I’m not usually a taco-lover. But I’m now a believer and quite in love with KC Taco Co. in the River District of Kansas City, right next to the City Market (another favorite of mine). We happened upon these gem this summer. I love places with authenticity and originality. Parked outside of this quaint and cozy restaurant is the owner’s bus. The indoor mural shows a replica of the bus with one of my favorite sayings, “Bloom where you are planted.” Sunflowers and other lively decor add to this happy theme.
The menu is divine and you can mix and match taco styles and fillings. Thai Chili Shrimp might be my favorite and the crispy tortilla complements it very well. My favorite thing on the menu is the Watermelon Mojito (served in a mason jar), I have to say. It’s a perfect way to start or end your morning or afternoon of strolling through the City Market. 
Head up to and buy a vintage cap now that you’re loosened up and satiated on mojitos and delicious tacos. What could be better than that?
