The Most Delectable Tex-Mex in Tulsa

Hidalgo's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.2 (288) • $$

"Love love love Hidalgo's! The service is fast, friendly, and attentive. Small or large groups, you'll get the best service! The food is very tasty! I appreciate all the complimentary salsas, queso's, relishes, chips, and tortillas. I love their queso's the best! I ordered the salad and it was so so good! I would order this again and change the combinations of toppings to try different things. If you're a soda lover this is your place, the cups are LARGE- I was in Dr Pepper heaven! The decor has a fun, modern vibe w/ bright colors, neon word displays. After a certain hour, they dim the lights a bit to not be so bright when the suns going down. I like that attention to detail!"

Mi Cocina

★★★★☆ 3.7 (312) • $$

"Food was great and service even better! We were lucky to have Amy G as a server and she was absolutely phenomenal. Our table of 5 all ordered different drinks and never did we go thirsty or wanting anything. Her kindness and service alone was worth the visit and the great dishes were an amazing accompaniment."

Ted's Café Escondido

★★★★☆ 3.6 (218) • $$

"My wife and I stopped at Ted's for a late lunch around 2:00The restaurant was not very busy at that time of day. So we had no trouble being seated. We were promptly provided the complimentary chips, salsa and cheese sauce. Our waiter brought our drinks along with complimentary flour tortillas, atomic hot sauce and relish and took our order. My wife ordered a beef taco. I ordered a beef and a cheese enchilada with refried beans and fried rice. A person other than our server brought our meals. He was friendly and professional. Our lunch was good. There were a couple of issues resulting in four stars. We did not see our waiter until time to pay our check. Needless to say our drinks had no refills until the waiter brought the check and brought our complimentary sopapillas"

Casa Perico

★★★★☆ 4 (137) • $$

"The service here is fantastic but the food just didn't impress me which was disappointing bc others in my family speak so highly of it. Maybe nostalgia for them. The ambiance comes off as a legit authentic Mexican restaurant but the menu is all tex-mex. You can, if you know, order authentic Mexican items and they'll gladly prepare them for you. The prices are quite high for what you receive quality wise. The portions are large but the food is really nothing special. I've been told that it's changed since 2017 and use to be better especially before Covid."

Toledo's Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (119) • $$

"Was pleasantly surprised. Food was good. Great salsa and queso came with food which it should. Asked for spicy salsa and it was good as well. Tortillas good and seemed homemade with relish. Got the tamale and cheese enchilada plate. Was very tasty. Wife got the chicken taco salad and said it was good. Would recommend for area and is best Mexican restaurant so far I have tried in mustang. Would come back."

Campesino's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (103) • $$

"If you're in this shopping mall over at River City trading post or in the cute little garden shop, this is a great place to cool off with a frosty, frozen margarita, the best in Tulsa for sure! For added fun, add in a corona upside down I don't know why, but it sure is great on a hot summer day. The food is also good I recommend the green enchiladas Verde and also the chicken tortilla soup plus a frosty cold, frozen margarita."

Los Arcos Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (124) • $$

"Los Arcos is truly a hidden gem. I have only been here once but had a great experience. I love their set up. Their salsa and spicy salsas are delicious! It's a fun Tex-Mex place that I think is great for family, friends, and big gatherings. They are a big and spacious place. They have so many workers and they're nice! I would recommend asking for the spicy salsa. Would love to come back and try more of their different delicious entrees. Will definitely try the other location next time. They have two locations in Edmond!"

La Herradura Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (70) • $$

"This place is really close to our house.1st time here after seeing reviews from Yelp friends. Such a friendly environment server was so nice. Food was so delicious and fresh, we got street tacos and wow the pork and chicken street tacos were amazing , the girls split a kids chicken quesadilla it was delicious.Because I didn't order anything as we all split.. got banged for a setup fee. We got delicious cheese dip with our salsa will definitely be back!Respectfully,BryanYukon, Oklahoma"

Chelino’s Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (80)

"You know not all of the Chelinos are created equal? Just like with every other family of restaurants, there's always some that are better than others, this location on Main is indeed legit!! #40 Guiso , (with all steak please,),,is my go-to at most locations, and ALWAYS with a side of mama beans (if your an ole school chelino fan like me otherwise its called chino beans!! If you dig jalapeños and onions , try this bean variation, ,,when done right, it will satisfy your soul ,,lol ...eat all this and say hello to a food coma !"

El Patron Cocina Mexicana

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (105) • $$

"Everything tastes phenomenal. My new favorite place. The patio is pleasant, live music, clean bathrooms... really nothing to dislike."

