Ambiance is fabulous! 10/10 for decor, cleanliness, and friendliness of staff. They give you complimentary chips and salsa, queso is an extra charge from $7-10 depending on size. I didn't get a margarita but the ones I saw looked amazing! Definitely will be trying one soon. The flautas were great. Nice and crispy. Their rice is some of the best I've had in a LONG time! Very flavorful! Overall we look forward to having a New Mexican restaurant on this side of town and will be back again soon!

1942 burritos
Anh L.

We ventured into 1942 on a weeknight and were excited to try this new Mexican spot. The staff were very welcoming upon arrival, and it seemed that one of our servers may still be in training, but the service was still on point. We started wit the complimentary chips and salsa which came with a red salsa and a white dip. Both were yummy! My partner had the 1942 burritos with salsa verde, and I had the El trio which had chicken, steak, and shrimp with mozz and queso sauce over a bed of rice. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge! The place is very casual and clean, too!

Aguachiles verdes y enchiladas poblanos

Cucumber margarita 10/10. Aguachiles verdes 10/10 wish the portion was bigger but overall was great. Enchiladas poblanos were pretty great too. Chips and salsa that comes out to the tables were good but the white sauce was weird, I did not like it. Huge drink and food menu. Food came out in 10 minutes. I also ordered the chimi cheesecake and that was surprisingly delicious and not too sweet.

1942 sampler and ranch dressing for the chips.

Our waitress was nice enough, although she didn't understand the difference between soda water and mineral water and too Chico was not what I wanted. The whole ranch dressing and chunky ketsup they call salsa are a no go for me. The food was colorless and blan, felt like it was a very unhealthy kids meal. Don't get the tamales, yuck. I'm usually pretty forgiving and I don't complain, but I wanted to shout at the couple walking in, don't do it! I can't find a silver lining... I thought the verde sauce would help the situation, but the video shows how that went down.

Run, don't walk to 1942T&T. Get started with a house margarita and order the chicken and steak fajitas for two. The steak is so tender that it'll be your favorite in all of Norman. They have a nicely stocked bar and the staff is friendly and helpful. Norman gets another gem!

Margarita sampler
Lori M.

We came for Mother's Day lunch and definitely weren't disappointed! Great service, great lunch prices, and great food! The margarita sampler was a nice option to try different flavors. The tacos and quesadilla were delicious. I also loved the salsa. We will be back!

Definitely one of the better Mexican food places around. Drinks and food are on point!! Even my picky wife loved it.

Margaritas
Andrea W.

We came here on a Thursday morning when El Huevo (1.5 miles away) was insanely busy and not worth the crowd. 1942 was empty. We had four different people approach our table for chips, salsa, drink order, etc. It took a long time to get our food and drinks. The food is very reasonably priced. The drinks are way more expensive and not worth the money. I asked for a spicy margarita, which seemed to confuse the staff. The margarita was SO sweet with chopped jalapeños. Not muddled. Not jalapeño liquor. And it tasted like straight simple syrup. No salt on the rim or anything. Just a crappy margarita, honestly. My partner's margarita was also lackluster. They rimmed it with tajin without asking or offering anything else. I like tajin and would've been happy to have flavor in my drink. My idea of a good margarita is tart and a bit strong. Neither of our drinks had any tartness or good flavor. I ordered the chile rellonos a la carte. Those were good, maybe a touuuuch heavy on the cheese sauce. And great guacamole and good salsa. Our ticket for two drinks and two meals was $75.00 including tax and tip. Not worth that amount of money and we most likely will not back. Unless drunk recipes change and they hire staff a little more knowledgeable and efficient.

Good food and service. Not your typical Mexican food we were used to. Sauces are unique. Margaritas are good. Salsa is mild.

Odd place everything is extra and odd cheese sauce. It didn't feel welcoming, more like Mexican food meets biker gang.

Went there for burgers again last night second time they do not disappoint a good size juicy burger…read morewith ample toppings! Also had an Elvis shake, it was good, but I thought the bacon was a little crispy. Otherwise I enjoyed this place to try. You'll like it. They get great service and a good ambience.

