Tarahumara Mexican Restaurant

It's all yummy, all of it. Closest thing to what I'm looking for in green chili that I've found in KC.

A very small restaurant with good food.The inside has a counter and three or four tables, but the drive thru window was pretty busy.I enjoyed my chicken chimichanga, which was served smothered in red sauce with a small side of queso. Refried beans and rice were included, too.I finished it, but I probably should have taken a container to go. Service is cheerful and happy to help.

I didn't think much of this place when I first went, but this summer it has emerged as our favorite of the nearby Mexican options. It's good all-around. I haven't had an individual dish that was best in class, but everything we've had has been enjoyable. I'm partial to their sopes. The tacos are tasty but not superlative, but in pocket sandwich form with cheese and lettuce that same meat works even better. The bean and avocado tostadas are also a favorite, and the salsa has a nice flavor to it. The last thing that sets it apart is consistency: other nearby places can have wider swings between good days and off. Tarahumara keeps it tighter - when you're in the mood you won't be risking disappointment. I now see why this place is well-loved by the neighborhood. I'm officially won over. This is as good as it gets in this part of town.

This met my high standards for inexpensive Mexican food that's a VALUE. That's really my only high standard. I like locally-owned places and this fits the bill. Tamales had a little too much breading for my tastes but otherwise everything else I've tried here was really authentic and solid! No liquor that I saw which makes a good lunch option. I think it's the owner that took my order, was really nice. Table seating is limited but it sounded like they do a lot of take out biz.

I had the quesa birria tacos... they were absolutely delicious. I asked for no plastic utensils and they listened.Don't come if you're in a rush. I drove up to the drive thru at 2:15pm- a sign said it was open. I was the third car in line and the line was slow. When I got to the window, it was open but nobody was there, even though I heard people back in the kitchen. I called out a few times- a woman in the kitchen walked by and looked at me but didn't stop. I was about to drive away when finally I saw a man in there and called out to him- he slowly got a different woman to come to the window to help me.There is a menu posted 2 car spots behind the window but you have to memorize exactly what you want because once you get to the window there is no menu.I got the 4 quesa birria tacos for $16 (pricey). She took my money and then told me to wait 10-15 minutes and then come back to the window because there was somebody behind me in line. I was in a bit of a hurry, hence doing the drive through, so this was a bit stressful. The whole drive through experience took 20 minutes. Just be mindful of the timeline and the can't-be-bothered service, but the food is delicious.

They will answer questions about the food in a courteous and helpful manner. Small restaurant-great lunch spot. Affordable and meals are pretty good.

This tiny restaurant is big on flavor, but plan to take your meal to go or else eat quickly. It's not a place to linger. Inside there's a 4-top, a 2-top, and 6 bar stools for seating. No restroom on the premises. There's a drive-thru and you order by phone with the number posted outside. You can also walk in and order at the counter. Just like the other location of this restaurant the food is delicious. Consistently good and some of the best beans and rice in the city. I had the pork verde this time and I would order it again in a heartbeat. It's incredibly flavorful and just the right amount of food. I discovered the two Tarahumara locations through the KCK Taco Trail and they've both landed a slit on my permanent rotation of really good Mexican food in Kansas City.

The food was great and very reasonably priced! 3 tamales, rice, and beans for $7.99. You can't find that deal anywhere else. The service was great as well!

AMAZING birria tacos !!!!! Everything is good, authentic and great deals. Whether its just you (get the 4 birria tacos for 12.99 then!!) or you are having a group order.....can not go wrong

Food is great. Friendly service and clean dining area. This little gem is easy to pass up if you only visit the larger corporate Mexican resturaunts. You are missing out if you don't give it a try.
