Best Mexican restaurant in the city in my opinion. Definitely worth the effort. I come here every time I get a chance.
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
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.
