Taco, Burrito,  Nacho x3
Mike S.

These are the best fast-food tacos, hands-down. We've been eating here for years and always make an opportunity to stop by Taco Via when we are in town. I could drink their taco sauce by the gallon. Now they sell it in bottles.

Nacho
Tracy S.

This is the Taco Via you expect. I love their sauce. If you enjoy smooth sauce, you'll like it. If you are wanting something like a picante, this is not that. I love the nacho (tostada, sauce, cheddar cheese, with or without jalapeños), but I do wish the jalapeños were whole. These are chopped. Can't help it, I like what I like. I love the enchiladas. I get one beef, one cheese, and eat a little bite of both at the same time. They seem very understaffed, like most restaurants these days. I stood at the counter as I saw my food ready (it took awhile because they were very busy). I was very, very tempted to take 4 steps and grab it from the back counter so that I could eat it while it was hot. But I didn't because they are doing the best that they can. Let's all have patience and extend grace to those who may need it. I couldn't work there and I'm thankful for those who do.

Nacho with peppers
Lesleigh P.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, my order has never changed! It's a great nostalgic place for some tacos or a snack. I always get a taco, a nacho with peppers, two containers of sauce, and a soda with pebble ice.

Taco Via Special -Sancho, Nacho and a crunchy taco and a drink. Extra taco ala carte.

Taco Via is one of those local spots that most native Kansas Citians grew up eating and a lot of us will make special trips there when the cravings hit us. As soon as the sauce hits our tongues, we enter a rapturous state when eating. Having said that, non-Kansas Citians may think "What the heck?" when eating there for the first time. I liken it to people not from Cincinnati eating that nasty Skyline Chili on spaghetti and wondering how in the world it became famous. Every city has places the locals love and most others wonder if they're high. Taco Via uses a spice on their meat that's unlike other fast food taco joints and the taco sauce is like crack to us. Luckily for newbies, there are tons of choices for food and you should be able to find something good to eat when your significant other drags you there for a sancho!

NACHO!!!!!  Yummm and the sauce is awesome
Sunny S.

YUM!!!! I must try everything on this menu!!! Reminds me of Taco Casa back home in TX!!

Taco  Sancho  Chips and Sauce
Colleen L.

I've always snubbed my nose at Taco Via but this weekend I attended a birthday party that had rented out their food truck. So I gave it a whirl. It was good. Nothing fancy. Like an upscale Taco Bell. The tacos were good. Just meat, cheese, lettuce, and some taco sauce. They were good sized. I also got a sancho which was basically a soft shell taco. I had one bite of it at the party but then saved it for later when I'd get hungry again. I ate the remainder when I was too drunk to really give a review but at the time it was We also got chips and cheese and that's exactly what it was. In all, I will no longer snub my nose at Taco Via. It's a great drunk food option.

Cheese enchiladas
DJuan L.

I've seen people talk about this place a lot lately and decided to try it out. Based on thr menu and pictures, I knew it wouldn't be the traditional Mexican restaurant experience nor would it be authentic Mexican...but I still wanted to give it a try. I decided to go with the cheese enchiladas and the popular nacho. The nacho is basically a tostada w/ cheese, taco sauce and peppers and that's exactly what it tasted like. Nothing special about the shell, cheese or peppers and the taco sauce was a miss for me. I saw somewhere that the taco sauce was award-winning, but it wasn't very good to me. I even got a cup to try it on its on and didn't care much for it. The cheese enchiladas actually weren't bad. The order came with 2 enchiladas and was around $5. The sauce that came with them was okay but nothing to write home about. I was on my way out the door when I decided to turn around and try the nacho cheese. I ordered the cheese and chips to-go, which also came with a cup of taco sauce. I'm used to chips coming in a paper bag, but these came in a small styrofoam bowl covered with plastic wrap. The cheese was a dark orange color rather than the bright yellow color I was expecting. I'm not sure what all was mixed in with the cheese, but it wasn't very good. It reminded me of a vegan cheese dip that I tried once. I think this is one of those places that people love because of the nostalgia more than the food. This is probably as Americanized as Mexican food can get. I think the food is just okay, but if you're looking for Mexican, food I don't think this is the place to go.

Dave's Hot Chicken

Dave's Hot Chicken

Okay - so I've seen this place and thought to myself - another chicken place. I figured it's just…read moreanother place that covers the chicken in a sauce- but I was pleasantly surprised. Keven greeted me and walked me through their spice levels - so on the side of using good judgement I went for a medium 2 strip dinner. Made fresh to order it took about 8 minutes to get my order but it was a lovely change from the slightly warm chicken generally found at a fast food restaurant. These chicken strips were huge! And they've been crusted with the flavor - not drenched in sauce. The chicken was moist and delicious as were the seasoned fries. This will become a go to spot for chicken - winning out over any of the more well known places for me!

I dined at Dave's Hot Chicken today and the experience was decent overall. My favorite part of the…read moreexperience is the decor because it's fun, loud and very colorful and makes the space feel energetic as soon as you enter - especially being greeted by Dave the chicken swirling along side a tornado lol saying "there is no place like Dave's!" Overall, it gives the restaurant a modern street style feel with the bold colors and graffiti around. We bought 2 - one tender and one slider combos $14 each along with buffalo style Mac and cheese with three small chicken pieces $7 and the final bill including tip was $42. The tenders were packed with flavor - crispy and juicy chicken. It was perfectly fried and had the right amount of medium level spice on it. However the buffalo style Mac and cheese was cold and underwhelming - three pieces of chicken with hardly any actual Mac and cheese and fries - it was not what I expected. I definitely expected more Mac and cheese haha. Another downside for me was the pricing of the combos/food- it was high because if you look at the combo it's just two tenders with some bread and sauce. Portion wise it didn't really match the pricing for more of a fast food restaurant setup. The restaurant was clean otherwise and the service was decent - nothing amazing as such. Overall, good fast food with high pricing for what you get.

Chick In Waffle - Garlic Parmesan Bun Combo (Drink Included but Not Shown)

Wings: The garlic parm was the standout -- fresh, flavorful, and honestly better than my usual Buffalo Wild Wings order. The tikka masala didn't really taste like tikka masala (more like a standard BWW flavor), but it was still tasty. The only drawback was the size of the wings -- smaller than I expected. Next time I'll probably go for the 16 or 20 piece. Waffle: I picked the Belgian waffle with maple syrup dip. It came hot but not crispy, with just a dusting of powdered sugar. Still sweet and enjoyable, though next time I want to try the bubble waffle for something different. Fries: Got the seasoned fries on the side -- good flavor and seasoning, though like the waffle, they weren't super crisp. Still tasty on their own, but I would've loved an option to pick dips (ranch, queso, garlic parm, etc.) instead of just being handed four maple syrups. Extras & Drinks: They also offer mac & cheese or the bubble waffle as side options, plus unique teas and lemonades for $1 more, or milkshakes for $4.50. Prices on extra dips are $0.99 each. Overall, it's a fun and unique concept -- fair-style food in a neighborhood spot. The food is flavorful, not always the crispiest or warmest on carryout, but easily fixed with a microwave or air fryer. I'll definitely be back, especially to try the bubble waffle and maybe some loaded fries or wraps/buns during happy hour (2-4 PM).
