One of the nation's best Mexican restaurants is in KCK, according to NYT

El Pollo Rey was named by The New york Times one of the 41 greatest Mexican restaurants in the country this month, joining the ranks of Michelin-starred restaurants in California, Sonoran-style hot dog joints in Arizona and eateries serving carnitas in New York City. It’s impressive, and many in KC would say it’s an achievement that’s well deserved for the family-run, decades-old restaurant.
