TACO NACO KC is a chef-driven, community-rooted taquería serving up bold, scratch-made Mexican street food with heart and hustle. What started as a humble pop-up has grown into a multi-location favorite across the Kansas City metro—powered by big flavor, local love, and a fearless approach to food.

Led by Executive Chef and Co-owner Chef Fernanda Reyes, our team brings passion and authenticity to every bite—whether it’s a classic carnitas taco, a plant-based torta, or housemade salsa that slaps.
