If you're looking for one of the best upscale Mexican restaurants in OKC, check out Tequila Chulos. They have an impressive selection of tequilas, and the bartender (Jenni or Jessi--sorry if I got the name wrong) was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. She made me an excellent margarita. But don't think the drinks are the only highlight--the food is just as good. I ordered the beef fajitas, and the steak was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor. The side dishes were delicious as well. If you're in OKC, this place is definitely worth a stop. read more

We went here with another couple and thankfully had a reservation. For me, the restaurant was very loud. It was busy and the music was also a bit loud. If it had just been my husband and I, we would have preferred the bar seating. The service was quick. I enjoyed my organico margarita. As far as food, my husband had the fajitas that had pork shoulder and pork belly. The flavor was nice but some of it was very fatty. As far as the rice and beans, he said they were cold. He wouldn't really eat much if they had been hot so he didn't bother to say anything. I had the tuna ceviche. Good flavor but probably more of an appetizer than a main course, which is my mistake. read more

Wow! I came to Tequila Chili's to meet an old friend and her daughter. The waiters were kind, professional and attentive. We did not have a reservation - but - they have bar seating ready available and we did not mind that. I recommend if you would mind or are planning a family outing to get a reservation in advance. It is worth it. I had the fish tacos and they were an absolute symphony! I really enjoyed the salsa and rice that accompanied them. The atmosphere was very lively as it was a Friday night. read more

Tequila Chulos - Shrimp Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Tequila Chulos is the most expensive and best beef n chicken fajita sizzling platter I've ever had the pleasure of eating. It was a little heavy on the onions and the accoutrement (rice, beans, cheese, lettuce) was a little light for my tortilla assembly. The elote was meh and messy. However, the queso blanco slapppsss so order this immediately when you are seated. The service was alright but it did take way to0 long for drinks to get out considering my fajitas arrive 3 mins after I ordered them. I mean let's be honest... this is a date spot if you are in the mood for fancy Mexican-American. My attention whore middle class fancy self had to indulge in the fajita's for the clout. read more

Went for lunch. Taco salad was bigger and better than I anticipated. The salsa was some of the best we've had in OKC. Good flavor with a bit of heat at the end...addictive! The salad was served in a big Taco shell. It was full of good stuff but the star was the tender meat. Rosie was a great server. I'll be back to try some other treats! read more

Tequila Chulos - CARNITAS ESTILO MICHOACAN. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This is a cute restaurant kind of tucked away off the busy street. As with any Mexican place, the chips and salsa arrived almost instantaneously. The salsa was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. We also ordered the gauc and the queso. Both were good, too. There are a lot of margaritas to choose from here. I went with the Organica. It was good but I would try another option next time. (You can also order a flight of margs.) I tried the carne asada tacos. The waitress warned me that they were spicy and they were. Just be aware. I would totally order them again. I liked how the tortilla had a bit of toasted cheese on it. The rice and beans were good too but honestly, I was so full of chips at this point and the tacos were so delicious, I just finished them. I would go back!! read more

Hello Tequila Chulos! I've ordered from here a few times to go, today I decided to visit this gem in person. The ambiance is nice, very big space music playing not too loud. We came as a party of two without a reservation on a Tuesday evening. We Was seated immediately! Our waitress Alexa, very pleasant and accommodating. I asked her which margarita would pair well with Don Julio Reposado. She recommended the Tamarind margarita! Very great selection I had an option to get the rim salted or tajin. Tamarind and Tajin sounded like a match made in heaven...... IT WAS! 10/10! Nowwwww be careful with ordering drinks, in our case they were more than the food. The food is good I've tried the tamales and enchiladas both 10/10 This is fine dinning of Hispanic food be ready to pay. read more

