11 Best Mexican Restaurants in Shawnee

“Ate at the Shawnee location and it was awesome! Fast service AND delicious food. The owners are so friendly. My husband tried the smothered burrito bowl and I had the No tortilla burrito bowl. They were good size portions and a fair price. I'll be a regular!“

“Had a very nice first time dining experience this evening. Party of 6. Waiter did a good job all the way around. My Sombrero Burrito was very good and the frozen margarita was just what I needed on this 105 day. I’ll be back.“

“This place has it all. Good food, great atmosphere, helpful servers, good prices and GREAT margaritas. Give it a try, I hope you’ll like it as much as we do.“

“GREAT food but what makes this place really exceptional is the outstanding service. Not only is the wait staff there excellent but in addition, you always see a manager nearby if you should have any problems which I never have after going there for the last 10 years. I highly recommend it especially on their I know I know weekly special days. Great value, great taste, good service. What more could you ask for!“

“Authentic Mexican food, no joke!

This isn’t your usual Taco Bell or Jose Peppers drive-by. If you want to taste what REAL Mexican homemade food is like, this is where you need to be!

The menudo? Oh, it was *chef's kiss*! Sure, it didn’t have hominy, but trust me, I was too busy slurping it down to care. My husband got Combo #2, and we both left practically doing a happy dance, already planning our next visit!

And the prices? Ridiculously fair! You can literally taste the high-quality ingredients—so fresh it’s like they’ve got an abuela in the back hand-picking them. I mean, we walked in, and there was a lady in the kitchen meticulously plucking oregano stems... for your menudo a FREE garnish.

Oh, and the place is very clean! Floors, tables, chairs and even the decorations. Dusted and wiped.“

“We’ve been to this place several times and have enjoyed various meals, which have mostly been excellent. The portions are huge, including the burritos! The first time I tried the beef burrito, it was amazing—flavorful and perfectly seasoned. However, the second time, it was a bit disappointing as it seemed mostly filled with beans and lacked the flavor of my first experience, resulting in a one star reduction of my rating. Overall, though, this spot has great food, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“Shrimp ceviche, Al pastor tacos and chicken Verde enchiladas, all very good! Sweetie, our server, was attentive. Cute, small place. Has outside patio.

Parking: Some parking in front, but also parking lot across the side street!“

“My wife is a vegetarian, and had a procedure nearby where she couldn't eat the day before. We went there for breakfast, MANY options for her. At that point she was still a bit "loopy", and later in the day after we were home, she realized she did NOT have her wallet!! I went online, found an email, contacted them LONG after hours, and in < 2 minutes, the owner emailed back, said his manager had indeed found her wallet, it was in the vault, and she could collect it the next day during business hours. When she went to collect it, the server even recognized her when she went in. He said they ran outside trying to catch us, but we were already gone. They would NOT take ANY reward for their honesty and going out of the way for us!!! I can't say ENOUGH good things about Rize N Shine. The FOOD was TERRIFIC, and the STAFF was top of the line!! HIGHLY recommend, we live 30 miles away, but WILL make it a point to stop by there to eat when in the area, due to their great food and FANTASTIC customer service!!!!“

“great place to eat, very authentic and flavorful.“

“This place is my preferred one. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this one I keep coming back again and again. The team is very affectionate and the cooking they serve is so good. I am always happy to have a decent meal in this place. Highly recommended.“

“Food is great! Always friendly and always fresh! Such a delicious selection of food!!“
