This is my favorite Mexican restaurant hands down! A large amazing menu for omini diners and a two page vegan menu as well. Authentic old world flavors and the kindest, friendliest staff that has made great suggestions and broadened my favorites. Very causal dining atmosphere and limited seating. Taco Tuesdays are a must!

You might miss this place driving by, but it’s definitely worth the trip. Amazing service and a huge selection of both regular and vegan items. The birria ramen was outstanding.

The soy asada enchiladas were delicious, and served with a good helping of beans and rice. The red sauce was subtle among the cheese and the toppings, but still tasty. The Tlacoyo was also delicious... The SO ordered it with the mushroom "Vegan Pork Rind" on top to try it, which was nicely cooked in a tasty sauce. The food was a little on the spicy side, but not too bad. The mild salsa was a solid medium+ heat with a pretty good kick. The hot salsa is very spicy, if you aren't accustomed to eating very spicy things it is probably on the hiccup inducing heat level. The food is delicious, a little on the fried street food side, less on the fresh raw guacamole and tomato side. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The new location is a "hole in the wall", appropriately named being in a building up on the corner on a wedge of land. We have tried their previous location and are excited to have a new one a little bit closer!

The tacos are exceptional. It’s also hard to beat $1.56 Taco Tuesday. They even had tacos for my friend with a 4 year old palate.

Decided to stop in for Taco Tuesday $1.56 street tacos. I tried chicken, while my husband tried pastor, steak and ground beef. They were all pretty good! We left with a steak chimichanga and a shrimp quesadilla. Tasty!

Came on their opening day! They have some of the best vegan food around. We normally go to the grandview location. So excited to have them in independence. Come support the kindest and tastiest food! They have a small amount of seating. We ordered the vegan soy asada pizza, tofu stick taco and 3 soy pastor tacos. Yum!
