Andrew Gatrost: This was a better Mexican Restaurant before it sold out. I ordered the fajita nachos and they were not as expected and bland. It was only chips over cooked steak strips and queso.

candace middleton: Shrimp taco was different as it had tartar sauce on it. I ordered a fish taco which also has tartar sauce on it. It was different! Not bad. Not great.

Lori B: We both ordered the #3 (3 tacos) that used to be deep fried but they weren’t today! The food was awful. This place must have changed owners. The tacos were full of grease with the meat having zero flavor!! We will never come here again. They also don’t answer the phone when you call and you can’t leave a message bc the voicemail is full.

Sierra Walsh: The food is so delicious and the staff is very friendly!

Scott Richardson: Great little place for a quick bite! Everything is cooked to order so expect a few minutes to wait. They're deep fried tacos are excellent!! Comparable to Queen Taco but less expensive! Drive-thru or walk up only, no room inside for seating. Kind and courteous service! Have been eating here off and on for several months, and they have never messed-up on my order, not even once! I would highly recommend this place! Their food and soft drinks are very reasonable. The food is delicious!!

Jaime McCarty: This place is so good. I wish we had gone long ago. I usually prefer sit down eating establishment, but finally gave in and went through the drive through. Food was 🔥! The portion sizes were really large, the service was great, and overall great experience. We had steak tacos with beans and rice (my favorite) , chicken flautas wit guacamole, and fries with cheese dip. All were fantastic. I highly recommend.

Phong Tran: Wanted a quick burrito from the drive thru before i hit the gym. And the $10 adobada buritto i got was COLD... Like bruhhh don't cook big batches of food and let it get cold! Food loses freshness and flavor that way, then your forced to throw a bunch of cold food away or worst try to serve it to your customers for quick buck.... 2/10. If you don't cook with love, just don't cook. Get out of the business. 1st and Last time here.

Catherina Mueller: First visit and I’m in love, wish it were closer to my house. First, a taco shop with a drive-thru? Hell yes. My cabeza street tacos were amazing and flavorful, juicy, great texture, and I liked the hot sauce that came with it. Also appreciative of the clamshell container that came with it that actually made it possible to eat in the car - sounds like a small thing but makes a big difference in containing the mess when eating on the go. Looking forward to trying the horchata and burritos in the future too. Happy to go every time I’m in Independence now!

Sean Postpichal: The 30.00 i paid for 7 tacos on Taco Tuesday was a sham, and the Carne asada was as dry as it could be. Won't make that choice againFood: 1/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Rain Talbot: The Host seemed irritated that guests walked in. He needs to smile & be happy someone is coming in. After all, without guests, he wouldn't have a job! The server was very good. The food was meh... shredded chicken had zero flavor! They were out of refried beans. How is that possible in a Mexican restaurant?! I like the iguanas on the walls & references to life in Independence, MO!

leverage 2018: Amazing food 😋 😋. Haven't had food like that since I was in California. Really good food, but they need more good wait staff. Anyone looking for a job that has great customer service??😁

Ben Yankin: Your food sucks.

Brandy Cornwell: Dined in outside on patio first time in years!!! Managers pay attention...ALLISON (can not say this enough) ALLISON, was FANTASTIC!!! She was the BEST server weve ever met, she was above and beyond a respectful, kind, fast and observant server! She recognized our needs, offered not only a courteous and respectful service with an honest smile and enthusiasm but, man was she on top of things! From start to finish, ALLISON made our first outside dining experience since the pandemic started the best it could have been! When you have employees like ALLISON, that go above and beyond for your customers, it makes for a wonderful dining experience and memory!!! Food was magnificent, both hot and yummy large portions, great fresh tasting food! Chips are Awesome, and there salsa is super! Only downside was the doors, they are a bit hard for wheelchairs to push open! And the metal chairs outside make a very loud grind when moved under table, maybe a little padded slider under bottom of chair leg is a good idea , lol!! Way to go Salty iguana! You are a hidden gem, rare and beautiful thanks to a great staff like ALLISON, and the cooks working yesterday afternoon.Kid-friendliness: Offered kid friendly options like chicken strips and fries!@@Wheelchair accessibility: Was wheelchair accessible outside on the patio, the door was a bit hard to open ,but wss large enough for a good size chair to fit through.
