Tiki Taco Shack ~ Topeka, Kansas

First visit: Oct 2023

This being a Sunday, the thrift store hours are more wonky than ever. After leaving Abilene we went to Junction City, followed by Manhattan. Some success at the thrifts in both towns. We decided to take a short tour of Kansas State University and then head to Topeka.

Mrs. RJG and I were here in 2009, and I introduced her to Taco Casa (different than the Texas or Alabama chains). That was her favorite taco of that trip. Taco Casa has fallen apart but that same location is now known as Taco Al's. And... they're closed on Sunday. Groan. Let's try for another. I don't recall Tiki Taco Shack from prior visits here, but let's give it a try.

Yep - this is your standard Kansas taco. Which means it's great to the RJG's appetite. Once again we just snacked on a couple each, knowing dinner is on the horizon. My real time voice text notes suggested that the sauces here were better than usual - the X-Hot actually being very spicy. Excellent stuff. Another great logo too! OK, onto the local thrift shops and then we headed to our final destination which was Kansas City.
