El Tucan

Going with three stars because the service was good and the food was just OK. But, I believe I know the experience level of this family and I have no doubt they can be in the five star category soon. I ordered a steak entrée and asked if it was possible for it to be cooked to medium rare and was told it was. Once the entrée was delivered, I knew it would have been almost impossible because the 2 slices of steak were paper thin. Unfortunately, mine was kind of like jerky.My Margarita was inexpensive, but had a lot of mixer in it. I hope in the future they will eventually offer the opportunity to offer higher quality margaritas, of course at a higher price. Said his burrito was just OK, but, again they have not been open long and are probably still working some bugs out. I'll give them a few more weeks and look forward to visiting again.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food is incredible! Our servers here are always so welcoming and friendly. We have tried several things off the menu and have never been disappointed. Best Mexican food in the area!

Food was terrible. Most of it was not edible. Rice not cooked and was dried out. So much grease on the beef everything was soggy. Chicken was the worst tasting chicken ever. Chips and salsa were good. Not going back for a 2nd try. Go up the road to Mojitos Mexican Grill, much better food all the way around.

This place used to be called Real Jalisco and was in other spots on Hwy 7 over the years. They left Blue Springs in 2020. We are beyond excited they are back! It was one of our favorite places and we were so sad when they went away.El Tucan has great margaritas and they have a bunch of real authentic Mexican-inspired foods (so no, NOT a cream cheese enchilada or a chimichanga, which is fine someplace else). If you want to try some cool things legitimately inspired by spots south of the border, this place is awesome. And I'm sure they do good fajitas and burritos too, but we always get our fun favorites. We love the grilled chuletas (pork chops) and Pollo Mariposa, plus queso fundido. Nobody else makes these dishes! Highly recommend, but you need to know this is maybe a bit more Mex-Mex (vs. Tex-Mex). Atmosphere is very clean and tidy, not fancy, lots of room, good looking bar options and TVs on for games and such over the bar. Please try it!!!

They are back!!!! Recently re-opened under new name but still serving the same fresh made, high quality, authentic Mexican food they are known for. This place is NOT gringo Tex-Mex food covered in cheese sauce, this is real authentic home cooking from Mexico using first rate ingredients. New space is large and welcoming, service was fast, informative and attentive by friendly people. My chicken Mariposa Jalisco was delicious; tender grilled chicken, covered with sauce of onion, spices, mushrooms and nopales --so flavorful! Other dishes were also outstanding; Chiles en Ogada, Enchiladas Mole.Very glad Sergio and his crew are back providing excellent authentic Mexican flavor.

This is our family's favorite place to eat! Sergio and Vanessa are incredibly kind and welcoming. We have been eating their food for years and years. They are now back home in Blue Springs and we are so happy! We love the salsa, queso fundido and refried beans. For the main entree, you cannot go wrong. Pollo a la Parilla is a family favorite dish. They have authentic dishes featuring family recipes. Their margaritas are the best. If you like things a little spicy, ask to add jalapenos in the margarita!Yes, the food is fantastic, but one of the favorite things are wonderful people that know you when you walk in each visit.

The food is very good, food is similar to another restaurant that was in Blue Springs with the same owner, authentic mexican food.Would highly recommend to try!Service was and very good a attentive.We will be coming back!
