Delicias Del Sur

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEWthey still had their Christmas lights up and it was ADORABLE inside. The staff were so, so kind and the food was great. We came for brunch and I got the Pabelleon arepa which was DELICIOUS; such a nice cook on the arepa and the flavor was rich - I did not, however, have the banana chips because they come from a shared fryer. The staff are knowledgeable about these risks for CC and will offer substitutes (I got a small side salad)We also ended with the chocolate tres leches - YUMMMM, all their desserts are marked GF or not in the case up front.I did not get sick!

Delicias Del Sur has become one of our favorite places. The arepas are excellent. We like all the appetizers too. The deserts are all delicious, but the coconut cake is mind blowing. The bar has some great drinks. I enjoy the Peruvian Pisco Sour.

But first, coffee!! Late breakfast for me at 10:30 on a Friday morning, but lovely place.Not many folks at this hour, in fact the one other diner just left so now it's just me and staff!The food is delicious. I opted for the Awesome Veggie B&G. You can tell these are homemade biscuits--the inside is tender and the outside of the biscuit is crisp, good flavor overall.This meal is not vegan, and I don't think it's gluten free, but the flavors are good. I'd like to try their *Beef Style to compare.The cafe mocha is tasty too.Service is fine--not doting but not elusive either. No complaints about that at this establishment.I'd come back to try something else.

I was so excited to try Delciias del Sur! I live in MHK so I do not get to Lawrence often when a new restaurant opens. I have been following Delicias del Sur on fb and decided to stop in Lawrence when returning from Kansas City this past weekend. There was an extensive brunch menu, but I asked my server if I could order from the regular menu. He said it was fine, so I got a pabellon arepa! It came out stuffed with shredded beef, black beans, plantains, and cheese and a side of a creamy green sauce. It was hot and tasty!When I first sat down, I was given a carafe of cold water and a clear mug to drink it in. I chatted with the server, who told me he had recently moved from Cuba to the U.S., first to Vegas then to Lawrence. I thought that was pretty random since I moved from Vegas to Kansas too (though I was in LV a lot longer than a few months)! Delicias del Sur has a beautiful dessert case which I walked by but talked myself out of trying anything. I was drawn to a special of the day, coconut cake, and arroz con leche. There was also a tres leches cake (my fave) so I really had to restrain myself. The arepa was very filling and satisfying. The brunch menu has savory and sweet crepes which sounded fun too. The restaurant was also brightly decorated with flags from various Central and South American countries. I will definitely return next time I get to Lawrence!

Met a friend for breakfast today. Very friendly staff, quick service, and GREAT food! I ordered the Cubano coffee- right on point- and both of us ordered the choripata (?): housemade chorizo with roasted bell peppers, onions and potatoes, topped with 2 any style eggs. We both chose over easy, and they were done perfectly. The decor was lovely; very thematic but understated and comfortable without being kitschy. I bought a canelo to take home for my kid- like a cannelloni but filled with (presumably housemade) caramel. He really enjoyed it.I feel a little silly- I've been thinking this is a South American bakery-ish place, but it's really a full service restaurant.Btw, I'll be trying out their Cuban-style speakeasy in the basement VERY soon! It's open Fri & Sat from 8/9(?) til midnight.

This place is amazing. Food is really good and great service. Right now the decorations are very festive and totally worth the trip.

This is a nice place to stop for a coffee and food with comfortable seating and friendly service. I have had several business lunches here, and we typically grab two comfy seats by the windows in front. It's a great place to people watch, and have a quiet conversation with food. The tables we use in front are more like round stands, but there are other regular seats and tables available. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere has been pretty quiet, with high ceilings that don't seem to reverberate conversations. The food we have ordered is tasty, and the coffee is good.

Excellent Empanadas!! The Ceasar salad was really good, nice change of pace. Enjoyed a little different culture of food...

Service was superb very informative of the cuisine and the food was exceptional, beautiful atmosphere

What a gem in downtown Lawrence! Owners are passionate about their business and it is apparent in the food and atmosphere. Wait staff is attentive and engaged. Our table tried multiple entrees and everyone loved their food. Fresh juice, crepes, empanadas, avocado toast, all prepared perfect and delicious.
