The enchilada sauces here are good in our experience, especially the chili con carne and entomatada. The lunch menu is very reasonably priced and the fajitas on the lunch menu were a really good value. They have some very well priced drink specials as well if you are coming in for happy hour. This place is better than most of the Mexican restaurants in the Tulsa area, and I can assure you that we have tried many of them. The place has a campy hole-in-the-wall Mexican place vibe. Service is usually on top of it and relatively friendly.

Pibil doesn't show up on many OkieMex restaurant menus. I was excited to try it at Don Pibil. So,…read morewhat's the deal with Pibil? It is prepared differently than carnitas and has much more flavor. Don Pibil Stilly Express, located in the building that used to be Maysan Gyro. The inside of the restaurant is typical OkieMex décor and ambiance. Low rent restaurant operations set up in a repurposed building (often an old Pizza Hut) or any previous failed restaurant location. Like most all small Oklahoma Mexican restaurants the air conditioner was fighting hard; just barely staying a few degrees above the oppressive July heat. But well enough that it was not uncomfortable in the restaurant. Likely much cooler than dining outdoors at Don Pibil Grill, a food truck operation on 6th Ave. My wife and I both had the Don Pibil Special. A platter described on one of the online posted menus as a chili relleno (covered in queso), beans, cilantro rice, pico de gallo, cilantro, pibil pork, red onion and tortillas. This was not listed on the menu screen, but the guy at the counter said he could make us a couple. No hay tortillas ni salsa gratis. Ok then. With the meal we ordered the Trio Appetizer Sampler. Queso, salsa, guacamole and chips. Recommended, see the pictures. What we were served was a little different than the description. Specifically, no queso on the relleno, regular Mexican rice, no red onion, jalapenos instead and no tortillas. Minor issues, the crispy coated relleno was excellent. Queso not needed. Overall, the meal was good. The Pibil was excellent. Salsas very good. Guacamole excellent! Order at the counter. Your food is delivered to the table. We enjoyed the food!

We drove around town to see the old buildings. Mostly crumbling, vacant structures with faded signs…read morepainted on the building's exterior bricks. The logos once proudly announced the owner's name and services. Essential then, now ancient. Sad. We imagined what the town was like, when oil was life in Oklahoma. The buildings then housed businesses that employed many, put food on the table and provided opportunities for several generations. Yale, a living ghost town now. The massive building has a Spanish architectural hint and colors that suggests, Mexican food can be found here. It is now Chava's. It covers almost a city block. This place probably rocked in the old days. The parking lot being full of oilfield worker's trucks at noon during the week and family cars on the weekend. Now well worn, the neglected exterior matches the town; weeds, the structures only landscaping. Today, the entire declining population of Yale could probably fit in the building. The parking lot was vacant when we arrived. The restaurant survives, thanks to dedicated locals and with the help of hungry sports fans headed to Stillwater for the Saturday game. Currently its ranking as the "Best Mexican Food in Yale" is unchallenged. The food is served on hot plates, properly prepared and good portions. The service is friendly and the restaurant is relatively clean, but noticeably warn. We ordered one of the combination plates, a relleno and a beef enchilada. On their own both were good; but the red sauce on the meal didn't work. Closer in taste to marinara spaghetti sauce than anything Mexican. The salsa served with the chips was similar in taste. Very mild, oregano flavor prominent. When we ordered, the young man offered three options: white queso, yellow queso or red sauce. We asked about the red sauce. He described it as "like chili. Nope, it is more like spaghetti sauce. The beans and rice were good. Underneath the sauce, was a nice big, fresh poblano, filled with cheese, battered and fried, accompanied with a mildly seasoned, beef filled enchilada. My recommendation, order queso on anything that comes with a sauce. It will be very mild, but better than the spaghetti sauce. If you are a person that finds a Tic Tac to be a little too spicy; you'll love the mild salsa.

The menu also deserves credit because there was a huge variety of options, enough that just about anyone could find something they'd enjoy, and the prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, the interior was stunning. Bright, colorful, and beautifully designed in a way that almost felt like dining inside a Mexican cathedral. It had warmth and personality without feeling tacky or overdone. You can tell a lot of care went into creating the space. Which makes the actual food situation even more disappointing. The food itself was not bad in terms of quality or preparation. Underneath everything, there were good flavors there. The problem was the salt. Nearly everything we ordered was so aggressively oversalted that it became difficult to enjoy after a few bites. I'm not usually sensitive to sodium, but it actually caused a mild dermatological reaction for me afterward, and my girlfriend could not even finish half of her meal because it was simply too much. It is honestly a shame because almost every other part of the experience was great. If the kitchen could rein in the salt levels, this place would be a great spot for after a movie. Unfortunately, as it stands now, we will not be returning.
