Description

Taqueria Jalisco is a casual, street-style taqueria on Central Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. Diners come for tacos on homemade tortillas, quesabirria, and zesty house salsas. Reviewers single out the quesabirria and tacos de asada, and describe hands-on owners working the counter. The same 1259 Central Ave storefront is listed under two names in current sources: Taqueria Los Altos de Jalisco #2 (Yelp, Instagram location tag, Zmenu, Restaurantji) and the shorter Taqueria Jalisco (Facebook, Visit Kansas City KS).¹² The “#2” suffix points to a second location of Taqueria Los Altos de Jalisco at 3719 Saint John Ave in Kansas City, MO. Which name is the primary current signage is not confirmed from a first-party source; both are in active use in 2026.
