We were running late and trusting the Garmin (as usual) for the shortest/fastest route to Taco Republic which is located Northwest of the Plaza. We were really winding our way around through some awesome looking neighborhoods and somehow spilled out onto Countyline Road in Kansas City, KS. Sounds like a rural area, but it reminded me of Wornall--1960's buildings, busy road, not a lot of character--especially as compared to the lovely neighborhoods we drove through to get there. But Taco Republic is worth the winding roads. Taking our seats with fellow Gassies on a long outdoor picnic table, there was plenty of room for the youngsters to play around in the gravel. I could see the fun was about to begin!
The traffic sound fell away as the conversation became lively (was that after Margarita pitcher #1 or #2???) and later a firetruck stopped at the red light, honked, waved and generally entertained our 3 year old Gassie before the light turned green. All of a sudden, the busyness of the road just seemed charming!
Started out with some nachos that were clearly first rate and chose 3 tacos. Was really excited about the Del Mar fish taco, but alas, it tasted very fishy and I couldn't enjoy it. Loved the S & P tacos and would love to taste several more if I ever find myself in the area again. Extra points for the creativity of the tacos and...just down the road--an ice cream custard shop. Another reason to venture out! Final Score 4 of 5 from Mrs. Ref

Taco Republic
Mr. Ref here, last month we visited Taco Republic and it was a little different, but i liked it. I had (2) S&P tacos and (1) S&P chicken taco, and I would say the chicken taco was my least favorite, but I did enjoy both of the beef tacos. One of the things I really liked about Taco Republic was it was out doors, so it allowed the kids to come and we always enjoy seeing the kids. The chips and salsa was good but not great, but the cheese dip was really good. So even though the food was back and forth, overall I thought it was good and I gave it a 4 out of 5.
I have been very remiss the last few months, so I am going to try to do a better job blogging. September was Taco Republic and it is a small place with outdoor seating. We had perfect weather for the outing and Luke and Hazel were able to join us. The outdoor space provided a nice areaa for Luke to play.
Since Tacos are their main menu items, I wanted to try several and ordered 3. One of the tacos, the S&P, was the Tuesday special and was my favorite of the 3 I ordered. I ate so many chips and appetizers and had a couple margarita's, I had to take my other two home for lunch the next day. The other two tacos were the tecate barbacoa and the Old school, both good, but not as good as the S&P. I give Taco Republic 4.1 and would love to go back, especially if I was in the area.
