Tacos Valentina

Loved the atmosphere, and was a fan of the chips and guacamole. The taco options were fun to try and all tasted great. Great drink options! Surprisingly not crazy busy for a Saturday mid-afternoon, a family was sat around playing games, there is also an outside patio. We enjoyed it and will definitely return when we are back in town.

Is this the best mexican food in all of Kansas City? Yeah, it really might be. The Cronch wrap? Incredible. Sure, taco bell is a guilty pleasure, but this is euphoria. The beer is top notch. The food is perfection. Every variety of meat they offer has been delicious. Every form, perfectly executed. The frozen carajillo is a treat too. Every time I come here I’m impressed all over again.

Absolutely the best tacos I've ever had in Kansas City. So good in fact, before heading home, I picked up 3 more tacos for home. The tacos are far more crispy than anything I've ever had. The meats are perfectly seasoned. You'll love the pickled onions, if you like onions. But is it worth the 30 minute drive from Johnson County? You BET!

Torn Label Brewing serves the beer and Tacos Valentina serves the food. Everything is delicious, it's a great little spot. Good open air vibes and chill staff. However, I'm only giving four stars because it was just a little pricey for how much food I received. Don't get me wrong it's really delicious, but left me feeling a little hungry despite hitting my budget for lunch. I just had the two small tacos and it was $11.

Torn Label partnered with this taco place and they are excellent. I loved the guac (nice and salty lime flavor) and the pork taco was so so so good. Also tried the beef taco which was good but probably needed a second corn tortilla to keep it from falling apart in my hand. Definitely recommend! Partnership started in Feb '23 according to the bar tender.

Tacos Valentina catered our wedding and it was absolutely incredible! I honestly expecting just a standard buffet of tacos fillings--but no, they had beautiful ceramic dishes, handmade tortillas, and a gorgeous topping spread! When we had a slight mix-up, they went above and beyond to fix it. Most importantly, everything was delicious and people couldn't stop talking about the food!

Very cool atmosphere. Have one person during lunch taking orders and serving food. Wait time is long during lunch. Food is a 8. Would be a 10 if there wasn’t a puddle of oil at the bottom of my Togo container that made my taco shells fall apart. And the cactus on the mushroom taco were woody.

The vibe is very much not my thing but does well in a Midwestern city for obvious reasons. The tortillas were the main reason we visited and they met my expectations! The papas machas were also tasty. It would be nice to have more taco options on the menu. We ordered a churro at the end and it had way too much drizzled sauce on it. It made it nearly impossible to eat with how sweet it was. I'm sure it doesn't happen often so just beware! Authentic? Not at all. Are the tacos good? I would say so but my mind wasn't blown away.

Tacos Valentina is SO good! Love the food. I recently ordered the asada fries. This was a good portion for a meal for me. The fries were nice and crispy and had a little bit of a kick. The food at Tacos Valentina goes great with the beer at Torn Label. The service is always quick and efficient. It is located within Torn Label / partnered with Torn Label so you can order both beer and food at counter. You get a stand with a number and your food is brought out to your table when ready. I highly recommend giving Tacos Valentina a try if you are a fan of Mexican food. It will not disappoint!

First time at Tacos Valentina -loved the environment and the food of this adorable restaurant in East Crossroads. The food had great flavor and the tortillas are really good, almost a flash fried type of flavor. We loved the barbacoa and picadillo tacos as some of our favorites. If you're a beer drinker, you'll enjoy the selection!

een a while since I did a Yelp event... and a while since I was trying new micro brews. This staff was amazing and was extremely helpful not only in what they had for beer which was 5 flagship beers and 8 seasonal beers, but also the layout of the place, top things on the menu and so on. They have some fantastic beer. Of course, beer is subjective and I tend to like dark and smoky but my friend who is recently into IPAs also liked his beer so that tells me they are doing well across the board. Taco Valentina is the kitchen that produced the tacos. These were killer! So many great taco flavours. If I had to say a downside... it was parking for the size of the event we were having there. The place was open but the streets and small lots were full.

Such a hip and delicious place to get some Bouche tacos with great flavors. Also recommend the tres dips. They serve different draft beers to which I cannot speak to, but do have a seltzer in a can for gluten free patrons.

While you are at Torn Label Brewing Co definitely get some tacos from Tacos Valentina. Size wise the tacos are larger than most street tacos and full with toppings. Out of the 3 I tried (Kansas City, Pollo Adobada, Pescado En Ceniza) all three had good portions and great flavor. Tacos come out quickly and staff was friendly and helpful.

I love Tacos Valentina. They have great tacos and beer. Order at the counter and they'll bring it to you.

RUN to get this pozole. Perfect on a cold day in KC. Taproom is cute with games and beers are always good!

