Lopez de Mexico

Lopez de Mexico A locally owned Mexican restaurant located near historic Commercial Street in beautiful Atchison. He came with his family hoping for a better life in America. S.
(287)

In the early 1900’s, Enrique Lopez came to the United States from Guanajuato, Mexico, he was only 8 years old. Elena Vallejo was born in Horton, Kansas after her family had only been in the U. for a year. Many Mexican families settled in “Little Mexico” of Horton to work for the Rock Island Railroad. Enrique and Elena were married in 1934 and are more locally known as Henry & Helen Lopez. Henry b

ecame a crane operator at the local Atchison, KS foundry while Helen was a homemaker, raised seven children and held various jobs. They both were strong in faith & great cooks especially with fresh foods from their garden. In 1995, this restaurant opened to present the food, culture and music of the Lopez & Vallejo families. It is a family business, family owned, family operated and family loved. It is under the personal care of a family member, guaranteeing the reputation the family has earned for treating the customers "like part of the family." Helping to complete the family's recipe of success is the personal atmosphere and warm welcome from familiar employees. Many employees such as food servers and kitchen help, have been working for the family since almost the beginning. Thank you, long-time employees, for your loyalty and commitment to the Lopez family! Equally important are you, the customers, who have been coming to Lopez de Mexico since it opened. Some of you have met here, fallen in love, married and are now bringing your children. Thank you for your loyalty.

Lots of intact cats are multiplying and this organization is helping get the feral cat population under control. Let’s help these cats stay healthy by getting them fixed.

🇺🇸🐾 STARS, STRIPES & SPAY DAYS 🐾🇺🇸

As Independence Day approaches, many of us will spend money on fireworks, sparklers, and celebrations.

This year, we’re asking our community to consider setting aside just a small portion of that budget to help save lives right here in Atchison County.

Every donation helps provide:
✔️ Spay & neuter surgeries
✔️ Rabies vaccinations
✔️ Flea and parasite treatment
✔️ Medical care for vulnerable kittens
✔️ TNVR efforts to prevent future litters

Just imagine:

🎇 $5 = Helps provide food for kittens in care

🎇 $10 = Helping Hand Sponsor

🎇 $25 = Partial Trap Sponsor

🎇 $50 = Full TNVR Trap Sponsor

Instead of a few minutes of fireworks, your donation can create a lasting impact for cats and kittens all year long.

Together, we can give community cats something truly worth celebrating:

❤️ A healthier future.
❤️ Fewer kittens born outside.
❤️ More lives saved.

Ready to celebrate with purpose?

As always, if you cannot donate, sharing this post helps just as much.

🎆 “Fill the Sky, Save a Life” Goal: $1,776

Every $50 donated fills in one firework on a graphic. We will update the graph once daily.

When all fireworks are filled:

* 35+ TNVR cats sponsored
* Rabies vaccines funded
* Multiple litters prevented

This will allow us to secure appointments as we move into our late summer and fall trapping.
