Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Although the specialty is Mexican Food they have a very diverse menu. Daily luncheon specials such as prime rib on Wednesday ($6.99!), Country Fried Chicken on Thursday, Italian on Fridays... outstanding!! There is a reason this place has been here for 35 years!! If it wasn't a great place... how did they keep employees for 30+ years!!

Waitstaff are really friendly, reasonable prices in the neighborhood atmosphere.

I was so excited thinking I had found a small hide away, but I was so disappointed. Prices are reasonable, so at least I can start on a positive. The "salsa" tastes like someone opened a can of tomato sauce with Italian seasoning. It has a strange flavor of spaghetti sauce, but it's too weak to defend its reputation. The processed cheese they use is a bland orange concoction that I have no idea what it started as, but it wasn't cheese. The color is kind of fun, if you were a 10 year old into eating weird food. Overall, this place was horribly disappointing, sad, tired and worn out. If you do go there, don't eat the Mexican food, eat something like a chicken fried steak. The Mexican is Mexi CAN'T. But....it is inexpensive.

There are just too many great Mexican restaurants in Kansas City to waste your time or money on this one. The food is edible, but only poor to fair in taste. The interior is dated. Looks like no redo since it first opened 30 to 40 years ago.

This was our second visit in to The Alamo. The first being several years ago. Unfortunately, this was similar to our first experience. We will try any place that we have a coupon. With two young kids this turned out to be a nightmare experience. The place was virtually empty when we arrived so I had hopes we could get some food to entertain the kids. We ordered "Queso Blanco" and waited. Our chips and "salsa" arrived but it tasted more like weak marinara sauce. After almost 30 minutes, our cheese sauce arrived looking and tasting like Velveta and Rotell. It was also just barely warm enough to still be pliable. In the mean time, about 6 tables filled up around us, and got food before us, except for the table next to us (who I managed to see was using a coupon from the newspaper like we were). Once our food finally came it was the last disappointment. I ordered the enchilada which were filled with spicy beef (hamburger). The flavor was not at all Mexican, just spicy. I am always wary of places that toss cheddar cheese, salsa and lettuce over items and call it Mexican food and this re-iterates. My wife could not eat the enchilada, she thought it was that bad. The burrito she also got was beef and pinto beans and not much else. The kids on the other hand enjoyed their food just fine. Though, it is hard to get bad grilled cheese or chicken strips. The wait for the food wore out their patients and with a 5 and 2 year old you can imagine how much fun this was. I read the other two reviews. Maybe the non-Mexican food is decent. I will not chance it. My advice, from my experience and the two reviews here, SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. There are too many restaurant choices to ignore reviews like these. There is a fairly new bar and grill in the same strip mall we should have tried instead.

The Alamo is in the Holiday Hills shopping center at Brighton and Parvin. It's been around probably since the strip mall was invented, and back in the day, they threw out some good food, as is attested from some award/recognition they recieved from the Kansas City Star back when they were good (The 80's?). Nowadays, the Alamo is a mere shell of what it once was. If you remember it from its heyday, that's a good thing, because you can sit (literally) in the same booth that you sat in then, most likely be served by the same waitress as you did then, and drink from the same glass and eat off the....you get the picture. Eating here is more like nostalgia than anything else. I remembered loving the chimichangas, so I ordered up the beef chimi and my girlfriend ordered the fajitas. Chips and Salsa came out, and this was the point at which we should have gotten the check and bolted. Mexican restaurants MUST have good salsa; this was like the water gleened from a can of Rotel tomatoes. The chips were thicker than I prefer, with no flavor of their own. Not a good start. The food arrives, and the chimichanga tastes largely of the grease it was fried in, some of which is puddling up around the plate, maybe as a garnish? The fajitas....well, the meat tastes like barbecue. Nothing traditional about the Mexican food here whatsoever. If you have good memories of the Alamo, leave them be.
