    Burrito
    Shu E.

    Biggest pro they have, unlimited pickles and unlimited salsa and sauce. The con to that is that I wished the salsa was a bit more flavorful. The pickles were great though! Got a great kick to it and I had to stop myself for a second. We got tacos, and burritos. The burrito was alright, but not exactly anything to shout about. Pros is that it was a very generous portion, and it came with a side of chips. I tried four different tacos, and while they were pretty decent for the price, I wish they had a little more flavor. Loved the fish tacos though! Have it with a ton of the salsa all over, and it ends up tasting pretty decent. All in all, really not too bad for the price! I'd try it at least once.

    Cabeza and Asada Tacos
    Ivy T.

    Swung by with some family to try some tacos. Ordered a variety of tacos. Pretty simple setting. My husband got a asada burrito, but it just had rice, beans, and meat. I wish they had a few more toppings in the burrito, so if you're looking for more toppings (might have to ask them for it). The asada tacos were pretty good, more on the simple side. The cabeza was a tender and tastier than the asada. Between the two, I preferred the cabeza. Our friends got chicken which seemed a little on the dry size and I think didnt prefer that over the other meat. Swing by to try some tacos!

    Finally made it here again after a few years and it's still so good and very reasonably priced! If you're in Edmond and want good fast Hispanic food go here!

    Mexican eggs

    This place is the place in Edmond to go for some real authentic Mexican food! So good! I had the mexican eggs and they were absolutely delicious and just like my Abuela would make for me. I'll be back again and again! They also have agua fresca!

    One of my fav meals is he gordita and taco combo plate.

    I LOVE this place. It is hands down the best Mexican food I've had in OK. It's simple, it's not too costly, and it's as authentic as you can get here. Now this is NOT Tex-Mex whatever nonsense you get at tacobell or any chain "Mexican" restaurant in Oklahoma. This is menudo on the weekend, street tacos made from everything from carne asada to tongue! Their drinks are all great. Service is great. It's English friendly with #'s so you're not too confused if you don't speak Spanish. And it's for sure BUSY during lunch time lol. Every work truck in edmond is here and they're here for a reason. Never been disappointed. 5 stars!!!

    Understated taqueria in Edmond. While this is at the intersection of Edmond Road and Fretz there is no access to the parking lot from Fretz. You'll be needing to enter the copious parking lot from the Edmond Rd. side of things. This is a smaller restaurant, and the service is of the order at counter and pick up when called variety. There are a number of both/table combos which are for the most part unremarkable. The decor is somewhat utilitarian. While it's clean the floor is concrete, the walls are primary colors, the condiment case is stainless steel and in general the ambiance is plebian. Service is of the order and we'll bring it out variety, unless it's to go, in which case it'll be handed over the counter. The salsas are very liquid-one could say watered down except for the extraordinary flavor. Makes me wonder how spicy they were to start with. The food is actually quite good. The street tacos are awesome, and the burritos are pretty solid. As five to six dollars will get you a decent sized burrito, some chips and salsa or a couple of tacos and a drink. It's easily one of the better wallet friendly places around. It's not perfect-the dining room is a tad in the grungy side, yet this is one of the better taco joints in Edmond for sure.

    The entry way to a delicious journey!!

From the moment we arrived, the…read morestaff was attentive and already aware of the food allergies I had mentioned when making the reservation, which was greatly appreciated. Service was prompt, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the entire meal. Service: 10/10 The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive, accommodating, and made the entire dining experience feel seamless. Ambiance: 7/10 The restaurant has a nice, inviting layout, although the lighting was a little brighter than I would personally prefer for a romantic dinner. That said, there are a few more secluded booths that offer a more intimate setting for a date night. If your main priority is great food, the atmosphere is still very enjoyable. Food: 10/10 The food was fantastic from appetizer to dessert. I genuinely couldn't find anything I didn't enjoy. * Too Much Potato: 10/10 -- A fantastic appetizer and a great way to start the meal. * Prime Strip: 10/10 -- Cooked exactly as requested at medium rare and absolutely delicious. * Braised Pork: 10/10 -- Excellent flavor, perfectly cooked, and incredibly tender. * Spring Berry Cake: 10/10 One thing to note: the menu changes approximately every three months based on the season, so there is always something new to look forward to. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to any foodie looking for creative dishes, well-balanced flavors, and thoughtfully crafted drinks. Every course delivered, and I would absolutely come back!

