Salty Iguana

4931 W. 6th Street

Lawrence, KS 66049

Free with meal

Thick and chunky, the hot and mild salsas offer delicious flavors. The mild has no spice to it and offers a rich tomato taste. When eating the hot salsa, have plenty of water nearby.

Four stars

Tortas Jalisco

534 Frontier Rd.

Lawrence, KS 66049

$2.50

The chips are delicious; thick, crunchy and not too greasy. The salsas, however, are bland. The hot is bland until the last second when a slight jalapeño flavor kicks in. The mild has zero flavor and is so runny it won’t stay on the chip long enough to put in your mouth.

Two stars

Cielito Lindo

815 New Hampshire St.

Lawrence, KS 66044

Free with meal

Cielito Lindo offers decent chips and salsa. The waiter offered one salsa that had a mild tomato taste with a spicy flavor at the end. The chips are nothing special, but still satysfying.

Three stars

La Familia

733 New Hampshire St.

Lawrence, KS 66044

Free with meal

Definitely the best place for variety, La Familia offers hot, mild and sweet. The hot has a yummy spicy flavor without setting the tongue on fire and the mild presents a smokey flavor with a little spice added. However, nothing beats the sweet salsa; no spice, and not much of a tomato flavor. Just unique and perfect.

Five stars
