    Chicken Al Pastor
    Shakeyla R.

    Tex Mex chain that packs an authentic punch! Visited here with coworkers on an out of town trip. I'm not always a fan of chain Tex-Mex restaurants and was even more nervous once I saw the menu-it was a bit overwhelming but I was pleasantly surprised. I got the chicken Al pastor and one thing I was shocked about was the freshness of the beans. I'm used to having the refried beans mash but these were whole beans simmered down in a spicy sauce with cilantro, tomatoes, and onions. I could've filled up on those alone. The al pastor was great as well-the freshness of the pineapples and cilantro really set everything off. The restaurant got busy right as we were coming in and even as a party of 9, I would say the waitress managed extremely well. The whole establishment worked as a team, made sure we were well taken care of. Even though the food was amazing, our drinks were not. They were bland and tasted watered down. We even sent them back and they still were not good. The bathrooms also were extremely dirty. With the exception of those 2 fails, it would have been a 5 star visit.

    Before I get to how delicious the food was, I want to talk about how personable & hospitable the staff was. My husband and I came in around 8 pm and Joshua immediately came to seat us with such a kind and welcoming energy. Seconds into encountering one another, we were already cracking jokes. Katrina, our server, was so sweet and attentive. We had such great conversation and she genuinely cared about our dinner experience. Now, the food. GUYS! As the kids these days say, "the food SLAPPED." Sorry, I had to. Anyway, the food was great. Tasted even better than the photos look. I recommend this spot whether you're passing through, or you're a local. Do it. And ask for either Joshua or Katrina if you want a 10/10 experience. I'm sure everyone else is great, but I can only speak from what I know. Enjoy! And tell them Ben and Bri said Hi!

    Kids quesadilla meal with rice & ??

    $8 Kids meal- sub optimal. Slopped together a lump of melted string cheese on a tortilla with rice & watery beans....advertised picture very different. Save your money. No offering of desert that comes with the meal.

    Shrimp tacos
    Lynette H.

    I am in town for a business trip and we had dinner here because it's close to the hotel. Had a decent meal and a fruity margarita! Can't go wrong there. They gave us chips and salsa for the table when we were sat. And ample time to look over their big menu. I ended up ordering the peach frozen margarita and the shrimp tacos. The margarita was exactly what you'd expect of it. And for the food...Such a huge serving. It was two very large tacos in a flour tortilla. Shrimp, that on the menu said would be glazed, but they were doused in so much cheese I really couldn't see the glaze. But hey, it was cheese, so I am not complaining. There was a side of rice, beans and a small scoop of a corn situation. The rice was good, seemed more buttery than Mexican-y (like a rice pilaf) The service was quick and the prices are very fair. I know it's a chain and I know it's not authentic Mexican food. But overall I thought it was a fine meal and checked all the boxes I needed tonight.

    Delicious food, waiters are very friendly, and super nice atmosphere. In addition to all those amazing things, it's all at an affordable price. They also offer daily specials for a sweet deal. I can totally recommend it and will definitely come back again for the bottomless chips and salsa.

    Happy Hour $3 Dos Equis and Complimentary Chips and Salsa
    Casey Martin K.

    Wow!!! I was passing through Topeka and found this gem!! Sat at the bar and had a beer and chips within a minute! I ordered the Carnitas Chimichanga which was super tasty! I also signed up for the rewards and got some free Espinaca Queso! The Chimichanga was super flavorful and I loved all the sauces. The queso was awesome as well! It was like Spinach Artichoke dip done Mexican style! The refried beans were really great! The vibe in the restaurant is very chill and they even played my favorite Ben Rector song! It's nice and quiet making conversation enjoyable! I definitely recommend! They do not have any spicy hot sauce! I was a little disappointed cause I like a little kick with my food! But that isn't worth knocking a whole star! Definitely check it out, especially for Happy Hour! Awesome value!

    Carne taco with refried beans and rice.  And sweet Masa.
    Keene M.

    I could spend a lot of time here. It's a really comfortable place. They have inside and outside seating. Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We each ordered a lunch sized taco meal. I got Shrimp Taco with rice and beans. My wife ordered Carne Taco. Both looked wonderful. My shrimp had a sauce on it that was way too salty. But the Carne tasted good. Besides the beans and rice, we each got a little scoop of Masa. What a nice pallet cleanser. Our server was attentive and very helpful. We will probably return for a margarita and dinner.

    Such a sweet, helpful staff! Everyone is smiling and so kind and helpful. We were worried the queso might be too spicy and the server brought us a sample without us having to ask. And the food is AMAZING

    It just wasn't good. Everything tasted very bland. We were disappointed in the food. Service was fine just the food wasn't.

I love supporting local & Jorge really went above & beyond to provide a wonderful meal for our family! Joey & I picked it up right when we arrived in Topeka after an 8hr drive from Denver, and Jorge was just the sweetest, thanking us for choosing his business & sharing his excitement for our upcoming meal. Soooo sweet!! We had 25 people & still had so many leftovers, and it was all packaged perfectly. We had a crunchy taco & burrito bar with 4 huge pans with chicken/veggies, ground beef taco meat, rice & beans. It came with 2 huge pans of chips, as well as half pans of queso, salsa, cilantro, onions, smoked jalapeños, shredded cheese, lettuce & sour cream. The chicken & veggies were phenomenal, the taco meat was perfectly seasoned, and everything was piping hot! And most importantly, none of it was too salty. Too bad i didn't get any pics, everyone just dug right in! Just wow.. many thanks Jorge & team for the most incredible meal for my family. From mine to yours, gracias! We can't wait to come back- you're now our fav Mexican spot in KS :)

    Where have I've been? A hidden Topeka gem for great Mexican food. Looks small but seats over 50…read morefolks. Inexpensive lunch specials and full dinner menu. Outstanding tasting Coke products. Great fast service with hot plates. As I enjoyed lunch every plate out from kitchen I wanted to try. Locals eat here! Save room for great deserts, in fact have desert first so you don't fill up!!! Parking a bit difficult in small strip center on West side of Fairlawn. Great pastry and coffee shop shop next door too! Failed to take picture of my plate since it looked so good I just dug in - my Chimichuga was so good. My new go to mexican place.
