    As I walked in
    Bryan S.

    In the area for watching the nephews baseball tournament and looking for a early lunch. Taco Bueno was in the prime location. Walked in and was greeted promptly. Ordered To-go and waited while it was made fresh. The order was delivered in a timely manner and all flavors were delicious. The lobby was clean as were the restrooms. The cost was reasonable and the food was hot. I had a crispy shrimp soft taco and some potato sticks that I noticed on the menu (never seen them before) they hit the spot....It a pretty good location and I will return when in the area. Thank you team for being patient as I scrolled the menu multiple time before deciding... Team should commended! Respectfully, Bryan OKC

    I'm Not liking what they have done to taco Bueno. When I lived here before it was so good now it's very skimpy. I'll keep trying different one

    Behind the counter the floor was so filthy. You can only see a fraction in this picture.

    This Taco Bueno location is consistently the slowest and least friendly of any Bueno we go to.

    We hadn't been to Ted's Escondido in years, but we used to be regulars back in the day. With a few…read moregreat Mexican spots much closer to us now (shoutout to Gustavo!), we figured we'd step out of our routine and give bingo night at Ted's a try. We arrived around 6:45pm for the 7pm bingo, only to find out it wasn't being held on the patio as advertised. That was fine--it was hot out anyway. We were shown to a small indoor section and luckily grabbed the last high-top table. Service was very slow. We waited a while before anyone came by, and it took 40 minutes to get my margarita. Our food actually came out before our drinks. I ordered a skinny margarita but got something syrupy and full of sweet & sour mix instead. Tried to switch to wine, but surprise--they don't serve wine. At a full bar. Odd. The food was just okay at best. * "Cilantro lime" rice had corn and no trace of cilantro or lime. Not good. * Black beans with pico--bland. * Cheese enchilada--fine, but forgettable. * Queso tasted like El Chico (nostalgic, but not in a good way). * Salsa had zero spice. Our server was rarely around, and when we were ready to pay, we actually had to get up and ask the manager at the host stand to bring us our check. Not a great ending to the meal. Bingo was... fine. It moved fast but had long breaks in between rounds. We played five games and didn't win. Prizes were $10 gift cards--not bad, but not enough to bring us back.

    I'm not going to say I'm bias, but since this is where my husband and I met up for our first date,…read moreI might be bias. We love this spot. I found it when he asked if there was a place I'd want to go to and I suggested somewhere in west BA because he was loving way east and I'm in Tulsa. I looked on Yelp and suggested Los Vaqueros, which just happened to already be one of his favorite places. We have come back many times together since our first meeting because the service is solid with friendly staff, the food is reliably always good, and we like hopping next door when we are done and shooting some pool. He always asks them to make shrimp quesadillas. They aren't on the menu, but they will make them and they are good! The shrimp are large and juicy. I love a lunch special when we've come for lunch (like we did for our first date), but at dinner time, I tend to lean towards the margarita chicken. Super good. A nice portion of grilled veggies, and the chicken is always moist. I like that it is pretty colorful on here. I told him that was something g that o liked when we came here on our first date. But they keep lighting lower, so it's not shockingly colorful. I just really enjoy it here!

    Had a blast last night for Cinco de Mayo at Los Vaqueros and it did not disappoint. Even as busy as…read moreit was, we only waited maybe 15 minutes for our table. They had a live band, and Gabby the clown was making the coolest balloon yo-yos. She spent some one-on-one time with little mama showing her tricks, which made her night. Our server was 10/10, food was 10/10, and we shared the Monterey Jack steak and bacon wrapped (yes, bacon wrapped) chicken fajitas and they were MONEY. Portion size was huge too -- we still have leftovers today. The $5 margarita special was strong and tasty, and little miss even got to ride her first mechanical bull. Safe to say we'll definitely be back.

We had to ask for both multiple times after receiving our meal and only got the silverware packages. Couldn't eat without it.... We also had to request more chips and water as well. But they were not very busy... Husband ordered a frozen margarita which took a very long time to arrive. Our server told us management would compensate us for the wait but "didn't make it to change our ticket before we paid our bill." Our server unfortunately spilled a full glass of lemonade. It spilled on myself, husband, our kids backpack and the next table. We left sticky, no way to clean up was offered. Nothing was provided other than verbal apologies. Spoke with management at the end as we left and the manager "had no idea any of this happened." Needless to say we will not be back, which is sad bc our kids love "the pink place."

    Hey Chuy's We…read morerecently visited Chuy's and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Our family waited 45 minutes to be seated, all while there were multiple empty tables visible throughout the restaurant. This was not a one-time situation--this is the second time this has happened to us at this location. Manager Kristina was handling seating herself, and while we understand things can get busy, the lack of efficiency and awareness during that time was very noticeable. Waiting that long with open tables available reflects poor organization and a lack of customer care. What made it even more frustrating is that in the past, this was a place we truly enjoyed, largely because of the quality of service. Since some of the staff we used to see are no longer there, the difference in service is very clear. Because of repeated experiences like this, we won't be returning.

    El Rio Verde is authentic Mexican food, not TexMex. It's in an older neighborhood near I-244 and…read moreUtica and doesn't look like much from the outside (or the inside), but the food is great! It's well-worn but clean. Staff is quick and friendly. The prices are very reasonable. You'll leave full, but not bloated. I've been a fan of El Rio Verde for many years and always look forward to eating here. It's not a large place and only has perhaps four or five booths and a half-dozen tables, and it fills up fast at lunch. They're known for their "Wet Burrito," but the enchiladas and burritos are also outstanding. The refried beans are fresh and made in-house. The salsa is freshly made too and very good, but not memorable like the food. You'll see people from all walks of life eating here - couples, single moms with children, police officers, business people, blue collar workers, and everyone in-between. If you want really good Mexican food that is not TexMex or from a chain restaurant, try this place! You won't regret it! One of my favorite places in Tulsa. However, as of this review, be aware that Utica Avenue, just east of the restaurant, has been blocked to north-bound traffic only for water main replacement, so getting into the neighborhood is easier than leaving. Plan to go toward downtown on the service road next to I-244 for most efficient egress.

The service was deplorable at best, as we had to request things multiple times after continued efforts at flagging them down. They WILL ignore you. Have NO IDEA how they "got on the map" to begin with. Ambience is an afterthought.
