    I'm not sure when this tiny Mexican grocery opened but I noticed it a few months back and was…read moredetermined to stop in. Glad I did. In a town with little going on in the food category save a sketchy downtown mom & pop joint serving exceptionally uninspiring chow and your typical sports bar-set-em-up bad swill joints across the road a ways, De Soto is a proverbial food desert (take Steve's Meat Market out of that equation though, an exceptional stop). This little grocery is bringing your typical dry goods, Jarritos, Mexican cokes, canned goods, ground and whole spices, facilities for phoning dinero home to family south of the border and a lot of other things you'd expect, including a few fresh vegetables in the back. But on Saturday... fresh tamales, some of the best I've had in ages. Show me where you can get these elsewhere this good because I chase this stuff all time. Not to be found this moist, this bursting with flavorful pork and falling apart, savory goodness. Score!!! Now I don't know who is making these tamales but they were in a styrofoam container and bags of 6 inside of freezer bags, still warm as in right out of the oven. Holy guacamole, tasty plus. I adore little joints like this. The young lady working the front counter said her family used to run a Mexican restaurant so apparently whoever is running this knows what they're doing. Came home with some ground chilis (spices) which make your every day chili so much more interesting, and big jug of Mango Jarritos, the perfect complement to the tamales. And with that, I'm now off to eat 2-3 more of these delicious little packages. Great place, check it out! Better yet, make a trip to Steve's Meat Market down the road on a Saturday and stop in here for a package or two of those tamales. If you come: in a small strip mall next to a gas station, convenience store a couple of minutes off the main De Soto exit on the West side with Lexington Ave. being the main highway that bypasses the town. Don't be looking for a web site or Facebook page, none that I can find.

    From the owner: You’ll find an extensive selection of grocery items that cater to all your cooking needs…read more From traditional spices and seasonings to fresh produce and specialty ingredients, they have everything you need to create your favorite Mexican dishes at home. There are artisan crafts and also offer home made tamales on Saturdays!

    Bleh. Nothing outstanding about Kwik Shop. I've been spoiled. Badly spoiled by QuikTrip. Other…read moreconvenience stores have a huge bar to reach. This is a busy store by an exit on a state highway. It is situated in a small town so they do a great volume here. This is the equivalent of a small town mall. They offer all the things a convenience store should offer. They have gasoline, refrigerator filled walls of drink assortments, candy, more gum than anyone could ever chew, beef jerky, cigarettes and lottery tickets. Standard convenience store fare. Everything seems to be in order and there appears to be a wide selection of products. I found myself inside the store when I went to get gas and the pump could not read my card. I decided this was a good chance to grab a sandwich for lunch tomorrow. They had a wide variety of lunch foods in the cold case but they were pricey. I was going to get some cheese and beef jerky but the small pack was almost $5. No thanks! The cashier was very nice and pleasant. The store was clean. I just could not get past the prices.

    But what's this??? A Kwik Shop in the Lawrence area that is actually managed the way a gas station…read moreand convenience store should be managed. Unlike the holy mess of an excuse, one-star crapper that sits at 19th and Massachusetts Streets in Lawrence, its sole purpose apparently to thumb their nose at folks with Dillon's cards wanting cheap gas. This Kwik Shop has things the 19th and Mass doesn't: - the gas pumps actually dispense gas quickly. No 5 minute waits while it drips into your gas tank. - there is actually water and soap in the window cleaning buckets so you can wash your window. - there are actually paper towels in the dispenser too, amazing. - the exterior and lot is fairly clean and appearance kept up. - the lot is of the size that you don't feel like you can move without hitting someone, even if crowded which it was on my visit. - the inside was clean and the help professional. Yea, here's where I'm getting gas in the future. I head to KC enough that it's time to just bypass the horribly managed Lawrence locations. Bravo to little Eudora for the managers of this place doing a first-rate job.
