambiance, and the service! I will definitely be visiting again!

The atmosphere was very good. The workers were very nice and welcoming, and the food was delicious. Best part overall.

My breakfast was yummy

Absolutely amazing! Their chilaquiles were just the right amount of spice and served with egg and avocado and creama. Would 100% recommend

Chicken el pastor tostada's, queso & chips and the Luckys burrito!
Alisse A.

If you're looking for some good tacos and burritos in town, I would try Taco Naco. This place delivers on flavor, freshness, and quality. The burritos are packed with delicious, well-seasoned fillings, wrapped in a fresh tortilla. The carne asada in the tacos are tender and pair well with the pico. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I do wish they had a station for salsas and extra taco additives. But they do give you plenty for each taco. I also really like the grocery store aspect of the restaurant as you can shop for sauces and other authentic goods!

This might be the most authentic Mexican restaurant I've been to. It has just as hot inside as it was outside.

I was in the area and stumbled upon this cute little spot. It happened to be open so I went inside…read more I loved all the plants and the decor. The space is smallish but they do have bar seating in addition to seating throughout. The service was friendly and the drinks were great. They don't offer food, but they do offer cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails. I went on a Sunday and they have a special menu called "Almost Monday." It's a smaller, simpler cocktail menu and the prices are very fair compared to other cocktail spots. I tried the Caipirinha (pineapple) and the Negroni sour. Both were good. My favorite between the two was the Negroni. It had a pretty color and wasn't too sour or strong. I'd def recommend it and get it again. Definitely stop in and check out this cute spot in Shawnee.

Stopped by Wild Child after a nice dinner out in Kansas City. We were just looking for a nearby…read morebar, but wow did this surprise us. When you arrive there is parallel parking available outside the bar. When you walk in you'll feel like your bright, vibrant, and feels incredibly welcoming. Also, they have some really fun drinks as well that have been thoughtfully put together. We ended up sitting at the bar and I started with the Reformed Porn Star (vanilla vodka, bronson's tropical milk punch, passion fruit, Prosecco, citric acid and popping boba) which was by far my favorite drink and felt like I could have drank a couple more of these. Second I tried the Neo Cosmo (white rum, strawberry, cacao, coconut, rose hip, lime, bubble) which was good and was a fun drink with an ice cream shaped cup and a bubble on the top (meant to look like an ice cream cone). If you are in the area, this bar is a must try, the bartenders were awesome and took good care of us. Between the creative cocktails, fun atmosphere, unique floral setting, this was a memorable experience I'd definitely return for.

I stopped in early on a Friday and it was clear they had just received several shipments of wine…read moreand were working to put them away. There were boxes of wine everywhere and that bothered me. It really threw off the vibe. I was seated right away, and my waiter, Chris, was friendly. He walked me through their extensive menu of wines and even recommended a few. I decided to try a sweet wine flight, and he tried to warn me that it was very sweet, but I didn't listen. The flight was super sweet. There wasn't a single one that I enjoyed. Chris did recommend another wine, Fragolino, and I loved it. I could've drank it all day. I wanted a bottle of it to go, but sadly, they were out. Hopefully, when I return, it will be in stock. Next visit, I'll go with something not so sweet.

My fiancé and I stopped in really quick just to check it out. It's such a cute and classy place!…read moreIt's not very big so if you go at a busy time( like a Friday night like we did), don't be surprised if it's packed. Our server was super chill and helpful at suggesting wines. We got 2 reds that were a little on the sweeter side which was great because I want to get more into reds but they're usually too dry or too sweet and these were perfect. We didn't get any food since we were heading to eat afterwards. But the menu looked like it was pretty decent. We'll definitely have to come back to try it. I really enjoyed that the owner was there and working. The extra care for the company shows in how well it's kept! Overall, I definitely suggest you check it out. Super cute for a quick date night like we did, a girls night or just to check it out.
