Our Story

Authentic Mexican Cuisine Rooted in Family Tradition, Fresh Ingredients, and a Passion for Community.

¡Bienvenidos a Dos de Oros and Rey de Oros!

Welcome to Dos de Oros and Rey de Oros, where authentic Mexican flavors meet a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. With two locations in Kansas City—Dos de Oros, a full-service restaurant in South Kansas City and Rey de Oros, a vibrant taqueria in Martin City—we’re proud to bring a taste of Zacatecas and Guadalajara to our community.

​

Our story begins with owner Miguel Cervantes, whose passion for cooking was shaped by his parents, who ran restaurants, a bakery, and a grocery store in Mexico. Miguel’s love for fresh, high-quality ingredients and his hands-on experience inspired him to open Dos de Oros in 2005. Together with his wife, Maria Meraz, who manages the front of house with warmth and care, and his brother, Jose "Pepe" Cervantes, the head cook at Dos de Oros, Miguel has created a welcoming space where every guest feels like part of the family.

​

At our South Kansas City location, we offer an expansive menu filled with traditional Mexican favorites, fresh seafood dishes, and even options like burgers and pasta for those seeking variety. Whether you’re craving creamy guacamole, tangy ceviche, or gooey cheese enchiladas, every dish is crafted with care and packed with flavor.

​

In Martin City, Rey de Oros—formerly Dos de Oros Taqueria—offers a fast-casual dining experience featuring street-style tacos, flavorful burritos, and other Mexican staples in a relaxed setting. Since its renaming and relocation in 2024, Rey de Oros has continued to deliver the same quality and freshness our customers love, along with unique touches like our handmade ice cream.

​

What sets us apart is our commitment to freshness, quality, and hospitality. Both locations feature dishes made from scratch, inspired by family recipes passed down through generations. With Maria’s leadership in the dining room and Pepe’s expertise in the kitchen, we’ve cultivated a loyal following of customers who consider us their second home.

​

Whether you join us for a leisurely meal in South Kansas City or a quick bite at Rey de Oros in Martin City, we promise an unforgettable dining experience filled with authentic flavors and friendly service.​
