    Very good authentic Mexican food restaurant. It is family owned and run. Very popular, there was a wait to get a table. My wife and daughter love their menudo. Both said it was one of the best they've had. The chilaquiles are excellent, plenty of meat, eggs and sauce. Their Horchata is better than any I ever tasted. If you want an authentic Mexican meal, this is the place.

    Where do I start !! I was super impressed by everything! I remember Los Alamos back then when I was a kid! They were a corner market that sold Mexican goods! I remember the Piñatas hanging from the ceiling and getting a variety of jaritos and chips to go!!! We had such a great experience! The owner was very friendly and took care of making our drinks to perfection my michelada was delish!! The eggs!! Omg !! Let’s get to the eggs!! I have never seen an egg cooked so perfect!! It was almost too good to be true !! Their salsas and meat were tender and just super delish!! Their tamales were really amazing too!! Pozole & menudo were to die for! Especially on a chilly day, or a hang over cure! Their coffee was so amazing I was so amazed with everything!! I will definitely go back and recommend this place to everyone!!! Bathrooms were clean, entrance was nice and clean! Service was perfect!! Outdoor chairs to sit were nice and clean!! Los Alamos is a Must try!! 10/10 !! 5 stars !!

    I will start this review with my shame. Went there for the first time a few days ago and it was fabulous! I'm ashamed that I haven't been here sooner. I take pride in finding great places to eat, food, and atmosphere. This place checks all of the above. The owner makes you feel like a best friend, the service is exceptional, and the food is fabulous! Its only been a couple of days and I'm already plotting my next visit with more co-workers. Run, don't walk here.

    My friend and i came in on Saturday around noon. We had chilaquiles and menudo. Chilaquiles had a good flavor, i would've preferred for the sauce to be spicier but that's just me. I also had the agua de melón and my friend had a michelada. Both were tasty. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is the table we were given... Even though it was cleaned off before we sat down, it was extremely sticky! I had to unfold a napkin and set my stuff on it.

    Every time I come here the service is great, the food is amazing and the experience is wonderful. I'm always thankful to walk in this place and feel like I just walked into my Abuela's house. Thank you Los Alamos for always making me feel like familia!

    Best authentic comida we have had since leaving California. We have been searching the KCMO area and have been largely disappointed until now. So happy to have found Los Alamos. Good food. Good people. We will be regulars.

    I brought home the Big A$$ Burrito. Made 3 delicious meals out of it. The meat was perfectly spiced, but not much heat. They ask the degree of spiciness. Well worth it. I need to get there earlier for the horchata.

    Yeah! This place is awesome! Red and Green Chili Pork with rice, beans and tortillas. The pork was tender, not dried out. The chili sauces were on point. Excellent flavor and the right amount of heat!

    Excellent & authentic! Posole, menudo & tamales were delicious. My new go to for Mexican food. Yet, Do not order alcoholic beverages though. The worst - I ordered a Bloody Mary & it was not even close to correct. No tomato juice, no pepper taste. It was juice with something, the worst. Also had a margarita made with squirt & was horrid. And drink prices were outrageous.

    Found this restaurant searching for great tamales in Kansas City. The reviews you read other than mine about how wonderful the people are and how delicious the food is could not be more accurate. Owner and staff were all so friendly and kind. Came through for me on a last minute order for tamales for Christmas and it was just wonderful!!! The food is just delicious, the restaurant was so clean and the staff so kind and courteous! Highly recommend this restaurant! Happy I found it by chance searching for great tamales in KC!!! We also had tacos and pork green chile. They were equally as delicious!!!

    I absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! You must try this dish it is called the El Jefe with three meats. With chips and salsa washed down with this fabulous watermelon drink. Everything they serve is delicious and you will enjoy. Great place to visit

    Be warned, you won't want your first time here to be your last! This place is so delightfully delicious and welcoming, the staff are incredibly friendly, the food is excellent. This is the place to go for a truly authentic, delicious, friendly Mexican meal, and feel like you're family! If you were on the fence about coming stop looking elsewhere and just come here. I've had several dishes and was delighted each time with the fast friendly service and great food. You should know when I say authentic I mean it, if you order something spicy be prepared to sweat, they have options for those who can't handle the heat too though. I will keep coming back and you should too, it's a great place and wonderful to support a locally owned institution.

    The most interesting Mexican food joint yet. The crew has never been to anything like this one before, and we eat a lot of Mexican food. I noticed the olden bar, snapped a photo and asked about the building. It was the owner and what a story. Wife just cooks whatever they have on hand and that's what you choose from. Awesome people, neato place, and good food.

    This is a first. I can truly say that the food was delicious, a superb family-owned restaurant. The Menudo was perfect! Was not disappointed at all! Highly recommended! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Marisa C. 4 months ago on Google
    Couldn't love this place more. Have to get the queso with spicy pork every time! This is a family owned business and it feels like one, in the best way. Like sitting in an Abuela's kitchen while your funny uncle makes tasty Palomas. Definite gem in the KC Mexican cuisine

  • 5/5 Ryan R. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious food at more than reasonable prices ($0.99 tacos??? Incredible!!). Everything tasted great, the service was wonderful, and the location is charming. Possibly my favorite Mexican restaurant in KC!

👍 I ordered a double cheeseburger and asked for how they do it without customizing it. To be honest I give it a four because of the size of the burger and price. The burger tasted good and well balanced in flavors without anything overpowering it. What makes it taste great is the flavor of the meat...
