Amigos Locos brings fresh ‘Midwest Mexican’ dining
Michelle Rodriguez got her golden ticket and fulfilled her dream of starting a Mexican restaurant. Huston Hospitality owner Scott Huston brought her into the fold and let her work to bring a new dining experience to her hometown. "A golden ticket like Willy Wonka," Rodriguez said. "It was really surreal, just like seeing it and like seeing people eating the food and like seeing my logo on that really big wall. It was really surreal." Earlier in October, Amigos Locos , located at 4745 NW Hunters Ridge Circle , launched. Rodriguez said working with Huston on the project was amazing. "Creating a Mexican bar and grill has always been my dream," Rodriguez said. "I grew up here in Topeka. So, I just knew that there was a love for Midwest Mexican food; if that's a thing."

'Chef's Kiss' reopens as a new Topeka catering business
