Okay let's just say Birria tacos! If you want the nest come here! OMG! I was full but wanted more! I've been here before and thw rest of the menu is great but these birria tacos blew my mind. Other places only wished they were this good! The place is clean and they have a little patio to sit and chill out on. The girls are always so nice and very friendly. They have a salsa bar and wow the selection of mild to hot salsas. I love it!

Met some friends at calaveras for some delicious food and beverages. I enjoyed the chimichangas with rice and beans, while my friends had tacos, burritos , carnitas, and other assorted delicious dishes. We all enjoyed the chips and salsa bar. Some of us had beer while others had frozen margaritas. The vibes were good and the service on point. I will say, it was (we sat near the window in July and they have no shade). I certainly hope you don't blame the Oklahoma summer heat on them, but I felt it necessary to warn you of the only downside to visiting this gem.

Calaveras was shutdown for some time while the food truck was making its ways around Tulsa. I was doing a photo shoot & they were open so I decided to treat myself. Ironically, it was on a Taco Tuesday (which they have specials on tacos).I got their combo of two tacos, rice & beans. They have a salsa bar and I ran with the verde & roja and grabbed so of their pickled jalapeños. Their retired beans are really really good, I would eat a side of their beans alone & be satisfied. I got chicken for my tacos are they were SUPER good (I had to hit 'em with extra lime).Along with the beans & tacos, the rice went well with both. They had flan sitting in the fridge that I couldn't keep my eyes off of & knew I wouldn't have the room to want some right then & there. The employee was super nice & hooked me up with a handful of cups to do my thing with the salsa bar. I'm glad this spot opened back up.*I don't remember if I saw breakfast on the menu when I was there. It's possible that they serve it because their food truck did.*

Our family was together for the holidays and visited Scheels to see what all the excitement is about. When we were ready for a late lunch I was driving and gave no one a choice and headed to Admiral, bypassing hundreds of places to eat. We were not disappointed. The service and smiles from the staff made the delicious food top notch!

I'm officially done with this place....I tried but anytime I've been there it just hasn't been all that good. This time I only ordered guac and queso with chips....it's something about their guac that tastes store bought like the fake kind that they just add chunks of tomato and onion to...plus it doesn't change colors like fresh guacamole does. The cashier was really sweet though. I've never had bad service there just food that I didn't like and I love Mexican food. I'm so disappointed because I hear people say good things about this place. But for me it's a no

So thankful this spot opened back up in the Kendall-Whittier area! Located across the street from where the Tulsa Farmer's Market is held, this restaurant offers delicious and filling food as well as a complimentary salsa bar!The fajitas were great and had a pretty affordable price tag. Grant loved their wet torta and we both enjoyed the queso. Again, really affordable for a big bowl!

It wasn't quite perfect, but close. Today, I ordered, through doordash, the red birria tacos for lunch, with horchata to drink and chocolate flan as a dessert. The tacos came with a dipping sauce and a cup of rice on the side. They were maybe the best tacos I've had in a long time. So much delicious flavor, with a perfect slight spice in the dipping sauce, and a fantastic texture. The horchata had a wonderful milky cinnamon flavor that was perfect to my taste, and the flan was nearly perfect. I will say that I've only had flan one other time and I think I prefer it without the chocolate. I think the chocolate makes it taste a little more like a chocolate cake than a flan, but it was still delicious and creamy.I am excited to try more in the future. 4.5, but I put 5 because overall, the experience was closer to 5 than a 4.

This is the first time we've visited since they reopened. Even though you order at the counter, service was stellar and uber friendly. We ordered the red birria tacos, one carne asada street taco and an al pastor street taco. The birria tacos were enough to split (three---bigger than a street taco but not huge). The carne asada taco was outstanding, too. The al pastor taco was good. I would probably do the same order next time.The birria tacos came with a side of rice--kind of small but plenty (and good). We got two boats of chips and they were refilled quickly. My only minor, tiny complaint is that the salsa cups are too small. (Because, my friend, there are a lot of salsas to choose from.)Make this corner of town your starting point for date night. Have an early cup of coffee at She Brews, dinner at Calaveras, popcorn and a movie at Circle Cinema and round it out with a brew from Heirloom. (And, don't forget to pick up churros at Pancho Anaya.)

We were doing photography event in the area and this place is delicious and had great service. The salsa bar is awesome and the food tasted great. The Barria burrito was amazing and the meat was perfectly cooked. It was a little salty but I will have to come back again to see if it was just that batch. Worth a try when you are in Tulsa. The restaurant has a perfect authentic feel and is very colorful.

Went to Calaveras Mexican Grill for lunch today at 1 PM, our order was taken by Brenda at the counter. We got our salsas, onions and escabeche (delicious!) at the salsa bar -- nice selections. We picked a booth and waited for food to be delivered. I ordered 3 red tacos and they were excellent (especially dipped in consommé) and lemonade. My bride had two ground beef tacos. We loved that they fried their own corn tortillas!! And for those that care, the men's restroom was very clean and no trash lying around.
