You can order them cold if your not going to eat them immediately or freeze them, or you can order hot to eat soon. The lady that runs this small but has great food makes the place feel like family.

During the Christmas holidays you can order tamales to take home (they are unbelievable)! The enchiladas are perfectly seasoned and the white cheese queso will swear you off melted velveeta with salsa forever. Pay attention where you sit. If you are under the air conditioner you might get a little condensation on your table. It's all good though as the food is worth a little water. I highly recommend this family owned business!

The place was clean, comfortable seating that was noticeable. The offerings were numerous ways of fixing tacos, and a few other items. The food was good, but they are competing with several authentic Mexican places. I hope the fact that they are downtown helps their business. Having been in Topeka most of my life I have been spoiled by the different authentic places . Check out their menu and you will find an offering you will want to try.

Absolutely awful. I was very excited to eat here as all my co-workers said it was a must try. We…read morewalked in and were seated immediately but were not given drinks after 20-25 minutes of sitting and waiting. My fiancé and I both ordered the burrito and we were highly unimpressed. The rice was supposed to be cilantro lime, but it was all lime and no cilantro. It was also very expensive for what you get. The space is super small and honestly if you want a burrito that is similar or actually better just go to chipotle.

The saying good things come in small packages definitely applies. Small having nothing to do with portion size in this case. Hailing from Southern California I can say with authority on such matters, this place is serving the BEST breakfast burrito in Northeast Kansas. In fact, I would say I've only ever had one other place that equals it. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to travel 1,500 miles southwest of here to match it! Can't wait to come back. I see they have super affordable daily specials including authentic picadas on Thursdays for $1 each.

Fast, yummy and cheap, One dollar tacos on Tuesday and Friday. Definitely worth it! Try it!!read more

El Centenario is pretty decent Mexican food in Topeka…read more I've been to El Centenario a half-dozen times. It helps that it is just a couple blocks away from work, it's easy to get a consensus among co-workers as a place to go for lunch, and it has had good and consistent food that comes out pretty speedy. I know that the menu is filled with diverse items, but I keep gravitating to the same lunch item over and over -- 1 taco, 1 burrito, and refried beans. It's not an exciting lunch, but it's remarkably affordable (~$6!) and it is very filling. El Centenario also plys you with heaping baskets of tortilla chips and salsa. My recommendation -- request the salsa picante. It's a spicy ranchera-style sauce, it has a rather spicy pepper bite, but I've gotten to the point that I will eat chips with it spooned over the top, while one of my coworkers mixes some of the spicy salsa into her bowl of regular salsa. I won't say that El Centenario is the most authentic Mexican restaurant, but it does fit solidly into the current concepts for TexMex / Mexican that is run and staffed by Latin-Americans. Considering some of the other "Mexican" food in Topeka, it's about as authentic as you are going to get without heading over to the taquerias on the east side.
