Love this local place. Always friendly service. The food is so good. Mexican tacos (street tacos) are authentic, flavorful and the carne asada cooked perfectly. The special today was chicken soup, omg delicious, just the right spice and so much chicken. Don’t expect the regular small bowl of soup you get at others places, no, it was a huge bowl! Amazing!

Nice little place to eat. Crispy chips, rice is cooked pretty good, refried beans are good too. Tacos are crispy with well seasoned beef. Spicy salsa was really good.

My burrito tasted great and service was fast.
However I believe they over charge. I ordered Chipotle chicken, lunch burrito (10$) and a kids meal (8$). Total was 45$ didnt seem right.

I Always get street tacos and othet food from their food truck that parks at the gas station on 87th Street but I’ve been sick and needed some spicy soup so decided to try their weekend menudo at their brick and mortar on Main Street in Grandview . Its so good.

Really good Mexican food. To date, we have been there 3 times, the last time with friends. We will continue to return. So far we have had the cheese enchiladas and chicken fajitas. Both are great. Portions are large, prices are reasonable and the food is great. Ask for some hot salsa to mix with their regular salsa to give it some zing. Great place for Mexican food. Highly recommend. Update: been there too many times to count. The Chicken Fajitas are the absolute best! I’ve had Chicken Fajitas all over the country and you won’t find any better! Generous portion, large size pieces of tender chicken. Onions and green peppers are nice size too. Covered in a blanket of salsa. Who else does that? Awesome! Served sizzling to your table $15.99, enough for two people. The fajitas also come with tortillas, rice, refried beans, pico, guacamole, sour cream and grated white cheese. I ask you, where else serves fajitas with all these sides? Please El Alteno, do not change a thing! Keep up the good work and you will have us dining there for life! Our favorite Mexican restaurant! You must go there, you will not be disappointed!

My mom and I stopped here on a road trip. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful! The service was friendly and efficient. We were very pleased with everything. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely stop here.

Very good extra full chicken chimichanga! The flavors are not like all the other Mexican restaurants that normal don’t taste great, or all taste the same, these guys taste better than the average Mexican restaurants! The beans were terrific!

I ordered quesabirria tacos togo and they were the absolute best tacos i have ever had. First time here and im so upset i just now discovered this place, staff was so kind and the inside looks cute. I asked for no onions as well and it was no problem. Came with free chips and salsa! 10/10 I will be back❤️❤️

What a gem!! This place looks like a hole-in-the-wall and could be easy to pass by, BUT DON’T!!! This place will be my KC go-to for Mexican cuisine. It was outstanding!! The food was unbelievable, and priced so low it is almost unfair. The folks were really great, and we will certainly be back. I have a lot of family in KC, and they will be in my list to tell about El Alteno.

I am writing this review after being here on multiple occasions. I have had a different items each time. This last time in on 10.27.25 i had the Carne Asada and Shrimp combo. It like my previous selecting was very good and will certainly be an order again item. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. The location is also convenient right on Main street. If you haven’t been, you need to go. If you have been you know what a gem this place is.
