El Tucán Authentic Mexican Cuisine

In a city overflowing with Mexican restaurants—trust me, I’ve visited them all—there’s one family-run spot that’s in a league of its own. I’m always on the hunt for authentic Mexican food that doesn’t cut corners on quality, and this family has absolutely nailed it. They bring generations of recipes to life, offering generous portions at prices that match the market, without ever sacrificing the love and care in every dish. This little family has brought back a treasure to Blue Springs, and if you want to taste real, authentic Mexican food served with heart, you need to try them. They used to run a successful business here before.They had to shut their doors to Covid. Now they are back fully rebranded. El Tucan, Mexican Cuisine off of 7hwy. We were the last group and the service was like w

Disappointed, plenty of room for improvement. First the place is very clean and the staff is friendly and prompt. There were three adults and a 3yo. I ordered a raspberry margarita and there was so much ice I would estimate 6-7 oz of product. I honestly do not think there was any alcohol whatsoever in it. It tasted just like raspberry lemonade. Wife tried it and agreed, no alcohol. The meal promptly came and looked good. I had the Burrito Ranchero which was to have beef, beans and rice with sour cream and guac. The burrito was 95% rice, very little 'beef' mixed in and the beans were just in the middle and maybe a table spoon worth if that. Again it was 95% rice (for $15.99). Wife had taco salad which we both agreed was, well...the picture speaks for itself. Daughter had the chimichanga whi

Thick warm chips, chunky salsa. Salsa didn't have much heat/spice, in fact almost tasted sweet, but it grew on me. I ordered the street tacos. You get 5 tacos, 3 probably would have done me. It also came with a bean soup. It had beans and boiled bacon and looked like it might have had cut up Vienna sausages in it Also, it's either chicken or carne asada, you can't split the order between the two meat choices. It had beans, peppers, boiled bacon and what looked like cut up Vienna sausages in it. It was very tasty. The wait staff was friendly and helpful.

My wife and I have been here several times and each time it seems like the quality is degrading with each visit. The meal I ordered came with beans and rice. The beams were stale and just tasted like old grease. The rice was good as long as it wasn't touched by the beans. The main part of the meal was luke warm but at least tasted very good. The plate was hot but the food was barely warm. This has been the case for the last 3 visits. My wife ordered a meal and she had the same complaints old tasting beans, she said her rice was stale, her main course was warmer than mine. Disappointed as when we first came in the food was great fresh food hot food this is why we keep trying to come back to see if this place can capture that feeling. After this visit I think we will pass. There are other pl
