Fast, efficient, and professional. bar: We both had the house margaritas and they are same price, frozen or on the rock ($8.99 each as of 11/2025). They have lots of beer taps, including my favorite, Free State Yakimaniac IPA. Wide ranging drinks menu, with something for everyone. food: Finally, a place that still provides those awesome complimentary chips and red salsa! We also had their chile con queso and thought it was great ($8.99). Menu has an excellent rendition of my all-time favorite, huevos con chorizo - or eggs with garlic sausage ($13.49). My wife ordered a la carte with a chile verde tamale ($5.99), a shredded beef soft taco ($1.99), rice ($3.99) and black beans ($3.99). In retrospect, it's probably smarter to order a combination plate! Huge menu with lots of interesting choices. details: Bright, bustling, busy space - even for a rainy Monday night. Plenty of surface parking right outside.

Good things must come to an end.. once upon a time when I was a little undergrad in college, me and…read moremy Mexican best friend would come here monthly because the rice was "better than my abuelas" she would say. I don't know if abuela left but I think she would be disappointed in how this restaurant served us. Firstly, the food had no flavor. I'm sorry but you're a restaurant.. isn't the whole point to eat food that has flavor? Like not even salt. Also the tacos were so greasy they made us gag. I'm not even kidding like it was bad. Once we got our food we waited 15 mins for silverware. So that kinda sucked too. And then it took us 5 years to get the check. Also there were extremely racist white old ladies sitting at the table next to us. The customer isn't always right. Anyway though, we were really disappointed. Lawrence does have great Mexican food. I was excited to bring my boyfriend here because it used to be one of my favorite spots. They also don't do free queso anymore. At least the place was clean. There are better spots like Lulu's or Los Guapos. (Rip cielitos). I'd maybe try again in the future but for now I wouldn't go back.

But all said, the "Crazy" breakfast burrito I ordered that had potato, sausage, ham, eggs, etc. was darn fine. No complaints there. Restaurant love is a slippery slope. There are some things I don't care about here. Hand lettered sign stating the dining room is not open but it's so small you really have to be right next to it or walk up to the door to attempt to enter. I did the latter. The entrance sign on 23rd has been graffiti'd for some time now, as in weeks. A big deal? Not particularly, but look up and down this strip and tell me who else would leave that in place this long--and over on Iowa? Certainly not a single one of those chicken chains with the soccer moms lined up getting dinner for the fam. I pull up to the window to ask if or when the dining room is going to be open. Awhile, I'm told, they're still hiring and training cooks. Geez, after how many months? Oh, and thanks for that detail. So you have to wonder if they're just over their heads business-wise or what. The problems with most restaurants is not if they can make food, it's navigating the entire business model. When you've moved into an odd space that just failed for a major chain, I'd think you'd want your collection guano together. Drive-ins have their fans, and if they're going to make it here, they're going to have to be on their "A" game. It appears that's not the case here. Since the city is missing a decent breakfast burrito drive-in I hope they find their groove here because at the moment, the train kind of has one wheel off the track.

We went there at dinner time with the intent of having dinner in their dining room. When we got…read morethere, we found a small sign on the entrance door saying closed for dine in service, but open for drive through carry out service. There was no explanation and no indication of whether the dining room will ever again be open. If you want to go there for dine in service, I suggest that you call first. Since it is long past the pandemic, I wonder about this restaurant's future with its dining room closed. The menu for drive through service is substantial, and the restaurant is open for drive through service long hours from early in the morning until late at night. Why the dining room is closed is a mystery.

It baffles me that only one MLB division uses the designated hitter. Most of all, though, I am flummoxed why Chipotle is so darn popular. I am an optimist and I keep trying Chipotle thinking "I'll really like it this time! I'll like it just as much as everyone else does!" But I always come away disappointed. I have tried many different things on their menu, too, hoping this will be The One. Sadly, it never happens. You cannot drive by Chipotle in Lawrence without seeing a line. Like a serious line inside the store. People will scrounge for a parking spot and stand in line to get this food and I do not understand. At best, the food is okay. There is nothing outstanding or WOW about this place. I've had much better food at a strip mall dive. For my personal preferences, Chipotle is just uninspired. I like the rice bowls and the burritos but there is nothing memorable or outstanding. One time I was served a burrito that was way to spicy for me. I mentioned to the server and he said, "It shouldn't be spicy. We fixed it like you ordered." That was it. No offers to fix or change. The staff is friendly enough but they make you feel like a number. There seems to be very little personal connection or genuineness. The restaurant is clean and the ingredients are fresh. There is ample parking and this restaurant is easy access. The prices are reasonable for the quality. No complaints there. I guess this restaurant cannot get around having that cookie-cutter franchise feel. Chipotle just does not do it for me.

The waffles tasted like a cheap mix was used, and the crust on the chicken was too thick and overcooked.
