Don Ciro's

Update: I gave this place another try. We had good service, affordable meals and the food was better this go round.Based on other reviews, we had high hopes for our lunch at Don Ciro's, but we were a little disappointed. The positives were the prices were reasonable, anhe salsa was quite good, and the sopapillas were very good. The rest of the food was just ok. A little lacking in flavor and not quite hot enough in my opinion. The service started out good, but by the end, we were left waiting at our table for quite some time.

Unlike what you may have seen on the TV series "Yellowstone," if you get taken to the train station in Seminole; it's a good thing! Don Ciro's occupies the old Seminole railroad station. The old building has been preserved and is now a nicely decorated Mexican restaurant. Of all of the rundown, repurposed buildings that I have visited across N.E. Oklahoma, which are now Mexican restaurants, this is the coolest building of them all! It is worth a visit just to see the structure; the great Mexican food is a bonus. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The service is excellent. The mild salsa was freshly made, just delivered from the blender. Tomatoes (fresh tomatoes, not cooked or canned), cilantro, maybe some onion and that was it. A little too mild and a little to watery for most hard core OkieMex gourmands. The picante salsa had more body and spice; it was great. Queso also comes with the chips. It was tasty, but a little thinner viscosity then I would have preferred. Even as depicted, I still enjoyed it all. The cups were empty at the end of the meal. The menu pictures sold the meals. I spotted the # 39 Combination Plate (tamale, crisp taco, an enchilada and beans and rice) a delicious looking "way too much" plate of food. My wife was drawn to the # 22 Comelon (carne asada torta with two carne asada tacos.) Let's start with the #22. Having just finished chewing the first bite of the taco, my wife declared it to be the "best taco she had ever had." The excellent meat, fresh toppings, along with the radish and lime slice on the side persuaded her proclamation. Her predicament now was, she had a tremendous sized, meat filled torta untouched on her plate. Declaring her plan "no way was the other taco going to be left behind." What ever is left of the torta can ride home. Oh yeah, it too was declared the best torta. The two cups of salsa that came with the meal (different than the table sauce) were the perfect condiments. My Combination Plate was equally delicious, from the spicy ground beef in the crispy taco, to the flavorful chicken in the enchilada and tamale. The beans were above average!Great food in a cool old building.Ask for a ride to the train station; the food is "on track."

Loved it! We were in the area and excited to eat at Don Ciro's. We ordered a giant trough of food for two. It was called the parrillada and was amazing. Salsa was tasty. Great service. Nice ambiance. We will definitely be back when in the area again. Or we may just drive back for the food. Yum!

Atmosphere was nice, rustic. Service was good. I had the Molcajete and it was just ok. The steak was like a Steak-um just layed in the bottom - not much flavor on the beef. The other ingredients were pretty good and the tortillas were amazingly fresh! The prices were very fair compared to other restaurants these days.

This is why I love Yelp. Places like this would have never crossed my radar if not for Yelp. Driving out to a retreat in the area, we stopped in to get lunch and check out the local Tex-Mex restaurant. The first thing you notice is the awesome old-school buckaroo (cowboy) photos on the walls. Then you're greeted with very prototypical, but delicious, complimentary chips, salsa and house-made tortillas. You can tell the staff takes a lot of pride in what they do, and everything from the tamales to the fajitas were at the top of the craft. I'd say to swing in if you're ever passing through. But it's honesty worth going out of your way for.

Great Tex Mex. It's a really cool setting in an old train depot. Service is absolutely outstanding! The food is excellent. Frankly they set the standard for enchiladas by which I judge all other Mexican restaurants. "Don's" has great guacamole, wonderful fajitas and numerous more traditional Mexican dishes my wife loves when we are hungry for something different.

Cute little Mexican restaurant located in an old train station. Food plentiful, hot, and delicious. Waitstaff was courteous and attentive. Restaurant full Monday during lunch. Prices reasonable. Highly recommend.
