    Love the cool vibe at Rosa Mezcal! My husband had the burrito and I had the taco shots. Both were outstanding! Love the cool presentation of the taco shots. The only downside was the spicy margarita. The presentation was a 10 out of 10 but it didn't have much alcohol for $15.

    Everything about this restaurant is great. The server was amazing and patient while we looked at the menu. The food was delicious. Get the OMG guacamole. We got the birria tacos and the taco shots. They won't disappoint.

    So happy we stopped in for lunch today. We were immediately seated, received our complimentary chips + salsa, and ordered their yummy queso. Everything was super delicious and all of the interactions with staff and servers were super kind and helpful. Very glad we gave them another try! Will definitely be back again soon.

    Mangonada- so dang good!!!

    recommend Rosa Mezcal!!! Mangonada and Paloma were out of this world! We didn't get pics of our El Jefe shrimp burrito or Arroz con Pollo because they were so DELICIOUS! Santiago was THE BEST WAITRESS!!! She kept the chips and salsa coming which were on point!! We will definitely come back when we are traveling through!

    Finally checked out Rosa Mezcal for a work lunch; the space is decorated so fun - would be great for a girls night, happy hour, or brunch! I ordered the birria tacos and tried a bite of my friend's chilaquiles - both of which I'd recommend. Service was fast, and the food was hot. Ask for the spicy salsa!

    The atmosphere, service, food and drinks were great! They easily accommodated our group of 7. Made great suggestions for entrees and drinks. And the flan was AMAZING

    This was our last stop before we left Norman. Place has a stunning vibe and stands by its name. Food not so much vibe. We ordered Torta De Chilaquiles, Birria Tacos, El Jefe Shrimp, street corn, Veg Burrito with Sauce on the side. Appetizers were disappointing, shrimp was overcooked and under seasoned with dressing. Corn was meh as well! Torta was chewy and the bread was extremely dry! Veg burrito was not properly packed and fell apart easily. Birria tacos were the only saving grace, meat was tender and the stew delicious.

    Really great experience for our first time. The restaurant is super cute and very made for instagram I will say though, the booths and chairs along the wall should probably be made of a different fabric and color because you can see all of the food stains. Started with the queso and beef and chips which were great. I got the skinny margarita that came in a fun skeleton glass. The margarita was very good and couldn't even tell it was less calories. My dining partner got the strawberry margarita and liked hers. I had the mezcal chimichangas. Filled with shredded chicken and one was covered wish salsa verde and the other with a chipotle cream sauce. The salsa verde was okay, but the chipotle cream sauce was great with a little spice and a nice chipotle flavor. My dining partner got the Catina bowl and said it tasted good. For dessert we had to get the churros. They were very nice and crunchy and came with some dipping sauces and ice cream. The mini cart the churros came out in just added to the fun. Our server was very sweet and attentive.

    Great location. Dine in and carryout options (especially being next door to BIG Brewery). Walked in to very cool decor, placed an order for tacos and guacamole, and my delightful waiter not only offered to bring it next door to the brewery, but also practiced Spanish with me since I'm learning. The food was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, well-priced and filling. Will definitely be going back when in the area.

    First impression checking in at hostess table, rude rolled her eyes Even after I tried to explain I had spoken to someone in phone I was only trying to explain that wanted to sit together for my birthday Certainly bad taste in my mouth Hope food is worth it Was seated with our family, wait staff was immediate in service. Friendly and awesome Food was great and exceptionally served Wait staff was great and celebrated my birthday in style Drinks were well explained and served with style Thank you

    We went for my sister's 40th birthday today. We did their online check-in to get on the waitlist via Instagram, which was so easy, and kept us updated on our place in line. Great service and we all agreed it was probably the best Mexican we've had, so fresh with real ingredients, not all the processed food you get elsewhere. The complimentary chips and salsa was amazing! We also got queso for the table, which was our favorite, white queso! We all got a variety of different things. My brother who always cleans his plate and those around him was only able to finish 2/3 of his Big Papi Burrito. Said it was the best he ever had and was filled fully with steak. My niece got the tacos and they were so fresh like a classic street taco. I got the Rosa Rolls and again just explosions of fresh flavor. To celebrate my sister's birthday they sang and brought out the churros she ordered and they came out in a mini ice cream cart with different dipping sauces. 10/10 experience! The prices were crazy either. For my drink and rolls it was $20 and I gave the waitress another $10 for being so great!

