Mexquisito

They were out of Mtn. Dew, which seemed odd, but I ordered a Sierra Mist instead. I was given soda water with a hint of syrup, kind of like flavored Perrier. I ordered shrimp tacos because I was feeling brave, and before we even signed the check ($45 for 3 people, not particularly cheap), I had to run to the restroom to throw up. The tacos were on mini tortillas and I got a total of 9 pieces of shrimp which appeared fully cooked but tasted like undercooked chicken. The refried beans and rice had the same flavor and texture, which was that of baby food. I wish I could say I recommend Mexquisito, but I wouldn't even feed it to my dog.

Chips and salsa aren't free but you will be truly missing out if you don't get them. Seasonal specials are amazing when I have the desire to try something new. Regular menu has great options also. This isn't just Mexican food, it's carefully thought out with a varied selection flavorful chicken, pork, and ground beef (if you are familiar think Penzys spices quality). Best Mexican restaurant in Lawrence by far!

Since Tortas Jalisco closed, this is now our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. They have many of the same menu items as Tortas Jalisco with some new additions. But just as delicious! The service is wonderful. My husband and I have been patronizing this family's establishments for so long they greet us like old friends. Lawrence has many Mexican restaurants but Mexquisito is the one you don't want to miss!
