Some restaurants look like the real deal from the outside and in. Fancy shiny decor, high-tech websites, you know the drill. Other places are a bit more humble, with a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere that belies the great flavor within. One such hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Kansas is Carniceria y Tortilleria San Antonio in Kansas City. It’s tucked away in KCK’s Armourdale neighborhood, and it certainly doesn’t look like much from the outside. Just one taste, however, and you’ll see why this little deli is considered to have some of the best tacos in Kansas.

This place is incredibly unassuming and easy to miss, but trust us, you'll want to stop by.

The interior is simple, with basic counter service and not many frills. Visit at lunch and you may find there are no tables available. It's a popular spot amongst locals who are in the know.

The tacos here are incredible. You can't beat the tortillas, which are made in-house. There are a variety of fillings, including pastor, deshebrada (shredded beef), carnitas, and more. The salsa and topping bar is self-serve, so you can customize your dish.
