Fuzzy’s Taco Shop

Solid tacos, good prices, friendly staff. This is my go to spot for tacos in town. Note if only they would do something about their bathroom…

I’m a HUGE regular for Fuzzy’s! This is a great place for lunch/​dinner for food/​drinks.
Highly suggest the tortas or nachos here. The fish or shrimp tortas are my favorites for ~$ 6 with potatoes included. The breakfast tortas is also something I go for when I’m feeling brunchy. The nachos are gigantic and is filling enough to be ordered as an entrée (maybe even shared). The servers are really cool and willing to customize dishes. Big fan and always recommending this place to my friends!

Great place and great service! Been going here for years they have they best tacos in town.

Great, unique tacos. I have the fried fish and the spicy pork tacos. I would recommend both! Loved the aioli sauce and the feta cheese. The chips and queso were good, guac was decent, but they give you big portions of the queso and guac, so you don’t need both. Will be back for sure

Nothing fancy here but the food is solid and the price is really affordable.
Same with the space, nothing fancy a hand ful of tap beers and margaritas. Small out door patio as well right on mass steet.
I had a combo plate with a brisket taco and chicken enchilada. I thought the taco was average but thought the enchilada was above average with a little spice. Another person had chicken nachos which were very good.
Is a great place for good affordable tex-​mex.

Love Fuzzy’s! If you accept it for what it is, a decently priced Tex-​Mex place with above average food and margaritas, you’ll be happy. Don’t go expecting anything fancy, your food comes in a red basket, after all. I’ve never had anything that disappointed me. I like the shrimp quesadilla best and the potatoes that you can get as a side are so good! The margaritas are very good considering it’s somewhat fast food. Go without expectations and see what you think.

The tamales here are fantastic. Also had a bite of the shredded beef taco. Delicious. The potatoes side is amazing. Fuzzy’s over Chipotle any day.

Best cheese enchiladas of my life. I’m not going to order this dish anywhere else for the rest of my life because there is no point.
This is a great cheap little place for tex-​mex. Loved it.

Great taco spot for non traditional Mexican food.
Enchilada was great and the Barracho beans had a good beer taste to them.
The food was piping hot when it came out and took a perfect amount of time not too short but long enough you know your food was freshly made.

If you’re trying to eat healthy (or anything close to healthy) this is not the place. Lots of fake cheese. Strange tasting chips and guacamole. Tried a bunch of items and couldn’t find anything I liked. On the positive side, the location was good.

Really good salads and tacos but when I asked for taco sauce or salsa for my beef taco I was told it would cost 50 cents. That is like charging for salad dressing on a salad or ketchup for a burger! Bummer!

Fuzzy’s is an excellent late night Tex-​Mex option, located close to the action on Mass street. As in, when I walked out of Fuzzy’s after having queso and guac late Friday night, there were police everywhere, asking folks to vacate «Brothers Bar & Grill» (colloquially referred to as Brothers), an establishment known for accepting fake IDs.
Fuzzy’s has quick service, a good selection of vegetarian options, and a strong following in Lawrence. There’s even a loyalty program to earn free food or apparel.
Tip: The cup of guac sits on a bed of lettuce in an already tiny cup. The best value meal here is certainly the nachos, but the tacos are decent.

The nachos were great. It was our second visit here because they usually have a line to the door so we skip them. It’s a very loud environment, don’t expect a quiet conversation with your date.

Fantastic place to eat on Mass Street, with very good selection, and the prices are outstanding. Decent selection of beer, but it’s nice and cold. Fun atmosphere. Seems more family friendly than some other places downtown.

Free Winona and free salsa…
Forrest Gump may not be a smart man but even he knows that charging for chips and salsa is bunk. Bet it would help your beer sales!
Food is ok and the prices are good… but they are wheezing the salsa!

Oh. My. God.
Guys, I stopped by really quick just to grab what I figured would be a semi-​decent taco and was pleasantly surprised with what I discovered.
I bought a pork taco, chicken taco, and a soda. It was like $ 5-​good deal so far right?
Only waited a couple minutes for my food to be done. When I bit into the first taco-​me chickén-​I literally said ‘Oh my God’-out loud. As small pieces of corn tortilla, lettuce, and whatever sweet cheese they use flew out of my mouth in a beautiful dance, I couldn’t help by smile and do the nod thing. (You know, like how when you eat something good you always turn to your friend and start nodding and make some sort of affirming noise like ‘Mmmm mhmmm!’)
Anyway, I moved on to the pork after I scarfed down the chicken and I liked it EVEN MORE.
Say whaaaaa?!?
That’s right. It was even better.
If you’re ever in the area, stop here. Eat food here. They have good food. Eat it. Smile, nod, scream-​do whatever. Just eat here.
You’re welcome.

What a cool strip of restaurants and shops and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is there at the front to welcome you at the entrance.
The Records family that owns this place really puts their care and hard work into making this a good place to come and have a good time while enjoying good food. Anytime I am in Lawrence I will be sure and stop by!
Always get the fried fish and you can’t go wrong.

