exactly, amazing how someone can screw it up so badly.  i bet most mexican restaurant operators just get really lazy.   

[Dirty Sanchez]

Yep.

And the faster a joint gets their food out, the less chips and salsa is used.

beans, cheese - both cheap

[Dirty Sanchez]

Beans are cheap.  Cheese is not.  Have you looked at the price of it at the store lately?  Its like $7 for a block of mediocre sharp cheddar.

[pwrcat1]

La Fiesta is the best.

Yeah, if you're already completely sh*tfaced, or don't have taste buds.

Bolos, ftw!

[cireksu]

I always hated El Caz but knew tons of peeps that loved it, WTF. 

In KC/Joco mi ranchito is my fave, not all that authentic although there is some, the old one in Olathe many of the wait staff doesn't even really speak english.  Espinaca grilled chicken enchiladas are fab.

seriously change the filter back, this is getting out of control!

1.  Pfffffffffffft. 

2.  Lots and lots of LIQ in this thread.  You guys don't know REAL mexican food.  You probably think that you can handle really hot hot sauce, too, but you don't know what REAL really hot hot sauce is either.

3.  Taco Bell is as good as any of those fake Mexican places that have been mentioned.  Try some REAL Mexican food (see #1 and then #2).

4.  The Booyah guy can't help.  He's broke as a joke, essay.

[chum1]

If anyone wants to start a thread about some REAL Mexican food, that would be cool.  I've seen enough about this fake Mexican food.  Time to shut it down, amigos.

[steve dave]

amigos

Not bad imo

[frankencat]

The best mexican food ever in Manhattan, La Casa de las Vera.

Homemade food

[cireksu]

personally I'm not a big fan of real mexican food. 

[doom]

Never go to Omaha if you like Mexican food.  I miss El Caz and La Fiesta.

You are a retard.  We have suprisingly good and authentic (whichever you like).  Have you been to Hector's?  Roja?  Nette's?

mexican food in kc sux too d00dz

If you don't mind a trip to the 'burbs Mi Ranchito is very solid. Jalapenos is ok if you order the Jalapeno Dip Burrito.

Most overrated? The Salty Iguana. Just horribly mediocre.

[PCR]

Hmm my parents love Salty Iguana, but mexican options in Leawood have really gone downhill since Taco Via went out of business. 

El Caz was an absolute staple.  Number 2 going in and going out, please!

Leawood has Cactus Grill, that chit's good. - more texmex but whatever.

where's mi ranchito

[greasd up deaf guy]

Mi Ranchito has a few locations I'm told, but the one I'm familiar with is 119th and a bit west of Pflumm in Olathe.

[steve dave]

Pflumm

PFFSSSTTTT Give Me A Pflucking Break with that street name 

[greasd up deaf guy]

Pflumm

If street names were the #1 reason JOCO sucked, that'd be incredible.

[ArchE_Cat]

I just had Salsaritas in the k-State Union...meh. I could make anything they have at home. Similiar in price to Chipotle, which is much better. Manhattan needs a Taco Bueno....muchachos are awesome.

[premierkc]

KC has great Mexican food. Just get outta JOCO and head down Southwest Trafficway and pick one. Stay out of Ponak's it's the white people mecca for mexican. Try either Taqueria Mexico, or literally EVERY restaurant that says OPEN. They are all good. The salty iquana is like sit down taco bell. Dos Reales is ok, but the good stuff is on Southwest Trafficway from rainbow past I-35. Decent BBQ also. I highly recommend this route before heading to the P&L District for a night.

It's Southwest Boulevard, not Trafficway, and they all pretty much blow.  TM is pretty good, but the rest of them are glorified crap.

There's a ranchito on 95th and I 35, just west of the highway and the north side of 95th street.
