New Mexican Restaurant Opens in Brookside

You may have heard a new restaurant has opened in the former Brady and Fox space at 751 E 63rd St…the cuisine is Mexican, it’s locally owned and operated and I stopped by recently to find out more. Welcome to Brookside Muy Caleinte Mexican Grill and Cantina!

Alexa Rivera and Gepsivos Ramos

Two families have teamed up to open this place..actually it’s two father/daughter owner- operators:  Fredy and Alexa Rivera, and Noel and Gepsivos Ramos.  The Ramos team also owns El Plato in Lees Summit.  Alexa and Gepsivos told me they considered a few locations for Muy Caleinte, but decided on this spot because they “wanted to bring something to the community that’s homey and welcoming.  People in this area are very supportive  of small businesses”. The name they chose means very spicy and flavorful…and you’ll find some unique items on the menu that back up that claim.

The tamales are homemade, “made with love” as Alexa says, and come stuffed with chicken, pork, or rice and beans. You can also purchase them by the dozen.  Tacos are deep fried with meat inside and pinned together with toothpicks.  Margaritas, queso and guacamole are made in house and the huge, one pound Caliente burger is served on artisan bread imported from Mexico, with fried jalapenos and a special dressing. On weekends, you can order the quesabirra: shredded beef and cheese dipped in a special broth,  cooked inside  a crispy tortilla on the flattop grill.  Or try the menudo, a type of spicy soup with cow’s tripe and hominy.  Breakfast is served all day.  

Muy Caliente Mexican Grill and Cantina is currently open Monday through Saturday from 10am-9pm; eventually they will open Sundays and add happy hour specials.  Right now they are getting adjusted to the new space and working out the hundreds of details involved with opening a restaurant…still, Alexa and Gepsivos invite you to stop in soon and enjoy a meal on the patio or have a beverage at the bar.  Muy Caliente is at 751 E 63rd St; at the corner of 63rd and Rockhill.

Here we are, halfway through the year and Brookside home sales are not slowing down–every the million dollar plus properties go under contract quickly! Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using the primary Brookside zip code of 64113 for these stats:

june 2025june 2024
Median list price:$685,000$575,000
Median sales price:$725,000$585,000
Days on market:32
No. of homes sold:3325

The median sales price jumped up quite a bit: nearly 24%! We had seven homes sold last month over $1,000,000 which pushed up that median price; in June 2024, just one home closed over a million. The lowest closed price was $345,000 and the highest was $2,050,000. One home on McGee was listed at $685K; it sold for $725,000 sight unseeen.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-june 2025jan-june 2024
Median list price:$625,000$537,475
Median sales price:$635,000$553,500
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:123116

Because there have been so many higher priced homes selling, the median sales price is up 14.7% compared to last year; 6% more homes have sold this year. Is this trend now the norm: most buyers pay list price or above….?

Currently there are 18 homes for sale in the Brookside zip of 64113; median list price is $567,000 and 38 days on the market.

As a Realtor, many buyers tell me they prefer a “walkable neighborhood”, close to shops and restaurants. Brookside is one of the best walkable areas in the KC metro area– and this Thursday June 12 you can stroll the shopping district listening to live, local music as it’s performed on patios and sidewalks during the Brookside Patio Fest.

From 6-10pm, several local businesses are hosting these performing artists for your listening pleasure! The Roasterie, A Store Named Stuff, Charlie Hoopers, Meddy’s and Jalapeno’s and others are participating; many places are offering specials as well. Gather some friends and make a night of it-or just walk over after dinner for an evening stroll to enjoy the tunes. Thanks to the Brookside Business Association for organizing this annual event!
