26 years in Shawnee
Abuelita Rosa's has been part of Shawnee for 26 years. Marcial and Dolores built it from the ground up, cooking the recipes handed down from Dolores's grandmother, Rosa, the abuelita the restaurant is named for. They have looked after this community ever since, and many of the people who welcome you at the door have been here since the very first day.
