Los Machetes Taqueria

Los Machetes Taqueria is a Mexican taqueria at 3009 Strong Ave in the Argentine neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas, named for the machete — a foot-plus-long folded quesadilla — which it serves alongside tacos, quesadillas, and taco plates.¹²

Description

Los Machetes Taqueria sits on Strong Avenue, the commercial spine of the Argentine neighborhood in southwest Kansas City, Kansas.¹ Its calling card is the machete, a roughly 33-inch folded quesadilla on a single long tortilla — the al pastor version, made with marinated pork and fresh toppings, is the one reviewers most often name.² The kitchen also turns out taco plates (three tacos with a choice of meat, served with refried beans and rice), smaller authentic quesadillas with fillings such as huitlacoche and flor de calabaza, and complimentary chips with warm salsa (medium, hot, and mild salsa verde).²

The taqueria is open Tuesday through Sunday and closed Mondays, with hours of 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.¹³
