I use to love this place, but after being served soggy gooey flautas and then the management arguing with me about them being soggy and not their fault. I didn't order them being drowned in queso & soggy icky goo! I ordered them fried & crispy as stated on the menu! Y'all just lost a loyal customer of many years that eats there at least once a week, as I won't be back after the way I was treated by management & them wanting to argue with me! So unprofessional!!! read more

My family and I recently stopped in here to catch up after a reunion. The servers were super nice and pushed some tables together for us all to fit. The ambience of the restaurant was super cool and it had a bunch of fun murals everywhere as well as a themed bathroom. To start off most of us got Carne Asada tacos with a side of refried beans and rice. they were good and paired well with the chips and salsa. I decided to get the quesabirria tacos with a side of consomé and it was okay. It kind of tasted plain and didn't have as much teas in it as I would like as well as cilantro and onions. The consomé was good, but the actual birria meat of the taco tasted plain. It was nothing to write home about, especially since we come from Az. I'd definitely get something else if we came back but everybody else enjoyed their meals. It was definitely an okay Mexican spot, the service and ambiance of the restaurant make up for it. read more

While heading south on Hw.75 my wife and I, along with some friends stopped at El Tapatio in Okmulgee for dinner. There seems to be plenty of parking. the restaurant appears to be clean with an abundance of servers. We were greeted at the door with a friendly host that guided us to our table. Our waiter was very professional, courteous and efficient. We received plenty of complimentary chips and salsa. We also ordered a small bowl of their white sauce dip that was very tasty. I ordered the special dinner. You really don't want to order this item unless you have a huge appetite. I'm a big man and a big eater. I couldn't eat it all. My wife ordered a taco salad. Our friends ordered the pineapple fajitas and shrimp cocktail. Everyone was pleased with their food and service. The only issue I had was my order came with a tamale that I found to be very dry and was lacking flavor. That's the reason for four stars I do recommend this restaurant, and plan to stop again the next time I pass through Okmulgee. read more

Our family regularly visits Okmulgee. We decided to try El Tapatio about 9 months ago. We were so pleasantly surprised! We LOVE Mexican food and I think this is the best restaurant we've been to in Oklahoma. It's our go to spot every visit too. The chips and salsa are always soooo good. Tonight we also ordered some queso - yummmm. I usually enjoy getting one crispy taco and one enchilada but tonight I tried the carne asada and WOW The seasoning was pure perfection. It was thin and tender. When I complimented the staff they explained that they choose the best quality and I totally agree. My kiddos always get bean burritos. They gobble them up! But my seven year old saw my asada and begged to try it. He was sold! My hubby got the #5 and cleaned his plate. The staff are ALWAYS, always, always friendly, quick and go above and beyond. El Tapatio has got some atmosphere! The tables are all hand painted in different themes, always lots of people talking... having a good time - it's just a feel good place with excellent staff and delicious food. Try it, I think you'll like it! read more

El Tapatio - Great sauce, - Mexican Near Me - Okmulgee, Oklahoma

My Covid19 tour of America stopped in Okmulgee, OK. I wanted to support local restaurants so El Tapitio it was. My combination, burrito, taco, chili relleno was very tasty. I am pleased to have stopped there. read more

We ordered a fajita platter. It was oversalted. The meat was stringy and tough. The plate was hot, not sizzling, as we have been served in good Mexican restaurants. The waiter did not bother to give his name, bring plates for the chips, so we were stretching across the table to reach the chip basket and salsa. The salsa was the consistency of tomato juice with Tabasco and something else that looked dark, but had not substance. If passed through a strainer, there would be no chunks of tomato, cilantro, onion. We arrived before 5pm. I asked the waiter if he was in a hurry to serve someone else to which he replied he wasn't. We had to ask another waiter for to-go containers. Other tables were better served, no doubt. The food was the same though. read more

BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN OKMULGEE! I had never tried this place until I got tired of El Charro. Everything is good. The salsa, the queso, and all the workers are awesome. My usual go to is the fajitas, big burritos and also the enchiladas. they all tasted authentic. The environment also gives you a nice feeling of Mexico :) 9/10 recommended read more

Fantastic fajitas and margaritas!! Chips and salsa great also! Will go here again for sure!

This is great authentic Mexican food. Visiting from California I didnt have any high expectations for Mexican food in Oklahoma but this play was great! Margarita's are amazing too! read more

The Chile relleno was too spicy hot to eat and darker in color than we'd ever seen and server's accent was a tad hard to understand. Other than that, it was just so-so and we've eaten in a lot of Mexican food places. We've had better and we've had worse. read more

I ordered a small dish of chili con queso with a side of meat and corn tortillas. The food came out quickly and was tasty. They have many, many menu options including many combos and specials, as well as a kids menu. You can order al la carte like I did, which seems like the quickest way to get what you want. The wait staff was friendly. The dining room is kind of small. I recommend El Tapatio if you want good Tex-Mex food in Okmulgee. read more

The food is very good. I order takeout often from there. I often order the same thing but there is some fluctuations $2-$3 on how much I am charged. I don't know if this is accidental or deliberate. I can pay $7 or $10 depending on who checks me out. The food is very good though. read more

I am visiting Okmulgee this week for my job and decided to eat lunch here based on the number of cars in the parking lot. There was one open space. I walked into a packed dining room. Luckily, several tables were leaving. I was greeted and offered a beverage and a basket of tasty chips and salsa was delivered right away. There were numerous options available for lunch as well as the regular menu offerings. I decided on the Chicken Fajita Salad. The chicken was very tender and well seasoned. There were grilled peppers, onions, and generous dollops of sour cream and guacamole on the top. There also was pico de gallo mixed in. It was a delicious blend!!! I enjoyed my meal so much, I might go back again tomorrow. read more

The food is excellent and service was fast and attentive. The dining room was a little small and crowded and the furniture could use an update, but I wasn't there for the decor. If you find yourself in Okmulgee and craving Mexican food, this is the place to go. read more

Some of the BEST Mexican food in this town!! The servers are very friendly, everything on their menu is very good and reasonably priced. But personally my favorite is the "Steven special" read more

It was a solid American-Mexican restaurant. Don't expect to find any lengua con salsa verde, but the chips were thin and had good flavor, the salsa was lovely, and there was hot sauce on the table to spice it up, and the entrees themselves were pretty nice. From the options in town, this seemed to be one of the better ones, and it was recommended by both the hotel staff, and my co-workers. read more

If you are looking for excellent food, proffesional staff and a wonderful experience.. I truly recommend! It is amazing food!

I grew up on the border and remember going to restaurants in Mexico. El Tapatio brought back a lot of those memories. The waiters were all running around the restaurant and made us feel like they knew us personally. The food was good, especially the spicy salsa. I had to get some to bring home for my breakfast tomorrow. read more
