    Really enjoyed my meal here. The tacos were packed with flavor and the tortillas tasted homemade. I added some of their spicy sauce and it made them even better. Service was quick and everyone was super nice. Would absolutely recommend this spot for a casual lunch.

    The tacos were loaded with meat and super tasty. Everything tasted fresh and well made. Staff was welcoming and helpful. It is a cozy little place perfect for a casual meal. Would recommend it to friends.

    This is what is on the inside of a Taco Tico beef taco. There can't be a heaping teaspoon of meat. I read online that they are risking losing their lease on a the building as it is up for sale. Try better on your servings.

    Totally old school taco joint. As much as I'm in Claremore, I've never been. The drive thru is a bit convoluted but is still accessible. I can only speak to the drive thru service. It was fast and friendly. I ordered a burrito which was cheap but loaded with beans and cheese. I loved it. I do want to dine in and try some tacos soon. Don't be scared b/c it looks old. Live a little!

    Every time we are in Claremore we try and go to taco tico! The place is clean and so much better than your average fast food taco shop! The prices are unbeatable and the staff is always friendly! The food is always good and I never have any complaints. Unfortunately the picture I have the rice was a little darker and didn't taste the best but everyone is allowed to have an off day and it won't keep me from going back.

    Okay - I grew up in Rogers, Arkansas where we had a Taco Tico - it was the place. Fond memories and nostalgia blend with really good fast service food. I don't get out here often, but this may have been my 3rd visit over several years. My go to are the beef enchiladas and cinnamon sugar crustos. In my youth, standard orders were usually a taco burger, sancho, and the beef enchiladas. Their menu looks the same as it did 30 years ago. Their classics have just enough unique taste and differences than your other fast service options. Cinnamon sugar crustos are always a nice finish - or even the elusive choco taco ice cream treat! The restaurant is clean, has some nostalgic Route 66 memorabilia and themed decor. They have one of those fancy movie theater beverage dispensers. A salsa bar rounds out the detail to service. If you're in Claremore or grew up with Taco Tico - give this one a try as there are not many around us anymore. It will take you back to your memories and not disappoint.

    Look at all of that cinnamon and sugar

    Really good food. Enjoyed the service as well, was very quick and friendly. Will be eating here…read moreagain.

    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.

    Well, this was my first visit. I ordered two entrees to go. When i got home i noticed both entrees…read more, although they were shown to have beans, came with double rice . The server even specified the they had beans and rice they came with rice and rice. It would have been nice to inform me that there Mexican restaurant had no beans. Although no beans the order with hooottt sauce was good. Just thought after being told about the beans, should have beans. Hate to give a small restaurant a negative review I will probably return but will ask about what is included in entrees.

    It is a small restaurant located on the bad side of the tracks in an industrial area of Claremore…read more Inside, it is clean, brightly decorated and comfortably air conditioned. The owner was the entire staff this afternoon: cook, cashier and server. This lady can cook. The food is exceptionally delicious, flavorful traditional Mexican food. Chips and salsa started the meal. Very good mild, and salsa picante with heat and flavor. We ordered a small Guacamole. A perfect guacamole! Fresh avocado, chunks of tomato, onion and cilantro. A hint of the great food to come. My wife got Todays Special, 4 Barbacoa Tacos. It came with a consommé. A red, rich broth made from the braised beef and spiced to leave a flavor in your mouth that you will enjoy the rest of the afternoon. I had a Sope with Al Pastor. The lady said to be patient because she had to make the thick tortilla (corn cake) and fry it. A complete meal. A layer of beans, the tasty pork Al Pastor, lettuce, cheese, cilantro topped off with a squiggle of sour cream. Two wonderful plates of food. The food we had today was impressive. The best Mexican food that we have had in Claremore. Hop over the railroad tracks and try it!
