One of the mainstays over the years in my “Mexican restaurant rotation” has been Rudy’s on Westport Road. I’ve had dozens of lunches there, dinners and even birthday celebrations. I’m a big fan of their food, their service, the atmosphere and location.
If you are looking for tacos and fresh Mexican food in southern Kansas City, check out Rey de Oros Taqueria on Holmes, in Martin City. Great flavors, lots of options, fun casual space.
