New Mexican Restaurant Opens in Downtown Kansas City

Previously, the location was occupied by an artisanal macaroni and cheese restaurant. [translate: A Kansas City Mexican eatery, once a ghost kitchen, is opening its first brick and mortar spot.] Streats, known for its street tacos, birria tacos, and ramen, has opened a downtown Kansas City location.

The restaurant is now operating inside the high-rise at 1111 Main St, taking over the ground-floor space previously home to KC Mac ‘N Co. This building is one of two office towers known as the Skyline Collection, which also features restaurants like Jason’s Deli, Banksia, and Fat Bee Cafe.

“We’re thrilled to bring Streats to the Skyline Collection,” said founders Ashton Shelby and Tony Gordon in a press release. “We love being part of the fabric of Kansas City, and we’re excited to expand into downtown to serve the business community and visitors alike with the bold flavors we’re known for.”

Menu Highlights

Before opening this location, Streats operated within the Crossroads Food Stop ghost kitchen, a space that hosted various eateries before closing this summer. KC Mac ‘N Co., the artisanal mac and cheese restaurant, originally opened in the Parlor food hall in 2021 and relocated to the Skyline Collection two years later but has been closed for several months with no indication of reopening elsewhere.

Summary: Streats transitions from a ghost kitchen to a physical downtown Kansas City restaurant, offering bold Mexican flavors in a vibrant new location at the Skyline Collection.
