6 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Shawnee

“Went for my daughter maleahs birthday with large party. Our server was very nice and attentive. Food came out quick and was hot and good. They sung happy birthday and brought her ice cream. Great time will be back!!Kid-friendliness: Great birthday experience for 13 year old“

“I stopped in on a business trip from Minnesota. Our server Courtney was of the nicest and most attentive employees I have ever met. The tacos are amazing and the service is great. I'm just bummed we don't have this place where I live.“

“Got two breakfast tacos. One was egg, bacon, and cheese. The other was egg, chorizo, and cheese. And I had a side of refried beans (they sprinkled some shredded cheese over it).Both tacos were very good, but I'm a bit picky after living in Texas most of my life. They weren't great. I'd say Torchy's Tacos are a lot closer to Texas breakfast tacos than these. But, again, these are good, and I will certainly come back again for more.I enjoyed the decor of the restaurant... Very lively and inviting! Good vibe!Several TVs for watching sports. About half the tables are bar type tables with tall bar stools, and then there are a few tables and booths at normal height for people who want to relax and sit back or those who are uncomfortable on tall barstools.“

“Everything was good. The waitress needed to listen a little better. We made changes to our food and she forgot to do it. It was a pleasant, nice quick lunch. I had a shrimp enchilada with ceso sauce, and an avocado shrimp enchilada both were delicious.“

“El Toro Loco catered our wedding in Feb. 2024 and they were outstanding! Eugenio, the owner, personally connected with my husband and I several times prior to the wedding and worked with us to create a taco buffet with many options for an affordable price. He went above and beyond by going out of his way even to stay during the reception to make sure that the food was taken care of along with bringing in some other employees to ensure a smooth dining experience (out of the kindness of his heart). Everyone commented how wonderful the food was all night! This was their first wedding that they have catered, but no one would have known! If you are considering a Mexican restaurant for your event, choose EL TORO LOCO!“

“I stopped in on Monday night during a snow storm with my wife and 2 daughters. We normally love Chili's and this location was ok. Except the entire place was freezing. And even though it was empty we were put right next to a plate glass window with cold temperatures from outside coming off of it. The waitress was great. The food was good. The manager was a little bit inflexible with our order request.. that others Chili's locations have had no issues with... he came back to our table a few times after we ordered with the waitress. She came back later an apologized to us for his behavior. Seems like it shouldn't be her job to have to do this, and a good manager wouldn't put their staff in that position. We were traveling through KC. We still love Chili's but will likely not return to this location.....“
