Andrew Rhoades
Great place. Greeted by a lovely little girl (must have been the daughter of the owner) that sat us at our table. The food was great. The happy hour is 3-6 and the margaritas are $6!!!!! Ordered the nachos that were $12. Pretty good. Had carrots on the nachos, was a vibe tho. They forgot the guac and sour cream tho. No big deal. Definitely worth the $12. Menu is included in my photos

La Mariposa is a great place for having dinner. They have several vegetarian options (two burritos, enchiladas, tacos, and some appetizers) and some gluten free options. We had the spinach enchiladas, the veggie burrito and the elotes as an appetizer. Everything here is delicious and tasty but a little bit greasy. And if you like margarita they have ALL of them. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very friendly.

Pretty restaurant inside. They have a bar too. Prices are good. The food is not bad. Not too authentic but good. Except my pile of beans was pretty small. Like 2 cm high. The service is good.

This place was good the first time we went here. Happy hour prices are good but service was quite slow. The second time we came here, the items we ordered were not as described on the menu- ingredients and seasonings were left out completely and the food was bland. The service was far worse the second time too. They didn’t seem short-staffed because we saw at least two workers twiddling their thumbs.

Lindsey Hossle
Forgot to grab pictures before we started eating but everything is WONDERFUL. Food is hot & fresh with great flavor. Salsa is great with a nice kick to it. Strawberry mango frozen margaritas were great! The service was phenomenal. If we weren’t from Kansas City here on vacation this would be our go to spot!
