    Taco trío
    Ange R.

    Had lunch with my coworkers and everything was delicious! The fajita meat was perfectly seasoned and highly recommend pairing it with the corn tortillas. One of my colleagues ordered the taco trio and gave it a thumbs up. Even the salsa had great flavor. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service struggled to keep up with the lunch rush. Not sure if they were short-staffed or if our server was just overwhelmed. I would give the place another try.

    Happened upon this while out on this side of town. First time and the atmosphere took us by surprise! Very cheerful place with comfy chairs. Not sure how they keep them clean....... Colorful, happy place. We were seated immediately but took quite awhile to get drinks and longer for order. They did have to sing Happy Birthday to 3 different tables while we were there. Food was very good. Especially the chicken Quesadilla. . I ordered a Burrito but Something hard hurt my tooth about half way into my meal so didn't finish eating. Hope it was something freak. I still will try them again. Other 2 things ordered they loved. Drinks looked interesting but we just had sweet tea that was good.

    This place is so fun! Everything about the food is excellent: flavor, quality, presentation. Spot on! Every time I have come here I have had great table service. This last time we sat at the bar and the service was lacking, but it looked like they were short staffed. However, they did acknowledge their delays and try to be more accommodating. This time we tried the taco shots and I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but they were awesome and arguably full size not shot size! The ambiance is good. I like how they paid so much attention to detail on wall decor and even ceiling decor. All the bar glasses are so fun. I imagine this to be an influencers dream! 100% recommend and will return!

    Great atmosphere, we sat at the bar and ordered drinks and tacos! It was extremely busy when we went but the bar tender was great at making sure we were satisfied and always had drinks in front of us!

    2.5 stars The actual restaurant itself was beautiful, the vibes were amazing, and quite busy for a Monday night. I got the El Osito cocktail and it was strong! My girls and I ordered a lot of food and we would love to tell you about it. First off, service was very disappointing. Our server's tables were scattered throughout the restaurant. He was constantly in a rush! Took him a while to come back to get the rest of our orders placed. We had to ask for napkins 5 times and had our food brought out to us before being given utensils. ALSO, a little disappointing to hear that their cute drinks aren't as cute anymore because they don't have the cups that go with it. My friend had wanted two other drinks that are supposed to have a cute cup, settled for the bath drink as it's the last one they have. Holy Guac with flautas 9/10 Holy Guac with bacon wrapped shrimp 9/10 Street corn 4/10 flavor was aight and highly disappointing that the table next to us got corn on the cob and ours was canned corn in a bowl Carne Asada 6/10 lacked flavor but hefty portion Chimichanga 7/10 more fulfilling and a bit more flavorful Overall, it's an awfully cute place! Service needs to improve for sure. I wouldn't mark this on the top of my favorite Mexican spots in the OKC area but if I had to come back, I'd try lunch!

    Found this fun restaurant on a tik tok so decided to try it while a friend was in town. We're really glad we went as the food and artistic drinks didn't disappoint. We devoured our food and loved the drink presentations. Service was really good but must say that communication was a bit challenging but our orders came out correctly. One odd thing was mid lunch, out of no where, the music came on like it was a club but it lasted about a minute then no music rest of lunch lol. I must say the booths are comfortable and the decor is fun, eclectic yet warm. The mural at the back is amazing. The location isn't central okc but is worth the drive.

    Birria burrito

    Came on a Friday night around 8-8:30pm it looks packed but we actually got seated quickly. We were greeted shortly and got drinks I got the La Fresano it was good, now to eat I had the Birria burrito with a side of rice and refried beans food was soooooo good. I really liked the aesthetics in the place the only thing I didn't like was how long it was when they sang happy birthday ,this was the loudest place I've ever been too and it happened like 4-5 times while I was there.

