I would be willing to bet, that at one time long ago, there was a sign on this building that read…read more"Gas-Beer-Ice-Worms." It looks like it has to have been in a previous life, an old-time, small-town convenience store where you pull in, gas up the boat, fill the ice chest with cheap PBR, grab a pack of night -crawlers and head to the lake. Now, the small inconspicuous building is split down the middle. A dispensary providing medicinal stress relief to the community operates in the west side and the family owned and operated Taqueria El Sabor Jarocho restaurant fills the remaining half. Driving into Skiatook from Hwy 75, the restaurant is unnoticed, and is equally invisible as you leave town headed east; mostly hidden by the vehicles parked under the old gas station canopy. It looks more like a small used car lot. The letters stenciled on the border of the old canopy that once proclaimed the restaurants existence have faded to extinction. Inside there is a small dining area with six tables that occupy the restaurant's allotted half the structure. Somewhere behind the wall in the remaining space is a functioning kitchen. A damn good one! Chips and good mild salsa come with the meal. There are several other varieties of salsa available. All good. The one that was in the little to-go cup was the best. Flavorful, a little smokey and not extremely hot. I bet they have a green salsa too. Hot plates came to the table. My wife had the beef enchiladas covered in an authentic red sauce (not tomato sauce.) Plenty of flavor on the plate, nothing bland. Beans and rice, tasty delicious as they should be. I went with the Mega Burrito. A bloated over stuffed flour tortilla filled with equal amounts of beans, rice, fajita beef, cheese and a little lettuce. The burrito was covered in queso. Excellent! The dining environment ain't enticing, but the authentic Mexican food is. 4.8 stars from over 200 reviews on Google back that up. Very good service.

It's a bit flashy and loud. They have a happy hour and a different special every day of the week. We went on a Wednesday and their Wednesday special is $5 Margaritas. I ordered one and Dan waited to taste mine before he decided. It was huge and it was sweet. It tasted a bit like Kool Aid. I ordered it on the rocks. That was a mistake. When I suspect a margarita might be sweet and have lots of artificial ingredients, I usually order it frozen. The ice mutes the sweetness. Dan got a beer after tasting my Margarita. I ordered my usual chili rellenos. The breading was much too thick. I took it off and ate the pepper. The refried beans had a good flavor and the rice was okay. Dan got a chicken quesadilla al a carte. I love that they have an al a carte menu. His quesadilla had a lot of chicken and not much cheese. The juice of the chicken filled his plate and made the bottom side of the tortilla soggy. The service was spotty. We had to do some waiting for the waiter. The decor and the music were both loud. They didn't have the volume turned up high. It is just the style of Mexican music that I consider loud. Our favorite Mexican restaurant plays Mexican music that I find classy. I enjoy it. Their Mexican art is also softer. That's a matter of taste.

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.

Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The tacos were well seasoned with great texture, and the pork tamale was tender and delicious.

Everything came out fresh, hot, and made to order. You can tell they care about the quality of their food. Here are my honest ratings: Tamales - 9.5/10 (packed with flavor and super fresh!)

I grew up eating Mexican food, and no place has every made me say "OMG This is so delicious!!!" Until this meal. The meal started with a cup of beef consomme and some spices with a slice of lime. As one would expect chips and Salsa, but even these chips were fresh. Made in house no store bought chips on our table!! Bonus points!! For my meal I had the Chile Rellano it was stuffed with cheese and potato served over a red sauce with traditional Mexican rice and a side of green Tomatillo rice (which I have never seen)and a side of Charro beans. I have never met a Chile Rellano I couldn't finish till this one. The Charro beans came out with piece of fried bacon setting in the edge of the beans...that was a done deal...nothing beats that bacon on the beans!!!

Not much happening in Hominy, just dilapidated vacant buildings and rusting oilfield equipment, abandoned evidence of the bustling oil boom days. Many of the city lots are covered with decaying antique iron dinosaurs, which are now worth more in scrap steel value, than the land the equipment occupies. The men that operated the equipment are long gone, as is the wealth they made from the effort. Two cop cars sitting in the burned-out corner convenience store parking lot. Officers talking to each other to keep from falling asleep from the boredom. Even the Dollar General appears to be barely making it; similar to the cell phone service that fades in and out, almost nonexistent. Traffic delays from road construction on the edge of town, forces life to slow down even more. Welcome to Hominy Oklahoma. In a town by this name, you would think the Mexican restaurant would have Pozole. Nope. Los Tres Hermanos makes up for it though with a great small town OkieMex menu covering just about everything else. The service was acceptable. Some of the food items were exceptional. Those will be emphasized. Check the pictures. The meals are identified there. The red salsa was good. The green salsa was spectacular. Fresh tomatillos, jalapenos, onion, cilantro and other spices, blended to perfection. Pick out a spoon shaped chip and fill it to capacity. Delicious. Next up the perfect crispy, flavorful carnitas in the enchiladas. These were done right and then covered with a tangy green sauce. An unbeatable combination. I ordered my enchiladas with half green sauce and half chili. The chili was very good. If they sell it by the bowl, get it. Everything else on the plate was fresh and mildly seasoned. My only criticism was the temperature of the food and plates. They were properly warm, but they needed to spend more time in the broiler. The cheese on my wife's enchiladas needed more time in the heat, as did the cheese filling in my enchiladas. The carnitas filled enchiladas, with the green sauce, is the winning meal here. For a perfect start to the meal, ask for the green salsa to scoop up with the crispy chips.
