I grew up on Taco Via, and still love it. The sauce is the (not so) secret: it's spicy and peppery and I can drink it straight. But the tacos, nachos and tostadas are good even without sauce. The taco meat is seasoned nicely, the tostadas are a messy treat, and the crispy flat nachos, covered with melted cheese, sauce and diced jalepenos, are to die for. That is, when everything comes out hot. The best time for that is probably the lunch hour. But even when it comes out lukewarm, a generous slathering of that delicious sauce makes it very tasty anyway. Bad Taco Via is better than good Taco Bell any day.
I haven't heard anyone mention the old Shawnee (Quivira Plaza) location yet, which was where I got hooked on Taco Via 30+ years ago. Now the only worthwhile Taco Via is the 95th and Antioch location. The others shove Christianity in your face with Ten Commandments placemats, religious music, etc.
Pro tip: Amigos in Kansas City, KS has some Taco Via-like items on their menu, if you're ever in the area.
Tax evasion will get everybody. Piss poor owners who didn't care about anybody but the immediate dollar. Glad to see it is closed.
Not Surprised one bit. Bad Ownership.

Great neighborhood atmosphere, but the food was never consistent. I will miss it.
Btw, Bender - just an fyi - they also own Conroy's on 95th and Nall. Pretty similar to the Gaf.
YES.
Kansas City, missouri:
1) around downtown, there are some "downtown ambassadors",
some liar hater criminals of "banana chief" mr. Tubss, harassing me.
2) THE MAYOR DON'T EEVEN HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT WHAT A POLITICIAN IS,
I KNOW HIS BOSSES MIGHT BE JUST RACIST HATERS, BUT politicians
should have sense of the honor and defend the poor and vulnerable
people, not the powerful haters, as A GOOD MENTAL SLAVE.
3) THE GOVERNOR? THAT IS An inept MORON ROBOT.
4) DOWNTOWN COUNCIL? A BUNCH OF CORRUPT IDIOTS, FIRST
THEY SHOULD LEARN WHAT A DOWNTOWN IS...WELL, AS I ADVICED THEM,
RENAME THIS AS "KANSAS SHITTY, MISERY"...INCLUDING SPRIRITUAL
AND HUMAN MISERY...the real misery is being an ignorant mental slave hater...
Beer-the cause AND cure of all our problems.
Methinks thou art a shithead, AND I've got your Blue Moon. Right here.
I tried the porchetta at Pigwich outside of the Local Pig butcher shop recently--highly recommended. I plan on working through the rest of the sandwiches on the menu soon!
MCI was ranked best small airport by two different magazines why spend over a billion dollars to ruin it!! And rando who do you think pays the majority of the fees that the airport runs on for flights in and out of MCI Kansans, you might want to get your shit together and maybe replace 200 year old sewer systems instead of bitching about Kansas and spending money best spent else where.
That Ultimate Warrior one would be great.
I'll comment on what I'd like to see on this property. I don't mind retail, but I want it small, primarily-local, and something that works within the existing community.
I also don't mind a senior center, but not a taking-up-every-square-inch-of-the-property kind. The Tutera group, if feels to me, wants to build too far into the corners of the property, when most of us in PV moved here bc of the green space. How about encompassing a public-friendly green space/trail that could be used by the seniors AND the public?
REgarding this property, I am mostly (and hugely) disappointed the now retired (thankfully!!) Gene Johnson, SMSD superintendent, forbid the property from being sold to other schools, to prevent competetion with SMSD. That is ridiculous and self-serving, but water under the bridge. That would have been the absolutely BEST solution for this property.
Dracula - quit breathing out of your mouth.
Sounds like you're ok with genocide.
Another few mosques were bombed in Iraq. Sunni terror against Shia. Funded by Qatar! Hey so is...
LOOKS GREAT TO ME!
Oh its just for bragging rights and insider deals with construction companies bidding for the contracts. Sneaking a light rail 100 million dollar tax thats going to cost more money than told, now they want to shake up the airport. Do it with private investment if you have to. Tax this, tax that, over and over good grief.
Its actually a nicely made network. Its like the Fox News of a different continent. Popular, lots of money, covering stories people want to see.
MISSION VALLEY DEVELOPMENT – Update since May 7th Planning Commission Meeting
“Mission Chateau will be just like Santa Marta (Olathe, KS),” stated John Peterson, attorney for the Tutera Group (Mission Chateau proposed beds for 450 on 18 acres, whereas Santa Marta has 342 beds on 45.48 acres).
DENSITY and BULK
*The proposed Mission Chateau is 387,244 square feet of building on 18 acres. This is 42% larger than what is allowed in a medium density apartment complex in Johnson County (220,600 square feet).
*The Proposed Mission Chateau is 21,122 square feet per acre. In comparison, Corinth and Corinth South are only 11,902 square feet per acre.
*The proposed Mission Chateau would have the second largest single residential building in Johnson County nearly the length of two football fields laid end to end - facing Mission Road.
SKILLED NURSING FACILITY
*The proposed 100 bed Skilled Nursing Facility proposed on this site has 20% fewer beds than St Luke’s South Hospital. In comparison Santa Marta, has only 32 skilled nursing facility beds.
*A Skilled Nursing Facility is a non-acute care hospital with physicians and nurses caring for patients of all ages that aren’t able to stay in the hospital but cannot return to their own home. A skilled-nursing facility is not a nursing home.
AGE AND POPULATION
*Only 4% of the age and income qualified population ever move into a CCRC (Continued Care Retirement Community).
*Only 25-30% of the current PV retirement facilities are PV residents.
*Greater Prairie Village would have 22 residents for every senior bed available; Johnson County has 68 residents for every senior bed available.
DEPRECIATION IN HOME VALUES
*Depreciation occurs within a several block radius of a project. Those property taxes total $406,000 a year combined. A professional real estate appraiser has determined that home values would fall at least 10% which would equate to a loss of property taxes greater than $40,000 to the City.
*The complex is estimated to generate only $112,000 a year in property taxes at the current density. With extra city expenses expected to be incurred, there would be minimal monetary value to the city funds (this is assuming they don’t apply for a not-for-profit status).
GOLDEN FACTORS: The Supreme Court of Kansas decided in 1978 - Donald Golden v. The City of Overland Park; eight factors a zoning body must consider when hearing requests for change.
1)The character of the neighborhood; 2) The zoning and uses of properties nearby; 3) The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted; 4) The extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property; 5) The length of time the subject property has remained vacant as zoned; 6) The gain to the public health, safety, and welfare by the possible diminution in value of the developer's property as compared to the hardship imposed on the individual landowners; 7) The recommendations of a permanent or professional planning staff; and 8) The conformance of the requested change to the city's master or comprehensive plan.