After a Saturday evening Crossroads brewery crawl that stretched 4 blocks and 4 microbreweries, it was time for some for some nutrients that weren't hop based. Tacos Valentina is the kitchen inside of Torn Label Brewery and their tacos were a bit pricey at $5.50 each or 3 for $15, but I would be happy to pay that price again, in fact I want to do it again very soon. I ordered the KC Taco, the Suadero and gave my bartender the responsibility to select her favorite as my third, she chose the Oronoco.. it was truly a 3 way tie for which one was my favorite. The crunch of the fried tortilla filled with ground beef and dusted with parmesan was probably the best KC style taco that I've ever eaten. The chunks of seared brisket covered in a creamy tomatillo jalapeño sauce - exquisite. The fried potato fingerlings with yogurt and charred salsa - unique and addictive. Tacos Valentina has moved to the top of the charts with a bullet as my new favorite "upscale / gourmet" taqueria, and being inside a cool space that serve fresh beer only adds to the experience. Worth the trip a few blocks east of the center of the Crossroads action.

Wow this food is amazing. Preparation of details to bring forth the incredible flavors infused throughout every bite

It's not often I leave a review for a place while I'm actually sitting there but I'm gonna take the opportunity to do it now! PASS on this place it's 300° outside. They don't even have ice for their water. Taco joint with no margaritas or liquor. What the F! The restaurant is basically self serve not sure why they ask for tips at the counter. You have to walk up and place your order at a counter carry your marker to your table get your own water. There's no utensils available in the lobby so you have to go up to the counter to ask for them. I don't see myself coming back to this place.

Recommended by a friend so stopped by on a Sunday while in town for an event. Very chill, family-friendly with outdoor seating. Wonderful tacos and beer - had the 2 KC & a Barbacoa with the House Brew beer and all were delicious.

Authentic and INCREDIBLE Taco Bar Catering for a Party! So So highly recommended! Ordered their Take Away Catering for a party and people truly cannot stop talking about how good the tacos were. We got the Pibil and the Chicken Tinga as well as the Chips and Guacamole. They sent all the taco fixins as well: finely chopped onions, pickled onions, two types of salsa, lime wedges, and homemade tortillas that I'm still thinking about 3 days later. Could not recommend enough. The service was excellent, the communication was clear (Rogelio is the man!) and we were so so happy with our choice!

We are low key stalkers of @tacosvalentina and we can't be more excited for them that they found a home @tornlabelkc The food and beer go together really well. We had the Monk & Honey and an IPA. The food menu has so many options. We had the Barbacoa for the time, along with the salsa macha. I want it all again. The bean dip with sweet potatoes chips - salt and fat .

So so so glad we decided to come in and stay. The brewery/taco stand set-up threw us at first for a Sunday Brunch time stop. But my lady wanted tacos in K.C. and tacos she gets. Damn they were good! Mushroom Tinga, Carnitas Amazeballz, Barbacoa, pollo adobado. All top notch. So many places in K.C. to explore, birria quest continues. But we will be back!

Tacos Valentina is still somehow a bit of a hidden gem of Crossroads, but everyone should know their name! They're located in the OG Tap Room part of Torn Label. You place your order with the bartender at the bar. Please order as many tacos as you can to try them all! Everything comes out hot and quick with a bottle of (super) spicy orange salsa. Their burrito is also a huge hit (available for lunch and dinner)! Everything is made with fresh and local Caramelo tortillas! This is a not-so-busy part of East Crossroads, so there will be plenty of street parking. Torn Label has a small lot too!

KC Restaurant Week 2024 Value - 4/5 Selection - 5/5 Food - 5/5 First stop on my Restaurant Week Tour of 2024, and I was beyond impressed with this tip-top taco spot that's conviently hidden inside Torn Lable brewery. I really had no idea this place existed, and isn't it a novelty to find a hidden gem close to home? Tucked away, almost under the highway, close to The Truman, but it considers crossroads home. It's a tad hard to find. However, once you find it, you are immediately at home. And bonus points if you come on a Friday because then it's flagship Friday too and brews are $5 and the Alpha is my personal pick. The tacos on the small but mighty menu are all tempting with flavors that sound for sure to be a knockout. The normal menu prices are all around $5, which I do admit is a tad bit steep for street tacos. But, for the restaurant week deal of being able to choose 3 tacos of my choice and an accompanying appetizer for $20, I was sold. The starter I sampled was named "squash dip" and it was a cold appetizer, similar to a hummus, or if you are a little less cultured, a baby food like dip but in the best way. The flavor was akin to my favorite butternut squash soup, and the pepitas on the top were like a savory icing on the cake. Now let's talk tacos! These were all tantalizing with the meat quality off the charts. I went with one of my tried and true favorites whenever I spy it on the menu, and that is the cochinita pibil, one of my favorite pork tacos offered. The tang of the pickled onions piled on top always satisfies me, and the tender shredded citrus pork is acidic in the best way possible, as opposed to the sweet carnitas cousin. I always prefer this taco to any pork variety I've tried. The second pick was the safe bet of an asada taco, with tender steak and all the traditional toppings. It was great, but it was my least favorite of the three I tried that day. Onto something special, my fan-favorite taco of the evening, which was something unique I had never tasted before. This masterpiece of meat was called Suadero, which was confit, melt in your mouth, fatty brisket. It was so decadent and divine. I was kicking myself for never going for it when I had seen it on a menu previously. It is for sure worth sinking your teeth into! All in all, the authenticity of the food was off the charts, the beer was fantastic, and the service made me feel welcomed but wasn't overwhelming. Also, the vibe of the place is bare bones, industrial but also what you expect of a micro brewery in Kansas City. I feel like personality could be better, but I would rather the money be put into the quality of the food and beer, and that was evident.

