I've lived in Lone Jack my entire life so when we finally got a mexican restaurant I was so excited! I know they switched owners from the original and that is ok, because another restaurant I went to growing up was El Paso in Holden, MO off of 50 hwy and that is who owns this one also. Staff is always friendly and the service is always amazing. I have never once had bad food from here or el paso. The owner knows how to run restaurants! The raspberry margarita is actually pretty fantastic. There's always a special with a significant discount as well. I am not disappointed by this addition to our growing community. read more

Owners son (whom I spoke to originally about the accidental shrimp, in meal), made it right. He apologized for the inconvenience of the confusion with his father, and made the order correctly and credited it to us. I appreciate his kindness n' integrity. I would delete my last review if I knew how. read more

We did have a Reservation at 4 and upon our arrival the Restaurant was decorated outside for Festive Christmas Spirit. We were greeted and sat within a few minutes, it was not busy when we arrived. The bar/restaurant was decked out in Holiday Fun. We were sat in a booth and our server asked us for our drink order-then brought us out chips and salsa. I started with a beer and queso to go with our chips. My sister ordered the Holiday Mule. We wanted some food to snack on so we shared the Carne Asada Tacos and the Taquitos. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. After our snacks I opted to try the "Tini" which was one of the Holiday Cocktails. It did pick up halfway through our visit, service was ok-our server kind of took a bit to check in on us for water refills and my 2nd Cocktail. Overall Tipsy's Holiday Pop Up was fun and great Holliday Vibe to start out our evening.
