Abel’s Mexican Restaurant: the Taqueria / Okla-Mex combo

by Sarah | August 25, 2010 | 9 Comments

Abel’s is both an authentic Mexican taqueria and a full-service Okla-Mex restaurant. They offer the standard Okla-Mex set-up with chips, salsa, sopapillas … etc., alongside some very authentic street tacos, Mexican seafood dishes, and aguas frescas. It’s unlike any other place you’ll find, especially in Warr Acres.

Alvarado’s Mexican Restaurant has higher quality and higher prices

by Greg | September 13, 2008 | 9 Comments

The prices at Alvarado’s tend to be a little higher than some competitors, and if the selection weren’t so great and the dishes so consistently delicious, I could see going someplace else. As it is, though, there aren’t many places in Edmond that can give your taste buds the same treatment as Alvarado’s.

Big Truck Tacos: street tacos with a gourmet twist

by Tim | September 15, 2009 | 44 Comments

Though there are some things I’m hoping they will change, Big Truck Tacos is definitely worth your attention. After all, taking something as awesome as a taqueria-style taco and sprucing it up with culinary creativity is very exciting and unique for Oklahoma City.

Chalo’s Tacos: street tacos without the street

by Tim | April 2, 2009 | 14 Comments

If Chalo’s Tacos were just a taco truck, I’d say go to Taqueria Sanchez. If it were on the south side, I’d say you have lots of other options to try. But as it is, I say if you’re located in northwest Oklahoma City and looking for a true taqueria where you can sit down and eat with friends, give Chalo’s Tacos a try.

Chica’s Mexican Cafe: they serve fresh fruit (and other surprises)

by Tim | May 7, 2008 | 11 Comments

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Mexican restaurant that offers fresh fruit as an alternative to rice and beans. I have to say, I like it. When I saw it on the menu, I knew that Chica’s was unique.

Chipotle Mexican Grill: a guide for Oklahoma City

by Tim | January 5, 2008 | 47 Comments

It’s finally here! Now, I know Chipotle is a chain and this site is about local Oklahoma City restaurants, but I make a very emphatic exception to my “no chain” rule when it comes to Chipotle. Read on to find out why. Plus, I offer you my guide for experiencing the best Chipotle has to offer.

El Regio Loco: Shady Restaurant of the Month

by Andrew | December 18, 2007 | 11 Comments

December’s “Shady Restaurant of the Month” award winner epitomizes everything that those who love shady spots look for in an eatery. I have chosen El Regio Loco and will implore anyone who reads this to work up the nerve to eat somewhere unconventional and try this place.

Iguana Mexican Grill reopens in downtown Oklahoma City

by Tim | August 13, 2008 | 50 Comments

Perhaps you remember the Iguana from its old location on Western Avenue. I remember eating there several times and noting its uniqueness. Now it’s back and continuing to provide an interesting alternative to Oklahoma City’s standard Mexican food places.

Los Comales: Shady Restaurant of the Month

by Andrew | May 15, 2009 | 33 Comments

Los Comales is worth the trip to Stockyard City for those wanting a good taqueria experience. If you are tired of being insulted by other “Mexican” joints in town offering bland flavors and “cheese” jelly, this will be a breath of fresh air (assuming there isn’t a cattle auction going on down the road, in which case you shouldn’t breathe too deeply).

Max Burger: Shady Restaurant of the Month

by Andrew | February 19, 2008 | 19 Comments

Attention Shady Restaurant lovers everywhere. From the makers of Max Pollo comes Oklahoma City’s newest burger and taco joint … Max Burger!

Max Pollo – authentically authentic

by Andrew | October 5, 2007 | 22 Comments

Authentic. Is there a word that is more mis-used among the general American public? I hear it every day at work, “Hey Andrew, we are going down to Tacoville for lunch. That place is crazy authentic, you will love it!”. After I hurt their feelings, unintentionally, by pointing out their ignorance in cuisine, I usually invite them to come join me in a truly authentic experience in Capitol Hill at Max Pollo.

Mi Familia Restaurante: some cultural flavor for Bethany

by Andrew | April 9, 2008 | 8 Comments

Mi Familia Restaurante gives you the opportunity to try something different in the Bethany area. Are there better restaurants out there? Sure. However, this place definitely provides a unique take on Central American food that is worth noting.

Red Onion Mexican Restaurant: the best fajitas in Oklahoma City

by Levi | November 30, 2007 | 8 Comments

PLEASE NOTE: Red Onion is no longer in business. // Sometimes you just want pie. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a place for great pie yet, but I have found the best place in Oklahoma City to satisfy your fajita craving.

Tamales El Patio: Shady Restaurant of the Month

by Andrew | October 13, 2009 | 22 Comments

This review is about the best Mexican-style tamales in town. I say that with absolutely no reservations. No “I think,” no “possibly,” — absolutely no trepidation. I speak with confidence because I believe I have eaten at every authentic-ish Mexican restaurant on the south side of Oklahoma City and, unfortunately, at my fair share of Okla-Mex places as well.

Taqueria Los Desvelados: Shady Restaurant of the Month

by Andrew | October 13, 2008 | 21 Comments

Sure, from the outside it stirs up fear and uneasiness with the best of them, but inside you feel pretty comfortable. Shady novices should stick with daylight hours, but for the more experienced shady adventurists, Taqueria Los Desvelados lets you adventure late into the night. After all, desvelados translates as “kept awake.”

Taqueria Sanchez: mobile Shady Restaurant of the Month

by Andrew | May 23, 2008 | 23 Comments

Oklahoma City, it’s time to celebrate the shadiness of ordering food while standing on a street corner. Taco stands are cheap, convenient, and they offer a level of taco, burrito, and gordita goodness that most restaurants in town only dream of.

Zarate’s: South American food found up north (in Edmond)

by Sarah | April 21, 2010 | 13 Comments

Zarate’s offers another great opportunity for Edmond and Oklahoma City residents to explore beyond the Tex-Mex and Okla-Mex we all know so well. Step into Zarate’s for authentic South American and Central American cuisine on the north side.