Fuzzy's Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 3.8 (76) • $$

"New to the area and this taco shop was recommended by a friend and Fuzzy's did not disappoint! I love a lighter fresh Baja style taco vs a heavier meat/cheese/beans version. We got the taco plate (two tacos & two sides), two kids nacho plates (generous portion of nachos, side and dessert) as well as two carnitas flour shelled tacos. My only recommendation would be they switch out the shredded lettuce for cabbage. Who knows - maybe that is an option. Next time I'll be sure to ask. Cilantro rice was good, fuzzy rice seemed like a Spanish style red rice (I'm not a rice connoisseur lol), black beans were basic. Sauces on the table were flavorful- original was tangy w a hint of sweet, habenero had a kick but very manageable Service was fast and friendly. They have an app for take out orders as well as the ability to earn points with each purchase. You can bet our family will be back!"

Los Cabos

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (104) • $$

"Everything is excellent. Service. Food. Atmosphere. People. Chips. Salsa. Go to Los Cabos. You wont be sorry."

Sabor Guacamole

★★★★☆ 4 (63) • $$

"One of the few places open for Sunday dinner in this part of the state. Good legit Mexican food. We are from Houston, and are always cautious of getting Mexican food "out of state". Got the mango jalapeño margaritas. Holy mackerel they were SPICY HOT! Right away we knew we found a legit place. Packed a punch! We had to drink with a straw as our lips burned after a few sips!!Got the queso flameado with chorizo as an appetizer. Another hit! Came to the table "on fire". Then the server mixed it together for us and placed in flour tortillas. Outstanding! I could have gone home happy after the drinks and queso!I ordered the steak quesadilla. Would have liked more cheese in my quesadilla. Another dish was the fish tacos. Comes with grilled talapia and white rice. Super good.Another meal was the 3 meat fajitas: beef, shrimp and chicken. Two thumbs up.Final plate was the cheese and beef enchiladas. Delicious also."

San Miguel Mexican Grill & Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (83) • $

"Listen if your looking for great Mexican food and a nice bar you gotta stop here. They have great salsa and the chips are always nice and hot. If your looking for fajitas or tacos this place knows what there doing. Very good waitresses and great cold beer don't get any better. They have a great lunch menu as well"

Joe's Grill & Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.6 (65) • $

"After a long weekend of baseball we decided to go hit Joe's. Well next time we might have to try another place.We were seated quickly, place was clean and our server took our drink order. This is where things derailed. We ordered drinks, the pitcher of margaritas was very weak. So we had to order shots to put in it. Waitress had to return to the table 2x to ask what type of tequila we ordered. When asked about certain dishes on the menu, she admitted she had not eaten much of the food from the menu. So she was no help when we had questions. Food order came in and wasn't correct. Some orders had been forgotten. Placed after most the table had received their food.What food was correct, tasted good. Waitress just had a lack of knowledge and wasn't very good."

Pepper's Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (64) • $$

"Finally, tried peppers after talking about going forever!! My husband and I ate outside this evening because it was soo nice out! The music and environment was chill and our waitress was very attentive. They have a huge variety of food from pasta, burgers, and Mexican to spuds and steaks! My husband enjoyed their burrito and loved the beans! I only had a bowl of potato soup but it was very delicious! The chips and salsa was average salsa, of course."

Taco Casa

★★★★☆ 3.7 (51) • $

"Let's be honest, no one expects a five-star experience here. However, let's talk about the good, the bad and the grumbly. I have to say this place was spotless and the adorable color-scheme right out of the 70s. Everyone was extremely courteous and the food came out in like two seconds. I ordered the Chilada. It was huge and also reminded me of a meal from the past with its flavor profile. It was okay, a bit salty and smothered in a can of enchilada sauce. I was a first timer so this was better than expected, but I can't say would be my first choice for this type of food. I think this team is doing everything right, but maybe Taco Casa could up their recipe game just a little."

Chelino's Mexican Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (72) • $

"We had a very-small, impromtu family reunion here. We originally thought we'd have six people, but wound up with seven, and they acccomodated us easily and quickly.The menu had a lot of options and was easy to read. Although they have a weekday lunch section, they allow you to order from it for dinner and on the weekends, too, but they add $2 per order. We each ordered something different, and the staff and kitchen managed our orders well. They kept water, tea and soda glasses full without being asked. My chicken enchilada were great, and everyone enjoyed their food. I was visiting from NC, but my cousins and aunt are all local and come here quite often."

Fajitas Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (30)

"I'm so happy I turned around to try this place. It's small, casual and very clean.I ordered the lunch taco salad and the shredded chicken reminded me of my grandmother's recipe.The star of the show was the michelada -- if you drink alcohol, treat yourself. Scrumptious.And my server was very sweet. He even gave me a coupon for my next visit to their 61st and Sheridan location. He says it has a full bar and is much bigger. I'll go there next.Enjoy!"

