Creative Freedom
OF Top Chefs

It is a break from the daily grind, a chance to let loose, experiment, and cook without rules or menus. It’s where food turns into freedom, a place to reconnect with the love for cooking, explore bold flavors, catch up with friends in the industry, and share laughs with people who live and breathe the kitchen just like you.

Experience the
Culinary Theater

The magic is in the unknown: you don’t know what’s on the menu, what drink you’ll have, or who you’ll sit next to, and that’s what makes it unforgettable. Like live theater compared to film, Taco En Boca has the thrill of the moment: pure improvisation, pure creativity, and an experience you can’t find anywhere else.

Chef Fernanda Reyes describes the series as a “celebration of community”, a way to bring people together around the richness of culinary arts and hospitality. Each event not only showcases culinary creativity but also serves as a platform for cultural appreciation and collaboration across Kansas City’s vibrant food scene
