Great Mexican food considering we’re located in Kansas. The combination of street tacos is a must! The pastor taco is also excellent to order by itself!

Always good food! Good Mexican style restaurant, perfect for a small town. Service could be better. We had to wait for quite a while for anyone to walk by to request a refill and then actually flagged a bus person to assist. Ordered a sangria swirl margarita and was brought a regular sangria. I asked about the swirl margarita part and was advised that's called a tropical sangria... Implying I should keep my sangria that was delivered. It was a decent sangria but definitely could have used more bourbon. No heat on the backside. Would have preferred the drink I ordered though All in all I'd return.

This is one of my favorite stops. They have the best Tacos I've ever had. The meat is seasoned with their own recipe and is wonderful.

I live in south Texas. It's normal to see authentic Mexican restaurants. I came to De Soto to pick up some equipment. I really didn't expect to see a authentic Mexican Restaurant this far north. Their food is freaking Amazing!!!! Everything is Amazing , food drinks and staff... 1 - 10 I give it a 10!!!!!!

We have been eating there for over 3 years now. We have been there numerous times. The people that work there are always on the ball and they are very friendly. It's our favorite Mexican restaurant to go to. They are always very busy so I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way as we do. The DeSoto burrito is great if you don't mind having french fries in your burrito. Who would have thought. It tastes great. My favorite are the fajitas. The salsa is excellent and the margaritas are very good. If it's your first time going, I would highly recommend it. I would be shocked if you have a bad experience. They have been consistently good and I can't think of a time where we had a bad experience or there was a problem. UPDATE: after 7 or 8 more visits at least, I would write the same review. We lost our favorite waitress though. So that's a bummer. The other people do fine, but my wife and I really liked her.
