For your support in this year's Best of the Best Reader's Choice Awards. I do things quite differently. None of us like surprises on our worst day. Death of a loved one. Our home and possessions are gone before our eyes. Medical bills mounting. Very bad things happen to very good people. My passion is relationship. You will want someone you know and trust when life happens. It would be my honor to be the familiar face and voice on those days when your family will need it most.

Best Mexican Restaurant
Abuelita’s is the oldest Mexican Restaurant in Shawnee. We are actually serving our third generation of families! We could not have done this for this many years without our loyal customers.