Mid tex-mex with a price tag is the only way to describe this restaurant. We went for dinner on Valentine's Day because (1) we love Mexican food (2) we were late to the game on reservations for other places and (3) we had not been here! I can confidently tell you we won't be going back. It's not that the food or drinks were bad. They were fine. But with the price of what we paid, "fine" is not worth it. We could tell tortillas were not handmade and the chips seemed they came from a Tostitos bag. Not impressed with the set up. We ordered the queso fundido to start which was very good. My husband had the birria tacos, which he seemed to like. I ordered the pollo asado, which I enjoyed also the beans and rice were not great. The ambiance was also fine but it was extremely loud. So much so, I could barely hear my husband speak and he was sitting right next to me. Lastly, our reservation was at 7. We were seated at 7 and were back in the car at 7:40. I have NEVER felt so rushed at a restaurant. I know Mexican food is usually fast, but this was almost alarmingly fast. Not to mention, we ordered a starter and drinks and were still out of there in record time. We felt like our server wanted us out of there, despite the place not being busy. I would pass on this place and go to a different locally owned joint. read more

Second time we thought we were going to TC by 4:30 to receive happy hour prices! We did not get happy hour prices either time! We ordered a margarita we didn't like so we asked to have it replaced with a different margarita! We were charged for both! The January special is nachos we ordered the meat was very sparse! We are highly disappointed! Probably will not be back! I'm disappointed because I really wanted to like TC! To be fair we did have a wonderful meal in October 2025 and loved it! read more

The soda machine wasn't working. I had tea. But they were understaffed and I had to go to the bar to get sweetener. Then the Chili Relleno they listed in the menu which was supposed to be made with fajita chicken came out with shredded chicken! Nasty! The beans and rice were good but I was very unimpressed! My wife had quesadillas but the weekend menu didn't offer them as a meal so rice was extra and no beans. read more

We tried this place for a second time yesterday and it absolutely did not disappoint. We sat at the bar and our bartender was very attentive and friendly. The vibe is cool, casual but modern and a little upscale. My husband and I just moved back home from being in TX and we have been searching for any TexMex food that can remotely hold up to what we're use to getting in TX and I'm happy to say we finally found it. The carnitas and pork belly were incredible, definitely a new favorite. I also enjoyed the house salad, chicken is flavorful and seasoned well and the dish as a whole is just a really simple but nice balance of flavor and textures. This will be a go to for us for sure. read more

Lindsey, the bartender is committed to customer service. As a fellow bartender myself, I look out for stellar service, and she has it down pat. Smiles, any questions answered, and timeliness was amazing across the board. The enchiladas I had were filling and delicious, and I'm hoping I can stop by again to try other menu items. Great assortment of tequilas, obviously! The space was large, clean, and very cute!! Well done all around :) read more

Tequila Chulos is where the seafood Shack used to be near Nichols Hills. I'd heard about it and decided to give it a try on a Saturday. Place wasn't too crowded though there was a pretty steady stream of customers, mostly couples. We noticed that almost every table ordered either queso, queso fundido or the salsa flight. We did not though as we really wouldn't have finished any of them. The complimentary salsa that came to the table was delicious and the chips were definitely fresh. The menu is a nice manageable size without a lot of fluff. Pretty straightforward Mexican classics as well as a few chef creations. The price point is definitely higher than most Mexican restaurants in the city but the food quality and ambience supports the extra expense. We ordered steak chimichanga and beef enchiladas and we both enjoyed our food. I cannot say with any certainty how soon we will return only because there are so many options for Mexican food in the metro area. And very few are this expensive. The appetizers all cost over $10 and the margaritas are $14 and up. They do have an extensive list of tequilas and other liquors but I just don't think $100 for a couple's late lunch is necessary. That said, it's definitely worth a try. Food and service were good. read more

I wanted to update my review since I did go back recently after my first visit, and still had a similar experience. However, after reading others reviews I just wanted to school some on the "spicy" note. To those that mentioned the spicy salsa had no extra flavor.. Spicy is not a flavor. It is a pain sensation caused by the chemical compound capsaicin. It releases endorphins and adrenaline which can give a person a spicy, "high" that's why it's so addictive for some like myself and others that enjoy spicy foods. So, don't ever expect a pepper to add much flavor to a dish especially a habanero pepper haha, because it's not a flavor note, it's a pain sensation. read more

Way too loud in here and the food is meh. Loud music playing and every five minutes the serving crew comes out yelling happy bday or shot shot shot with led flashlights. You can't even hear yourself talk. Its like going to a club that serves decent bar food. Not what I would describe as upscale at all. read more

