I live in Kansas City and I worked at IN-A-TUB back in 1983 my junior year in high school. IN A TUB actually started on North Cherry Street In a lady's house and it didn't start with tacos. She sold a loose meat sandwich she called a Pocket Burger to kids after school. A guy that worked for her bought it after it moved up into a tiny building on N Oak Trafficway. And the menu was huge. You walked in and placed your order at one window and picked it up at another, there was no seating. There were a bunch of metal picnic tables and chairs outside and it was "The Hang out!" place. for High School kids. When I worked there it was 10 times better than now. We used real lard in every menu item that was fried. It was family owned and run and they sold a few franchises in Antioch shopping Mall, Blue Springs, and a place near where you ate in Parkville. It was as close as you could get to a movie like Porky's in the 50s as you could get. A friend of mine I grew up with and worked there with actually bought a franchise and opened a location in Midtown Kansas City. I had a lot of fun working there and we were all like a family. We closed down a few times due to snow and went across the street to Water Works Park to ride sleds and tube. Many of us were into ATVs and 4 wheel drive trucks and now and then we would go ride on the Kansas River. Since I worked there I cooked a million pounds of hamburger and remembered the recipe and make them at home every now and then. I see and stayed friends with the main son that ran everything. I am sure he is still alive, he'd be about 71 I think.
oh yeah, i remeber those meat and cheese , 3 of em, and a pocketburger/ for here:? lol n metronorth, lmao, havent looked back since, tearing them up weekly on n. oak!!! best malyt also..never, never, never had an onion ring, but will be, all my friends, flipped on the fried okra:)
I fell in love with In-A-Tub when I discovered them when I was 16 and moved to the northland. Now that I'm almost 60, I still live 5 minutes from one and go there quite often. Great tacos!!!
@@styxkc if I had found In-A-Tub when I was 16, I would almost certainly still be living close by. The taco's were quite simple, yet amazing! Thanks for checking out the video.
In- A -Tub makes the best tacos,I’ve been eating them for 60 years love the place . I Used to go to their original drive in that was about three blocks down the road when I was In high school. It’s just one of the hidden gems scattered around K.C. that the locals know about. Glad you got to discover them for yourself , next time your in town try Hayes Hamburgers and Chili they’ve been in business since 1955 best smash burgers around . Bon appétit !
In -A-Tub ROCKS!!! Closest thing to the ones my mom made! Love Em! True story...local place here in KC is 54th Street. Good Tacos, original place was next to a Hy-Vee. Taco Tuesdays I would drop by Hy-vee, pick up a family size box of Mac n Cheese. Open the package walking out of the store, dump the pasta and box. Take the package of powered cheese to 54...before long I would be passing the powdered cheese package around the bar.
Next time try their burrito and dip the tacos with ranch! I'm lucky with my tub is in walking distance. But my friends Mexican restaurant is in the same area. Glad you gate tub a shot. There used to be one in every mall in the KC area.
They are great!! The best Street Tacos in the US is also here in KC! Carniceria y Tortilleria San Antonio (also known as San Antonio’s) is AMAZING!!! The best carne Asada & Al Pastor tacos ever!!
@@susan_elizabeth it's a little off the beaten path, if you weren't looking for it... But now you know. Definitely give them a try on your next visit to KC. Thanks for checking out the video.
Sounds like KC is ground zero for Deep fried Tacos and powdered cheese! I had no Idea. I may have to spend a couple days in KC and eat deep fried tacos! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add Rudy's to my list.
@@SwanseaTitanFan they are definitely worth a try. I had every intention on stopping during my return trip, but we passed by in the wee hours of the morning. I have been craving them ever since!
I don't know man.. those "mid af" fried taco's really hit the spot. I'm not familiar with El Potro, but I have enjoyed a couple of burrito's from Abelardo's. If they have fried taco's I'll be needing to hit them up again pretty soon.
@@MrCoors68 from my perspective it was $10 well spent. I enjoyed the tacos and onion rings emencely. But I have also been accused of having an uneducated palette...🤣

Pocket bugers where a staple I miss them and there deep fried burritos.

Love this place and Taco Via. Every time I visit my folks I stop into both places. Thanks for reviewing!
You are welcome, it was my pleasurer to eat tasty tacos. I'll have to look up Taco Via next time I'm in KC.
Love Taco Via!

