    Massive order of nachos
    Ray N.

    I pass through Durant regularly going from Tulsa, OK to Dallas, TX. This trip was no different except I had a group of guys and we were on our way home from a fishing trip on Lake Texoma. Mind you, we're all regular guys, but each of us are uniquely well travelled as professionals in our fields. On our way home we saw a couple of billboards that called this restaurant out as nationally acclaimed. None of us had been here before so we thought we'd try it out. We all were served hot food and left with full bellies, but much was to be desired. I am not here to speak poorly of this locally owned and operated dining establishment but I'll say it did leave much to be desired. The service was good however. I must say the hostess seated us promptly and our server was friendly but that's about as good as it got for me. The restaurant itself seemed oddly dim or not lit very well. We were in around 1 PM on a Saturday and it was, well, dingy. The menus were falling apart, our table and chairs didn't look like they'd be in use much longer and the overall appearance on the side wasn't much better. The food did come out piping hot as expected for a Mexican restaurant. I'll give them kudos for that. The food we all had though wasn't all that good despite the gargantuan portions. They do give you a ton of food here. One friend ordered a 'small' plate of nachos and I think 3 of the 4 of us could have filled up on that alone! Everything to me tasted canned and not fresh. This for me takes away from any dining experience. I like freshly prepared food. I am good with canned if it's done well and doesn't at least taste like it's fresh from a can or bag or from the freezer. So overall, this wasn't a horrible place to eat, but I had higher expectations. Odds are I won't stop in here again, but don't let my opinion alone be a reason to not try this place out. I'd encourage anybody to stop in and give it a whirl. You may like it where I didn't. And take advantage of the free queso for checking in on yelp!

    They have the best cheese enchiladas! Also good: tacos, guacamole, nachos, and rice.

    The General Manager!  Charlotte.

    Oh my, a really friendly bar! Got away from the Coctaw casino for a bit and found this gem! The General Manager walked right up and introduced herself as Charlotte and made me and my brother feel right at home. 4 miles from the Choctaw and we found ice cold beers at half the price. Highly recommend! Oh and the world's largest peanut is a few blocks away in front of city hall.

    This was part of my child's chicken strip that was as hard as a rock.  There was no way that my 5 year old daughter could eat this.

    This used to be my favorite Mexican place. They have been bought by another local place that went under and i can tell you it's probably not gonna be long before Salita's goes under. The food was definitely not the quality that we had with the original owner! My quesadillas were cold, my husband's enchiladas tasted disgusting and my daughter's chicken strips were sent back because they were almost burnt and too hard to eat. When they came back out they were the same... the grease they were using needed to be changed. The waitress was nice and told us that we would not be charged for the child's chicken or our drinks but even at that, for two dinners and a child's enchilada, it was almost $50!!!! Unfortunately I'm done with Salita's or Sport's City. Take your money elsewhere.

    Stopped in based on it being the only restaurant in Durant with a review on Yelp. Upon seeing lots of police cars in the lot, I knew it must be a good restaurant since they eat out a lot and I would think would go to good places. The dish to get is the one they label their best seller, the Fireman's Special, which is either chicken or fajita steak over rice with queso on all of it. Trust me, the queso soaks in to the rice making it so delicious. I'm considering asking local tex mex places to try and make this dish.

    Situated on the main drag of Durant, Oklahoma, Salita's looks fun from the outside with separate entrances for the restaurant and companion bar, Saluter's. With a Tex-Mex selection of burgers and enchiladas, the menu is likewise fun, including dinners such as Labor Inducing Tacos, Mark's Mess and Popeye (you guessed it, that last one involves spinach. I'm not sure what the first one involves.) There is a pretty fair selection of the usual, various combination plates, fajitas, quesadillas, etc. I went with the El Marco - two enchiladas and a taco. Service was fast, polite and seating on the patio provided a nice view of the sunset and passing traffic. The taco was okay - sort of like Taco Bell with slightly better meat and trimmings. The enchiladas didn't fare much better; same type of pasty ground beef and a stick of jack cheese in the enchiladas. The bland refried beans and taste-free rice actually elevated the meal somewhat. On the margarita scale from 1 to 10; 1 being " this rocks the salsa" to 10 being "Christ Jesus get the taste out of my mouth", it gets a 5. Having said that, I literally didn't finish my meal for fear of bad Taco Bell flashbacks. Thank God for cilantro and guacamole, the condiments that care. There might be more to those comical entree names that meets the eye.

    I've been here a couple times with family. Grew up on Tex-Mex in Ft. Worth. I'm not saying I'm a expert, but the food is decent. My parents had the enchiladas, they said they could have a little seasoning in the meat. I had the Chili Relleno this time. It was very tasty. I was wishing there were 2 on the plate! But I did get the lunch special, and I really didn't need 2! The rice and beans where about the same as they are everywhere. Chips and salsa where good. The service was ok, I had to stop someone to get a refill on my tea.

    A friend and I stopped in for a late lunch, we were seated immediately by a very friendly hostess. Through my Yelp check-in and we received free Queso along with our complementary chips and salsa. I love Chili Relleno's so asked if the Chili Relleno's were homemade and the waiter said they were frozen - he was not sure if they were homemade then frozen or bought from a vendor. He said the tamales were homemade, so I ordered the tamale plate without rice. My friend ordered the Chicken fajitas. When our order came out it looked and smelled good, they were very generous with the chicken fajitas, my friend said very tasty and happy with her lunch. The tamales were a huge disappointment, they looked and tasted like Hormel canned tamales - one bite, and there was no way that was homemade. When the very nice waiter came back to check on use, I told him I did not like the tamales - he asked if I would like something else, I did not so he removed the tamale plate from our check - that was excellent customer service.

    Service was good. Salsa and queso was good. I had the Monterey chicken which was ok, parts of it was a little tough.

    Always a great place to go! Great Mexican restaurant... Only thing I thing they could do better on is adding white queso dip to their menu!

    An unexpected gem in the rough…read more Look, I love hole in the walls, and yes... there are places I judge solely on the "look" of places, but even I know you can't judge a book by its cover. I found myself in Gainesville... not a place I typically go on a daily basis. I needed to grab a bite, I needed to do it quickly, and fast food was just not going to work for me... Driving around I passed this place 2x times before finally giving up and saying to myself... "ugh... ok let's try it". Glad I did. They welcomed me in as if I was a regular there, someone that they see all the time. Not special in the slightest but also not a stranger in the least bit. It was comforting... homely... nice. The nice waitress provided me a menu, asked if I wanted a drink and brought over a basket of chips and salsa, both fresh and delicious. Found my way to the enchiladas and crossed my fingers. Within a few chips and minutes my plate arrived. Decently portioned and hot. Initial thoughts were "man, I'm hungry" and "that came quick!". It did not disappoint. Have I had better? You bet I have... was this good? Well... I finished it without complaint. Decent food, clean and welcoming, good price and a place anyone would be proud to say "I go to Mi Casa for Mexican food". Try'em... you may just be surprised.
