" We decided to try El Alteño after hearing rave reviews from some friends and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere felt very cozy and welcoming. We ordered a variety of dishes including enchiladas, fajitas, and several appetizers. All of them were delicious, especially the carne asada! The service staff was attentive without being intrusive. We can't wait to return to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" This hidden gem in Kansas City has quickly become my favorite spot for authentic Mexican food! The tacos are bursting with flavor and the salsas are made in-house, which truly makes a difference. The service is always friendly and prompt. I especially love their Chicken Tinga and the portions are generous! Cannot recommend this place enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried El Alteño based on its reputation and I am thrilled I did! Their tacos were authentic and made to order, bursting with flavors that felt familiar. The service was attentive, and I appreciated their suggestions on what to try. The atmosphere felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Alteño based on the reviews, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The food was decent, with the enchiladas being the standout dish. However, I didn't feel the authenticity was as strong as I expected. The service was friendly but a little slow. I'll consider trying again to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading all the good reviews, I decided to visit El Alteño. The place was quite busy which I took as a good sign. The salsa was the highlight of my meal - fresh and tasty! However, my tacos were just okay. I didn't think they were bad, but not as authentic as I hoped. The service was good, and I'll probably give it another try since I liked the vibe of the restaurant.

" Last week, my friends and I had dinner at El Alteño and we couldn’t have had a better experience! The restaurant is small and cozy, perfect for intimate gatherings. Our server was delightful and made sure we were well taken care of. I recommend trying the carnitas - they were the best I’ve ever had! I plan to return very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for Mexican food in Kansas City, look no further than El Alteño! The combination meals are incredible and very filling! I especially loved the shrimp fajitas. My partner got the chicken enchiladas and couldn’t stop raving about them! The prices are low, making it a great value for the flavor and quantity. Will definitely be coming back when in the area!
