    Wonderful food, service and Margarettas. I can't believe after all these years I haven't eaten at this local gem. We will definitely be coming back!

    Good food, good value as long as there isn't a wait. Staff is friendly and helpful. This place can be packed at times. Outdoor seating is nice. Chips and salsa upon seating, I normally fill up on the chips before my meal arrives.

    Let me tell you a story: I am not good with spicy. I like spicy but I don't order spicy things at restaurants. I messed up and ordered something VERY spicy (it stated it was spicy on the menu my eyes just didn't read it haha) BUT IT WAS DELICIOUS. My mouth was on fire but it was so good I didn't want to stop eating it. You know the food is good when it's spicy as hell and I still enjoy it. Definitely worth stopping in and enjoying some spicy or non spicy food!

    Since you guys just now want to start adding extra cost... To things or stuff I ain't been charge for before, we won't be baxk. Not to mention the food was not that great today... Veggies on my shrimp nachos did not and was not cooked right. Your counter people acted like they didn't care... I'm sure 1 customer won't make a difference to you. But I can definitely take my family's money elsewhere... We normally eat here least 2 to 3 times a month... 😳 Avoid

    Great Mexican food. The owner, Jesus, is always there. Very friendly wait staff. Rarely have to wait to be s seated. Indoor or outdoor dining. TV's, music, nice atmosphere. Not a chain, recipes created in house. We eat there at least once a week. What are you waiting for, don't take my table! You'll be back.

    The hostess who seated me was rude when she greeted me and the waiter was ok but didn't know what specials they had. All of the sodas were flat, and after pointing it out, they couldn't fix it. The food was pretty good, but with everything else, there's a lot better places to go in Blue Springs for Mexican food

    Food was good and the service was good. Chips were fresh and the hot sauce was fantastic. Tacos Al Pastor very tasty. The mixed drinks not so much. Had a rum & coke and it was one shot in a giant mug of cola. Atmosphere is terrible. No decor, no energy, nothing to let you know that you're in a Mexican restaurant. Even the parking lot was terrible. Grab this to go!

    Some of the best food we've ever had. We got the Cheese Dip with the works and the Fajita burrito and were blown away. Definitely a must try!

  • 4/5 Kayla G. 8 months ago on Google
    Overall the food & service were good. I like the updated version of their menu also. The strawberry daiquiri I got was awesome! The prices though are a bit steep in my opinion for what you get. I would definitely look at how they could make that part better. Other than that it was a good experience!

    We love the carnitas, perfectly made. Clearly someone who knows what they're doing is in the kitchen. Great fresh hot chips. Good priced margaritas and beer. The beans and cheese were also very fresh and tasted amazing. Little small place but really good value Service was spot on as well.

    We went on Super Bowl Day for dinner. Not crowded and very good food. The chips are so thin. Delicious. Going to try the BBQ ribs soon.

    We are regulars here and the food is always great. The meals are fresh and hot and very flavorful. The staff is always friendly and are perfect at their craft.

    Hole in the wall and pretty bare bones. They have a few terrific burritos (the Jalisco, the El Toro, the smoked pork and bean) on the menu, really good chips and salsa, fresh brewed iced tea, and actually some of the best ribs I’ve ever had when they’re available- a real sleeper of place for tasty ribs in KC (local tip). You may have to flag down the server for an iced tea refill is my only complaint if any, but I love fresh brewed non-foofy tea and it’s delicious here!

    I have been going here frequently for their amazing food! I love their fried tacos! The atmosphere inside is nice. I do wish they would spruce up their patio a little bit. They have great space outside and could really make it nice!

  • 5/5 Shelly L. 9 months ago on Google
    Chips Amazingly thin, and crunchy , Salsa perfectly blended and not one bit chunky! And that Cheese Dip is to die for!!! The food is delicious!! How in the world is this place not Slammed crowded? The waiter was kind and pleasant, and quick with our Margaritas, which did I mention, made perfectly! Strong like we like them!! People of BS should be checking this place out!! Way better then most Mexican Restaurants in this area! We will definitely be back!!!

    Great little Mexican restaurant! Nothing fancy but good food, great margaritas, and fantastic service. Prices seemed reasonable.

  • 4/5 Elle O. 1 year ago on Google
    I keep forgetting to take photos! I had the burrito Supreme, with rice instead of beans, and my husband had the burrito Jalisco. The kiddo had the quesadilla. Everything was good, and the burritos were a good size, but not as big as my head. The quesadilla was perfectly cooked, though the child complained there was "too much cheese" (which is truthfully impossible, but she's seven). The reason they lost a star was the tortilla chips. We found a crumpled straw wrapper in the chips that didn't belong to any of us (we checked), and one of the chips had a dried drop of salsa on it. No proof, so I'm not going to do anything about it, but it's POSSIBLE our chips were left over from a previous party, and served to us. Again, this is just supposition, and we had no hesitation eating the rest of our (freshly cooked) food. Oh! Do be aware that their orange juice is something like Sunny-D, so if you're hoping for the real thing, don't order it.

    The service was good. Salsa met my standard of "par" I like a little more chunk and fresh green onions in my salsa. I ordered the veggie Quesadilla that came with rice and beans for $8.99. This was there lunch prices, fair warning. But the food was flavorful and it was nice to see someone offering a vegetarian option in their menu. Overall, pleased with my 30 min lunch break here.

    We have been going to Las Playas for years, off n on, this trip was good. The return of staff, that we liked from a couple of years ago, was nice to see. The service and food quality has improved from my previous experience. The pitcher of frozen margarita was delicious and strong.

  • 5/5 Angelique Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Husband and I stopped in late after getting off work. The food was very good! The chicken and shrimp burrito was amazing and thier Verde sauce is killer! Good prices for beer and tacos were great too! Highly recommend!

    My family and i went to Las Playas in Blue Springs and had a great time. The staff is so friendly and even helped with my meal and making it gluten free. If you want authentic Mexican food, this is a great restaurant to try. I took a few bites of my seafood enchiladas before taking this photo so excuse the less than perfect pic. Enjoy your trip.

    I used to eat here weekly but moved away. Was recently back in town and couldn't wait to hit up one of my favorite local spots! It was better than ever! I can see it still has the same owner and it was absolutely delicious!
