Missouri’s Must-Try Taco Spot Near the Tri-States

I’ve always said it’s hard to pick the best when it comes to finding the best. How could there be only one winner in the entire state? But apparently, when it comes to tacos, there’s just one place in Missouri you have to try.

Love Food put together a list of the top taco spots in each state, and their pick for Missouri is pretty close to the Tri-States. According to their list, Taco Buddha in University City and Kirkwood is the place to go for the best tacos in Missouri.

Why Taco Buddha Is Missouri’s Top Taco Spot

It’s a mix of Tex-Mex and Cali-Mex classics, with creative twists like Nashville hot chicken, and they switch things up every month with a new special. From green chili, marinated pork to crunchy cabbage, avocado, citrus-pickled red onion, Cotija cheese, and cilantro, there’s always something new to try each time you visit.
