    Having a 4.5-star rating on both Google and Yelp confirms that the restaurant is a big hit in the community. I concede to the locals' opinion. The Mexican food expertise of the clientele that were coming and going this afternoon would withstand vigorous scrutiny. Without question these folks know Mexican food and love Mexico Viejo Bar and Grill. Their credentials are obvious. Advice for the out of towners....Saying that you are from [fill in state] and you "know" Mexican food, loud enough for someone to hear it in this restaurant, would cause an involuntary, hissing spray of beer from their mouths, followed by a slap of the table and raucous laughter. Sit down and enjoy the food. The menu covers the OkieMex food spectrum and many traditional items like soups. Decent red salsa, thin crispy chips and an excellent roasted, medium heat jalapeno salsa, got things started. A friendly, patient and assiduous young lady was managing the floor. The food was delivered on the customary hot plates from the broiler, with enough heat to sustain the perfect food temperature throughout the meal. My wife made an unfortunate selection from the Lunch Special menu, the Sophia Special; spinach filled enchiladas covered in queso. The down fall of the dish was the spinach. Likely frozen not fresh. It was rated "not the best I have had" by my wife. Competing against spicy meats, covered in queso; this is probably one of their least popular meals. Not recommended. Real Okies don't eat spinach enchiladas. I chose the Lunch Special Chimichanga with beef. A decent size flour tortilla, packed to capacity with ground beef, rolled and folded, deep fried and covered with very good queso. Pico, guac, rice and beans filled out the hot plate. Well-seasoned beef, smooth refried beans, fresh guacamole and average rice. Roasted jalapeno salsa added another layer of flavor to an enjoyable meal. Two meals, two drinks, chips and salsa, all under $20 (add tip for the great service) And there you have it. It may be the version of authentic OkieMex you are looking for!

    Bartlesville enchiladas
    Lori Y.

    Fantastic service took about five minutes for the four of us to get our meal came piping hot. Meals were perfect and delicious and highly recommend Bartlesville. Best Mexican restaurant !

    Small house margarita

    First let me start with the salsa. This was the best out of everything we had. Cheese Dip (with addded salsa) - too thin and bland. Salsa gave it a little flavor. Guacamole was okay. Would have been nice to have a couple of chunks of the avocado. Margarita was good but nothing exceptional. The Camarones (shrimp) in butter and garlic. - way too much garlic as you can see from the picture. It was so much that it ran into the rice (which actually was to be white rice). I couldn't even eat it. Beans were not too bad. Flour tortillas were store bought, which is a disappointment. Combination platter - no cheese at all in the enchilada - strictly ground beef. Beef tacos really had no flavor for the most parts. My sister had to add salsa to everything. Overall we were hoping for a better outcome after reading the reviews.

    The food was delicious! I ordered a Burrito California and my husband ordered a Burrito Fajita. We were served promptly and checked on regularly. It appears to be a family friendly restaurant as there were several families there.

    I tried take-out recently after having dined in many times. Everything was packed up very well and…read moreat the right temperature for serving. The chicken berry salad was plentiful and very fresh, and the poppyseed dressing was especially good. The meatloaf was also a hit, and the portion was huge, easily enough for 2 people. A couple of things to note: no bread is served with the salad or meatloaf entrees, so order a roll if you need that, and the mashed potatoes did not come with gravy, and could use some butter or gravy (I'm sure they would add it). Also note, the food did not come with any utensils, so if you need those, you'll have to ask. The servers were getting slammed with big groups right at 11:30am on a Saturday, but they were very attentive and the order did not take long to be handed off to me. I will be back, and will call in or order on line and use the take-out door option. Another great experience.

The menu pulls from a variety of places- pizzas, burgers, tacos, salads. To eat, our table got the trip dip with salsa, guacamole, and queso. The chips are thicker than most. For dinner, my fried chicken sandwich was fine. You get to pick your side and there's a lot to choose from. I opted for the green beans. To drink, they have beer, Pepsi products, sweet tea, and more. Service was attentive.

    It was our first time here, it came highly recommended by the dealership in town and a few other…read morelocals. It was definitely worth it. It's a cool, neat place with a bar area in the middle with seating around. We were quickly greeted and our server was prompt. He gave recommendations that definitely helped us on our decision. Wife had the meatloaf, very flavorful, hearty portion of meat served with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes. Definitely a must try. I had the roast beef, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and fresh sautéed green beans. The roast beef was tender, flavorful and the meal was plenty for the price. Highly recommend this plate. If we're ever in the area, we definitely coming back. Tremendous!!