So we recently traveled from Austin, Texas to Norman to visit some family. We got in around noon…read moreand we're starving. My father recommended this burger joint around the corner from his house. This place did not disappoint right out the gate.! Wait time at the front door was a little longer than typical but nothing you shouldn't be used to when going in at lunchtime. If you're mad, you have to wait you might wanna go somewhere else.. Anyway, I digress as we sit down I take a long look around and check everything out. Poor little spot or TVs everywhere. Good beer selection or great for that matter. The cocktail menu is just as epic but let me tell you right now. You're gonna wanna start your day with the fried deviled eggs and they shaved fried pickles. I know the shaved part probably throws you off but when I tell you right now, these were the best fried pickles over ever had.... As we move onto the burgers, my wife keeps it simplistic with getting your now when I say basic bacon cheeseburger that's selling it short it was fantastic seasoned and cooked perfectly! I decided I wanted to step on my game and try the heat wave. This burger was epic, super hot and everything. I wanted it to be.!! I got the onion rings for the side we also had a side of mac & cheese for our 15 month old. Both of them were fantastic. The onion rings were crispy and seasoned, and the mac & cheese was just as epic... I appreciate the excellent service as well as the recommendations we are so glad we got to experience this place. We love a great burger joint and that's definitely made a great trip. Thanks for a great afternoon.

We've come to Norman, Oklahoma two years in a row for work, and we've eaten at Pub W both times…read more This visit was just as great as I remembered, if not better! Our service and meal were absolutely fantastic. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she took care of our group of about 12 in the back room and was on top of everything all night. She was so kind, patient, and willing to repeat things when needed, which is huge when you have that many people trying to get attention at once. She even thanked us for coming in, which was such a sweet touch. The food was amazing. She accidentally brought out an extra side of squash puppies and let us keep them, so I tried them even though I hadn't ordered them. Let me tell you, you HAVE to order them. They were absolutely divine, and the butter and jam they come with are incredible. I started with a salad, which was also very good, and then ordered the chicken bruschetta based on our server's recommendation. The Brussels sprouts were insane, so flavorful and easily one of my favorite parts of the meal. The bruschetta was delicious too, and I ended up eating almost all of it. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would recommend Pub W to anyone. The back room was the perfect spot for our large group and had such a fun, relaxed vibe. We'll definitely be back the next time work brings us to Norman!

Service was incredible. Hat-tip to Emily E., she was on point…read more One problem we had was a large corner booth of 6, obviously over-served men were dropping F-Bombs, laughing and talking really loudly, in attempts to ensure that each respective story was heard. Okay in a bar, but not in a dining room with multiple children within earshot. Food was great, drinks on point and service stellar.

This place was great! We were looking for a place to eat near our hotel!…read more Food - we got the queso dip with chips, the sirloin and the chicken piccata- everything was delicious, and courses/paced really well. Staff- our host was lovely and sweet I wish I knew her name to shout her out (brown hair, light eyes). Our server was Preston. He was the perfect mix of extremely knowledgeable of menu, kind, personable/friendly, attentive, focused, and professional. Highly recommended:)

Charleston's has always been a go to restaurant for my family and me. Even when my kids were small…read morewe knew if we went to Charleston's we would always have a great meal. Well 98% of the time anyway. We all have our off nights. This time was no exception. The food was outstanding. The steaks were cooked to perfection. I had the 10oz filet medium rare. Perfect warm red center. My son-in-law had the plain ribeye no Hawaiian seasoning, baked potato and Caesar salad. His steak was also cooked to perfection. My garlic mashed potatoes and glazed carrots were delicious and perfect temperature. I can't say enough about their carrots! So everything seemed perfect right? Well almost..... The waitress Aiden and another waitress that was not mine were camped out at a table next to mine and seemed more interested in that table than the rest of their tables. I do not know how they knew this table but they must have been very interesting. I consider myself a generous tipper if the waitress does her job and I only tip in cash. Even though I felt that the waitress was "distracted " I still left her the industry standard 20%. It could have been more! Overall grade "A-". Again being a little generous. The food saved you this time!
