About Crossroads Cantina

MexicanHappy hour

Crossroads Cantina brings sunlit, modern cantina fare to the heart of Kansas City's arts district, marrying classic Latin flavors with seasonal Midwestern produce. Expect bright, shareable plates—tacos, ceviches, and wood-fired items—alongside a restless cocktail program and a convivial atmosphere perfect for groups. The design-forward dining room and open energy make it an ideal stop for both pre-show nights and casual weekend gatherings.
