Topeka is getting a new "AUTHENTIC" Mexican place, right next to On The Border. It's name? "Jose Peppers"!!

Did you know that Jose Peppers was opened up originally by Jose's dad who was a doctor? Dr. Pepper.

Haven't been to this place yet, but it sounds pretty great.

I need to make it down there before it closes ... like Relish did before I got to try a hot dog there.   :cry:

Lawrence place is Tortas Jalisco.  Near 6th and Kasold where I believe Roadside Tacos used to be.  Tacos were like 5 for $5 or $7 or something like that.

Jose Peppers right by my house.  Used to be Cactus Grill (same thing, diff name).  Pollo magnifico =  :lick:.  $ .99 espinaca every day.   :lick:

I think the Salsa Grill in Mission has these type of tacos for their steak tacos, but the other meats are Taco Bell style.

Almost forgot!  One of my favorite blogs just did an item on a Mexican place in Shawnee:  La Chihuahua.  Looks like they've got the tacos in question:  http://www.kclunchspots.com/2010/03/la-chihuahua-7769-quivira-rd.html

Across from the westport beach club place that is next to Beaumont.  I think it is called "cancun"

has excellent street tacos.  Wife and I have eaten there probably 30 times.  They let you take unlimited containers of 3 kinds of salsa.

Cancun Fiesta Fresh.

Ate lunch there today.  The "Street Tacos" were amazing.  Also, they make this sandwich thingy called a Torta, but different than other Torta's I've had.  It's on a puffy roll...very good as well.

Thinking now I might not want this food, the couple of reviews I read weren't so positive.

did they use the word "ensconced", "rustic", or "swell"?

the only tacos they have are deep fat fried crunchy ones, like Margaritas sells.  i realized this after finding the menu online and backed out, made tacos at home.  i'm sure i'll eat there soon.

While obviously being known for his prowess in the kitchen, Clams is also somewhat of a KC restaurant savant.

Clams, et. al., have you found any place in KC that serves Mexican "Street" style tacos?

Such as this...



This dude has an entire blog dedicated to the Taco....amazing work. http://mytacoblog.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Do we have such wonderful items in KC?


.02 paper plates?  :nono:

I found these, attributed to El Camino Real.  http://kansascitybites.com/2010/02/01/el-camino-real/



However, a have never been there.  Anyone confirm the quality?
just got back from el comino real.  the pastor is really good.  carne asada was dry.  beans= greatness.  carnitas very good.
