    I went to Chelino's for a meeting. I was the first one there and they were fairly crowded. I asked if we could use the back room. They opened it just for us and were so nice. The service was amazing and they were so friendly. They worked around our meeting schedule. I ordered sour cream chicken enchiladas. They were really good. I've had them at other restaurants and they weren't this good. It's close to our house so I will be taking my husband here soon.

    Outstanding lunch!! Yet another birthday celebration - join the C-VIP Club and they allow you to get a free entree for your birthday! Service was great and lunch was just as good as always! The Lunch Fajita's were spot on!! My wife also said the Taco Salad was delicious & very fresh! Can't leave without having a sopapilla!! Great restaurant - if you haven't tried Chelino's give them a try there are several throughout the metro area!

    Colleague wanted to chat about prospective employment opportunities in the future over lunch. I had been before (different location) so we embarked on the journey of Chelinos They definitely have speed and customer service skills on another level at this place! I had the chicken soft taco and chicken enchilada lunch. They fixed my hunger! The food came out hot. The staff got our order out fast and accurate. The chips and salsa/cheese - delicious! The price was just right. I was very pleased with this visit. When in the area again I will stop in as they definitely can fix hunger and cravings. Thank you for being in the right place at the right time! Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

    My daughter-in-law and grandkids and I decided to stop at Chelinos before shopping. The restaurant is observing social distancing, every other table was open and staff wore masks. My grandson ordered the three meat fajita platter, The chicken and steak was tender and tasty, the shrimp over cooked, all in all he enjoyed his lunch. My grand daughter ordered the child beef fajitas and loved it. My daughter-in-law and I both ordered shredded beef chimichangas, they were not fried, they were grilled - very disappointing, it was a burrito. Needless to say I didn't eat it. The refried beans were good and Mexican corn very good. My margarita over the rocks was delicious!

    We were seated propley and were happy till the food was delivered. The steak and shrimp fajitas were delivered and still seeping blood. Asked the waitress to have them cooked more, to a point of being done and received them back charred!!!!!!!! ONIONS, PEPPERS, STEAK AND SHRIMP BURNT!!!!! The waitress come back and asked how the meal was, We advised the meal was not eatable due to being burnt and she started to not understanding what we were saying. The steak and shrimp fajitas sat there until we paid the bill and left. I do not recommended this restaurant for service or food quality..

    Omigod Chelino's. For 30 years I've been eating here at least once each time I revisit my home state. I live in California where people sneer at Tex Mex. Fools. Mexican food has many varieties. Border cuisine like Tex Amex is simply another variety -- different than Cali-Mex or what migrants have brought from other parts of Mexico. Back to Chelino's. Their shredded beef is soooooo good. The chimichangas are something I dream about. And their queso is a unique recipe expressing Oklahoma Tex-Mex. each person gets their own bowl. None of this sharing. Wonderful service at every single location though the Bricktown One is still my favorite. You just can't go wrong with Chelino's.

    Ordered Salsa Lupe and 2 meals. Do you have a shortage on chips and setnup? Cause I sure do.

    Chelino's had started using reheated sopapilla that are tough and really ruin the rest of the meal.

It arrived as this dramatic, beautifully constructed tower of mixed seafood topped with avocado and a whole shrimp--definitely a dish that makes an entrance. The seafood seemed fresh, but I discovered that this particular style of mixed mariscos just isn't for me. Some of the seafood had a gray, translucent appearance and texture that I personally didn't enjoy. That may simply be characteristic of the preparation rather than any problem with the dish. I only tried this one item, so I don't think it would be fair to judge the kitchen more broadly based on my personal preference. What I can comment on much more definitively is the noise. It was extraordinarily loud. I eventually pulled out my phone and measured the sound level because I genuinely wanted to know whether it was as loud as it felt. I recorded levels exceeding 100 dB, with peaks around 103 dB. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Unfortunately, I could barely hear them. I enjoy energetic restaurants and certainly don't expect dinner to take place in a library. But there's a point where "lively atmosphere" becomes something prospective customers deserve to know about before deciding where to spend an evening. This crossed that line for me. If a very high-energy, extremely loud environment is your thing, you may have a completely different experience. If you're hoping to have a conversation over dinner without shouting across the table, I'd choose accordingly. Friendly staff, impressively presented food, and a seafood dish that simply wasn't my jam. But the volume overwhelmed everything else about the experience--and at 103 dB, that's not background music. That's the main course.

    I'm disappointed in myself I didn't try this and review it sooner!…read more La Herencia is an upscale beautiful restaurant tucked away amongst the businesses. Every time I've driven by it's been absolutely packed in the parking lot. The staff is incredibly friendly and brings a whole fun vibe to your table. The salsa is incredible the queso is to die for. Every single thing I ate was a hit! 10/10 will be back frequently. :)

    La Herencia was a decent experience. We were looking for a sit down restaurant this time instead of…read moreour typical Mexican food truck run. It was very busy when we walked in but there was no wait. We were thankfully seated immediately and started off with chips and salsa. The chips were nice and crispy, but the salsa was mediocre. The tomatoes tasted canned. While I can totally get the efficiency behind using canned tomatoes for a busy restaurant, the taste is not preferred. The kids chicken quesadilla plate was a good amount of food! I just wish the quesadilla was already sliced as it was for our 3 year old. The chicken was also bland. Again, the portions were great. My son ordered the Burrito La Herencia with ground beef and this was seasoned well. Again, great portions of beans, rice & main dish. No complaints with this one! My spouse ordered the La Herencia fajita special and felt as if it was lacking. The steak pieces were minuscule and the shrimp was bland and undercooked. The pork chop was thinly sliced which was nice but VERY salty. We were wishing for more peppers and onions as well. Overall this dish was salty, but tolerable! It came with a side plate of rice, beans, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream & lettuce. Served with flour tortillas. We ordered the queso & guac while we were looking at the menu and waiting. I personally did not enjoy the queso. It was thick and had an artificial mouth feel. The guac was decent! Bland overall but I love the taste of avocado. I wish it had more lime and seasoning though since it was supposed to be Guacamole and not avocado dip. I ordered the Steak Mexicano with extra jalapeños and this was very good. Still on the salty side but I enjoy things on a SLIGHTLY saltier range. My spouse thought the steak was TOO salty. The peppers, onions, and tomatoes were nicely sautéed and seasoned. The rice here is also DELICIOUS. I hate a bland Mexican rice. The beans were good too but nothing to write home about. I do wish I was offered a side of corn tortillas. Overall this experience was okay! Not the worst but definitely not the best. The restaurant was beautifully decorated but there was a noticeable lack of music. We were sat listening to the chatter of all the different customers and kitchen noises. We did have the option of booth or table AND they have boosters seats/ high chairs upon request.