I come here once or twice a week after I drop my son off at nursery school. I like a light lunch, and for a whopping $ 2.16, I can get a taco (for me, soft shell, shredded beef, hold the tomatoes, add hot sauce), which is just enough to get me through the day. The tacos have feta and a garlic sauce, additions I haven’t encountered elsewhere and, as anyone who knows me can attest, I can never have too much garlic.
The décor is as you should expect from a place called Fuzzy’s Taco: a surf shack feel with innuendo that makes the middle schooler in you giggle. I have a middle school-​aged stepson. He giggles. Case closed. There are six TVs turned to various sports-​related programming, loud «classic» rock, advertisements for beer and local businesses.
You order, you wait, your number’s called. I’ve yet to encounter surly staff and the older gentleman who seems to be owner is very kind and helpful (he just walked me to places I can plug in my laptop). It’s pretty busy in here right now and I only waited about three minutes, though there were two orders ahead of mine.
Booths, tables, high tops, and patio seating.
When I’m with my family or a few friends, I’ll order chips and queso with a beer or margarita. No complaints. I’m not a fan of their use of styrofoam for sides of rice and such, though.
If you’re so inclined, they have an app you can download. Scan your receipt or play their game to earn points toward future food. How do you think I just paid for my three tacos?

Fuzzy’s is the taco place that downtown Lawrence needs.
Fuzzy’s opened a couple of years ago in a space that was formerly a dance studio at the end of the Massachusetts business district. Fuzzy’s is a chain out of Ft. Worth, Texas and is located in scattered locations outside of TX. The menu is straightforward and features typical Tex-​Mex fare — spiced meats, cheese, and lettuce on or in tortillas. The menu prices are very reasonable with combination plates that include rice and beans for around $ 7. Fuzzy’s also has a liquor license and can serve beer and cocktails, though bar service comes from the register so I believe cocktail items are limited to a specified menu. Food is ordered at a register, and then the ticket is announced from the kitchen window when the order is ready.
On our most recent visit, Fuzzy’s was celebrating being chosen as the best tacos in town by a survey and had $ 0.50 tacos, though I think that the normal price of $ 1.99 (or marginally less, in combinations, and probably a Taco Tuesday special) is still a pretty good price for a well-​made, flavorful, and quick taco. You have your choice of soft or hard-​shell tacos, choice of beef, chicken, shredded pork, grilled shrimp, and fish: the fish tacos also have the option of grilled or fried fish — I typically opt for the grilled, but Mrs. R had the fried fish and said it was very good. Tacos will have the meat (though there is also a veggie option) and a mixed mountain of shredded lettuce and queso fresco (a Mexican cheese similar to feta). I usually eat mine as such, but each table does also feature a bottle of Fuzzy’s «Butt Burnin’ Sauce» which is a hot sauce of mild-​medium strength. When you have beans, you are also given the option of refried pintos, black, or borracho («drunk», cooked with pork and beer), and I always go borracho. Rice also includes the choice of mix-​Mex or cilantro-​lime, and I like to mix it up between the two. I believe there is also an option for fried potatoes as a side, but I have never had them.
Since Fuzzy’s has a liquor license, there are options for getting beer to go with your food (and what Tex-​Mex is not improved by a beer on the side). Beer typically comes in a ~20 oz. frosty goblet that has the kind of heft that could stove in someone’s skull in a bar fight (fortunately, Fuzzy’s has always been a place of peace in my experience, but good to know in case of zombies). This also means that Fuzzy’s can be a late-​night stop for needed sustenance after day drinking (say, during the KU sports seasons) but to still keep that drink on. Fuzzy’s also stays open late (ca. 3) and does last-​call at the same time as other bars, so proper planning will let you enjoy tacos and beer right up to the end of the evening.
Fuzzy’s also has breakfast — for when you want to start your day off right with tacos. Combinations of eggs, cheese, bacon, and potatoes make for some damn-​tasty wake-​ups. Additionally, the Bloody Marys, also served in the frosty goblets, have a great flavor and a good kick of spice to jumpstart your day.

Other than the fact that I have ordered guacamole on two occasions and was told «sorry, we are out of guacamole», Fuzzy’s is great! How can a Mexican restaurant be out of guacamole? Anyway, the tacos are excellent and at $ 2 a pop, A LAWRENCE BEST VALUE. They come crispy or soft, regular or Habañero, and with ground beef, shredded beef, chicken, or pork, so you can mix and match with other tacos, enchiladas, burritos, tort as (sandwiches), fajitas, and more. Beside the meat of your choice, lettuce, tomato, and crumbled feta cheese are added. I prefer the shredded beef tacos.
The guacamole is pretty good although resting on a bed of shredded lettuce, the size is deceiving. At $ 3.99, including chips, the price is comparable to other Lawrence Mexican restaurants. The chili con queso ($ 3.49 including chips) is also good and like the guacamole can be ordered ala carte (no chips).
The fajitas are «OK», nothing great. The enchiladas come with a white (cheese) sauce, so you have to ask if you want the more familiar red sauce. They are well done, not the best I have had, but better than most Lawrence enchiladas I have tried.
For a self-​service, fast food restaurant, Fuzzy’s puts out good Mexican fare at a reasonable price. Their margaritas are not cheap ($ 6), but are decent and reasonably fortified. There are drink and beer specials daily, but do not expect anything close to those you can find at El Mezcal (23^rd Street) in size or price. In all, Fuzzy’s is an outstanding value and a neighborhood gem … BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARRIVE BEFORE THE SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES THAT FREQUENT FUZZY’S!
