It started as a food truck. Now it’s a Johnson County Mexican place with tacos, more

Chilakillers — a new Mexican food vendor — is now open in the Lenexa Public Market.

The name plays off a prominent menu item, chilaquiles, and the restaurant also serves tacos, tortas, nachos, quesadillas, flautas, arroz con leche and other Mexican favorites.

The stall is in the food hall at 8750 Penrose Lane, in the Lenexa City Center area.

Chef Fernando Borrego first opened Chilakillers as a food truck in 2022.

“We are excited to have a bigger space to create new dishes and offer specials, showcasing the culinary creativity and expertise that sets us apart,” Borrego said in a press release.

Chilakillers will be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 3p.m. Sundays.

The Lenexa Public Market , which opened in 2017, offeres several vendors in its 11,000 square-foot space. Other merchants include Mr. D’s Coffee, Cardboard Cafe and Cosmo Burger.
