Overview
Carnitas, Al Pastor, Asada & Birria
The KCK Taco Trail is the Kansas City, Kansas taco tour built for people who love to eat. Each Tuesday the bus visits 4 of the city's 67 taquerias. You get one taco at every stop and you judge each one.
Every week has a theme. Best of the Best brings a mixed lineup of carnitas, al pastor, asada and birria. Carnitas night goes deep on slow-cooked pork. You taste, compare and argue over a winner with the rest of the bus.
Between stops, kick back on board with 40" flat-screen TVs, a big sound system and coolers for your BYOB drinks. Seats are $39.99 per rider. It is the easiest Kansas City, Kansas taco tour to say yes to, and the Red Machine earned the 2024 KCK Chamber Tourism Award of the Year.
