Edgar Galicia has eaten at pretty much every Mexican spot in KCK. Here are his favorite dishes.

Edgar Garcia Kansas CityIn our May issue, we set out to try every highly recommended Mexican spot in Kansas City, Kansas.

Along the way we had everything from amazing deshebrada tacos to Mexican-style barbecue and burgers.

And yet, there’s so much else to try. You could spend the next year sampling Mexican restaurants in KCK and still have boxes left to check.

We sat down for lunch with Edgar Galicia of the Central Avenue Betterment Association to get his picks. Over lunch at Taqueria 7 Leguas he shared his bucket list of must-try dishes. Here’s his list.
