Red Kitchen KC: Cien Por Ciento Mexicana - Overland Park, Kansas

Daniel Salazar

Hands down, the best burritos in town! I tried them as per the chef's recommendation. From the flavorful fillings to the perfectly grilled tortillas, every bite is a burst of deliciousness (I even asked for them a bit extra crispy). The portions are generous, and the service is always friendly. Whether you're a burrito aficionado or just craving a satisfying meal, this place is a must-try! Oh, and don't forget to try their salsa roja if you're a spice lover.

Great chilaquiles here! Tasted very home made. Very easing ordering, just walk up to the kiosk scroll through the menu, select what you want and then pay right there. Food comes out quickly and the staff are very attentive to anything you need while being there.

The chilaquiles al pastor with salsa verde and an extra egg was so delicious! The service was fantastic and I enjoyed sitting outside in the shade. Going to grab a slice of tres leches cake from the to-go fridge. Can’t wait to try it. Definitely recommend stopping here for breakfast when in downtown OP.

For me, the food drives the review. Service and atmosphere are secondary. While the service seemed fine and there isn't an atmosphere at all really. Feels sterile, which is a compliment in a way because it was clean.

Now the food.. I paid $18 for a small plate and a soda. That's quite ridiculous given the size of the plate and the quick-serve type food they have on the menu. That's how much I'd expect to pay at a sit-down restaurant with a fresh cooked meal.

The tamales were good, the beans were a bit over salted and runny, and the rice was so dry that I couldn't physically eat most of it due to the dried out grains of rice being very hard on the teeth.. the rice also lacked flavor. I had high hopes due to good reviews and Facebook comments, maybe 12:30 just isn't a good time?

I likely won't return to this location unless I see major changes in portion size/price and a more standardized approach to quick-serve food. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to keep a lid on the hot pan holding the rice so it doesn't dry out.

This may have been the best burrito I have ever eaten. My wife equally enjoyed the tacos. This is Mexican food that we rarely experience here in the States.

The tamales are also delicious, and, I think, established the Red Kitchens reputation as one of the best restaurants in KC.

Cien por ciento Mexicans (100 percent Mexican) is more than a motto, it’s a promise.

Went in for breakfast. So I'm going to provide some tough but fair feedback.

Let's start with the good. The food is delicious. I ordered the Chilaquiles Rojas with chicken and egg. They were a solid 9.5 of 10 for me. Love the salsa. I like that it has some beans on the side. I could not finish them... so great portion size for price!

Here comes the rough feedback. Organization and service is lacking. The POS system, was not clear how to do chicken and egg on the order so we needed help from an employee.. she also was unsure how to do it. Owner came and help. So the process is just not standardized.... we paid 3 dollars each for coffee that was served in a small part cup. Maybe 6-8 ounces of coffee. I asked to be topped off to be told no problem but they need to make another pot... she never came back. After 15 mins I went to the counter to ask again.... they never brewed the coffee. So they put a pot on. After waiting more we decided to leave... the place is small.. I would highly recommend the business owner to focus on process stardization and efficiency. Have multiple pain points and oversight in a customer experience does not invite a repeat customer client base. Branding also needs some work.

Would I return... yes for some very craveable breakfast items... but continued pain points in service could sway that to a no at some point.

Update: we returned a few weeks later. I'm updating the review to 4 stars as it was a smoother experience this time. They upgraded to having 12 and 16 ounce coffee cups. Both chiliquies and burrito was very delicious. Still a few hiccups in having a smooth customer service experience and I personally think their self checkout point of sale system needs some work. But... delicious food and a very friendly owner that has a passion.

So good! The food was amazing and very fresh, servers were quick and nice. Will def try again, also there's plenty of vegetarian options.

Authentic birria tacos, tamales and burritos!! If you’re in the area, this is the spot you need to stop and visit. We ordered both the chorizo and bacon burritos which had high quality meat. We also had the birria tacos which were the best I’ve had in a very long time. While we were eating, we noticed the ladies in the back were making fresh tamales. Yum!! Alejandra, the owner, was so kind and made us feel right at home. Definitely recommend this place!!
