"So good!! Nice ambiance with great waitstaff, good drinks and great food. We had the happy hour tacos. He had chicken and I had shrimp which was just delicious! We both had margaritas which were also excellent! Highly recommended."

Los Mariachis Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (58) • $$

"Looks clean and new inside. Because it was "hot and new" and we were in the area, we decided to try it for lunch. Lunch portions were pretty big. I tried the Chile Relleno and a soft beef taco (#1). The taco was large and pretty good. The relleno was OK. Complimentary salsa was pretty spicy (but not overly) as was the red sauce on the relleno. Pretty solid three kind of place."

La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (83) • $$

"I came here Sunday night with a small group of 5 people in total. We were promptly seated, and they brought out chips and multiple salsas, the chips were hot and the salsas were fresh. The "hot" one had a little hey-how-ya-doing to it but still enjoyable. (A pleasant heat). After enjoying an El Jefe Margarita, I was feeling good. While you could not taste the alcohol, it was enjoyable, and the levels were perfectly mixed. For my entrée I ordered a chicken taco platter, which consisted of 3 tacos, and each was filled to the top with chicken cubed and grilled to a beautiful golden brown and fresh veggie. I ended up spooking on a little of the hot salsa on it, and it brought it from a solid 8 to a 10. This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and have never been let down. Keep up the good work everyone."

"We came here today with a party of 6 today. Arrived at 5pm and they wasn't busy at all. So we got a table for 6 and it wasn't long before we had fresh hot chips and great salsa. The waiter took our drink order and it didn't take him 5 mins to serve our drinks and Cheese dip. By now the restaurant is starting to fill up and our food was out in about 15 mins. The fajita jalasco is one of my favorite fajitas which has beef,chicken & shrimp. These came out sizzling and they were so good. Also ordered the bean Chulapa which was filled with beans. The other party of ours had a pollo loco which looked outstanding as well. We had great service and the food was spot on. Will be back very soon!!!!"

Gabrielas Mexican Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (38) • $

"When we were in the area visiting we came across this Mexican restaurant and stopped in for a Late lunch early dinner. Very nice waitstaff that took care of our needs. First they bring out hot fresh tortilla chips and salsa which is really good. There menu is basically the same as any Mexican restaurant. So we went with the fajitas and the carna asada tacos. All I can say is the food we received was tasty n delicious. The fajitas came out smoking hot and love the fajita setup,beans,rice,sour cream, guacamole& pico. The Carna Asada tacos were just as good with lots of steak in it. It wasn't a expensive dinner but it was a delicious dinner. Will definitely be coming back the Margaritas looked like fun lol"

Ricardos Mexican Restaurant

Don't care....Still love them.Also love their lunch special.Service has always been great. Was pleased to see that all the workers were masked and they were taking social distancing seriously. We will be back!"

Chico’s Mexican Grill & Cantina

"Blademir our server took VIP like care of us on this first visit for us. Order came out and was piping hot and accurate. The kitchen did fantastic.Working in the area (driven by multiple times & after T-ball game and the fam was craving Mexican. Our food was cooked lightning fast and it was piping hot.

"Friendly service! We love the great salsa, guacamole & margaritas! Mexican fried potatoes aren't on the menu yet but you can request them and they're very good!"

Don Ciro's

★★★★★ 4.5 (87) • $

"I can't say enough good things about Don Ciro's! The customer service is always great! Drinks are kept filled, chips and salsa are bottomless, and the food is always delicious! I prefer my salsa spicier than what they serve, I always ask for the hotter salsa. It's not only spicy but tastes great too! I moved here from CA so my taste for Mexican food isn't the same as the Midwest. I am not a Tex Mex gal. I prefer more authentic Mexican food and this is pretty darn good for small town Shawnee! Rice and beans are flavorful, food is always hot and doesn't lack seasoning like other places here in town. Rice is always cooked to perfection and not crunchy. It's crazy I have to even say this, but I've never been in a place where I've had more uncooked rice in my life! They will ask you at the end if you want a sopapilla as well (a little sweet treat).When you're feeling like Mexican food, give this small town place a try. You won't be sorry! Some of my recommendations:Quesabirria tacos with consume MolcajeteGorditas Carne asada fries"

Chimi's Mexican Food

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (65) • $

"So much food for so little price. If you maximize everything available, you could save some moolah and get more food. Chimi's gives you a free dessert with each Yelp check-in. To get it you have to be persistent with your server, asking her to speak to the manager. I had to show the manager who said she has never seen it. Nevertheless, I was able to get a free dessert in the end. When I walked in, there was no one in the front so I just found myself a table. Server came by after a few minutes. They gave me 2 chips and 4 salsa. I was really confused and for a moment thought I was special. As it turned out, they thought I had 4 people. After I told them that I was by myself, they took 1 chip and 3 salsa away. I no longer felt special. For the entree I had the chicken enchilada with rice and refried beans for a mere $9.99. My inexperience of Mexican cuisine caused a poor lapse of judgement. I wanted quesadilla but got enchilada and quesadilla mixed up. The food at Chimi's was good. I really couldn't tell the difference between the food here versus other places. Food tasted the same to me. Chimi's offers 6% cash back through Upside. My Chase credit card happens to offer 7% cash back on restaurants this quarter. I ended saving 13% on a $10.84 tab. In addition, a free dessert on top. No matter how much I disliked the service at Chimi's, I can't help but to recommend. With so many benefits, it is crazy for me not to recommend. If people were to ask me why they should go to Chimi's, I would simply answer that question with one word, VALUE."

