    Three enchilada plate with beans and rice
    Nicolette M.

    Recommended to us by a friend and figured we would give it a go because we were in the area. Busy for a little place which was immediately a good sign. Clean and well taken care of. Food was amazing, absolutely lived up to our expectations and then some. Will definitely be returning just for the food. Our server was less than impressive though, seemed to care more about the soccer game that was on rather than whether or not we needed anything. Sat needing beverage refills during our meal for almost fifteen minutes before anyone came around to check on us. Other than that, would absolutely recommend and this may become one of our go-to places in the area.

    Dinner Fajita - Shrimp Only

    Wonderful experience, drove here from DFW as usual but this visit was different. We got to meet Noe, the son's owner who was very down to earth and a wonderful server. He told us a bit about his parents (the owners)shared a bit of their story and made us feel even more connected to this great place! Although when you drive up it may not be the easiest on the eyes, the food, the service and the people are wonderful and truly worth the stop. Will forever stop here and will forever continue to vouch for this place! Truly a hidden gem.

    Chili rellano loaded with cheese and drowning in queso! OMG Good!
    Frank S.

    This hole in the wall is serving some really awesome Mexican food! We started off with an endless basket of chips and homemade fresh salsa. The tortilla chips were a little thicker, like a Mi Cocina type of chip and had a great flavor. When they brought salsa they brought one for each guest, and that's great for me because I don't like to share my salsa! The chili rellano was a real treat. Often the pepper is breaded and fried, but not here. They were loaded with cheese and drowned in queso. The peppers were cooked el dente and had a good neutral pepper flavor, not too hot and not too sweet. For $19 we had a fajita feast, fresh sautéed peppers and onions served on a sizzling skillet loaded with grilled chicken on top. There were plenty for two people... for both lunch AND dinner! Friendly hometown service. I'd make the trip from Plano just to have the chili rellano again! We have to thank the locals at The Tile Shoppe distribution center for the recommendation.

    Aloha fajitas. This was brought to a catering job at the Oklahoma State Capitol Building. So, so good.

    This is a review written by a person who is on the receiving end of their catering. They brought food from Durant OK to serve the Senate Republican Caucus lunch on a Monday. They brought fajita's. Rice, beans, pico, salsa, chips, tortillas. Guac, shredded queso blanco, shredded cheddar, lettuce. I mean it was a full on Mexican fajita buffet. The fajita's were full of roasted, tender beef, chicken, onions, peppers, pineapple and (drum roll please) BACON! Chips were light, but didn't crumble at a touch. Stood up to scooping the pico, beans, etc. Tortillo's were 6-7". Just a perfect size to stuff with that delicious fajita filling. Don't forget to add your other sides to the tortilla. I am very jealous that I don't live in or near Durant. This place blows away OKC's top 5 mexican restaurants for taste and catering. I will make it to Durant and eat there in person soon. Thank you to the staff and crew who made this catering job possible. From the Capitol staff to the staff at Jalapenos, we love you! Come back soon!

    Margarita

    Great food and great margaritas. Everything is fresh and authentic would definitely recommend this place. They are related to the Villagas in Durant so no wonder why they are so good.

    My wife and I were in Durant on Sunday April 26th and decided to have lunch at Villegas and that…read morewas a great decision. The food is amazing! My wife tried the cheese and chicken enchiladas and I had the sour cream chicken enchiladas and they were great. The sour cream sauce was so good! The place is very popular yet they are able to handle the demand and turn the tables fairly quickly. Also, It is a BYOB type of place so if want a cerveza you will need to bring it yourself. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend this place!

    We were traveling to visit my sister in Dallas. My lady found Villegas on the internet and decided…read moreto make a small detour for dinner. If you're looking for an upscale restaurant with amazing décor... this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a restaurant with good food, great service, and large portions... look no further. Based on reviews we decided to get an order of Fajita's and split them. This was a good decision. We ended up getting the single chicken Aloha Fajitas. The portion size is huge. Even splitting an order, we had left overs. We ended up taking them with to my sisters and eating the rest as left overs with her the next day. We verified we did not get a double. The Fajitas were deliciously amazing. The vegetables were firm, but still soft. The chicken was cooked perfect. It was juicy with a nice char to it. The flavor combination combining the sweetness of the pineapple with the spice of the jalapenos and saltiness of the bacon mixed perfectly with the onions, green peppers and chicken. If, like me, you are not a huge fan of pineapple, don't worry, the flavor is not overpowering, it adds a sweetness with just a hint. It's not overpowering, and it's easy to avoid the chunks of pineapple if you don't want to eat it on it's own. Our only issue was the bathrooms, they were dirty and didn't appear to be well maintained. The partitioned off area they were in was being used for storage making it hard to maneuver. Overall, we had a great experience as Villegas. Our service was fantastic, and the meal was memorable. Just remember that when ordering, keep the portion size in mind. I would give it five stars for food alone, but that would not be accurate of the overall experience.

    Authentic Mexican in Durant, Oklahoma?! Check out: El Kanelo!…read more My wife and I were in Durant, Oklahoma, attending an early evening Graduation at Southeastern Oklahoma State (Go Savage Storm!). We got to town mid-afternoon and had worked up an appetite chatting about Tacos and Shrimp dishes on our 2 hour drive up from Dallas, Texas. We spotted an unassuming Mexican cafe called El Kanelo (Cinnamon) on 729 N. First Street, and stopped in, not confident we would like the place & food. We were swiftly seated in a large booth, ordered water with lemmon (for which we weren't charged) and were brought crispy chips and fresh, home-made, chunky red salsa. The decor was traditional Mexican with dark wooden benches and tables adorned with colorful Mexican pottery back boards. My wife ordered the Steak (strips) Fajita dish ($15.99) and I ordered the Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo (suateed shrimp in garlic, olive oil and citrus juice) ($15.59). Both (large) dishes were brought out within 15 minutes sizzling hot, with richly seasoned aroma of lightly burned peppers. My shrimp was tender, not overcooked and smothered in richly flavored garlic butter. My wife's ample steak fajita's were served on a bed of onions, bell peppers (paprika) and piping hot yellow squash slices. Here is our verdict: Ambiance & Service: 3.5 stars Food Presentation & Quality: 4 stars Food Texture & Taste: 5 stars Quantity & Value: 4.5 stars Overall, an exceptional experience. We each left with a to-go box filled to the rim! We are already planning to go back this summer. Put El Kanelo in Durant, Oklahoma (10 minutes North of the Texas state line) on your road trip list!

    The food was much better than the Mexican restaurants in the area. We will be coming back…read moreThe chili relano was very nice as was the tamale. I had the combination meal and they substituted the rice with refried beans. Personal preference Service was excellent and the margaritas were not as sweet as you sometimes get, so thinking they use a different mix They were okay and would consider the pitcher option next time The Ambiance was typical Mexican restaurant decor. Once seated hard to tell one from the other but it works. Will be back
