Kansas City Tacos: A History of the Parmesan-Covered Fried Taco | Eater

"Opened as a post-retirement venture in 1972 and later relocated to larger Westside quarters, this family-run diner is known for menu riffs on Mexican favorites—most notably enduringly popular carnitas—and for keeping the local fried, Parmesan-finished taco tradition alive across generations now led by the founders’ daughters." - José R. Ralat

Was in for a company team lunch: filled up closer to noon. Seems to be locally popular. Menu was compact but had all the essentials (and they were tasty) Chips are fried in-house. For those particular to salsa: 'Spicy' salsa was relatively spicy however very liquid when it comes to consistency. Friendly and receptive staff.

Tried this spot yesterday for lunch and it was pretty good. I ordered the fried taco platter and my friend had the same with some chili on the side. It was pretty darn tasty. Nice quiet place with some delicious food. They aren't able to serve alcohol at the moment but I had a strawberry fanta, it was sooo good. I will for sure be back!

I've wanted to try La Fonda El Taquito for quite some time, should've tried them long ago. What a wonderful local KC gem! Family owned charm and the aroma of authentic homestyle recipes greet you immediately when entering the door of this charming Cantina style restaurant. From fresh fried chips and homemade salsa as well as guacamole, to the pork chili, fried tacos, al pastor street tacos, cheese and onion enchiladas, chorizo and eggs...it was all outstanding. Each of the above mentioned dishes are outstanding in their own ways, among the best in KC for our tastes. Super friendly service and wondeful owners as well as reasonably priced make La Fonda El Taquito a new family favorite.

Our server ruined the experience, she cared more about standing in the front talking to her coworkers then serving my family of small children. 25 minutes to get a drink after ordering it is kind of long. After our server mixed up our orders and did not bring us the special, the manager said we should of known better. Make sure to explain in detail a simple order so that you don't get over charged.

Always my favorite spot when craving some authentic Mexican food. Their menudo is supreme. Their fried tacos are the best in the city and exactly like my abuela used to make them. Something feels like home when you’re here. Be nice to the service and they’re treat you like family 💛
