Mexquisito — Restaurant in Lawrence

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...

Best Mexican restaurant in Lawrence, maybe the best restaurant in Lawrence overall. Everything I've tried is outstanding. Even my snobby California friends love it and will come back repeatedly whenever visiting. The Birria is insane and addictive. Fajitas are top notch, love the burritos, chiliqules for breakfast are awesome too. Yes you pay for the chips and salsa, get over it (and find a new pet peeve), they're worth it. Daily beer specials. Man this...

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Queso was ok and the margarita was meh. I liked the mole, but as far as traditional made mole, it's usually not that spicy (which wasn't a big deal for me, I'm into ridiculously hot food). It's like ordering spaghetti from an Italian place then realizing they put a scoop of cayenne pepper on top. It's just not the way to do it imo. I don't mind going back, but it wasn't anything that I would...