    We made a reservation to eat here about a week before we came in. We got here and the manager was extremely rude and rushed us saying we can only be here for 90 min before they kick us out. We had 4 people and one of my friends was coming after us and the manager said he couldn't sit us unless everyone was here. When we sat down the waiter rushed us with asking us to put in our drink and food order as soon as we sat down. My friend ordered the chicken quesadillas and they came out as tacos with no cheese. Definitely will not be coming back here after this service and quality of the food.

    The drinks are FABULOUS! Perfect spot for a girls' night! Didn't get pics of the food, but it's ALWAYS on point! Service has always been wonderful! Everyone is so kind and welcoming!

    We ended up eating at The Winston on both Saturday and Sunday after exploring the menu and talking…read moreto our server Logan. On Saturday we ate light since we were going to a concert later. We shared the Buffalo Wontons, the Chicken Flatbread and the Banana Pepper Caesar Salad. The Flatbread was amazing, great flavor combination. The salad has parmesan crisps that were a pleasant surprise. A huge upgrade over croutons. The wontons are light and flavorful. They offer brunch from 10-2 on weekends and after reading the menu descriptions we returned on Sunday to try the Okie Bennie and the Rancheros. The crispy potatoes are awesome. Skin on, seasoned and a great addition to both dishes. The verde sauce on the Rancheros was delicious, the carnitas was tender. A great breakfast bowl. The Okie Bennie was very good. Easy to get a bite of egg, chicken and biscuit on your fork. We finished the meal sharing the sweet potato cheesecake. Our server on Sunday was Matthew. The Winston is worth the wait. Weather permitting, the outdoor patio is a good option.

    We have been coming here for years. Once it turned, employee owned, things definitely changed…read more Tonight one of their staples, the Buffalo wontons, had ranch as the dressing instead of blue cheese. I think they were hoping no one would notice. They were very busy tonight... I will give them that.... But overall, the service level has dropped off, in the food quality has dropped off since they became employee owned. We understand this is a Hal Smith Resteraunt. But it just is really disheartening to see the service level, the drink level, and the food level goes from exceptional to below average. We have not been here for several months, we came here on a whim, and we will probably not be back for several more months. It's just not the same........

I had driven by Opolis many times, but had avoided the bar scene because I wasn't keen on running into people I'd gone to HS with. Luckily, the night I went there was no one from my HS class, in fact there weren't that many people at all and the music was fire! Normanites need to do better and support businesses and local music scenes like this. The cover charge was minimal at $8 and the drinks were good.

This is a good place for entertainment at University of Oklahoma - good people, good times and great experiences. I was a bit early and got introduced to these owners and it was the begining of the wonderful experience. - I had the delicious house Pineapple punch with rum which was excellent and just one glass put a "buzz in my turban" - I got to see the menu and noticed a yummy array of food but did not eat as I had already eaten my dinner! Will be there tomorrow to eat! - The ambience of the place reflects on the warmth and friendly nature of the ownership! The bar was well stocked and well kept, the premises were very clean and there was a sense of pride in what was being done. The outside patio was very charming! - The service was impeccable and as I mentioned in the earlier paragraphs there could not be a friendlier place! Thank you Addi, Lane, Eli, Sarah, Ethan and Julius for looking after me so well. You people are going to go places. To summarize, I had an excellent experience on the above these three categories and I will be going to the dance party on the 3rd!! I strongly recommend this venue for anybody's entertainment needs and a place to get together with friends! As far as entertainment- there was an out of state "modern country western band," Tommy Goodroad and his band, and it was their first gig in Oklahoma. It was excellent stuff played by a very talented band with the artists playing a whole spectrum of originals and cover music. Hope to see you all at the Opolis sometime soon. Have a great weekend!!
