Tacos El Matador

Love the al Pastor tacos! The meat is very tender. The salsa is great too. Lime game is weak, though so ask for extra if you like a lot of lime like me.

My friend said the fish taco was amazing. He's gotten it several times now.

Booth seats are all a little wonky but it just adds to the ambiance. Small place but definitely worth a try.

This is a place I can say I always come back to !! In Latina and this spot always feels like home. It’s a diamond in the rough and the staff is friendly! The food is amazing and a good portion. I’m actually on my way there right now as I’m writing this 🌯🫔😋

Excellent, authentic, and inexpensive tacos! Highly recommend. Definitely a hole in the wall type place but if you like authentic tacos then you know that's a good thing. Pastor were some of the best I've had and asada was very good also!

Best enchiladas I've had in KC. Ordered 3 with 2 crunchy tacos. Great little patio and super friendly staff/ owners. Small but really good selection of Mexican beer and a tiny 3 seat bar. Amazing sauce

Best Taco's de tripa in KANSAS CITY! I have been coming here since 2013 and it has been my go to for tacos when I'm in Kansas City Kansas.

No frills interior, the parking lot is a bit torn up, and so are the seat cushions. Absolutely awesome tacos! I keep coming back here. The people that work there are great. Everyone had a mask on.

Absolutely delicious food, generous plates, three salsas, friendly, joyful service. I want to go here again and again.

umm very delicious, appreciated that we had options with the salsas. would definitely visit again!
the food was super yummy and the waitress even offered to warm our chips up before she brought them out, so we had warm crunchy chips with our delicious queso dip. super excited to come back here!

We ordered to go. But food was delicious. We had never eaten there before. The girl that took our order was extremely helpful and patient. Will definitely be going back.

The food was delicious and authentic. Some of the best tacos de carnitas I've eaten outside oh México and they have Coke made with REAL SUGAR (like in México)!

Small authentic eatery with good food and salsa.

Awsome food. Great service.

I have been here several times. We got the al pastor tacos and pollo torta to go today. Great sauces and great service. Food is excellent!

Our go-to Mexican restaurant, for sit down or take out. A perfect little divey place with a broad menu, all well done. We mostly get tacos, quesadillas, and tortas but everything in the menu appears to be wonderful and they offer a complete variety of meats all the way to things like tripe that I have absolutely no interest in, but it's good to know that they do everything, don't just pander. Quick and always friendly service, even when we have a child throwing things or throwing up, or are indecisive or dumb about something.

Well seasoned authentic Mexican food and cheap at that!

Authentic food. Genuine owners. Lovely hidden gem in Merriam.

Loved the visit. The customer service is amazing. Great food and fast service. Can't wait for my next visit here

I accidentally discovered this place with a friend. We grabbed a few soft tacos for lunch, and we had to come back for dinner. The tacos are just that good. Service is very friendly. It looks like a family business, and the people are very nice. Yes, service can be a bit slow but everything is made right then, and it's fresh and delicious! The breakfast burritos are pretty great too.

Love this place. Very authentic food. Every time I'm in this part of town, I'm eating here.

Edited. Very disappointed the last time I went. My husband's order and mine were spiced incorrectly (he ordered hot and got mild, I ordered mild and got hot!) I can't handle the hot, but LOVE the mild. When we told the waitress, she proceeded to argue with me about the order and when she finally took our plates back to the back, we had to wait a bit. And then, when she finally brought the plates back, there was no beans or rice on our plates. She stated they had "run out". By then, our kids were done eating and getting bored. When she brought the the check, she charged us the full price. Had to argue with her about the quality of food and how their service had greatly declined. Once a family favorite, now a part of the past for us.

Great food, great service!! LOVE the barbacoa!!! The Giso de res is my absolute favorite!