    This is a super cute restaurant. I loved all the wall art and the cute chairs. The bar area looked super festive as well. They were well staffed and everyone was really nice. Our waiter was super attentive. When we first got there it was a bit loud but as some of the party's left it was fine. The drinks were really good. I wish the menu told you the drinks by the cute cups they come in. We asked our waiter about several of them and he was nice and patient with us when explaining which ones were which. Our food order got messed up a bit. My sister ordered steak tacos "street style", I ordered chicken tacos "American style" and we ordered the vida fries which chicken as the protein. We ended up getting 2 plates of chicken tacos and steak on the vida fries. My sister was okay with eating the chicken tacos but we had him fix the vida fries which he had done right away. So that was nice. We also got the street corn - hot style, it was okay. The rest of the food was pretty good. The drinks were really good. I got the Horchata Loca & Bath Booba Peach. The bath booba peach was really good (think it was missing the popping booba) but it was still good and came in a cute little bathtub cup. The food and drinks were fairly priced.

    Food was served in a timely manner. Hot in temperature. Birria ramen was good. Pozole my mom liked.. will come back to try other dishes since their menu is very full! Fun and pretty place.

    I don't know how to explain the oddness about this place, but I'll try... Stick with me. This place is stupidly located. It has the energy and aesthetic of a gentrified Mexican restaurant run by people who "love the culture" but would only order the mild salsa. Not saying that's what it is, because everyone working there is obviously Hispanic. I'm saying that's the vibe. Everything about Dulce Vida (from the social-media-focused decor, to the food options, to the over-priced menu) suggests that it thinks it's located in the Plaza District. But... you know, it's not... Because it's actually located on NW Expressway, with nearby restaurants like Church's Chicken. It's almost like the whole restaurant was built for the clientele they wanted, rather than the clientele that lives in the area. There's an audacity to Dulce Vida that makes me wanna channel Kelly Kapoor (from The Office) and say, "Yeah, I have a lot of questions. Number one: How dare you?" Listen, friends: I am doing everything in my power to single-handedly fight this battle, yet it's a battle that I will ultimately lose, because the rest of you have clearly accepted that it's perfectly reasonable to spend $16 on a quesadilla. Which, again, if you were in the gentrified part of OKC where people are trying to save the world one overpriced organic cotton t-shirt at a time, it would make sense. But it doesn't make sense next to an Extended Stay hotel. Y'all's divorced dads clearly have more money to blow than the ones I grew up with... Almost the entire menu starts at around $15. I think I saw two items that were $7 and $9 respectively and those were clearly not meant to be full meals. A lunch entrée will easily set you back $20 by the time you leave. That doesn't include appetizers or drinks. Is that terrible? No. Does it make sense close to a Braum's? I mean, I would say no, but it's apparently up for debate. The food is fine. Nothing I've had so far tasted bad. But the Taco Shots is possibly one of the silliest things I've seen, where the concept clearly made more sense than the practicality of putting 3 shot glasses in front of a customer so that they can awkwardly make a mess all over the table as they try to pull out and consume a sideways taco dunked in sauce. Even though I mentioned it earlier as a knock, the dishes and decor are nicer than a traditional restaurant of this type of food. Everything said, it's fine. It's all kinda odd. But it's fine.

    Steak Super Burrito

    Food was incredible, it also came out very fast. The ambiance is super cute and girly, perfect girls night dinner! Our service wasn't the best. We waited multiple times for our waitress to come back by. Also never got a refill on my drink. But other than the service a really good restaurant! The cheese dip is really incredible but for $9.99 I'd skip it.

    I was in the area and had planned on trying another restaurant, but my little brain kept whispering "chips and salsa" and when I came across this obnoxious looking building, I made myself stop in. It's a nice sit-down restaurant and the interior is less sharp in color, but definitely still pink (and purple, and gold...) something little girls would dream of. I asked to sit at the bar since I wasn't dining with anyone and ended up sitting at a high table near the bar. The bartender was really friendly and his service was impeccable. I wish I had caught his name. I ordered the Cantina bowl which is rice, black beans and your choice of chicken, shrimp or steak and sour cream. I got chicken and asked to add "California Veggies" which was lightly steamed carrots, cauliflower and broccoli" and it was really good. I appreciate that the sour cream sauce was drizzled and not drowning the plate. I would definitely order again. The chips were also good. The salsa was so-so (not bad, just nothing to write home about). If I lived closer, I would be a frequent visitor.

    The staff at El Sabor were genuinely friendly, and the presentation of my Torre Mulegé was…read morestunning. 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.
