“This place is the definition of authentic Spanish dining. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the energy—the music, the laughter, the clinking glasses—it feels like you’ve been transported straight into Spain. The atmosphere is lively, a little loud in the best way, and full of life, just how it should be.

The food is absolutely incredible. Every dish is packed with bold, traditional flavors and clearly made with care and authenticity. You can taste the quality in every bite. The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and everything comes out fresh and perfectly timed.

What really makes this place stand out is the experience. It’s not just a meal—it’s a vibe. The staff is warm, attentive, and keeps the energy high, making sure you feel welcome the entire time.

If you’re looking for real Spanish culture, amazing food, and an unforgettable atmosphere, this spot is a must. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The best💯‼️“

“The best pastelitos/empanadas in all of Lawrence! Fresh and the tastiest pastelito fillings. You can’t go wrong with the batidas and the natural juices. I recommend the arepa as well, so delicious. I’ve been coming here for over 11 years and it still tastes delicious and fresh!“

“I got this for takeout. This is next to the noodle shop I went all the time. I wanted to get some takeout for later. First, they speak only Spanish. If you don’t speak Spanish, you will need Google Translate. But because there are only a few options, you can just point at the food and order. I ordered yellow rice, pork, and ribs. It came with a salad for about 10. Pretty good portion size. I think the pork rib is good, tender and moist with good flavor. The pork is a little dry but eatable. Flavor for both items are on point. The yellow rice is very tasty. You can eat that by itself. This place is great for a quick lunch. I will probably go back if I want to eat quickly.“

“The food is very good (as always), I just don't like the service/treatment of those women, sometimes you are first in line and they just look at you from top to bottom and they better proceed to serve other people and leave you there as if you were painting on a wall.“

“Quedé encantada con el sabor y la presentación de la comida. Exquisito!“

“This was our first time. Although it was the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday the place was very busy. Staff didn't always speak English but they quickly found someone who did. The food was excellent and we were well taken care of. Definitely worth going back. Surprised to learn they have been open almost 10 years but until they started to list on OpenTable we had no idea.“

“During my recent visit to La Tambora Restaurant, I had the pleasure of enjoying their white rice with chicken soup and plantains, and it was absolutely delightful. The chicken soup was flavorful and comforting, perfectly complemented by the fluffy white rice. The plantains were cooked to perfection, offering a subtle sweetness that balanced the meal beautifully. The combination of flavors and textures was satisfying and memorable.

The warm ambiance and attentive service further elevated the dining experience. Whether you're a fan of traditional dishes or simply looking to try something hearty and delicious, I highly recommend giving this dish a try. La Tambora Restaurant has truly set a high standard for quality and taste.“

“Hello all, it’s your friendly neighborhood nurse practitioner! I recently enjoyed a good experience at Pikalo. The ham and cheese tostada I ordered was toasted to perfection, with the cheese melting just right, creating a delicious blend of flavors. The passion fruit smoothie was a perfect match, striking the ideal balance between tartness and sweetness. I highly recommend this spot, especially for their generously sized and tasty empanadas (even if I think they are a little bit expensive for what they are, but that applies to most food spots that sell empanadas). This location isn’t ideal for dine in, more of a take out place. A satisfying meal overall, highly recommend!“
