Per Yelp, the best burrito in Ks is not on Kansas Avenue, it's in Overland Park.

Kansas (Overland Park): La Fuente Mexican Street Food

I've gotten tacos there once and they were pretty average. Taco Nacho down the street in downtown OP is better IMO.

It's best burrito, not taco.

Go to Poio. It’s on 7th st and Osage, I think. Get the #5 and the cabbage slaw as the side. Use the slaw as part of the taco. Use the cucumber and carrot relish as part of the taco. Add the green sauce they give you in the little packet thing.

Most balanced and delicious pork taco you will have. I have no doubts.

It’s rough ridin' amazing.

Agreed, very good. I also like El Fagon, which is just a couple miles south of there at 105th and Metcalf.

Clams/Kansas Citians- if I have someone bring me epr on a Friday and want to warm it up for people to eat on a Saturday afternoon….how do I do that? Wrap in foil with a bit of water and warm up in oven?????

I usually eat it cold if I have leftovers but since that’s not an option, probably your way or throw it back on the gas grill for a couple minutes

ChiComCat · « **Reply #461 on:** August 18, 2022, 09:01:04 AM »

I think the grill will give the skin a better texture for the leftovers. I had leftovers yesterday and opening the container to the smoke smell was very pleasant.

Sous Vide then oven/grill

was finally able to knock out bruncho at Jarocho. one of the better dining experiences in kansas city. $31 all you can eat small plates. the paella, ceviche, and empanadas were the highlights for me.

Haven’t been for brunch but go there fairly often. Always good

Went to Ninfa's for some Mex-breakfast today and was pretty disappointed. Pretty bland stuff. Great 'tillas though.

Mexican places are notoriously chincy with the salt. Chile and lime is their seasoning

It wasn't that. The place just didn't have the soul in the food I was looking for. It was pretty pud and I had heard a lot of good stuff about it. Heck they didn't even bring limes until asked. Looked it maybe it used to be a good place that got popular with the tortillas and now that's really their focus getting them out the door in bulk.

Take away their tortilla and Ninfa's sucks. Even with their tortilla, it's just meh.

Pete · « **Reply #469 on:** March 25, 2024, 01:10:19 PM »

Ninfa's is for honkeys

I didn't want to say it but they were blaring 98.9 and felt like only a bunch of white people in there working. I was led astray.

Just stick to San Antonio, Rey’s and bonito Michoacán
