    Papusa
    Genevieve F.

    Oh my word! I'm so glad I dropped in. I love, love, love this place! This is a Guatemalan restaurant and it's so good. I tried a couple of different things so I could try everything, and my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. First, i ordered a single piece of chicken. I just got a leg. It fell off the bone and was great. So tender and flavorful. Then I ordered a tamale. They are similar but different from Mexican tamales. The cornmeal (bread?) is less bread-y and softer. I loved the flavor. They have me a green sauce and I just smothered everything in it. The Chile Relleno (I ordered one) was yummy and not too spicy. This might be my favorite item. No, I guess my favorite item was the pastor papusa. I adore papusas. They are cornmeal with meat and cheese and spices and one of my favorite things in the world. They are small but mighty. So good.

    We were there for dinner last night and didn't enjoy our experience. The tacos were overpriced for…read morewhat you get--small portions that aren't even shareable. Even though our server said the dishes were meant for sharing. One of the big drawbacks was the lack of clarity around spice levels. The menu didn't indicate if the dishes would be spicy, so I was in a bit of a surprise when I ate my steak tacos. For the elotes, they were very tangy and were very overpriced for what it is. We were ordering that to go with the tacos since they don't come with a side. And the elotes came out before for our tacos which we waited for because we didn't want to eat it on its own. So it was frustrating. We did enjoy the karaage-crispy and flavorful. The aioli was on the tangy side though. Cocktails were probably the highlight of the meal. Reasonably priced, generous portion compared to the food. Overall, while I appreciate the effort to bring some bold flavors to the table, I don't think we will be returning. It's definitely not worth the price.

    What a wonderful addition to OKC's already impressive lineup of great restaurants. The place is…read morelively but conversation at our table was just fine, even though we were seated near the door. We had a great group of servers taking care of us led by Lexi. Sometimes the service at new restaurants is challenging but not here. We received fantastic service from the moment we were greeted at the door. The menu is littered with unfamiliar terms and ingredients that you may want to Google beforehand. My husband and I did this before our visit and really had fun learning new names and techniques. It made our visit even better and we were very excited to try new dishes. We were a foursome and treated the menu more like a tapas, sharing bites among friends. This allowed us the opportunity to sample many more dishes than usual. We started with a simple chips and guacamole, which was clearly fresh and made in-house. Next time we'll definitely start with the salsa trio as it sounds equally delicious. Next we ordered the White Bean Purée. The addition of the short ribs makes this a dish not to overlook. We also had the Karaage which is a Japanese style fried chicken. It's not something I'd imagine seeing on a Latin restaurant menu but boy am I glad it is. You can't go wrong with it. You order sides for the table so we chose Elote (Mexican style corn) and Papas Verde (potatoes with verde sauce), as well as a Romaine salad. I didn't get a picture of the salad until it had been dished out so my apologies for the incomplete photo. My husband and I ordered tacos, the Suadero (brisket) for me and the Skirt Steak for him. Both were loaded with flavor but not spicy hot if that's your concern. Our friends ordered the Smoked Half Chicken to share between them. I had a taste and it was terrific, juicy and flavorful. In spite of the mountain of food we'd enjoyed, we couldn't resist dessert, two of them actually. The Banana Bread came with a peanut butter mousse and these delicious cookie and coconut crumbles. The bread was moist and delicious but that mousse was simply fantastic. I've never had anything like it and would buy it by the jar if I could. The Concha is another delightfully unique dish. They take strawberry ice cream, coat it with cornflakes and deep fry it. It turns out looking like a fried chicken breast. They use a Mexican style sweet bread for the buns and deliver it with a knife stuck into the "sandwich" as you'd expect with the real thing. I couldn't try it due to a food allergy but my three tablemates devoured it in short order. If you have a sweet tooth Vecina has the answer for that. I'm very impressed with the food and the wonderful service. It's a fun place and we can't wait to go back soon.

    We were driving from San Francisco to Miami and passing through Oklahoma when we stopped at…read moreEdgar's. What a great surprise. The bandeja paisa and the tamal were delicious and tasted like real Colombian home cooking. Today we also spoke with Ergan, who was super friendly and clearly very passionate about the food. Definitely the best Colombian food we've had in this part of the country.

    It seemed as though children were running this restaurant. Three teenage to early 20s boys were…read more most visible with and elder man coming in and out. So first they tried to sit us at a round booth with a rectangle table that didn't fit so that was poor planning. We asked for a different table and they obliged, no biggie. The oldest young man told us we could scan the QR code for the menu and then left. The menu site had big ads that made it hard to be visible sometimes but we worked through it. He immediately came back and started asking if we knew what we wanted. He didn't even offer drinks, we had to ask and tell him we were figuring it out. We ordered appetizers and food eventually. The empanadas came out, the description said there was meat in them, I saw none. He asked us if we wanted plates, we said yes please and silverware. He brought plates, my husband had to get up and get silverware. Then almost immediately our food came so the timing was poor. The food came out a little at a time. Like our sides and then our mains with some space in between. As they left from the first round of drop off, one of the boys farted really loud right next to our table and just walked off. No excuse me. No I'm sorry. The food was fine and okay, the experience with the wait staff made it just not enjoyable. Also, the carne asada doesn't seem to be actually carne asada so it felt like a lot of things were not as promised. We watched them lock the door a half hour early so be aware they don't honor their posted hours.