    This was our plan B. We had wanted to eat at another locale in downtown B'ville but it was closed…read more I had been here before so suggested it. Service was great! We were seated upstairs and I really got the vibe that this restaurant could have been in Taos, Red River, or Crested Butte. It's vintage and retro but elevated a bit (if that makes sense). We ordered immediately and I asked about the Pesto Bowl (which was a special). Was told it used to be on the menu about 6 years ago and they were thinking about bringing it back. It was pesto, pasta and veggies but you could add a protein for no extra cost. I just went with the plain bowl (no protein). The Hubs ordered the Steak Dianne ("A throwback to the 1960s"). Thought that was a cool entree to feature. It came with charred (in a good way) Brussel sprouts and delicious mashed potatoes underneath the steak and mushrooms. My basil bowl was pretty good too. The pesto had a great flavor and the veggies were just cooked perfectly--still crisp and not mushy. Only negative was that there was a lot of liquid in the bottom of my bowl. Again, I would return here.

    We went for dinner last night after seeing a friend post online about the place. With a 5:30pm…read morereservation, we were the only people in the entire restaurant. This worried us a little at first. The cocktails were amazing and relatively inexpensive. Nice beer selection too. We started with appetizers and salads and they were excellent. I ordered the fillet for my entrée and it was absolute perfection. One of the best I have ever had, and I'm a big Mahogany/Morton's/Ruth's Chris fan. Service was impeccable (of course we were the only people there). Atmosphere was fantastic with multiple chic booth seating areas that make the dining experience comfortable and private, but also several more open small table options and a beautiful bar. The location and parking is going to be a challenge for them. The Goldies that used to occupy that building experienced similar issues with parking because the lot is terribly designed. There is also a visibility issue because of the way the building is "tucked" under the level of the roadway. Best to park on the North side of the building and avoid the tight angles in front. We will be back, probably frequently, and with friends. It's a great atmosphere with great food and service.

    Long and rambling post so be prepared. Remember that a three is OK. While Palace Rooms has glimpses…read moreof greatness, it was just OK when we were there. I'll start with the pluses. The decore and vibe are excellent. It's retro without being kitschy. It's a cool lcoation (downtown B'ville). The fried mushrooms were maybe the best I've head (rivaling by far Hideaway's). My aperol spritz was delicious. The manager was great! We have been to Lollipops a couple of times in Tulsa and are intrigued about the Palace Rooms and the speakeasy and how they were going to fit all of this into the old Goldies. They just opened these two concepts in Tulsa and we figured they would be swamped this weekend so we decided to roadtrip to B'ville. I got the impression from the Tulsa media stories that they recommended reservations so I did that for the Bartlesville Palace Rooms. (It's pretty simple to do on their website.) They do not have a host at the door and there was just a sign that said seat yourself. Since we had a reservation and I didn't want to screw up their system, we checked in with the bartender. "Oh yeah, we've got a couple of reservations. Just grab whatever reserved spot you want." No one ever asked what the name was. We did grab a cozy booth area (couch, a couple of chairs and a coffee table). Great area for having cocktails. Not so much for dining. We sat for a while without service and then went to the bar to order drinks. Bartender said they would be delivered. We literally watched our drinks walk by our table a couple of times before the server checked back in with the bartender to see where they were supposed to go. She then grabbed us menus. That was all. Finally, the manager came by to see if we needed anything. We said we wanted to order an app and she took our order. While I didn't think the wait for the mushrooms was that long, the staff seemed to think it was. Another server came over to let us know it would be about four more minutes. Then the manager delivered our food and apologized. Again, the mushrooms were excellent! We decided that we would go dine elsewhere. It was honestly for a couple of reasons---I didn't want to eat off a coffee table (and we totally could have moved b/c they weren't that busy). And, I really didn't want to spoil the OK-ness of our experience here. (I really want to love this place.) We asked for the check and the manager, still our main server, was really perplexed. She wanted feedback and sat down with us in our booth. She shared a few things on how they were working kinks out. Totally personable and I would revisit just because she took the time to find out what we thought. Final thoughts: great vibe, probably a great cocktail place, menu looked interesting, if you want to dine, grab a table. I feel like if we had sat at the bar we might have stayed. Manager was excellent and is really trying to make this a stellar experience. Honestly, if it had not been for her, we probably would have walked out after our drinks.
