El Paso Del Norte

We were greeted as soon as we walked in. I ordered the fajitas and my friend ordered the brisket tacos they were both delicious. We decided that we will be going back

One of those places that I've driven past scores of times over the years, yet never stopped until today.I had my heart on carne asada and al pastor tacos but they had neither today so I ordered a carnitas, chicken and barbacoa taco. The pork was fine - 3 stars, the chicken was plentiful and flavorful - 4 stars, but the barbacoa was out of this world! Easily one of the best tacos I've had. I'm not sure of the spices, but it had a pulled pork type texture with a Sloppy Joe consistency. After throwing on a little onion and cilantro from the condiment table, it was perfection.They also sell breads, cookies and cakes that are on display in the glass cabinets.5 star review, simply for the barbacoa alone.

Top three things to note about eating flautas and enchiladas at El Paso de Norte:1) I'm almost certain there are more than a few health code violations, beginning with the lack of proper ventilation in the building--there's significant haze in the room, the lack of employees washing hands as they are visibly seen handling cash and touching food with the bare hands in front of customers, and the overuse of old oils and old foods being served well past their original cook time. 2) There is smoke everywhere...you will come out smelling like fried foods, despite the large size of the establishment. It's clear that the large kitchen ventilation fans are not in use. There should be a clear distinction that while smelling like food isn't the worst thing ever, smelling like burn oil is.3) Prices are great and service is fast; but maybe a little too fast. We ordered flautas and enchiladas at 11:01 AM, and were served at 11:03 AM. There's a large trade off between speed and freshness, with the first one being a priority. The plates looked better than they tasted. All fried foods have the same after taste: old oil. They almost always run out of foods...our plate included a makeshift salad in exchange for beans, which were allegedly included...probably for the best, as it's probably a healthier choice. The Champurrado was good. We love hole-in-the-wall type of places and frequent them often, but El Paso del Norte is at the bottom of the list of places we're likely to return to...at least for enchiladas and flautas. We have not tasted the bread, but the bakery has great reviews. --Ojalá nuestros establecimientos latinos tomaran un mejor enfoque en mejorar la experiencia del cliente. Cocinar es una cosa, pero cocinar bien requiere mucho más.

Normally the people there are very friendly. I purchased $10.80 worth of cookies, bread and burrito and the cashier rang me up on their credit card machine for $108.00. This was on a Saturday. It didn't hit my bank until Monday. I went back in to have them fix a $90 mistake and the cashier called me a liar and told me to leave. And proceeded to talk crap in Spanish to everyone who would listen. We like their food, but will not be back due to service. If you want to overpay , be defrauded and screwed out of your money- this is where to go!

This is a great place to go late night when you are craving tacos or something tasty to eat. The food was great. The only downfall I experienced was the food wasn't as warm or hot when I received it. Nonetheless, I would revisit and try some other options from the menu.

Oh those pan dulces!!!! Even though I moved away a decade ago, I can't find ANYTHING like them anywhere. My favorite is the sweet potato-stuffed triangle that is coated in sugar!!! Oh I would like a supply of those. And the ball that has fruit in the middle and is rolled in flaked coconut.

This bakery/restaurant serves up great tacos. My al pastor taco was memorable. The meat was moist, and nicely seasoned. The toppings bar had several salsas with various heat levels available, but no pico de gallo, and no cilantro. The service was good, and the price was very reasonable. There is also ample parking in a private lot.

El Paso del Norte is a grocery/taqueria in Kansas City's Northeast neighborhood. It's much more along the lines of the taco places I was used to visiting in KCK, where you order at a counter and then sit at a table in the store itself.Their selection of tacos was great, although the menu wasn't exactly accurate. They had picadillo, which I completely missed because I was going straight by what was on the sign. A couple of my friends got it, however, and it was delicious.I had a barbacoa taco, which was huge, and wonderful. Very tender and well seasoned. The salsa bar had flavors for every heat level, and both that I tried were great.The lady behind the counter did not speak any English, so there were some questions we had that went unanswered. The delicious food, however, spoke for itself.

Promising. Barbacoa and Chicharones tacos. Looking forward to coming back. Especially for the baked goods.

I've eaten Mexican food all around Kansas City, this has to be the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. If they were giving away Free Food, I would not be there. Staff was very unfriendly. Too many good places, don't spend your hard earned money here!
