Fast-casual Mexican eatery Tortilla Ranch closes in Mission

Share this story:

A local Mexican restaurant has closed its doors in Mission after roughly two years in business.

Fast-casual Mexican eatery Tortilla Ranch recently closed its Mission location permanently, according to signage at the restaurant.

Tortilla Ranch occupied a space at 6029 Metcalf Ave.

  • The restaurant operated at the Mission Commons shopping center, near Chick-fil-A and Crumbl.
  • Tortilla Ranch opened there in late 2022, replacing fast-casual Asian eatery Ni Hao Fresh at the time.
  • Employees at Tortilla Ranch’s Overland Park location said the closure happened last month, citing the owners’ desire to focus entirely on the remaining location.
  • “We are deeply grateful for your support and loyalty over the years,” said a sign on the Mission restaurant’s doors on Wednesday. “Thank you for being a part of our journey.”

Tortilla Ranch still has one location left

  • The restaurant’s original location operates at 8617 College Blvd. in Overland Park.
  • That location opened roughly a decade ago, serving fast-casual fare like tacos and burrito bowls.
  • Employees at that location say it will remain open for now.

Mission has a seen lot of recent business turnover

  • Nearby, Mexican eatery Jose Pepper’s also intends to close its Mission location soon — as an effort to focus on the opening of its sister concept Cactus Grill in Lenexa, according to company officials.
  • Bar and grill Applebee’s also recently closed its Johnson Drive location, along with the rest of its remaining locations across Johnson County.
  • As far as new arrivals, vegan bakery and cafe Mud Pie Bakery plans to open soon on Johnson Drive — across the street from a new Popeye’s currently undergoing construction.
