So I stumbled on this spot after driving to El Pollo Rey and finding it closed. I took a chance on a smaller, little known gem and I'm so glad I did! The chicken is moist, tender, and magnificently seasoned. The skin isn't very crispy because it's more smoked than grilled. But the star of the show? THE RIBS. Dios Mio! Listen, I ate the ribs with no sauce and barely chewed... they were tender, seasoned, caramelized and smoked to perfection. The sauce that comes with is unlike any bbq I've ever tasted. (I actually put it on my chicken, though because the other sauce was a little spicy for me.) The owner welcomed me in on this hot 4th of July--he was warm, friendly and proud of his skills. And sir, you should be! Your ribs are FYAH! Ya'll can bring these ribs to your cookout and people will want to know whose uncle was on the pit... yes, that good. :) You can buy the ribs by the pound and a whole or 1/2 chicken. I'm not really a sides girl, but the rice, beans, sauce and tortillas that come with your meal are tasty, too. I could feel the love in every bite. I live in Lees Summit, but I'll make the drive back...
Read moreWoke up craving some chicken and googled around for somewhere to go, found this place and saw it was nearby, went and picked up some food and the customer service was awesome, had a cool chat with who I presume was the owner, very cool and attentive person.
He threw in some extra pieces in there as he came to find out it was out first time here. The chicken was seasoned beautifully, we got the Chiltepin style, perfectly spicy and flavorful, the one thing that I loved was that it was a long lasting burn, we also got some 3 pounds of ribs one in each style. These weren’t your regular sized local BBQ joint sized ribs, these ribs had some really good size to them and the flavor and tenderness was there, but my all time favorite was the Enchipotlado, 11/10 would recommend.
We spent a good $60, went home with 3 full bags of food to feed the family, I’d say it was...
Read moreOMG! This place is FANTASTIC! A small apparently family owned business. Their dinners come with a whole or half chicken. Get the whole chicken! I got carryout as usual for me and am really into Mexican food, hitting dozen of spots for decades in KC. This place has some unique flavors and sauces that I have never had before. For example, their guacamole has a slightly sweet lime taste. You have to try this. Wood fired grille does chicken and ribs. Just falls off the bone. It's truly unique, very nice family and they deserve the business. Plenty of parking for carryout, although may need more as time goes on. I'm still high from that dinner....
