    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

We ended up at Scratch after trying to go to a nearby restaurant and it didn't work out. I called to see if we could be seated at Scratch without a wait and the person answering the phone was SO kind. Turns out he was the host. We were seated immediately and Madison F. took our drink and app order. The green chile hummus was OUTSTANDING although I would have liked some carrots or celery with the pita instead of the olives. Cosmopolitan and Old Fashioned were well mixed. The entrees? Holy cow. I had the coffee crusted pork tenderloin with Parmesan risotto and lemon Brussels sprouts. The pork tenderloin was the BEST I've ever had, hands down. The risotto was creamy and delish. Not a fan of the Brussels sprouts as they were too oily. Husband had the Creole seafood pasta and he ate every bite. We will absolutely be back.

The Scratch Hawaiian rolls are soft and pillowy, their tomato basil soup is great and their blackened catfish on top of risotto with charred Brussels sprouts are excellent. Exceptional and attentive service, and roomy plus stylish interior that may have been the historic Bell Telephone switch building. Definitely recommended!

However, the girl who "greeted" us when we walked in was nothing short of unpleasant. My cousin walked in and said "hi!" The host responded with  "how many?" laced with attitude. We responded with "eight" and she proceeds to just walk away and not say anything. Another girl comes over and asks if we've been helped and I said "i don't know she asked how many and then just walked away." The original girl walked over and said "I'm taking care of it." She then grabs the menus and walks over to our table and tells us to stay over by the door. We were confused but whatever, she then starts throwing the tables together and slamming things down on the tables. She finally tells us we can go over there and doesn't speak to us again. We later see her walk out the door. Hopefully that was her last shift because good grief. This happened 3-18-2026 around 4:45-5:00 so whoever was our host with the space bun hairstyle who looked at us like we had zebra prostate on our face, I hope you had a better day because your sour attitude nearly ruined ours. Food was amazing. Every aspect except for her was amazing!!!
