"Opened in 1980 by a second-generation railroad-worker family, this small neighborhood spot began with a five-item menu that included a family-style Mucho Tacos platter based on recipes from hard times (including fillings that once used peas or potatoes). It remains one of the more prominent purveyors of the Kansas City–style fried, Parmesan-enhanced tacos and emphasizes frugal, comforting preparations passed down through the family." - José R. Ralat
