Still love Ted's! I come for the tortillas and saw they had a new menu item which was the Mexican pizza.... you need to try it! The only thing I never seem to love is their salsa. read more

If you want great Mexican food with handmade fresh tortillas this is your place. Free chip and salsa plus tortillas with queso; they have great queso. We've never had bad service at the Tulsa Hills location. We got there right about 5:00 before the crowd and it wasn't noisy like it can be when they get busy. Try their Tres Leche cake if you get a change; great ending to a great meal. read more

We came here to eat after my brother's football game. This Ted's was everything we were hopping for! The food was awesome. I loved their burritos and their tacos. I honestly ate way too much. Also, they had awesome chips and queso! I thought the salsa was just decent though. Another thing I have to add is their service; it was great! Our waiter, Stephanie, was so kind and helpful. She should definitely get a pay raise. The last thing I want to add is the inside was clean (including the bathrooms). Good ambiance too. I will definitely come back to eat here sometime and I suggest you come here too. read more

I placed a pickup order from Ted's Café Escondido in Tulsa Hills today. I ordered two tamales (one beef and one pork) with rice, beans, chili sauce, and queso on top, along with two street tacos that came with beans, rice, chips, salsa, and queso. Here's how everything rated for me: * Tamales - 3/10 * Street tacos - 6/10 * Queso - 2/10 * Salsa - 8/10 It's been a long time since I've eaten at Ted's. I used to go to the Broken Arrow location regularly, and the food was always amazing. Unfortunately, this visit was nothing like what I remember. The flavors just weren't there, and the quality didn't match what I've always known Ted's for. Honestly, the chips were the best part of the meal. I hope things improve, because I've always enjoyed Ted's in the past. read more

This is my third time eating here since they opened. I thought I'd give it another try to see whether the food quality had improved. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing -- their Spanish rice resembles something one might feed to a dog, and it raises concerns about how the food is being prepared in the kitchen. Their queso and salsa are very watered down. Food - No good Service - Excellent read more

We visited around 6:50 PM as a party of four, and unfortunately the experience was not what we've come to expect. Our server came across as very unpleasant from the start--she placed items on the table in a rushed and aggressive way (even sliding the salsa to the point it nearly knocked things over), and overall seemed bothered to be waiting on us. The food was also disappointing. We ordered two Monterey Chicken dishes, one steak fajita, and one shredded beef chimichanga. The Monterey Chicken in particular was not edible--it tasted as if it had been microwaved just to melt the cheese, and the overall flavor was very bland. The rest of the meals were also underwhelming and lacked flavor. Additionally, our server never came back to check on us after the food was delivered, so we didn't have an opportunity to address any of this during the visit. We've dined at this location before and had much better experiences, which is why this visit stood out. I wanted to share this feedback in hopes that it can be addressed. read more

Fun atmosphere, great food, fair prices. We came with a crowd and were very pleased with the service.

My wife and I stopped at Ted's for a late lunch around 2:00 The restaurant was not very busy at that time of day. So we had no trouble being seated. We were promptly provided the complimentary chips, salsa and cheese sauce. Our waiter brought our drinks along with complimentary flour tortillas, atomic hot sauce and relish and took our order. My wife ordered a beef taco. I ordered a beef and a cheese enchilada with refried beans and fried rice. A person other than our server brought our meals. He was friendly and professional. Our lunch was good. There were a couple of issues resulting in four stars. We did not see our waiter until time to pay our check. Needless to say our drinks had no refills until the waiter brought the check and brought our complimentary sopapillas read more

I have gone to Tedd's for over 10 years. And I have always loved the atmosphere , the tortillas and had great service. However, this last time I was there made me not want to go back because the food was unfortunately bland. MSA that the servers and the kitchen staff worked very hard for us so I have to give them five stars there. read more

Good food and service. I had not been for several years and glad I went back, still as good as I remember it.

This is by far the worst popular restaurant in tulsa I have been there twice in the last few months my teens love ot I dont see why its great in the 2 times I've been it was the worst 1st time found hair in my tea not my food my tea .second time no hair but my waiter never checked on us and gave me chicken when I ordered steak and payed for steak I dont like to give bad reviews but hey Google asked and I thought why not . read more

I loved every bite of the enchilada sampler. My favorite was the beef enchilada. It was chunks of tender, flavorful beef--not ground (and to be honest, beef is usually my least favorite). My second favorite was the cheese enchilada. And then the chicken was good but not quite as awesome as the other two, but still good. The corn was EXCELLENT! And the rice was good too. And the sopapilla was the perfect ending. Nice waitress and good ambiance. read more

The hosts was unbelievably rude, and was absolutely clueless about everything. The waitress was pretty good but that host ruined it. read more

Food bargain is awesome here. You get all the free tortillas, chips, beans and even sopapillas for desert as long as you buy an entree. We were stuffed! It's a Tex max kind of place (not super authentic). Service is almost overly attentive for my liking but was good. read more