@@donaldpiper9763 I'll definitely put Hayes on my list. I really enjoyed my tacos. Thanks for checking out the video.
I also have been going to the original In-A-Tub since the early 60's. We still go today. They are awesome.
In a tub tacos are one of the best comfort foods in Kansas City. Extremely satisfying.

@@cargoman7045 The taco's and ranch is right up my alley. Will definitely try it next time.
Yes! I love those things The cheese is a difference maker.
They are great!! The best Street Tacos in the US is also here in KC! Carniceria y Tortilleria San Antonio (also known as San Antonio’s) is AMAZING!!! The best carne Asada & Al Pastor tacos ever!!
I've ate In A Tub since they were in Metro North and Antioch Mall.....
Then You know how awesome those tacos are!
Look like the old Jack In The Box tacos from the 70's. Burger King had deep fried tacos as a limited promo for $1 a few years ago. I LOVE THEM!
Next time in KC, try Jalapenos deep fried tacos! South Overland Park. Yummmmmmm
Looks delicious
That brings back childhood memories
These tacos are legit!
Super Tacos!!
@@DG-uw6wx Yes!
I have been eating fried tacos for many many years at 'snack shack' in belton missouri.
Great video Mr I’m!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
I was just in KC 2 weeks ago! How did I miss this place?
@@susan_elizabeth it's a little off the beaten path, if you weren't looking for it... But now you know. Definitely give them a try on your next visit to KC. Thanks for checking out the video.
I'm pretty sure In-A-Tub puts crack in their tacos, because they are wickedly addictive. Their pocket burgers are awesome as well.
@@WarBeasty I have to say, ever since I had those tacos all I can think about is eating more of those crispy powdered cheese TACOS.
Tacos so small you gotta get 10 or more to fill up
@@MikeyK-fn3ng Not the biggest around, but man were they good!
I use go to the one in Gladstone during the 80s. Their tacos are good, but greasy as heck.
You should have tried Snack Shack in Belton Missouri near Kansas city. They have the best fried tacos ever.
@@rickeybradley2635 I have not heard of the Snack Shack, thanks for the recommendation. It's on my ever growing list. 🌮🌮😋
Most mexicans used parmesean cheese. Next time try Rudy's Tenampa on Westport Rd. Awesome deep fried tacos. Kansas City, Mo.
Sounds like KC is ground zero for Deep fried Tacos and powdered cheese! I had no Idea. I may have to spend a couple days in KC and eat deep fried tacos! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll add Rudy's to my list.
Come to Belton, Missouri and try Snack Shack tacos!
@@acdve1 it's on My list. Lots of recommendations for the Snack Shack.
Some of the best munchies in KC!
Many places in KC have fried tacos.
@@shakazulu365 that's what I have heard. I didn't know KC was a hot bed of fried tacos, until I posted this video. Thanks for watching.
Snack Shack deep fried tacos in Belton are even better than in a tub's
@@chriss8718 that's what I've heard. I'll definitely have to hit it up next time I'm in KC.
powder cheese business must be booming!
I'm Bruce. And I don't have stupid facial hair.
Bruce I'm glad you liked the Video! I'm happy to hear about your facial hair, or lack there of...🧔🤣
But are they as good as Jack in the Box?
I really like Jack in the Box tacos, but these were so much better.
I’ll have to try them the next time I’m in Kansas city.
@@SwanseaTitanFan they are definitely worth a try. I had every intention on stopping during my return trip, but we passed by in the wee hours of the morning. I have been craving them ever since!
In a tub is mid af id rather have fried tacos from el potro or Abelardos
I don't know man.. those "mid af" fried taco's really hit the spot. I'm not familiar with El Potro, but I have enjoyed a couple of burrito's from Abelardo's. If they have fried taco's I'll be needing to hit them up again pretty soon.
@@gordontodayim yep Abelardos fried tacos are 5 for 5.95 on Tuesdays they have them soft and hard as well either beef or chicken
TBF, that's a really bad comparison. One is unique, and the other more authentic.
@@howiesjourney in-A-Tub, definitely unique. And quite tasty!
@@gordontodayim absolutely!
In-a-tub is not like any tacos anywhere. Yes, there are tacos elsewhere but will NEVER taste like a in- a Tub.
@@doloreslimpic7000 Well said!
you literally paid $10 for no food........... what a rip off.
@@MrCoors68 from my perspective it was $10 well spent. I enjoyed the tacos and onion rings emencely. But I have also been accused of having an uneducated palette...🤣
We need a Jack in the box in Delaware!!!
