Krysty and the team were Fantastic! They were all so accommodating and helpful! Everyone loved it!

"Nachos"

The food is not authentic, the staff is rude, uneducated, angry and dirty. Do not believe any of the reviews on here. Empanadas were flavorless and full of grease. Nachos were inedible and a sloppy mess. Not one crunchy chip in the box of slop. Run away from this spot, plenty of other options in the college town of lawrence. Staff asks you to wear gloves when getting a straw for your drink but they fill your glass and put a lid on your drink with no gloves. Typical nonsense. Prediction: out of business in 3 months.

Yummy food and a surprise

I love this place! My favorites are the shrimp taco, poblano tamale, and cucumber water, but I haven't had anything I didn't like. They often have cool little surprises for holidays (like a chocolate rose on Valentine's!). I go here weekly and recommend it to everyone!

Excellent selection and variety of tamales and entire menu. Proving tamales don't have to be wrapped in corn husks to be Delicious!
