- Brett ElliottNovember 11, 2018I got enchiladas, one chicken and one ground beef. Both excellent. I slightly favored the chicken. Service was excellent. had to wait 35 mins for a table but it was game night and our food came fast.
The absolute best Mexican in Norman, and the best service. Try the Mexican style pork ribs - mui delicioso! Grilled jalapeños and the warm jalapeño avocado dip are excellent additions to any meal.
Shaka MarketingJanuary 27, 2013Awesome restaurant! They've got an incredibly efficient system of getting customers in-and-out while maintaining excellent customer service.- Krista BakerDecember 4, 2017Excellent service! We had chips, salsa, and queso on the table in under 2 minutes from sitting down. Amazing tamales and love the green salsa
The Food is good. The service is great. It's very noisy and lovey so don't expect a quiet lunch or dinner. But still a really great experience.
Best Mexican food in town! Ask for the green salsa!!! It will rock your world!
Kayla DavisJanuary 13, 2016The michelada's, chile Colorado and pretty much everything else that I've tried there!
Callie LawrenceJuly 7, 2011The appetizer chicken quesadilla is out of this world. I've been coming for years, and it's still my favorite thing!
Best Mex. food in Oklahoma. Try the chili relleno with fajita chicken or the carne asana tacos!
Nicole PritchardFebruary 17, 2013Ask for the fried onions and jalapeños with your set-up. Delicious!!
Jimmy Richardson-WalkerJune 18, 2015The food comes out too fast like eat & get out, & it's way too loud to have a conversation.
You cannot beat the service here. It makes the food taste even better.
- MarKansaSityJanuary 8, 2011Be prepared for a wait. Get an amazing Swirl Margarita to help pass the time. :)
- ashleeNovember 11, 2016Absolutely disgusted with this place. They blow their trash into the street and surrounding businesses and homes everyday. The owner Effron laughed about this, said he would do nothing about it.
Brooke AlbertJuly 21, 2015Cheap, quickly made food, pretty sure their veggies come from a can. Save your money and go elsewhere
Grannon BillingsleySeptember 9, 2011Their burrito's are awesome, but watch out if you order jalapenos!
Just found out if no one in your party eats- have them order a medium guacamole. It's $1 cheaper than their "set up" fee.
David GMarch 17, 2013Salty, crowded, bad service, salty, dry tamales, bland store bought tortillas, salty, salty, salty.

"Cleaner employees and cleaner store than any of the Walmarts around. Plus excellent sushi and a Starbucks. Prices are a couple of cents higher depending on items, but worth it for the quality."
Kira Frazier - 9.2
