    I was promptly seated and brought the usual chips and salsa - the latter was not chunky, but my usual addition of hot sauce made it good. If you've read any of my Mexican Restaurant reviews, ya know I am a fan of Chimichanga. The Chimi arrived, and first observation was the re-fried beans. If I could give a "half star" off, I would - it was thin, but with good flavor. The rest of the meal was excellent! The chimi was really good. The atmosphere was excellent, the staff really nice and helpful. A quick visit to the restroom showed it to be spotless.

    A small town on the Tennessee-Alabama border. Not the most promising spot for a Mexican restaurant, right? Actually wrong. El Olmeca is a fun, inexpensive and tasty Mexican restaurant, well worth the mile detour from interstate 65. It's bright, roomy interior is welcoming and the place can get busy. Excellent standards--steak fajitas were cooked perfectly, tender not chewy. Pollo supremo is another lunch favorite. My fav, huevos con chorizo was excellent and a generous portion. The salsa is not just out of a jar either. Food is solid--the service, solid, prompt, courteous, and everything is really served piping hot. Today was my third stop--hopefully many more to come.

    Used these guys to cater a meal for one of my doctor's offices in this area. They did a great job and the food was very good. Loved the fact that they put each meal in a separate bag for each person.

    My son loves going to get tacos along with the cheese dip. The service is great. All the food that we have tried has been really good I would highly recommend.

    Fajitas with added veggies to substitute rice and beans. Super awesome flavor!

    This place is a great! They are super accommodating with any request or want! The biggest downside is the location. Due to being in Ardmore, you won't find any margaritas here unless you consider the Bud Light Margarita one. They do have a beer selection tho. The cheese dip is a great way to start the meal, just creamy and thick enough. The chips and salsa are super fresh. My husband loves the Burrito El Omeca, and I love the Fajitas! If you want any substitutions just ask, it might be some extra, but they take great care of you here. The staff are also nice and generous! We will definitely be back!

    Mediocre at best. Service is consistently poor. Salsa is good. Nothing special, just convenient in Ardmore.

    Best Mexican in Ardmore. Good food, fast service and good prices. And excellent salsa! They have outdoor dining on the front porch.
