Taco en Boca is TACO NACO KC’s exclusive private dinner series, curated by Chef Fernanda Reyes. Each one-night-only event celebrates Mexican culture through a multi-course dining experience paired with craft cocktails and fine wines. Featuring collaborations with some of Kansas City’s most talented chefs and bartenders, the series blends tradition with innovation, offering guests an unforgettable evening of food, music, and community.

It is a break from the daily grind, a chance to let loose, experiment, and cook without rules or menus. It’s where food turns into freedom, a place to reconnect with the love for cooking, explore bold flavors, catch up with friends in the industry, and share laughs with people who live and breathe the kitchen just like you.

The magic is in the unknown: you don’t know what’s on the menu, what drink you’ll have, or who you’ll sit next to, and that’s what makes it unforgettable. Like live theater compared to film, Taco En Boca has the thrill of the moment: pure improvisation, pure creativity, and an experience you can’t find anywhere else.

Hosted by Chef Fernanda Reyes, Día del Grito is more than a dinner, it’s a celebration of community, culture, and the diversity that makes America beautiful.

Due to the nature of this special event, we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies.

With support from Patrón Tequila and Ilegal Mezcal.
