La Pasadita (Olathe)

an Olathe family food truck whose entire menu is built on a family beef birria recipe: quesabirria, birria tortas, burritos, loaded fries, pizza, and noodles.

Description

La Pasadita is a family-owned food truck in Olathe whose entire menu grows out of a single family beef birria recipe.¹ Where many KC birria spots keep birria to tacos and consommé, La Pasadita runs a more modern, birria-everything format — crispy quesabirria plus birria tortas, burritos, loaded fries, pizza, and noodles. Reviewers consistently credit “their family’s love and pride” in the food.¹

Disambiguation: not affiliated with the unrelated Taqueria La Pasadita food truck in Seattle, WA, the La Pasadita taquerias in Chicago, the Las Vegas Birria La Pasadita, nor — importantly — the orderlapasadita.com online-ordering brick-and-mortar, which is a Homestead, Florida restaurant (624 English Ave, Homestead FL 33030; (305) 247-2222) with a conventional Mexican menu and no birria.² Search engines have conflated that Florida menu with the Olathe truck’s address; the two are unrelated businesses. This record is the Olathe, KS food truck only.

Tier classification

Tier 2 — family food truck, roots/tenure unconfirmed (provisional). Held at Tier 2 pending the documentation Tier 1 requires: owner names, family origin, and founding/tenure are not yet sourced (see). The family-recipe identity points toward a Tier 1 re-evaluation once ownership is confirmed — flag for a verification pass per Owner-And-History-Research-Toolchain.

Why “partial”: La Pasadita is a mobile food truck with a rotating, location-dependent menu — the truck has publicly noted it sometimes operates “with a completely different menu.” There is no first-party itemized price list (no official site or online-ordering page for the Olathe operation). Items below are sourced to the truck’s own Facebook posts and the Feast feature; prices remain “ beyond the aggregator-cited “5 tacos for ~$12” / “$10–20 per person” range. Re-verification attempted 2026-07-24: the Facebook page is login-walled to automated capture, and no new first-party price list has surfaced; item set below stands as the best first-party capture. Do not treat individual prices as confirmed.

Birria (the core)

• Birria tacos — birria-style beef folded into a tortilla with melted cheese, served with consomé for dipping; the truck’s signature and most-praised item.¹³
• Quesabirria — crispy, juicy quesabirria built on the family beef-birria recipe.¹
• Birria tortas, birria burritos, birria loaded fries, birria pizza, and birria noodles — the “birria-everything” format applied across the menu.¹

Other antojitos & plates (rotating)

• Steak (asada) tacos, al pastor, quesadillas, and tamales appear in the truck’s posts and reviews.³⁴
• Loaded burritos and chicken / steak fajitas are also cited by aggregator listings.⁴

Pricing

• Aggregator listings cite ~5 tacos for $12 and a typical $10–20 per person; treat as indicative only.⁴ Per-item prices: “ (no verifiable first-party price list).

Truck-day hours signal (2026-07-24 check)

• Aggregator listings (Yelp “Updated December 2025”; RestaurantGuru/Wheree) now show a three-day cadence at 2000 E Santa Fe St: Tue 11:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m., Fri 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m., Sat 11:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m. — shorter than the earlier “Tuesdays 11 a.m.–6 p.m.” press listing. Aggregator-sourced; confirm against day-of Facebook posts. “⁴

Note: the orderlapasadita.com online-ordering page (a separate, unrelated business) has now been resolved as a Homestead, Florida brick-and-mortar — 624 English Ave, Homestead FL 33030, (305) 247-2222, conventional Mexican menu with no birria items.² It is not this Olathe truck; its full menu is correctly excluded here. Namesake collision resolved 2026-06-23.

Operating status

Status last verified: 2026-06-23 · Verdict: active — the mobile truck operates; the lone “permanently closed” signal attaches to a separate stale fixed-location listing, not the active truck.

• Status re-verified 2026-06-23 via Yelp listing + 2026 food-truck roundups (accessed 2026-06-23); registry_status set active (was non-enum draft). The active mobile truck — phone (913) 230-0848, “Updated December 2025,” listed in Yelp’s “Best 10 Food Trucks in Olathe, KS — Updated 2026” and recently opened a semi-permanent pitch near 135th & Brougham — is operating. The conflicting “permanently closed” flag on RestaurantGuru (accessed 2026-06-23) attaches to a different phone, (913) 219-7064 (a prior fixed location at 2000 E Santa Fe), not the active truck — see below.

Sources disagree, as is common for trucks with no fixed storefront:

• First-party Facebook (facebook.com/lapasaditaOlathe) carries day-of location posts (“We are at 2000 E Santa Fe St, Olathe, KS 66062 11am to 4pm — steak tacos, birria tacos”) and lists the page as “Temporarily Closed,” not permanently closed.³
• Yelp shows the listing “Updated December 2025,” and La Pasadita appears in Yelp’s “Best 10 Food Trucks in Olathe, KS — Updated 2026” roundup, consistent with recent operation.⁴
• RestaurantGuru flags the listing “permanently closed” (last review Dec 2024) and shows phone (913) 219-7064 — different from the truck’s (913) 230-0848. This may be a stale or merged listing (possibly a prior fixed-location operation at 2000 E Santa Fe that closed), distinct from the active mobile truck.⁴

To resolve: a phone call to (913) 230-0848 or a Facebook DM to the lapasaditaOlathe page will confirm current pitch location. As of 2026-06-23 registry_status is set active on the strength of the live truck signals above.

Two-phone question — RESOLVED (2026-06-28): The (913) 219-7064 number appearing on RestaurantGuru as “permanently closed” is almost certainly a stale Google Business Profile from an earlier stage of the same truck’s operation, not a separate La Pasadita business. Evidence: (1) the 230-0848 number is consistent across every credible source — Feast Magazine, Johnson County Post, Roadtrippers, Yelp, usarestaurants.info; (2) the 219-7064 appears only in RestaurantGuru, which is known to hold stale GBP data; (3) no evidence anywhere of a distinct separately-named La Pasadita operation in Olathe. Most probable explanation: the truck had the 219-7064 number during an earlier fixed-location stint at 2000 E Santa Fe, changed numbers, and the old GBP was marked “permanently closed” by Google’s inactivity algorithm — not a business closure.⁵
