    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!

    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!!

    Agave Azul - First visit and definitely not our last…read more We finally decided to try Agave Azul for the first time and wow... huge win. We showed up right at opening and were seated immediately -- always a great start. Elli, our server, was fantastic from the jump. Drinks came out fast and we were quickly set up with fresh chips and salsa. My wife thought the salsa could use a pinch more salt (totally personal preference), but the chips were good and addictive. We ordered the tableside Guacamole Mexicano, and that alone is worth the visit. Made fresh and packed with flavor. Pro tip: ask for everything that comes with it, and if you're feeling adventurous, add a squeeze of orange along with the lime -- it takes it over the top. Trust me on this one. I went with the lunch fajitas, served on a sizzling skillet just the way they should be. Plenty of fixings -- lettuce, pico, sour cream, rice and beans. (Next time I'll swap the refried beans -- just not my thing.) Great flavor and generous portion. My wife had the ground beef enchilada and thoroughly enjoyed it -- clean plate club. And of course... we couldn't leave without dessert. The Churros were an absolute winner. Crispy outside, soft inside, sweet and perfect for sharing. Honestly, we're just wondering why it took us so long to try this place. Great service, fresh food, and a relaxed vibe. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend giving Agave Azul a shot!

    Our favorite Mexican restaurant was closed, so we decided to try Chico's and I'm really glad we…read moredid. When we walked in, an older woman greeted us right away with the sweetest smile and seated us immediately. She ended up being our hostess and was so kind and attentive the whole time. The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. The menu isn't huge, but it has a good variety and the prices are very reasonable, especially for how much food you get. I'll admit I was a little unsure when I saw queso wasn't complimentary, because sometimes when you pay for it, it's not that great, can tell it's made with velveeta. But we ordered the large anyway and it was actually really good. The salsa was just right too, not too mild but not overly spicy. I ordered the enchilada platter and wasn't sure how I'd feel about the red sauce, so I also got a beef chimichanga on the side just in case I did not like the red sauce. Both were really good, and the chimichanga was way bigger than I expected, honestly a full meal by itself. My daughter got the Cowboy Quesadilla and said it was the best one she's had in a while. My husband ordered the steak fajitas and really liked them, his only comment was that the steak pieces were a little thin. Overall, everything was great. The food, the service, and just how genuinely kind our hostess was really stood out. We had a great experience and will definitely be coming back.

    It was a night out with the girls, so we chose Chico's. It was a Thursday night and we got sat…read moreimmediately. Although we did not partake, they do offer a pitcher of margaritas. I had the burrito Hawaiian and it was delicious. I will be back for it, just note some might find it a touch spicy. My girlfriends all enjoyed their meals. I was disappointed in the fried ice cream, I thought the ice cream could have been a better quality and if you don't like coconut do not order because the crust includes it.
