Authentic Mexican in Durant, Oklahoma?! Check out: El Kanelo!…read more My wife and I were in Durant, Oklahoma, attending an early evening Graduation at Southeastern Oklahoma State (Go Savage Storm!). We got to town mid-afternoon and had worked up an appetite chatting about Tacos and Shrimp dishes on our 2 hour drive up from Dallas, Texas. We spotted an unassuming Mexican cafe called El Kanelo (Cinnamon) on 729 N. First Street, and stopped in, not confident we would like the place & food. We were swiftly seated in a large booth, ordered water with lemmon (for which we weren't charged) and were brought crispy chips and fresh, home-made, chunky red salsa. The decor was traditional Mexican with dark wooden benches and tables adorned with colorful Mexican pottery back boards. My wife ordered the Steak (strips) Fajita dish ($15.99) and I ordered the Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo (suateed shrimp in garlic, olive oil and citrus juice) ($15.59). Both (large) dishes were brought out within 15 minutes sizzling hot, with richly seasoned aroma of lightly burned peppers. My shrimp was tender, not overcooked and smothered in richly flavored garlic butter. My wife's ample steak fajita's were served on a bed of onions, bell peppers (paprika) and piping hot yellow squash slices. Here is our verdict: Ambiance & Service: 3.5 stars Food Presentation & Quality: 4 stars Food Texture & Taste: 5 stars Quantity & Value: 4.5 stars Overall, an exceptional experience. We each left with a to-go box filled to the rim! We are already planning to go back this summer. Put El Kanelo in Durant, Oklahoma (10 minutes North of the Texas state line) on your road trip list!

I had the combination meal and they substituted the rice with refried beans. Personal preference Service was excellent and the margaritas were not as sweet as you sometimes get, so thinking they use a different mix They were okay and would consider the pitcher option next time The Ambiance was typical Mexican restaurant decor. Once seated hard to tell one from the other but it works. Will be back

All the classics you know, done right. They recently expanded next door and the atmosphere is very nice and well walked-out. Birra tacos are my go to. I woulda posted a pic, but they were consumed by the time I had the idea to leave a review. As far as I'm concerned, my two favorite tacos of all time are in Durant. Sorry to do this but gotta give respect where respect is due, the OG Taco Casa was a high school regular and still is when I'm in town. But that's Tex-mex. Tacos Locos is real Mexican with Menudo, Tortas, chilaquiles, etc. speaking of, the breakfast menu looks stellar, but I haven't tried it yet. Service is on point and speedy. Just go here.

I'm going to show you the best ones. Let's start with Caminos de Guanajuato Mexican restaurant, a top pick. A small family ran business with wonderful friendly accommodating owners and excellent authentic food that make for an enjoyable dining experience. The other positive is the reasonably close easy access to Highway 75. Pozole for me, chilaquiles for my wife. The pictures tell the story. Learned something also. The owner explained that in Mexico, traditionally a small bowl of soup is served before the meal, vs. chips and salsa. He served us a tasty little bowl of chicken soup, along with the chips and salsa. Ask for both and be sure to try all of the salsas.