And they cleared it with room to spare. The service was honestly the best I have ever experienced. The staff managed that perfect balance of being total food experts while still feeling like people you would want to sit and chat with. Friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming, truly exceptional. The food was excellent and we loved learning that the veggies came straight from the chef's own garden. You can taste the pride and probably the early morning harvesting. You just have to try this place and take it all in. The atmosphere, the story, the service, the food. And yes, do not skip the drinks.

It feels a little upscale but not in a way that makes you feel underdressed if you show up in jeans. The staff was super sweet, and our server made great recommendations. I ordered the chicken fried steak, and it was SO good. The portion was huge, and the gravy was chef's kiss. Also, can we talk about the bread for a second? Because I would genuinely go back just for that. I kept telling myself "one more piece" and then suddenly half the basket was gone. The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wait for our food felt a little longer than expected. Nothing crazy, but by the time it arrived, we were definitely checking the kitchen door every few minutes lol. Other than that, everything was great. The food was comforting, the atmosphere was nice, and it felt like one of those places that's perfect for catching up with friends or taking your parents when they're in town. Definitely adding this to my list of favorite OKC spots. Next mission: trying the brunch because everyone keeps talking about it.

    Just don't go here…read more I've lived here for 5 years and by far the worst restaurant experience I have had in Oklahoma, and if you see my other reviews I'm pretty forgiving and tend to give spots the benefit of the doubt. This is a place worth an absolute flaming of a review.... But they already wasted enough of my time and energy today so I'll just summarize. No management on scene, no hostess, one server, two bartenders and a restaurant at 50% capacity on Mother's Day at 1 p.m. From walking in to having our orders taken, 30 minutes. 45 minutes later our order of roasted vegetable salad, steak eggs Benedict, and sourdough toast arrived. Salad was very well burnt but my mom was trying to be nice and didn't want to walk out. Eggs Benedict came out with two eggs boiled through, a hollandaise sauce with a sour smell and cold steak. I didn't eat it and no one seemed to notice, had it removed from my bill easy enough, but again zero F's given and no management showed daylight. Wife's toast actually arrived 5 minutes after the 'rest' of the food and the only thing hot and delicious. Toast here is $11, so there's that. No one cares here. From the health violations and poor food safety I saw in the kitchen, the multiple tables I witnessed sending back food to the multiple parties puzzled as to why they weren't being sat or once they were entirely ignored... it was so wildly bad I was embarrassed for everyone else having the same experience. Again, don't go.

It's so much larger and open. The bar is good size as well. We sat upstairs and loved being able to take in all that was happening, bartender, chef, staff it was great. Our food was amazing! The salad was simple but delicious, steaks were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese was a little dry for my liking but was good. Our drinks were unique and very good but the show stopper was dessert .... The bread pudding! I've never had anything as good. Raven has mastered bread pudding. It takes 20 mins so order it early on.

    Patties Hamburgers & Roast Beef - Edmond, OK…read more In my ongoing hunt for solid comfort food around Edmond, I decided to give Patties Hamburgers & Roast Beef a try--and this one is definitely worth a visit. It's a relatively small spot on 2nd Street, but don't let the size fool you. This place delivers big where it matters: hot, made-to-order food and friendly service that makes you feel welcome right away. I walked in fully intending to go with a classic burger... but sometimes you've got to listen to the people. On their way out, a couple told us it was their first visit too and highly recommended the French Dip and the daily special. That was all I needed--I made the audible. What We Ordered: * French Dip with au jus and fries * Chili Cheeseburger with fries The Food: The French Dip was the star for me--tender beef, plenty of melted cheese, and that au jus brought it all together. Solid, no-frills comfort food done right. The chili cheeseburger was messy (in a good way) and packed with flavor. Fries were crispy and did their job. Everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly how you want it. The Vibe: Casual, laid-back, and exactly what you'd expect from a local comfort food joint. Nothing fancy--but that's not why you're here. Service: Very friendly across the board. You can tell they care about the experience, and that goes a long way. Final Thoughts: This is one of those places where you already know you'll be back before you leave. Next visit, I'm going all-in on the burger lineup--and after seeing that dessert case, I may need to save room. If you're in Edmond and craving comfort food, put this one on your list.
