⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Experience at LaPez Mod Mex. Visited on October 5, 2025.
The food was so good, truly palate pleasing! We had the Chicken Mole and Tampiqueña, both full of rich, delicious flavor. We asked to compliment the chef, and Chef J. Sanchez came out to our table to chat.
He shared his story about bringing LaPez Mod Mex to our area for travelers looking for tastes of home; such a genuine and awesome experience! Michelle, our server, and Jennifer, our hostess, were both wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!

I started my visit at the bar while waiting for friends and enjoyed a glass of the red table wine during happy hour — it was smooth and easy to sip. They also served house-made peanuts with an incredible seasoning that really stood out.
Once my friends arrived, the four of us sat outside and received outstanding service from start to finish. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Each of us ordered something different to share, and every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared.
The atmosphere was vibrant and modern — a perfect setting for a casual yet elevated dining experience. We had such a wonderful time at this new, hip spot and can’t wait to go back soon!

Visited this restaurant for Saturday happy hour and was genuinely blown away. We ordered the crab fritters, steak tacos, chips and salsa, margaritas, and finished with the crème brûlée which deserves its own shout-out. I usually find crème brûlée pretty boring, but not their version. It was exceptional.
This is the kind of Mexican restaurant I’ve been waiting for in Kansas City. The flavors were easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere in the city, and the creativity of the menu exceeded my expectations.
Now, the margaritas. Every one is freshly made and shaken with house-made juices boozy enough (in the best way) and not overly sweet. Truly the perfect balance.
I also want to mention our server. I didn’t catch his name, but he was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent service throughout the meal.
I will definitely be making this a regular spot!

The food was excellent. Not your typical “Mexican” restaurant – gourmet Mexican in a casual atmosphere. Terrific flavors. We had the short ribs and the cochinita pibil and both were excellent. A bit pricy but worth it. We will definitely be back. Knocked a star off on atmosphere only because the band was playing and they were great but with hard surfaces it was hard for us to have a conversation over the music. But enjoyed the music.

The food was phenomenal! Great flavors, unique but not too crazy, and good sized portions.
It was a super busy night due to KC restaurant Week, so service was super slow. I would jot hesitate to go back though as it hopefully was a learning experience for them and the food was THAT good.

The atmosphere, the service, and THE FOOD were all so incredible. The dishes weren’t only unique but SO tasty, the location was amazing being right next to the big green space that just happened to be playing a movie. (Making it perfect for date nights or for the whole family) We had the best night & can’t wait to go back and try everything on this menu!

The atmosphere was awesome and we were all SO excited to try this place! I can tell the manager really cares, too.
Our table of 6 was disappointed in the food and even more in the service. We had a reservation at 6:30, sat down immediately & left at 9:20, all because the service was that slow. We asked for our check and it was 32 mins before we got it. We only got 1 round of drinks because she came after the second course and were never visited by our server until after dessert. The flavors weren’t there from any dish that any of us ordered.
Disclaimer – we did go during restaurant week so I’m not sure how that impacted everything. We had been looking forward to coming for a while but we would never go back. It’s unfortunate!

we went for restaurant week and tried the chef menu! everything was absolutely delicious and extremely well-presented; you can tell the kitchen takes a lot of pride in what they do!

Excellent and relatively unique mexican food. I wish there were a few more taco options, but the carne asada and green salsa were absolutely delicious. Service was top notch and the chef even came by and checked in with us.

I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience absolutely earned one.
From the moment we sat down, the service was a disaster. It took 20 minutes just to order a drink, and this is after I went up to the bar to flag down our waitress, and then another 15 to receive it. No acknowledgment of the ridiculous wait time. No “thanks for your patience.” Just silence.
Then came the main event: we waited over an hour for our food. An hour. At a Mexican restaurant. With zero updates from our waitress until we flaggedher down. No check-ins. No explanation. No effort to reset expectations or offer chips, salsa, or anything to smooth over the delay. It felt like we were completely forgotten.
When the food finally arrived, there was still no sense of urgency or accountability. No manager stopped by. No attempt at course correction. Not even a simple “I’m sorry for the wait.” It was as if this level of service was perfectly acceptable.
Dining out is about more than just food, it’s about hospitality and hospitality was nowhere to be found here. Long waits happen, kitchens get backed up but indifference is inexcusable.
If you value your time, basic communication, or even a hint of customer service, dine somewhere else.
