| Comments: | THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE KC AREA! I can't say how many times I just drove by this place because it looked so small and there were so many cars. Then I put 2 + 2 together. They make their own everything here from tamales to enchilada sauce. Fantastic! If you have any idea what authentic mexican food is, you HAVE to try this place. Fantastic! |

| Comments: | This little "hole in the wall" has the best Mexican food around. I'm from San Diego and have eaten at many mexican restaurants. This is by far the best food around. Eating on styrofoam plates and with plastic forks is worth it!! |
