Taco Naco Opening a Second Location

Excerpt from In Kansas City Magazine
Words by Jenny Vergara

In the most satisfying display of good karma and luck seen this year, the chef Fernanda Reyes and her husband and partner, Brian Goldman Ruiz, will open their second Taco Naco location in the former Port Fonda space in Westport. After two years running their popular Overland Park taqueria and Mexican market, Taco Naco, Reyes and Ruiz are looking forward to being a part of Westport’s lively restaurant scene and are ready to introduce their own style of Mexican street food to new customers across the state line in Missouri. Since they are inheriting a full bar inside their new space, they will be adding a full cocktail menu for the first time, featuring tequila, mezcals, and margaritas made with their house-made fresh-fruit margarita mixes to pair with street tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and handmade salsas. Look for the couple to open a food trailer in front of their new location sometime this spring, so they can start feeding people while working on the buildout of the space in preparation for a summer opening.
