Chelly's Café

218 W. 85th St.
Kansas City, MO 64114
816-237-1110
Young restaurateurs Chelly and Ruben Campos started out with a cantina of the same name in Grandview but recently moved their business to this larger South Kansas City location. It’s a brightly colored space where the Campos serve inexpensive but tasty Mexican-American cuisine in a casual, no-frills style. This is one of the few Mexican-American restaurants that offers two kinds of guacamole: the traditional, mashed-avocado variety and an oddball innovation called “avocado dip” and made with sour cream that’s the same color as a 1974 Maytag dishwasher. Yes, you can order a frosty margarita or a mangotini (a martini made with mango-flavored liqueur) to sip along with your carne asada (grilled steak with sautéed onions and peppers) or the Louisiana-influenced Jambalaya ˆ la Everything, but most diners come in for the basic tacos, burritos and cold brew. - Charles Ferruzza
