Kansas City Taco Company, KC Taco Company

Tacos, Tequila, and Tunes—Right Near the Action

Kansas City Taco Company is a funky, laid-back spot in the historic River Market district—just a short walk or ride from some of Kansas City’s most popular concert venues. Known for its creative spin on Mexican street food, this casual eatery dishes out everything from duck bacon tacos to house-made chorizo, along with a rotating lineup of margaritas and local brews. With a cool, graffiti-accented interior and a buzzy patio space, it’s a favorite hangout for locals and visitors alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers flock here for the quick service, relaxed vibe, and prime location near downtown music halls. The staff keeps things moving, making it easy to grab a taco flight and a cocktail before the show. Plus, the lively atmosphere gets you in the right mood for a night of music—without being so loud that you can’t chat with your friends.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun and flavorful pre-show meal
• Solo travelers who want a low-key spot with bar seating
• Couples making a night of it with tacos and tequila
• Fans wanting to soak up the music scene buzz before doors open
• Budget-conscious music lovers—the portions are generous and prices reasonable

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the inventive taco options and the fact that there’s “something for everyone”—including vegetarians. The signature margaritas get lots of love, especially the seasonal flavors. Guests also compliment the casual, welcoming vibe and say it’s a “great place to kick off a night out.”

Areas for Improvement

The indoor space can get a little tight when it's busy, so if you're with a group, aim for the patio when weather permits. It’s also not a full-service restaurant, so you’ll order at the counter—great for speed, but maybe not ideal if you’re after a sit-down dinner.

The Bottom Line

For bold tacos, cold drinks, and a fun atmosphere just minutes from KC’s concert venues, Kansas City Taco Company hits all the right notes.
