Where is the best Mexican restuarant in KC?

[acesn8s]

I'm sitting here getting ready to eat a burrito and thinking of a restuarant that I grew up with. It was authentic Mexican. Jorge (the owner) would go home to Mexico City to visit his mother and bring back a recipe to add to his menu every year. It was the best! But now he is gone and I can't find a Mexican restuarant that isn't like all of the others in town.

What say you ChiefsPlanet?

After living in Texas, it's not the same up here.

that said we love stoping at Taco John's (Taco Burger and Potatoe Ole's = yum)

For more traditional Margaritta's - I love their salsa, we also go to the grocery store to buy a few jars and bring home with us (st. louis, now).

Las Playas was. The old house across from Cool Crest. Closed down in the 80's.

Their food is good if you want every meal to be flavorless.

We ate at Don Chilitos for lunch today. We didn't like the school lunch line atmosphere. The beans and rice were dry, although the entrees were good. Overall I feel like we had to work a little too hard for the price we paid.

You're kidding me. I hate that place. It was the most flavorless garbage I've ever tasted.

I would also avoid the Coyote something or other at Noland and 40 Hwy.

My favorites are the afformentioned Habeneros in Lee's Summitt and Jose Peppers (multiple locations).

I don't particularly care for "authentic" mexican food.

I completely agree.
My mother seems to like it though. I can't understand that one for the life of me. We both usually have the same taste.
