The project is a local brick-and-mortar taqueria submitted as a technology project. While the business provides real-world utility (food service) in Kansas City, it lacks scalable technical innovation. The submission contains significant red flags, including hyperbolic audience claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'), misuse of technical tags ('space-technology'), and valid but non-tech-related metrics. The score reflects the disconnect between the submission type and the evaluation criteria for technology projects.

Project Details

Description
TACO NACO KC is a local market and taqueria in Kansas City, MO and Overland Park, KS. We also offer pop-up taquerias and catering throughout the Greater Kansas City Area. We offer gourmet tacos, quesadillas, nachos and fajitas for conferences, company events, business meetings, weddings, anniversaries, family reunions, birthdays, etc. Taco Naco KC is now at the Overland Park Farmers Market. Due to COVID 19, we are now offering Taco Kit and Salsa for contactless pick-up every Saturday morning, so you can have a delicious and authentic Mexican experience right at home with all your loved ones. Every Saturday we will offer a new Taco Kit and a different Salsa. A taco is more than just a delicious handheld food item that everyone craves; a taco is about culture, tradition, passion, expression, and love for Mexico and its contributions to the culinary world. Taco Naco KC tells the story of Mexico and Mesoamerica through its handcrafted dishes creating a relationship based on mutuality, trust and respect with our clients. For us, its not just about making tacos; its about transporting the customer upon their first bite to a magical voyage through time and space, and capture just a small taste of the eternal essence of Mexico.
