El Jacalito is a cozy gem in Kansas City! 🌟 The ambiance is casual, making it perfect for a laid-back breakfast or lunch. I had the menudo and it was sublime - rich and flavorful, just like what my mom used to make. The homemade tortillas? To die for! 😍

Do note, it’s cash only, so come prepared! On weekends, it gets busy, especially for that mouthwatering menudo. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican comfort food. Don't miss it! Just be sure to grab a menu to avoid any mix-ups. 🌮✨
