Kansas City Taco Company

Kansas City Taco Company sits in the River Market district and earned its national reputation after a feature on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives spotlighted the Cowboy Junkie Burrito, a deep-fried flour tortilla filled with mesquite pork and chorizo, served over rice with queso and spicy pinto beans. The non-traditional taqueria approach means the menu moves beyond basics, with beef birria tacos served with a side of consomme for dipping and a lobster taco that surprises first-timers with genuine generosity. The River Market location offers both indoor and outdoor seating with a full bar and weekend brunch. Order the Cowboy Junkie Burrito and two beef birria tacos for a complete Kansas City taco experience.
