    Shrimp taco
    DJuan L.

    I drove past Tequileros on my way to pick up food. Looked like an authentic Mexican restaurant so I decided to stop on my way back through. Some of the authentic Mexican restaurants that I've visited don't offer seafood, so I was excited to see that they had both fish and shrimp tacos on the menu. I ordered a fish taco, shrimp taco and cheese dip. After getting home, I realized that the shrimp were undercooked. I felt that I'd get sick if I ate the entire shrimp taco, so I only took a bite out of it. The fish taco was better. The fish didn't have much flavor, but the condiments inside the taco were pretty good. The cheese dip was flavorless and runny even after letting it sit. I think this was my 1st time ever throwing away cheese dip, so you know it had to have been bad If the shrimp hadn't been undercooked, I think the shrimp tacos would've been a homerun because the sauce that they used in the taco was delicious. They probably have other dishes that are good, but for my personal experience I was a bit disappointed.

    Great salsa!

    Priced right and good salsa! This family friendly hole in the wall, is an Independence treasure. Our food was served fast and hot. Authentic entrées and courteous service has earned our business whenever we are in the area.

    I ordered a steak fajita. It came w a side of beans, rice, pico, sour cream and guacamole. I wish I got it before I ate, but it was so good.

    Great little hole in the wall. We came to KC for a volleyball tournament. We live in Vegas and have great Mexican food, so after our games we were wanting something other than bbq. This little gem is in independence. Worth the drive! I got the steak Fajitas and it came w a side of rice, beans, pico, sour cream, guacamole. My husband and daughter got the steak burrito w side of rice beans and sour cream. They loved it. Orders came out in a timely manner & nice and hot! It seems like it's run by a family. Great little family place. When we come back to KC again we'll definitely come back!

    Very impressed does not do it justice. From the welcoming greeting as we walked in to the chips and salsa (not salted - perfect for those of us with high blood pressure!) - my asada chimichanga was perfect. Good quality steak, cooked perfectly. My spouse had the steak platter and the steak again was top quality. We ended with flan. Perfect for my taste. Not overly sweet. Now the extras that nobody else notices: a disabled couple came in and was seated at a table near the front of the restaurant. So many tones we eat out and see a hostess put disabled people in the back of a restaurant. When they left, the manager opened the emergency exit so they could have a closer exit to the parking lot. I appreciate people caring for elderly and disabled people.

It is very large, and she liked it. I ordered the half size quesadilla with chicken. Both dishes were served with shredded chicken. I'm not sure if grilled chicken was an option or possibly available at a higher price. But, the only thing I would recommend is more flavor/seasoning in the shredded chicken. Our table did not have silverware, but we just grabbed it off another table. And, the waiter brought extra napkins without us having to ask. Music was playing in the restaurant, but we were also seated near an employee on break who was blasting music and not using headphones. It was hard for us to enjoy our dining experience listening to two different songs at the same time for 15 minutes. But, this can easily be corrected by having employees use headphones or not play loud music during their break.

We also ordered a side of chips and salsa. The taco salad had very fresh ingredients mixed in the crispy taco bowl/shell. The pick up time was incredibly quick and the food was ready to grab and go when we got there. Although we got the food to go, the service was friendly when we ordered and paid. There was plenty of seating and the restaurant looking very clean!

The decor is a total throwback to Nickelodeon's show Guts from the 90s. Even if it isn't intentional, I retro-loved it. The salsa is smoky and a little spicy and pairs perfectly with their thin crispy chips. I've been to MANY Mexican restaurants in my lifetime, and this is probably the best salsa of this style I've ever had. For my entree, I tried something I've never even heard of. Carne en su Jugo is steak with beans in tomatillo based soup. Honestly I was shocked. It was delicious, spicy, full of flavor and so simple but extremely well done. With this chilly weather, it warmed me up in the best of ways. I could only finish half of it and I am so excited to finish it for lunch tomorrow. Unfortunately, the tortillas are not made in house. I would love to see more restaurants doing this. Our waitress was attentive and kind, bringing beverages and checking on us with appropriate frequency. We will be back, and frequently!

The exterior is unique because it looks like a Mayan structure, and the interior is super fun/themed and feels clean. We really enjoyed their thin, crispy tortilla chips, as well as their salsa (safe for those who don't like onions or cilantro because it's all pretty homogenous and mild), hot salsa, and queso. The queso was plain, without any pico de gallo mixed in, which I liked because (again) I don't like onions or cilantro. The chicken chimichanga was good-- not too big (smaller than what you may find at other places), and the chicken was really flavorful. The side of lettuce was served in a taco salad-style cup, which was cool. To add a side of rice and beans was optional, which I haven't found elsewhere, but I liked that because I could save a couple dollars if needed. Overall, I'd definitely go back! Service was great too, and parking was ample!
