Carniceria y Tortilleria San Antonio

I ordered a burrito (asada), and tacos (carnitas/ lengua/ alpastor). The alpastor was the only on that had good flavors, the other three meats tast old/off. The serving of lengua was also very small and dry. Had high hopes for the food. The overall place has good selection and the home made tortillas smelled great.

I have tears in my eyes. I moved here from Texas about two years ago, so naturally, when it comes to Mexican food I compare everything to Tex-Mex, it is a downfall of mine. When I first moved here everyone told me KC has amazing Mexican food and I have to check out a very popular Mexican spot over on Southwest Boulevard that starts with a P and ends with onaks. I went home and cried on my floor it was the worst food I’ve ever had. In that moment I swore off Kansas City Mexican food. Flash forward to today. I get on Reddit where a girl who also moved here but from Florida was speaking of San Antonions saying it was some of the best Mexican food she’s ever had. I pulled up the menu and everything looked amazing. So I started the 20 minute drive over there. Let me tell you. This is some of the best food I’ve not only had in Kansas City but some of the best tacos I’ve ever had, even better than Austin street tacos. The tamale literally brought tears to my eyes. It was moist, it was flavorful. It was perfect. 10/10. Amazing. Perfect. No notes.

Delicious, authentic tacos! Loved the salsa bar: great varieties of salsas. They were all super tasty! We also got a pastor quesedilla that was amazing!!! No prices were posted, but tacos were about $2 each and the pastor quesedilla was $8. We tried pastor, asada, carnitas, and barbacoa. All had fantastic flavor, but I think my favorite was the pastor!

Amazing pastor street tacos! 🌮 Loved the self-serve topping and salsa bar - plenty of choices! Plenty of seating, even though it was packed during lunch. Definitely recommend!

Overall, the tacos were delicious to the point that those are considered flavor-bombs especially the al pastor tacos. The carne asada tacos were delicious too and it was a great deal since each taco was only less than $2 each before taxes. There was also a salsa bar with a good variety of salsas and toppings to choose from, a small section dedicated to groceries, and the store even sold some refrigerated salsas that the store made.

Authentic and what you need. Support local. They have what you need and then some. It's good food and good people. What else can you ask for?

Great place to get fast, authentic Mexican food! The quesadilla and street taco are so delicious. (That's all I've tried.) You order at the counter from the menu board, but there are no prices listed. And you wait for your number to be called. They have a bar with lime, cilantro, onion, salsa and all kinds of sauces with different level of heat.

Absolutely delicious barbacoa, tamales, menudo and carnitas tacos. We love to have a meal or two here while in Kansas City for the soccer games.