Chili's

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (80) • $$

"Ok, I've been critical of Chili's in the past over poor service and bad food. This location at least seems to have made a turnaround that gives me hope for the chain in general. In on a Saturday, we were in for burgers and they were not simply good, they were excellent! I don't say that lightly these were really great burgers! In past years Chili's food has been underwhelming and disappointing compared to their early years. Then about a decade or more of not very good, poorly trained staff and "we don't care" attitude. We've noticed a change over the last year, a renewed effort to serve and please the customer. Attentive and friendly staff and higher quality food than we've seen in years. Our attentive waitress asked us how we wanted our meat cooked like many places do. Only they actually did what we asked. The burger had that perfect caramelized and crispy edges while the meat was juicy and full of beefy flavor. The veggies were fresh and balanced. The presentation was perfect!Then the fries. For years Chili's had great seasoned fries then for 10-15 years they were just bad like they left them too long under the heat lands, soggy and tasteless. They seem to be back on track making seriously good fries. Ours came out hot, crispy outside, tender inside. No skimping on the seasoning either. They were just right, I would not change a thing!The host was also attentive and she checked that everything went well on our way out. Chilis, keep this up! These last few times we've been in have far exceeded your past performance and quality and each time has motivated us to come back more frequently. Along with saying thank you to the staff we saw, I know behind them is a kitchen hitting everything just right and management that must be engaged and who care because that trickles down. Bad managers make bad staff. Great leaders have great staff and create a great experience. Keep doing it right and teaching staff to do their best. Welcome back Chili's."

"Wow!!! Exceptionally good food. Outstanding service. Food was very hot when it came to the table and was served promptly. We had a dip with rice, taco meat and their amazing cheese sauce (we had them leave off the pico), Enchilados locos with steak, and the pollo Mexicano. Everything was outstanding and the portions were very generous."

Mariachi Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (30)

"I grew up in Southern California and am Half Mexican. I grew up going to Mexico to visit family and have had the privilege of enjoying authentic Mexican food.I'm sorry Stillwater, but you have been seriously lacking in really good, flavorful, mouthwatering, delectable Mexican goodness. But! You are saved!! Mariachi Mexican Grill is here! The service is amazing, friendly and attentive. I had Camarones (shrimp) a la Diabla (spicy sauce) and I was almost brought to tears! It was VERY spicy which is how I like it (they can modify spiciness) my husband got the molcajete which was the best I tasted in years.The Margaritas are tasty and give a good kick. Couldn't recommend more!"

Del Rio Grill & Cantina

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (37) • $$

"The food was amazing and at a Mexican place you don't see Ribs which is a plus for me,The service is great,The Ambiance is great and the lighting is great for people who are sensitive to light and if you're not."

Ted's Café Escondido

★★★★☆ 4 (24)

"Kids eat free on MondaysChloe is an awesome waitress She apologized for spilling chips on the table, someone who has common sense is amazing.Clean.I love how it's real bricks in the wallChloe kinda gave an attitude about refried beans when we got 1 when we we're supposed to get 2.Are the hours the same on holidays like Father's Day?"

Las Bandidas Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (25)

"It's Friday and my husband and I have a long standing tradition of eating Mexican food on Fridays. We recently moved to this area, so let's try a new place. Staff are very friendly and service is quick. Ambiance of the diner-sort with pictures of cacti and clay pots on the walls. Spanish language songs on the overhead speaker and American football on the TV. Now for the food. Well, the tortilla chips were thicker and a tad bland for our taste. The cheese dip, well, bland, and the salsa, unforgiveably bland. The cheese and onion enchilada with chili con carne sauce was very good, The falutas were "good!"but with the unexpected addition of cheese, my husband pronounced them as "different." Rice and beans were fine. We did not try drinks or dessert. We also got a to-go order for a family member. She ordered a crispy beef taco, and the restaurant packed the beef separately from the taco shell so the latter didn't get soggy - nice touch!"

Las Palmas

★★★★☆ 3.6 (16)

"Dinner was pretty great. The complimentary chips and salsa were quite tasty. The place was somewhat busy when my friend and I came, but the food came out fast. I had the carnitas enchiladas with red sauce, and surprisingly it was very flavorful. The shredded pork was tender, and the red enchilada sauce tasted like it was made in-house. Initially, I was going to get their pineapple juice, but after asking if it was fresh or not, the server said it wasn't, so I appreciate the honesty. I had a cocktail called "xotic" mojito, and surprisingly, it was so refreshing, fruity, and well-crafted. Since the service, in the beginning, was rushed, I expected our server would want us to leave right away once we were done with our dinner so they can get ready for the next customers. Still, we stayed and chatted a little bit. Our server wasn't bothered by it and didn't have an attitude refilling my friend's drink. Due to the low ratings, I didn't expect much, so the food and cocktail exceeded my expectations."
