Supermart El Torito is a full-line Mexican and Latin American grocery, carnicería, and in-store taqueria at 1409 Central Ave, Kansas City, KS 66102 — a one-stop for marinated meats, produce, pantry staples, and hot food to go. A Topeka sibling store is first-party; this page is the Central Avenue KCK location only.1234

Description

Supermart El Torito operates at 1409 Central Avenue in the Central Avenue Corridor of Kansas City, Kansas — the concentrated stretch of Latino-owned groceries, bakeries, and taquerias that has defined the neighborhood for decades. The operator’s own site lists a full meat market, seafood, freshly made tortillas, bakery, deli, produce, grocery, and a Mexican Kitchen (Taqueria) described as a full-service restaurant of authentic Mexican dishes.1 The restaurant sits next to the store and publishes tacos, burritos, soups, chiles rellenos, fajitas, and enchiladas as the house range, for dine-in or takeaway.5

The Visit KCK tourism bureau lists it as a neighborhood favorite in the Quindaro and Kensington Park areas.3 Kansas City Magazine’s Mexican-markets guide (2026) describes the same banner as a one-stop with meat market, tortillas, bakery, deli, produce, and a taqueria, operating in KCK and Topeka.6

Ownership and history

Ownership and founding year are. The business operates under the corporate identity “Supermart El Torito” and publishes two first-party webs: the live Wix site at supermarteltorito.com / en.supermarteltorito.com, and a Weebly host at supertorito.com (HTTP 200; no NAP in static HTML on 2026-08-26).17 A first-party Topeka sibling is published at 3000 NW Topeka Blvd, Topeka, KS 66617, store phone (785) 783-8180 — not this page.2

Disambiguation

Do not conflate:

  • This page — Supermart El Torito / in-store Taqueria El Torito, 1409 Central Ave, Kansas City, KS 66102.
  • el-torito — phantom Registry page at 3100 Minnesota Ave (closed / unconfirmed). Not this store.
  • El Torito Grill, 1304 Central Ave, Kansas City, KS 66102 (eltoritogrillkc.com) — a separate grill restaurant. The grocery homepage links it as a sibling concept (“the quality and flavor that you already know from our restaurants within Supermart El Torito in a new concept”). Grill menu is not imported here.
  • lluvia-panaderia-tortilleria, 1310 Central Ave — some listings wrongly put Lluvia at 1409. Do not steal Lluvia’s bakery menu or merge the two.
  • Topeka sibling — 3000 NW Topeka Blvd. Same banner; separate store. The Square catalog on taqueriaeltorito.com also contains a Topeka | Yearly Menu tree. Default /s/order categories match the KCK | Yearly Menu tree (including Caldos del Dia, which Topeka’s tree does not use). Topeka SKUs are not imported.
  • eltoritotaqueria.com — Kansas City MO WordPress taqueria. Unrelated.
  • National El Torito chain (California / Real Mex) — no KC-area locations; unrelated.

Two first-party priced surfaces, both walked 2026-08-26:

  1. Grocery / carnicería / food-to-go on the Wix storefront. Pickup address is printed: 1409 Central Avenue, Kansas City, KS 66102. Food-to-go is complete (20 items, all $/lb unless noted). Weekly offers (9) are the current week’s specials and will rotate. The butcher / seafood / deli / cheese catalog is ~135 additional priced SKUs on the same storefront — not transcribed in full; URL is the source of record.89
  2. In-store taqueria on Square Online at taqueriaeltorito.com, linked from the operator homepage as “Taqueria El Torito KC - Online Ordering” and from /restaurante as the Kansas City MENU. The yearly card is large (347 /product/ URLs on the domain, mixing KCK and Topeka). This pass captured 8 core PDPs plus first-party similar-item prices from those PDPs. That is not the whole yearly menu, which is why this page is partial rather than verified.1015

DoorDash / Uber / Grubhub prices are excluded. restauranteltorito.com was not used (no 1409 address on fetch). order.online Topeka storefront was not used.
