" El Alteño surprised me with their level of quality! I’ve tried different items on their menu, and every single one has been delicious. The staff is friendly, and the location feels very welcoming. It can get busy, so I do suggest trying to go at less peak hours! Overall, definitely a local treasure that I’ll return to often. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been on a quest to find authentic Mexican food in Kansas City, and I believe I've found it at El Alteño! The mole was rich and the enchiladas were perfectly cheesy. It brought back wonderful memories of my visits to Mexico! Service was a little slow during peak hours, but worth the wait for such delicious food. I’ll certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Alteño is now at the top of my list for Mexican cuisine in Kansas City! I can happily say that the Chicken Enchilada I ordered was heavenly, and the beans had a homemade quality that I rarely find elsewhere. However, the highlight for me was their horchata, which was rich and flavorful. My only complaint would be that the wait for our food was a bit longer than I expected, but the delicious taste made it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

The service was courteous, which made the experience even better. The prices are incredibly fair for the quantity you receive. I would recommend it to anyone looking for quality Mexican food.

Though it can get a little crowded during peak hours, the atmosphere remains warm and inviting. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! " (*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!
