El Taquito

Where to start! This place is gorgeous inside, very clean, staff was attentive and charming, our lovely server Gloria welcomed us warmly, was on the ball with our service, and so kind to us, even took the time to tell my husband and I the history of the restaurant. The place is family run, and makes everything fresh every day, right down to their own tortillas. Everything was delicious, including the salsa. Beautiful quiet friendly atmosphere, shockingly affordable for 2024 and for the amount you're served! Amazing authentic food. This place has a lot of character, we will definitely be back!

Always my favorite spot when craving some authentic Mexican food. Their menudo is supreme. Their fried tacos are the best in the city and exactly like my abuela used to make them. Something feels like home when you’re here. Be nice to the service and they’re treat you like family Food: 5/5

Was in for a company team lunch: filled up closer to noon. Seems to be locally popular. Menu was compact but had all the essentials and they were tasty Chips are fried in-house. For those particular to salsa: 'Spicy' salsa was relatively spicy however very liquid when it comes to consistency. Friendly and receptive staff. Parking: About ten spaces reserved for the restaurant are available behind the restaurant.

I've wanted to try La Fonda El Taquito for quite some time, should've tried them long ago. What a wonderful local KC gem! Family owned charm and the aroma of authentic homestyle recipes greet you immediately when entering the door of this charming Cantina style restaurant. From fresh fried chips and homemade salsa as well as guacamole, to the pork chili, fried tacos, al pastor street tacos, cheese and onion enchiladas, chorizo and eggs...it was all outstanding. Each of the above mentioned dishes are outstanding in their own ways, among the best in KC for our tastes. Super friendly service and wondeful owners as well as reasonably priced make La Fonda El Taquito a new family favorite.

Our server ruined the experience, she cared more about standing in the front talking to her coworkers then serving my family of small children. 25 minutes to get a drink after ordering it is kind of long. After our server mixed up our orders and did not bring us the special, the manager said we should of known better. Make sure to explain in detail a simple order so that you don't get over charged.

Tried this spot yesterday for lunch and it was pretty good. I ordered the fried taco platter and my friend had the same with some chili on the side. It was pretty darn tasty. Nice quiet place with some delicious food. They aren't able to serve alcohol at the moment but I had a strawberry fanta, it was sooo good. I will for sure be back!

The food is AMAZING & the owners are so sweet! We live in Arkansas & this is a must for us when we visit KC! Do yourself a favor & check them out!!Food: 5/5

Best fried tacos in KC. Make sure to visit on the weekends for the menudo before they run out. Extremely friendly and responsive staff! We go almost every weekend we can!Food: 5/5

Losing a star because I'd like to see combo meals for a sit down mexican restaurant. Overall the food was really good and had tons of flavorFood: 5/5

Something is different about this place today. My friends and I have been coming here for years. I'm never going back. I am very disappointed by the service or lack thereof to be accurate at my most recent visit. We did not get what we ordered. The popular fried chicken taco was not what I have been served several times in the past. The server was no help. I have seen her there over the years but do not know her name. She barley took my order and never checked back with us at any point in the 2 hours we were there. She even cut me off a couple times when trying to order and ask a question about my food. Just walked away in mid sentence even. This was one of the most disrespectful and worse service I've ever had. I got my own to go box's which I don't mind usually and never got my bill. After waiting for a considerable amount of time I decided to leave cash on the table and go. I think we waited there for 30 minutes or longer just for the check. I used to rave about this place. Just sad. Again, never going back.