We really liked this place! Ate here with the family, and all of us agreed. We would definitely come back again. My hubby and I both had the homemade pork tamales and they were DELICIOUS. Guacamole was good too. Great Perfect Margaritas. Free cafe-made tortillas. Free chips, queso, and sopapillas. So much value for the price. If you're craving quick Mexican food - give this place a try! read more

Worst TexMex I've ever had. Drinks were good, service was good. Food was terrible. Bland queso, average tortillas, below average enchiladas. Tried it once, will never return. read more

Love love love Ted's! The service is always amazing and the food is always fresh! The ambiance is typical Mexican restaurant, fun and lively. But with your chips and mild salsa comes queso and FRESH tortillas and spicy salsa. Ted's also offers Sopapillas after your meal! Everything is yummy! Definitely recommend read more

There was an average amount of people in the restaurant. We were seated members of my party said it was ok, they got a burrito dish , beef enchilada and nachos,soppapilla were the highlight of the meal read more

Tonight, I got a to-go order or steak quesadillas for dinner, and it was delicious. Very flavorful, wonderfully cheesy. It comes with sour cream, pico, and guac (i think) on the side, but I didn't want any of that. My only issue was the steak and tortilla were a little dry and it was slightly difficult to tear apart. That said, I could easily eat it without a beverage. I will definitely eat here again. 9/10. read more

We had great hopes going to Ted's. The experience started off and ended well, it was the food in the middle that didn't impress. They brought out "the setup", which is chips, warm flour tortillas with cheese sauce and salsa. The setup comes free with an entree. The manager heard it was our first time so she came over with some complementary guacamole. All of this was excellent. I wanted a beer on draft and they didn't have Modelo, so I settled for Pacifico. The waitress asked me if I wanted it "Ted's Way" which apparently is with salt like a margarita. NO, just in a glass. I got it in a margarita glass that made it hard to drink. There is a reason beer comes in a mug or a beer glass. A huge margarita glass almost takes two hands to drink. She asked if I wanted a straw... Again, NO to drinking beer through a straw. We ordered nachos and the classic Mexican dinner. The nachos were sad, just chips and cheese on a plate with some ground beef sprinkled on it. It looked like something a child had made. The Mexican dinner was pretty tasteless and not enjoyable. We dumped the "free" cheese sauce and salsa on them to give them taste. I asked for some sour cream to help my dish along and was given a dollop on a plate for a "small up charge" that turned out to be $2.49. We had also ordered a margarita and it was so sour it was not easy to drink. We left 75% of it behind. We are new to the area and are checking out several restaurants to get our core favorites down. We have no need to return to Ted's. There are too many others that are good. They did end the dinner strong with a complementary desert, a nice sweet dough with honey. So if you try Ted's, stay away from the nachos and maybe you will have a better experience, just don't ask for some more sour cream unless you have an extra $2.50! read more

Food is always good! Salsa, queso, and tortillas are the best part! Service is fast and the servers make sure your giant cups stay full.

We were really disappointed in the quality of the food this evening. We always raved about Ted's chips but tonight they were chewy and greasy. This has been our go to place when we are at Tulsa Hills but will be rethinking that now read more

We freaking love Ted's, always a good time! The atomic salsa tacos are SO GOOD! And the queso/salsa/fresh tortillas = wonderful starter!

We were passing thru Tulsa and decided to have dinner here. The service was second to none. Kristie is the best server. Food was great. Next time we are passing thru we will definitely stop here Thank you for a wonderful experience read more

I haven't been there in a while. They used to be great, but I just felt this time. The food was lacking. The service was slow. I just wasn't as impressed as I was a couple years ago. read more

This was my first time visiting Ted's. It will be my last. I can't believe people are eating here on a regular basis. My "nachos" were sopping wet and the chicken was cubed and just looked old and dry. My boyfriend had the wrap and said the chicken tasted like mystery meat. He literally couldn't even finish half of it because he was grossed out. The ONLY saving grace were the tortillas and the sopaipillas (which are free). Fortunately the service was decent but that can NEVER make up for the food being this nasty. I am honestly mad that I spent money to eat here. read more

It's been awhile since we ate Ted's (in store or to go) so decided to try tonight. They have went way downhill. Where fajitas used to be plenteous in meat there was almost not enough in the double portion for a single (almost thought they had made it wrong but nope). Packaging was horrific with meat falling through styrofoam container due to no lining. Ted's used to be our 'go-to' but for the high price we will go back to passing it over. Taste is ok...but again not like it used to be unfortunately. read more

great food! great staff! Had a great experience with the atmosphere! Live Teds, will definitely come back again!