This place is unreal. We were in town visiting from MN and looking for a place to get some tacos. Everything we had was phenomenal. Had great taste and felt authentic. You could tell the corn tortillas were made from scratch. The best corn tortillas I've ever had! The carne asada fries were super tasty as well. The staff were super friendly too. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for some Authentic Mexican and great craft beer.

Tacos are delicious. Taste authentic. The tortillas are fresh! Great beer and atmosphere

As someone who's been to almost every taco joint in KCK, these are the best tacos I have ever had. Asasa, Barbacoa, and KC taco for a falvorful spin on traditional crunchy taco.

I'm a weekly regular, coming in with a group of my friends every Tuesday for their weekly taco deal and happy hour drinks. Their tacos do not disappoint! My favorites are the orinoco and frijol tacos. They are a little on the higher end of taco prices but are definitely worth it. Staff are also very friendly and helpful.

The best tacos I've had in Kansas City. The prices can seem a little high on first glance but the quality of the ingredients really stands out when we ate the food here. All 5 tacos my wife and I shared along with the quesadilla were absolutely delicious. I can't wait to try the Fern bar which also has tacos Valentina after how much I loved this location at Torn Label Brewing. I enjoyed the two beers I tried and the food was quick to come each time we ordered we had our baby daughter with us and we felt that the place was kid friendly enough- some high chairs would be appreciated though. Overall the quality of the tortillas, meats, and other ingredients made these tacos and quesadilla shine. The flour caramelo tortilla on the quesadilla especially was just perfection with the tomato jam being a perfect dip/accompaniment. We came on a first Friday night where the crossroads was bumping, and the place was pretty full but service was quick! Can't wait to come back

We waited over an hour for tacos! No updates about the wait. We also ordered chips and dip that didnt arrive until after we got our tacos. If you have time to sit and wait for an hour and dont mind over- priced street tacos, then this is your place.

Pleasantly surprised - had the elote...delicious....potatoes....delicious...carnitas taco and carne asada taco....all delicious!!! My new favorite spot - please try it out!

This was a last minute dinner for Restaurant Week but it did not disappoint! We got the papas machas and elotes, and six different tacos to share. Everything came out quickly and was really good! The meat was tender and cooked well. We liked their vegetarian tacos too! Excited that they're going to be a permanent addition to Torn Label.

Again, wowserz! Surge in online orders led to an extended wait time, but, was poured a few beers free of charge. This should be your go to taco/burrito spot if you're in the downtown area. The chefs clearly know how to pair flavors together. Overly satisfied once again. The burrito was a revelation and the chicken quesadilla was as fresh as can be. Very excited to see what Tacos Valentina is going to evolve into.

Great street tacos( Mahi Mahi, beef, chicken)!! Sat on deck & was pleasant! Owners were amazing!

MUST VISIT! I'd heard about Tacos Valentina for months but had not had a chance to visit until this week. Usually, when you go to a tap room at a brewery, the food tends to be lackluster, consisting of simple dishes that can be heated quickly (think pretzel and beer cheese or brats). Not so with TV. The food is authentic, fresh, and tastes amazing.

Visiting from Saint Louis. Open seating, order your food and/or drinks at the counter. Fast service. Tacos were good, just maybe a bit small but thats street taco size. Pretty pleased

Every. Single. Item. Was delicious and top tier. Struggling to think of any taco place back home in Houston that I like better and I can't. Only visiting family on a short weekend trip but likely going here a 2nd time before I leave.

Tacos Valentina has found a permanent home in the Torn Label Public House. My wife and I have had the Barbacoa, Piblil, Carne Asada, Frijol, and Orinoco tacos, the quesadilla, the elotes, and Camote Chips. All of these are outstanding. The Barbacoa and Orinoco were my favorite tacos. The star of the show though is the Burrito made with Odd Bird Farms pork in a chili Colorado sauce. It is not just my favorite burrito in KC but it is my favorite burrito I have ever had. It is simple, the pork, cheese and beans in a grilled Sonoran style tortilla but wow is it good. Definitely add the house made hot sauce to everything. Absolutely love this place.
