At best, it's passingly fair. At worst, it's genuinely terrible. I've eaten here a few times over the years and I can't say that I've ever felt great about the decision.
I'm writing this review because I had the worst dining experience of my life here recently. The food was inedible - my "enchiladas" were unseasoned, microwaved spinach and uncooked onions in a room temperature tortilla doused in batch queso. Our server was nice but untrained - she disappeared after taking our orders without refilling drinks, checking on how we were enjoying the food (we weren't), etc. It genuinely felt like we were on a 2000's-style prank show with a cash prize for politely enduring a crappy meal.
With the exception of Xaboo Mephaa, Lee's Summit doesn't have solid options for Mexican food. That said, anywhere else would be a better option.

This was not a good experience. We were seated and served quickly, but one of our entrees was terrible. The waitress dropped our food off and did not check on us again to refill drinks or see if the food turned out well. She was sitting a few tables away wrapping a Christmas gift for Christmas decorations despite having a table. We had to track her down to let her know that our food wasn't satisfactory, and she came over and took the entree with no comment and didn't offer to bring something else or fix the problem (so one of us did not eat dinner). We had to track her down again to get the check after waiting for almost 20 more minutes, and she charged for the uneaten entree. We asked to have that one removed, and asked to talk to the manager. The manager removed the charge, then she came to the table and said "the manager just left" which seemed unlikely. There are better options in Lee's Summit, skip this.

La Fuente is our family's go-to Mexican restaurant. We usually eat in but got take out a couple nights ago and as usual it was excellent! The margaritas are #1 too! Whether we're celebrating or just need a pick me up after a rough day, this place makes it great.
