My son ordered a combo plate that had a burrito/enchilada/taco on it. Your choice of meat, & 1 side, (my son got rice, and a side of refired beans. You can tell the beans were homemade, very tasty.) I ordered the steak street taco dinner. Generous portion of 5 tacos with a side.The service was impeccable. The food was fresh & hot. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming. The only downside, is it doesn't seem very handicap accessible. The entry would be difficult for someone utilizing a wheelchair/walker. Perhaps there is an alternate door we can use? Other than that, it was great service and pretty good food. The steak tacos were a tad bit fatty for my liking, but I'm not complaining by any means. My hubby said he enjoyed the fat on the meat. The chips and salsa were fresh and homemade. They had a variety of salsas which was cool.

My favorite Mexican restaurant & they make you feel like family. Great food, always fresh, located in my favorite gem of a little town. The tilapia fish tacos & adobo shrimp are so good. Great Sunday buffet. This historic building is renovated with some great art Deco details (by a local artist!) while preserving remnants of the past. You can see part of the previous logo for the New Union Hotel inside the West dining room, as well as the stair well that used to lead to the 2nd floor in the East dining room.

During my recent visit, I was truly impressed by the experience. The establishment boasted a chic modern art deco vibe, creating an inviting and stylish atmosphere. The house margaritas stood out as perfection in a glass—not too sweet, not too sour—making for a delightful start to the meal. The chips were a delightful contradiction: warm and both soft and crispy, setting the stage for what turned out to be a memorable dining experience. The chicken street tacos offered commendable flavor, although the meat was slightly on the dry side. However, the highlight had to be the pork tacos, prepared in a delectable pork verde style that surpassed my expectations. Accompanying rice and beans complemented the meal beautifully, adding to the overall satisfaction. A notable mention goes to the restroom facilities, which were impressively clean, reflecting the restaurant's attention to detail in maintaining a pleasant environment. This charming little spot is a must-visit, and I'm eagerly looking forward to sampling their Sunday buffet. It's places like these that remind me why I love exploring new dining experiences!

The best inner city atmosphere in a small town. We had family here from Joplin and they loved the interior. 5 margaritas when we were there to go with good food. Friendly staff that did a good job.

Great food, great atmosphere. The taco buffet was perfect. I will come here again and that’s saying a lot since I live very far away and I’m very picky about my service and food quality.

First time visit, why haven't we been here before now!! Food was phenomenal, atmosphere was fun...chips and salsa were tasty and flavorful...loved that there are salsa options! I got the pork fried tacos, yum...my wife got the pork street tacos. This pork is fantastic. Also received free sopapillas for first time visit. We will make the drive to Mulvane just for this place again...support this hidden gem, they deserve it!

Come here definitely, singles, couples. A family full of bratty kids, you name it. Anyone will have one hell of a good meal and a great time. Atmosphere is an open layout with open ducts and a steampunk warehouse vibe, but the food...the food is the star of the show. Without a doubt recommend the queso Verde, and the street tacos anyway you want them. Plus, some free arcade games, like who does that anymore?!? Seriously, y'all need to be here, and can't forget the awesome wait staff.
