    This place is an absolute vibe! Customer service? On point! The management team seems to be working their magic because the food and service are spot on! Yay! Love this place

    I wasn't going to make a post since I go here often. But today they offered Sushi Tacos, I have had fish tacos all over the states and several countries, these are probably the Best fish tacos I have ever had!!! The crunch from the deep fry over the seaweed wrap, the softness of the salmon and with a perfect crust. The sauce and the vegetables to also help lighten it up. This was a perfectly thought out and excited dish!!! My only regret is I only bought two!!

    KC burrito with chicken and rice
    Dawn C.

    Fun spot! Loved the indoor vibe and the outdoor seating to take advantage of nice weather. I chose the KC burrito with carnitas and fries. Husband chose the KC burrito with chicken and rice. Nice serving size, very fresh and we loved the medium spicy green salsa. The staff was attentive and friendly and made our visit relaxing and fun.

    Fun place. First time here. I had street tacos and a Paloma. Food is really good and a great price. We sat at the bar. The server was really awesome. Great music playing over head. They're was outside seating as well.

    Crunchy Chorizo deep fried taco

    What a wonderful experience this joint is! Located in rejuvenated Downtown OP, it is setup like a diner with a bar running down the side. You order in the back right corner, menus are sitting on the counter. We were greeted and had a lot of questions that were answered throughly and honestly. I want to try EVERYTHING on this menu, and that is very rare for me! I chose Crunch tacos, steak and chorizo and a Birria taco. Also the Carnitas street tacos and some chips and queso. The chorizo and ribeye steak were equally amazing! Honestly may be the best chorizo I have had outside of Mexico. Carnitas great as well, my fiancee crushed them. Queso and chips were good, we will definitely be back to try more, thanks! The food was all freshly made and we ate it so fast my pictures reflect it :)

    If you haven't been to Tiki Taco, you're seriously missing out. With a new location in OP everyone in Johnson County should be running to this place. Their fish and vegetarian options are insanely good -- like, "where-have-you-been-all-my-life" good. The shrimp tacos in several different varieties are a must -- perfectly cooked, seasoned just right, and paired with fresh toppings that make each bite a dream. For the vegetarians (or anyone, honestly), the Impossible meat tacos and burritos are next level. Full of flavor, super satisfying, and you genuinely forget you're not eating traditional meat. On top of the amazing food, the vibe is unbeatable. The staff are warm, welcoming, and full of life -- they make the whole experience feel special. Go hungry, leave happy. You'll be dreaming about this place after your first bite!

    Ceviche tostada, Thai Fried Chicken taco. Thai Chili Pork burrito.
    Russ G.

    Very nice place with seating options of inside tables, bar and outside tables. We sat at the bar for drinks and food. The bartender was friendly helpful in making selections. I chose three different items to sample, the Ceviche tostada, Thai Fried Chicken taco, and a Thai Chili Pork burrito. Of the three, I liked the burrito the least, it had too much rice which overpowered the pork. All in all a great place for tacos that are beyond the usual taco experience.

    I met a friend for a retirement celebration today. She was using a coupon that the business had donated to the local elementary school. She got a burrito, I ordered three tacos. What struck me about the restaurant was the cleanliness and the fact that the owner was in the kitchen with the staff. My food was delicious and marked GF on the menu. There's a great selection of food and drinks. It's not a spot you're likely to drive by, but once you go- you'll go back!

    This is located in a really nice neighborhood of overland Park downtown area, but you need to be careful with the parking because it's limited parking spots there. I wonder why I never had a chance to go to this place before because literally this place looks like an old school diner experience and it looks really really cool. We obviously ordered a lot of food there along with the tacos that we got some of the must try that I felt was grilled chicken quesadillas. The grilled chicken was amazing and that and the Baja fish tacos are super good. We tried a bunch of different salsa all the way from mind to super hot loved the experience. The staff is super friendly and the service is outstanding because they were always checking on us since it was the first time that we visited our place. They gave us a good tour of the menu and suggested what we should get next time when we come there so love the service and the energy of the people there definitely gonna visit this place again

    Chicken QUESADILLA and GRILLED SHRIMP TACO
    Candice S.

    Wow! This place is delicious. I tried another location once through a Yelp! Event and was really excited to try the one closer to home. This place did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. I wish they had more beer options on draft, but that's not super important. The food is delicious on his own.

    CHEESECAKE CHIMI
    Kelli H.

    This is a popular venue in a Friday evening and it's no doubt because of the delicious food. I've been before and had a burrito. Now I've tried some tacos and can say I like the burritos more solely because you can get curly fries inside the burrito. The tacos are good, but I highly recommend the cheesecake chimi. That's my favorite thing I've eaten there to date.

    Natalie S.