Taqueria Express

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"This location is fairly new for this food truck. Great asada tacos and red hot sauce. They are small. But, only cost $1.25 each. The lady that waited on me spoke excellent English. A real plus for me. Since I need to study my Spanish a lot more. So sometimes I have a language barrier at these places. Not here. I asked her what she recommended next time? She said the chicken was popular. Also the Barbacoa was really good. Barbacoa is stewed beef. I am getting that next time."

Tapatio Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12)

"Exceptional food. Portions are very good. Presentation is excellent. Service was very good. Ambiance is nice. Wood chaos and art added a nice touch. I have tried it twice. I wanted to try the other Mexican restaurants in the area. This is definitely the best one! Thank you for your delicious food."

La Huerta Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (36)

"Honestly, we were hesitant to go because of all the previously failed restaurants in this location. However, after seeing some positive reviews, we decided to give it a try. I would totally recommend this place.The staff worked hard and were friendly. We went on a night with live music, which was a total delight. The performer was actually really good!The food was good, and the portions were large. The chips and salsa were above the normal standard fare. We returned on Taco Tuesday and definitely recommend the El Pastor. The beef was good; the chicken was a bit dry but still of good quality.There's outside patio seating and plenty of indoor and bar seating as well. Come support this place!"

El Nino Mexican Restaurant

El Ranchero Food Trucks

★★★★☆ 3.7 (60) • $

"We have been trying to find authentic Mexican food here in Tulsa for awhile, and we finally did! The Roja salsa definitely has a kick to it, thank goodness. The crispy taco was a basic crispy taco and it was perfect. The Carne Asada had such good flavor on its own, and wasn't dry at all. My husbands birria was everything he wanted and more, and the flavor was spot on to those we've had in Mexico!"

Las Palmas

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (47) • $$

"Decided to stop here while house hunting on the west side!! The wait was a little awkward as we stood at the hostess desk waiting to be seated for a good 5 minutes without even being greeted. There were at least 5-6 employees to pass us while we waited. We almost left but were saved by a waitress before we turned our backs! The food was good, it wasn't anything super exciting but good! The cheese dip was a little bland but the carne asada tacos were excellent. The margarita I had was really strong, you could feel the warmth from the alcohol before it even hit my throat! We had so much food and left with our bellies full! We ordered the all a cart carne asada tacos, cheese dip and a small margarita on the rocks. Oh and the salsa was great, for sure one of my favorites in NWA!"

Chile Verde Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (11)

"Always on the lookout for something new we stopped in this little place. Service was great! Youre supposed to walk in and order at the counter, but we took menus and sat at a table to check out the offerings. We ordered the chimichanga , enchilada plate, a couple of street tacos and two fountain drinks. It was less than $18 for all that!! We both decided that we'd come back next time and just fill up on the tacos because they were that good! They have 2 sauces, both delicious. The green has just the right amount of heat. The red one is a bit hotter..... ease into that one because the heat builds! If you go this weekend, TACOS ARE ONLY .75 cents each!! Seriously just go eat here! The people are so so nice!"

Maria's Mexican Restaurant

"Good food at a decent price!! Yelp location was wrong on the map. Said it was a 2minute walk, but it was more like a 5 minute drive."

Tacos Maria's

★★★★★ 4.8 (14)

"Holy Guacamole!This place has some of the best street tacos outside of Mexico City (having been there recently).Was a bit skeptical, given where I was at geographically, but I was very pleasantly surprised.Sampled like 4 different tacos. They were all muy sabroso! The prices are very affordable and the staff was very friendly. My expectations were exceeded.The tacos are pretty authentic Mexican style street tacos. This place is a hidden gem that won't be unknown for long."

El Asadero

★★★★☆ 4.3 (19) • $

"Honestly I couldn't find anything to eat because I'm vegan, but they were an oasis is a sea of closed businesses during COVID-19. I was passing by and I thought "Mexican Coca-Cola" and they didn't disappoint. They were nice, the restaurant was clean, and they were honest that they didn't have anything without animal products."

