Vecina

Met my best friend for brunch. We wanted to try something new. The location was one I was familiar with and I was surprised the decor didn't look chainish. The bartender Hector was our waiter. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and he placed an appetizer and drink ordered while I waited. Once my friend got there she placed a drink and app order as well and it was brought quickly. The chicken was good, the corn was spicy. The shaved Brussels were unexpected in their flavor but would work great with salmon. The beef was the best dish. Overall it was all great and we will be back.

Delicious food. good service. This is NOT TexMex. This is chef-crafted incredibly flavorful Latin-inspired cuisine. Guacamole actually tasted like avocados. Ceviche was bright and perfectly handled. Confit brisket taco on fresh tortilla was flavor bomb. Great fancy lunch or date nite.

I hate to say it but this place is overrated. First off-there were 6 of us and they sat us at a booth but the booths are so deep the servers can't reach you and they have to pass your food or drink down so every person touches it. You also can't reach any shareable dishes. They need a better design. Second-food was ok at best. Several items were spicy which I was not expecting but all portions were small. I felt it was on the higher end of price but the food or restaurant vibes didn't match the price. The strawberry dresser we ordered was so hard you couldn't cut it. Third-service was amassing! We had a server Shantel and he had a server in training and they were great!

We were there for dinner last night and didn't enjoy our experience. The tacos were overpriced for what you get--small portions that aren't even shareable. Even though our server said the dishes were meant for sharing. One of the big drawbacks was the lack of clarity around spice levels. The menu didn't indicate if the dishes would be spicy, so I was in a bit of a surprise when I ate my steak tacos. For the elotes, they were very tangy and were very overpriced for what it is. We were ordering that to go with the tacos since they don't come with a side. And the elotes came out before for our tacos which we waited for because we didn't want to eat it on its own. So it was frustrating. We did enjoy the karaage-crispy and flavorful. The aioli was on the tangy side though. Cocktails were probably the highlight of the meal. Reasonably priced, generous portion compared to the food. Overall, while I appreciate the effort to bring some bold flavors to the table, I don't think we will be returning. It's definitely not worth the price.

What a wonderful addition to OKC's already impressive lineup of great restaurants. The place is lively but conversation at our table was just fine, even though we were seated near the door. We had a great group of servers taking care of us led by Lexi. Sometimes the service at new restaurants is challenging but not here. We received fantastic service from the moment we were greeted at the door. The menu is littered with unfamiliar terms and ingredients that you may want to Google beforehand. My husband and I did this before our visit and really had fun learning new names and techniques. It made our visit even better and we were very excited to try new dishes. We were a foursome and treated the menu more like a tapas, sharing bites among friends. This allowed us the opportunity to sample many more dishes than usual. We started with a simple chips and guacamole, which was clearly fresh and made in-house. Next time we'll definitely start with the salsa trio as it sounds equally delicious. Next we ordered the White Bean Purée. The addition of the short ribs makes this a dish not to overlook. We also had the Karaage which is a Japanese style fried chicken. It's not something I'd imagine seeing on a Latin restaurant menu but boy am I glad it is. You can't go wrong with it. You order sides for the table so we chose Elote (Mexican style corn) and Papas Verde (potatoes with verde sauce), as well as a Romaine salad. I didn't get a picture of the salad until it had been dished out so my apologies for the incomplete photo. My husband and I ordered tacos, the Suadero (brisket) for me and the Skirt Steak for him. Both were loaded with flavor but not spicy hot if that's your concern. Our friends ordered the Smoked Half Chicken to share between them. I had a taste and it was terrific, juicy and flavorful. In spite of the mountain of food we'd enjoyed, we couldn't resist dessert, two of them actually. The Banana Bread came with a peanut butter mousse and these delicious cookie and coconut crumbles. The bread was moist and delicious but that mousse was simply fantastic. I've never had anything like it and would buy it by the jar if I could. The Concha is another delightfully unique dish. They take strawberry ice cream, coat it with cornflakes and deep fry it. It turns out looking like a fried chicken breast. They use a Mexican style sweet bread for the buns and deliver it with a knife stuck into the "sandwich" as you'd expect with the real thing. I couldn't try it due to a food allergy but my three tablemates devoured it in short order. If you have a sweet tooth Vecina has the answer for that. I'm very impressed with the food and the wonderful service. It's a fun place and we can't wait to go back soon.

Came in for date night at 730p was able to get seated quick. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable helping us what to order for our first time. Ordered karage which was super tender and pairs very nicely with sauce. Pork belly taco was flavorful and love the peanuts thats on it which gave it the crunchy taste. Mussel was delicious and was a big portion. Rib eye was good with the chimichurri which was a bit spicy. Overall I got full towards the end. Will definitely come back and try other things

A pretty sweet Latin restaurant with an interior environment that is baller AF and with excellent cuisine - more on the gourmet side with lesser portions however. Service also top-notch. Got the elote corn off the cob and salmon tacos, which were great. Wanted to try the hiramasa collar but they were out. Definitely check this place out - it is new and opened in January of 2025 I believe.

Loved trying this new place. Such a fun atmosphere. We sat at the bar Shawn was super attentive and had great recommendations. The drinks were unique and tasty but the magic is in the food. We had some kind of spicy shrimp, so good! The sauce made this dish! A fabulous blend of spicy, paprika, garlic butter. Also had the white bean and short rib. It was delicious!

Once we were seated it took 15 minutes for our server to take our drink order and didn't seem to worried about really anything. It wasn't busy and you could even see the cook staff from the kitchen waiting for him to take orders. As brought up in prior comments serving size is small and not shareable as the waiter described. There are no sides, what you order is what you get with no option to add sides. I had what I would call street tacos with one piece of marinated beef. After our meal we did order dessert and got two because the food portions were so small. The desserts came out and were a generous portion, so they could have been shared. Very pricey for what you get. All in all food was tasty, service was so so, but wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

Overall 10/10 experience. Amazing food, service, and ambiance! We ordered and loved the brisket tacos, garlic shrimp, mussels, and salsa trio. We will definitely be back soon!