Great food and service! The warm tortillas with cheese and perfect salsa always fill us up before the entrees arrive but the left overs are just as tasty! Save room for the warm sopapilla! Always great food and great service. Wish they would franchise to our home state! read more

Service was great! Salsas and relish with fresh tortillas are amazing ! Then it went way down hill. Jalapeño sausage enchiladas were lacking in flavor, and for the price revealed that nothing is "complimentary." Two tortilla Lola's with a chopped up sausage and crappy cheese sauce! If you're going to Ted's just pay $8 for the set up. Then get good Mexican food at one of the many Mom snd Pop shops in Tulsa. I feel like this every time we eat there. read more

Ted's has quickly become a "go-to" spot for my wife and I. We've been in midtown Tulsa for AWHILE, and have recently began to slowly relocate south of town. Now, Tulsa Hills is convenient for us to come to town and get some errands done. With that in mind, we try to hit good spots for meals when shopping, etc. my wife has been a fan of Ted's for quite awhile, and she knows I'm pretty picky when it comes Mexican or Tex-Mex food. I'm pretty partial to my favorite taco truck in town (21st, East of Sheridan), but I was all in on this lun special once the plate was set in front of me. I ordered the lunch special, two crispy corn taco shells filled with pork, lettuce, tomato, and cheese served with rice and beans. My wife ordered the lunch special with two tostadas topped with marinaded fajita chicken, lettuce, tomato, and cheese, rice and beans as well. First off, the food was on point! Each item was done so well. And while I was a bit skeptical since these tacos were a step away from my usual street taco fix, the quality won me over in an instant. The rice and beans were a hot with me for sure. My wife said her tostadas were done well, and her lunch as a whole hit the spot. While this wasn't our first trip to Ted's, it was definitely worth reviewing. To add to this meal, Ted's starts you off with chips, salsa, and queso! Yeah, you read that right... FREE QUESO!!!!!!!! It's not bad quest either. I ended up drizzling some of it over each of my tacos, and I wasn't mad about it at all! Honestly, one of the best 0arts of this lunch visit was out server, Aniyah. Personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and one SUPERB server. Just this aspect was a HUGE "win," because a server and their ability to do their job well (or not) can totally make or break a dining experience out. Aniyah totally kills it and is absolutely fantastic at her job. So there it is. If y'all are in the mood for some net level Tex-Mex, then you can't go wrong pulling into Ted's. Be sure to tell 'em Shiner sent ya. They wont give ya anything or discount your meal, but it'd just be cool if you told them that. - Shiner read more

Stopped in late last night about 30 minutes until they closed. However we were treated extremely well. The drinks and the food were great. We had a make your own bowl and "platter" nachos. Both excellent. Warm tortillas were brought out as well as complimentary sopapillia (sp). Our server did an excellent job. I highly recommend. read more

We loved our food. The fresh flour tortillas were excellent. My husband had combination fajitas and I had the Escondido Special. The ground beef in my taco and tamale was some of the best seasoned I've had. We had more than enough to eat and it was delicious. Wait staff was on the ball and very kind. Quick food delivery. And to go margaritas. The murals on the walls were really nice. read more

Starters over the top! Get your own everything with a home made flour tortillas! All the spicy stuff you can eat. Order the grilled onions and jalapeños! Sweet Mother of Jesus they are delicious and FREE! Wife loves the huge taco. Meat spicy like she likes it. She had street tacos before and enjoyed them. Me: I'm a serious chili relleno ( misspelled) fan. They have one of the top five in Tulsa. I've had pork, beef and chicken in each of mine. All delicious! Service top shelf. Did have a 'Rita so can't go there. Teds has become one of our quick go to places! Chili Relleno delicious. read more

Very nice staff. And the food is top quality. I highly recommend eating at Teds our server David did a great job. Friendly the sangria Margaritas are very good. Overall great experience! read more

I wanted to make a proper update to my review, because looking at my old review, it seems a bit harsh, and I want to make up for it now. My husband and I had actually went to Buffalo Wild Wings in Tulsa Hills and were ignored for 15 minutes. We walked out, by that point, we were "hangry", so we decided to pop into Ted's and give them another try. We were greeted by a super nice male host, and escorted to a table. Our server was super kind, and as soon as we sat, we were met with fresh chips, salsa, and queso. In my older review, I had mentioned that it was a flour bomb. You could tell it was fresh, but it tasted more of flour than it did of cheese. NOT this time. It was perfectly smooth, and tasted of fresh cheddar and seasonings. We were also asked if we wanted some house-made tortillas, and being we were so hungry, we gratefully accepted them. Oh my gosh, those are SO good! Hot and fresh, a little thicker than tortillas you're used to buying, and I liked dipping them in the cheese. It was a hearty appetizer, for sure! We were offered a few other salsa choices, but I declined those, because their "house" salsa (I would call it, the one they serve as default) was so bright and fresh, that I didn't want any other salsas destroying the taste of that one on my palette. haha Our meals were fantastic, and large. We had to get to-go boxes for what was left. All through the meal, we were frequently checked up on, and beverages topped off. It was such a great experience, a few days later, when mom and dad were hungry, I suggested Ted's. They said, "Okay, let's see." Both mom and dad were very satisfied with their meals, and they also agreed that dipping the tortillas in the cheese sauce was a very tasty snack. I don't know if any management changes happened since my first few visits or what...but it is definitely on point now, and is a new favorite. Great Job! read more