Catrina Fresh Mex

★★★★☆ 4 (29)

"Cons: my friends always criticize this restaurant. But I personally have never had any problem with them besides the one time my husband and I came to eat here and they didn't have the heat on and all the staff were wearing big puffy coats because it was winter time. but today today I had a problem. I placed an order online and I paid for it. If I hadn't pre paid for it, I would've left. The order was supposed to be ready after 8:15. when I got there, they made me wait 30 additional minutes for my order. Which made me late for work. Pros: like I said, I've never had a problem with this location until today. They're usually really fast when I order food online and pick up the drive-through."

Casa De Los Milagros Mexican Restaurant And Cantina

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (166) • $$

"We had more food than we could eat! The chips are made there and were amazing. I love salsa that isn't just juice, but chunks of goodness - theirs did not disappoint. The drinks were good, too. Our server was attentive and sweet. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful."

Mayra’s Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"It was great! I do miss Fridas but Mayra's does really good at keeping it the same way. Food is great! Service is well with the waiters speaking both English and Spanish. Place has nice seats, with the nice music! Please visit this place!"

Mexico Joe's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (135) • $$

"In town working and the front desk at the hotel suggested Mexico Joe's especially for the chips and salsa. I went before 5 to beat the crowd. I found an open spot at the bar and ordered a burbon and coke. Bartender brought me chips and salsa and suggested the chicken bacon quesadilla. Chips and salsa were mediocre at best. Chips seemed to be homemade, but the salsa was bland. The quesadilla came out, and that was great. My expectation after the salsa was low, so when the quesadilla came out, i cautiously took a bite. That was an impressive quesadilla. The chicken was tender, and the cheese and bacon were plentiful. It had an incredible cheese pull. If I were to recommend this place, it would be for that, not the chips and salsa. My Bourbon and coke was strong! Jody The Bartender was super friendly and engaging. She had been there since opening and was having to close bc someone called in, but she kept a smile on her face and a positive attitude. Overall, it was a good time, and the regulars who frequent the place were friendly as well."

El Potosino

★★★★★ 4.7 (32) • $

"I've only had breakfast at Potosino but I've had it more than once it is so good. This place can get crowded and parking isn't the best, you'll likely have to park on a neighborhood street if you go during a busy time. But, it's worth the wait and slight parking difficulty, so don't let the time waiting deter you.The salsas are gratis and run on the hotter side compared to most free salsas at Mexican places. You might want to try first if you have kids or people that are sensitive to spicy food with you. Every time I have gotten the standard breakfast which comes with eggs, your choice of meat, beans, potatoes, and your choice of tortillas. Everything is made homemade and is very hot when delivered to you. Like I said, this is not fancy, it's basic but prepared really well. The bites with tortilla, salsa, and various components of the breakfast are fantastic. I want to try lunch one day, but to be honest, if I am near there and they are serving breakfast, I'm getting breakfast. Don't pass this place by, it may not be much to look at from the outside but it's more than worth a stop."

La Hacienda De Los Reyes

"I love this place! A little diamond in the rough I don't come here often as I live in California but when I make the trip to Arkansas to visit my family I always stop here . Good food , great prices and fast service."

Chelino's Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (48) • $$

"Passing by this Chelino's brings back many memories. I used to work for Sunbelt Staffing located in that plaza, worked there for about a year. This Chelino's was our go to lunch spot due to convenience. It's the same as other Chelino's but due to the connection, this will always be my favorite."

Max's Garage

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"I swore I reviewed Max's before. It's a great bar/restaurant. Staff are always busy busy. The food is very good. I can't not get the fried mushrooms when I go. They are hand battered and fried to perfection with delicious ranch. I could just eat those, but burgers are good too. I've had brunch once, and it was really good. I wish they had Sunday brunch though."

Senor Lopez

★★★★☆ 3.7 (9)

"Señor Lopez Mexican Grill Check in 1/3/23There are 4 restaurants in Oklahoma that operate under the Lopez restaurant cartel name. Two here in Muskogee, one in Wagoner and one in Guthrie. I have not dined at the one in Guthrie. The other three restaurants are consistent in food quality, flavor, presentation, and service. They all share a common menu and are fairly equal in these attributes. The Lopez restaurants in Wagoner and Muskogee are probably the best Mexican restaurants in each town. Between the Lopez Grill Mexican Restaurant on 32nd and Señor Lopez Mexican Grill here on York St. I'd give a slight advantage to Señor Lopez Mexican Grill. Confused? Easy to do. Just eat at a Mexican restaurant that has Señor and Lopez in the name. In Muskogee there are too many other bad Mexican restaurants.Chips and Salsas are adequate. Service fast and friendly. We had the Combo # 3 and the Enchiladas Rancheras with Fajita Chicken. Not massive amounts of food, but fresh, hot and satisfying. Lopez's enchilada sauce is a habanero flavored sauce. Not hot, just a nice smooth habanero flavor and characteristic orange color to match. The meats are lightly seasoned. There you have it. It is an easy choice. In Muskogee eat at Señor Lopez Mexican Grill."
