    Quality has gone way down hill in the last decade. It's constantly dirty and the workers have a bad attitude. Food is never up to temp.

    This place sucks it takes to long to order and takes WAY to long to get your food and I would probably hire new staff or hire a new manager

    Staff was not overly friendly. Food was acceptable, if sloppy. Kinda slow. Just eh. -Sort of standard for Claremore fast food, it seems.

    I like this more than Taco Bell but sometimes the beef is too greasy. I wish they would fix it because it could be great.

    Your typical fast food service. Taco Bueno is much better than Taco Bell in food terms. Try anything on the menu.

    Today I had to run to Claremore over lunch, so I took advantage of the opportunity to try El…read moreBanquete. TLDR: Great food, nice interior, decent prices. I hit the door right at 11:45 and was promptly seated, swapping a menu, chips and salsa for a drink order and a small queso. The menu is reasonably large, but not overly so. Plenty of options to choose from for almost anyone. I'd already seen they had Chile Verde on the menu, so I zeroed in on that like a fat dog on a chicken leg. Almost immediately, the queso hit the table. The salsa was out of this world good. I seriously almost ordered a pint to go, it was so good. Not hot at all, but rich with tomato flavors and subtle heat and spices. The queso was thin, and stayed workable throughout the meal, which is a huge plus for me. Flavorwise, it was slightly rich, very Monetery Jack flavored with noticeable hints of jalapeno. Great queso. My entree hit the table quickly, while I was still face deep in queso and chips. Beatifully plated, I hoped the taste lived up to the appearance.... and it did. While it was all good, surprisingly the rice turned out to be the unexpected star. It takes effort to make a simple rice dish standout like this. Light and fluffy, the flavor was borderline intense, for rice. It had a hearty undertone that I couldn't place, but I loved it. A lot. Nothing but rice... no corn, no peas, no nonsense, no kidding. The Chile Verde was outstanding. Probably one of the top three I've had in the area. Not sure if they slow cooked the pork with the sauce like is proper, but if I can't tell, then I'm not gonna care. The meat was properly shredded, tender and moist, and full of both meaty and saucy flavor. The beans were also really well done. Well colored (not gray), and with some noticable flavoring in the chile powder spectrum, I dipped chips into them until they were gone. Overall, nothing about my experience was less than great. My server was amenable enough, but didn't really engage in any interaction. No issues there, just a difference in styles, that didn't detract at all. With the queso and an iced tea, the bill was just over $22, and for what I got, I came away quite satisfied.

They have a robot going around the restaurant that comes up to your table and starts speaking. I was so uncomfortable and disappointed that this restaurant would bring such a horrible thing in. My food was cold because instead of having waiters and waitresses, they rely on a robot to do their job. My food wasn't fit to eat and I'm sure it was because it sat back in the kitchen for an absurd amount of time because they have a robot for an employee instead of real human beings. Shame on this restaurant. I'm so disappointed that they would literally have a robot instead of a human being & someone who needs a job in there to wait tables.

As we were seated, I noticed the table surface was wet. The staff member briefly attempted to dry it by fanning it with menus; he then drops the menus and silverware on the table, turns away to speak with another table, and left without addressing us further. At no point were we acknowledged, helped, or provided with basic courtesy. Due to this experience, we chose to leave the restaurant. As a first-time customer, I found this treatment disappointing and concerning. I would like clarification on whether this reflects your standard level of service. Or is it just your black customers that receive this type of service. I would appreciate your response regarding this matter. At present, based on this experience, I am hesitant to return or recommend your business.

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.

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.
