Excerpt from 41 KSHB - 5 Mexican restaurants to try during Hispanic Heritage Month, as picked by Kansas Citians
Words and media by Addi Weakley and David Medina
Offering a modern approach to traditional Mexican food, Taco Naco KC is a quick, reliable option for the Johnson County suburbs.
Each dish is vibrant and fresh, topped with a rainbow of garnishes.
Addi tried three different tacos — pork al pastor, brisket barbacoa and carne asada chimichurri.
While I would eat all three again, my favorite was the brisket barbacoa.
As a Kansas City native, I have an affinity for brisket, so my hopes were high. Luckily, Taco Naco delivered.
Each bite was lush, juicy and flavor-packed.
Even after going overboard on sauce, which was so hot I had to take a pause to cry it out, and compromising the structural integrity of my taco, I was content.
David tried three chicken al pastor tacos topped with cilantro, pineapple, onion relish and cilantro aioli.
Despite picking off each pineapple chunk, since he isn't the biggest fan of the fruit, David said the aioli was a bright spot and he would recommend visitors try the citrus-forward taco.
