A Missouri-based taco joint has officially closed its doors in Leawood.
As of last month, Session Taco — formerly Mission Taco Joint — no longer has a location in Johnson County.
Session Taco used to be at 11563 Ash St.
- The restaurant occupied a space at the Park Place shopping center, just off 115th Street and Nall Avenue.
- Session Taco occupied that space for roughly two years before its closure.
- Before that, the Leawood space was previously home to the Ainsworth restaurant and sports bar, which closed in 2020.
Session Taco offered “Cali-Mex” inspired fare
- The restaurant’s menu offered a wide variety of tacos, from grilled mahi-mahi and hot fried chicken to mango habanero and portobello.
- In addition to tacos, the restaurant also offered other items like burritos, rice bowls, loaded fries and chips and dip.
- Session Taco is also known for its cocktails, like margaritas, palomas, sangria and daiquiris.
This was the only Session Taco in Johnson County
- Owner Adam Tilford told the Post via email that Session Taco ultimately wasn’t a good fit for where it was, and the Leawood location struggled to keep up sustainable business.
- Though there are no plans to reopen Session Taco anywhere else in Johnson County, Tilford said the same ownership may open a different concept later on in the same Leawood space.
- Meanwhile, Session Taco still has a location in Kansas City, Missouri’s Crossroads district.
