Remember #2 from last night's costume vote? The witch?

That's Dolores. As in, the one who's been running this place for 26 years and she has the broom to prove it.

If you voted for somebody else, she's seen your comment. She's not mad. She's just watching. 🧹

Friday night, kitchen's open til 10:30. Come say hi. Bring a treat, just in case.

Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What if that dream world was a world filled with chips, salsa, and queso?

Who else woke up dreaming of Mexican food?

This is Bill. He's 107 years old. He served in World War II. And he's been eating at Abuelita Rosa's for 12 years.

He came in today, ordered his usual, and gave us the number one like he does. We don't know what we did to deserve him. We're not going to question it.

Thank you for your service, Bill. Thank you for 12 years of lunches. See you next time.

Throwback to the day the King walked in with a guitar and no reservation.

We sat him anyway. The girls at the door didn't flinch, which tells you how often strange things happen at Abuelita Rosa's.

Halloween's two weeks out. If you've got a costume this good, bring it by. We'll feed you and probably put you on Facebook.

Chimichanga's $8.99 after 4 tonight.

We've been keeping a secret for 26 years. 🤫

The reason the chips never run out, the reason your plate shows up before you finish your drink, the reason the kitchen looks like this at 9 in the morning. It's not a system. It's not a schedule.

It's that everyone working here is part of the family and nobody wants to be the one who lets the family down.

That's it. That's the secret. Come see what it tastes like.

37304 W 45th St, Shawnee. Wednesday chimichanga, $8.99 after 4.

He's been here since 1999 and he still hasn't ordered.

Meet the newest regular at Abuelita Rosa's. He's got the hat, he's got the bench, and he's got two of our favorite people keeping him company. Halloween's officially started on W 45th.

He needs a name. Drop one below. Winner gets a call out and photo with him featured on social, which is more than he's getting.

Oh, and tomorrow is chimichanga day. #24, $8.99 after 4. He'll be watching.
