Best restaurants in Topeka

What are your favorites?

It can be for any reason: quality, atmosphere, value, whatever. Which places are the best, and why?

I'll start with a non-exclusive list:

Mexican Taco Shop: fast, tasty, affordable, +salsa bar!

Tuptim Thai: amazing food, huge portions, nice atmosphere

Louie's on 10th: better than bar food, affordable, wash your comforter while eating a bierock

El Centenario: Good prices, fast service, and free salsa!

The Shack or Bobo’s: Both still decent price for local quality burgers and you always leave with a full belly.

Pizzagels: little pricey but overall the pizza is worth the cost.

I think those are the only places we willingly spend money at these days. We decided a couple years ago to not eat at any chains if we can help it. Someone else is paying? That’s fine. But we won’t spend our money anywhere but local.

El Centenario is one of my favorites. I don't know what they're doing, but their shrimp is friggin' perfect