    Super fun inside! It has a diner vibe. I noticed it is kid friendly and has coloring sheets for the kiddos. Staff were super friendly- which you don't always get at Yelp things haha. They have cool merch as well- the checkered pink hat I like. They also have a bar so it's great for everyone.

    Tiki Taco was the bomb
    Renee L.

    It was an awesome experience. The food was really good. I got 3 tacos and a burrito. Ice tacos that taste like churro cinnamon goodness. I took pictures but my review got lost I will go back and eat there. Michael is great helps with ordering and listening to small critique it's tacos and burritos so they can't mess up to bad

It gave an option for dining with a group of people or simply dining alone. We arrived around 1pm on a week day, so just after the lunch rush which was perfect. The food was made fresh, I've always wanted to try the barria taco but no one seems to offer anything but a beef option. And finally, I found a chicken one. It was Delish !! Now I couldn't dip in the au just because it was beef but I appreciate having the option. The Mexican rice was light and flavorful. The queso was good however it stiffened up pretty quickly, just in case you feel the anxiety of choosing between. Your appetizer and the main costs course. Over all, a great experience for a late afternoon lunch. Check out it when your craving tacos, I don't think you'll be disappointment.

I wish I would've had more time to look around the market because it looked like they had a lot of good stuff but I'll have to go back and see. They do have tables inside that you can eat at. The food was done at the quoted time and was accurate. The one individual I encountered was friendly. The menu was very straightforward-tacos, burritos, and a few other items, all can be customized. I had to get an order of chips and queso. I really liked their queso. It had good flavor and wasn't overly spicy. The chips were fresh and held up to the queso nicely. I'm definitely probably alway going to order this when I go. I also tried a taco with carne asada. The tacos are the street variety but they are really good sized. They don't skimp on the meat. And the carne asada was really good. No gristle or gross bits. It was chopped finely and I'd definitely order it again. I also had to try a burrito. I tried the El pastor for that and added on all the toppings-cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I also opted for extra meat because it was super cheap-like $1, so why not? Again, I was not disappointed. I did throw my burrito on the good 'ol George Foreman when I got home because they don't grill it at all and I wanted some grill marks on that tortilla. Otherwise, the el pastor was flavorful and tender and the toppings were all fresh. Per usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach so I saved half of my burrito, but it was a welcome leftover meal the following day. Definitely check them out if you're on the boulevard and want some tasty, Mexican grub.

It's definitely not close, a little bit of a drive (almost half an hour) but, it's so worth it! I've now visited three times and every time is almost better than the last. There are so many options for tacos here as well as combo meals, loaded fries, salads and other sharables. Truly, something on the menu for everyone. Also, the mission statement of this restaurant makes it even better than the savory, sensational food alone. They give back meals to the hungry with an emphasis on philanthropy. The employees inside the bright and cheery dining room are always so helpful, they really seem to love what they're doing and the work environment embodies the mission statement of the restaurant. I can tell the people working there take pride in what they do. Where do I start on the food...I've tried quite a few tacos on the menu and a lot of them are standouts. There are of course classic renditions of Tex-Mex tacos as well as new inventions, like a crab cake taco. I also have tried the steak and blue taco which wasn't my all time favorite but definitely had flavors that all worked together. Just to me the steak was a little chewy and tough but, I loved the additions of bacon and crumbled blue cheese, it was so hearty and creamy from the ranch sauce with a tad of heat from some jalapeño. The seafood tacos really shine for me and my palette, I really loved the snappy firecracker fried shrimp taco. This is definitely for the spicy sisters (and brothers) because it has an Asian inspired bang bang sauce as well as a peppery punchy sriracha sauce. Such a winner! Another winner in my opinion is the blackened mahi mahi taco with a creamy slaw and yum yum sauce which is just YUM! It's fresh and flavorful. The Korean steak taco has an interesting added crunch from a topping of fried wonton strips and an umami glaze on the steak. I prefer it to the steak and blue even though it's simpler in the number of ingredients. Who doesn't like a taco with fried pickles on top?! If you are with me and you are a pickle princess (or prince) and aren't afraid of a little spice then the buffalo chicken taco is for you. Another spicy option is the mango habanero grilled chicken taco, it may be the spiciest on the menu but the flavors pack a punch. The crispy cabbage and the creamy avocado cool down the mango habanero salsa and the crumbled salty cojita cheese topping is the most perfect finishing touch. Also, just a note, these are no small street tacos so, even though at first the price may seem shocking they are definitely filling. I barely finish three each time I dine and I leave very full and satisfied. Another favorite of mine has been the refried black beans that come with a Chipotle component that makes them unique. The guacamole is also fresh and limey, so good with a thin crispy salty chip dunked in. The queso isn't anything too special but who doesn't like ooey gooey melty cheese?