I'm not going to lie, I was real skeptical that I would even enjoy Tequila Chulos because being married to my Mexican hubby, we really only focus on authentic. Luckily, I got to try them out for a girls night! MAKE SURE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS! Being a newer restaurant, they were PACKED. The place gives great vibes. The decor and size really complement well. One thing I didn't like is that the room we were in, it's LOUD. So don't think this will be a quiet intimate dinner. The service was okay. I get it, it's a newer restaurant so there's going to be lag for service. So expect slower service for sure. But another detractor was when some of my friends ordered a drink, they knew from looking at photos which one they were going to get (aesthetics and all froufrou) and got a ceramic cup. Fine, they still got their drink but presentation is a huge thing especially when you have expectations from seeing pictures online and an asking price of $14 for a cocktail. Adding to that, I had ordered a drink that included mint (which made a difference in taste might I add). I got my drink, it didn't have it, so I told the waitress. She brought out a sprig of mint lol I mean I guess I got my mint? The food actually is where I was actually pleasantly surprised. I personally had the chimichanga with the recommendation of the sour cream sauce. Is it authentic? No. But that's where the chef skills come to play. The flavors and textures are very well thought out. Tons of flavor and just so delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food! If you LOVE spicy, and I mean you actually like true spicy hot, burn your taste buds, definitely ask for the spicy salsa. Definitely would go back once the kinks are out for a newer restaurant and it gets a little calmer from being a new hot spot. Would have given less stars because of it just being so loud and hard to enjoy a conversation and the kinks of being new for service and expectations but giving a 5/5 truly for food! read more

This restaurant is beautiful. It is a great place to hang out with friends. We got our chips with salsa very fast, they have mild and spicy. Great service and serving fast. The food is good quality Tex-Mex, the steak fajitas is with a good quality and decent amount of meat and lots of veggies. We also have red snapper, grilled to perfection, good amount of grilled vegetables not from frozen package. However, the price is slightly high imo for the quality of food, possibly we are paying for the beautiful decorations. Service:10/10 Food: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 Price: 7/10 read more

The restaurant recently opened and it went better than I expected. Our server Braeden was amazing. Probably one of the best we had lately. She knew what she was doing and took care of our orders well, making sure they would arrive promptly. I had the birria tacos and they were fantastic. The consomme was excellent- rich and beefy. The tacos hold together well, flavorful with a nice crunch, and not oily. I can't believe I'm saying this but it's probably one of the best birria tacos I've had lately. Great chips and queso. We got to try the spicy salsa but it wasn't flavorful just spicy. Cocktails were okay since most of them were water-down. Our server gave us a complimentary dessert because she felt we waited a bit for our orders but honestly, we didn't wait that long haha. That was very sweet of her. read more

Apparently, this is the new hotspot in OKC because it was bustling the entire time we were there on a Saturday night. When we arrived, we were asked if we had reservations, which we didn't, but luckily the four of us managed to snag seats at the bar. The food is more on the fancy Mexican side, so if you're after authentic cuisine, this might not be the spot. I had the asada tacos--they were good, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Our group also tried the fajitas, chimichanga, and ceviche. The ceviche was tasty, the chimichanga had a unique flavor (my friend ended up removing some toppings), and the fajitas were good. The atmosphere and decor were fantastic, though it did get quite loud. I'd be keen to return, try the patio, and perhaps just stick to appetizers. read more

Beautiful restaurant that has a patio for warmer months that can be opened up. Food is delicious. It's a James Vu concept and the tuna ceviche is similar to La Brasa (which I looove) but has a unique spin of chipotle on it which gives it a bit of spice. Birria and carne asada tacos are both !

A Hidden Gem of Flavor and Hospitality! From the moment we walked into Tequila Chulos, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of modern elegance and cozy charm. The staff welcomed us with genuine smiles, making us feel like family from the start.

Pairing these with their handcrafted frozen sangrias was a game-changer--was smooth, and refreshing. The main course did not disappoint. Every dish was cooked to perfection, bursting with fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The presentation was stunning, and you could taste the passion in every bite.
