    This is the best Mexican food in Okemah! I love coming here! I get a combination plate every time!…read moreMy friends and I love this place!!! Great authentic rice and beans! Enchiladas, tacos, and breakfasts! Good margaritas and very cold beer. Free dessert.

    If you eat a lot of Mexican food, don't eat here you will be disappointed. You're not going to like…read moreit. End of review. ................................................................. Spike's Inessential Scholarly Discourse: This is authentic Mexican food. So, don't go there. Everyone working in the restaurant is Hispanic, from the dishwasher to the owner. Their recipes for "their version of traditional Mexican food" didn't come from a Betty Crocker cook book. What is that white sauce served with the salsa and chips here? I have encountered the same at several other small-town Mexican restaurants. No, it is NOT queso. It has no cheese taste. Here is the best description I can come up with; have you ever opened a can of Campbell's cream of chicken soup. That is what this stuff looks like; concentrated cream of chicken soup. It is a thick gelatinous, semi translucent liquid. It tastes almost like cream of chicken concentrate. When I have run across it in other restaurants, I have been mistakenly calling it bad watery queso. It has no resemblance to queso other than color. It is most commonly served in these traditional style restaurants. It does nothing for the meal other than make you wonder what you are eating. What is it??? As I usually do, I asked for salsa picante. Pepino's was a very different version. It was a warm bowl of tomatoes, with onions and smokey jalapenos simmered to a thick chunky stew. Very little heat or spice. Disappointing. The relleno I had was authentic and traditional, a poblano filled with lightly seasoned ground beef cooked on the flat top in a puddle of egg, then rolled up with the egg like a blanket. I am not a big fan of this traditional style relleno. My meal also came with diced potatoes grilled with onions and green peppers. Different. The tamales my wife had were good. The beef was lightly seasoned. The tamales weren't just big logs of masa with a small amount of filling. There was plenty of beef in them. Conclusion. Pepino's is not recommended.

    Ate at Gringo's (Sinaloa Grill on the receipt) during our summer 2025 trip to the Gunnison, CO…read morearea. Montrose, CO is a kicking town - lots of traffic, people on the move, it was a pretty warm day in early July. This cafe is downtown right off the main drag with a corner location. At the time of our visit there was quite a bit of street and sidewalk renovation going on. Reviews sounded pretty good for the place, so we parked and walked on over. Greeted and told to sit anywhere. The lunch crowd was coming in and the place was starting to fill up with what looked to be workers from local businesses as well as family groups and friends meeting up. We placed our orders and sat around watching the people and talking. Husband ordered a quesadilla, and I ordered a torta. i must admit the torta was smaller than i expected and I could tell the waitress thought i'd made a mistake by not ordering more for lunch ... i agreed at first. I ate the torta, there was pico de gallo and such to go along with it. The husband passed me a slice of his quesadilla (it was good) and surprisingly it was all enough. Nice. Went to the bathroom (there's 2) and it was clean and nice sized. Paid the bill, walked on out.

    DUDE!!! This place is LEGIT Mexican food. Like right off a taco truck in San Diego legit. Excellent…read morered and green sauces. We all tried something different and everything was great. By far the best I have had in a long time. It will always be our new stop on the way between Fort Smith and DFW. I don't even leave reviews on things like this but I was just super excited to finally find something worth eating in McAlester (and open on a Sunday evening no less!). PS. My son had the Al Pastor tacos and said it was the best Al Pastor he has ever had.

I didn't order them being drowned in queso & soggy icky goo! I ordered them fried & crispy as stated on the menu! Y'all just lost a loyal customer of many years that eats there at least once a week, as I won't be back after the way I was treated by management & them wanting to argue with me! So unprofessional!!!

The ambience of the restaurant was super cool and it had a bunch of fun murals everywhere as well as a themed bathroom. To start off most of us got Carne Asada tacos with a side of refried beans and rice. they were good and paired well with the chips and salsa. I decided to get the quesabirria tacos with a side of consomé and it was okay. It kind of tasted plain and didn't have as much teas in it as I would like as well as cilantro and onions. The consomé was good, but the actual birria meat of the taco tasted plain. It was nothing to write home about, especially since we come from Az. I'd definitely get something else if we came back but everybody else enjoyed their meals. It was definitely an okay Mexican spot, the service and ambiance of the restaurant make up for it.
