Sometimes you can almost taste the pictures. If your favorite Mexican restaurant doesn't serve you with a plate of food that looks like the pictures I posted, you need to find a new Mexican restaurant. This food was amazing! This jewel of a Mexican restaurant is in a modest little repurposed building about a mile west of downtown Sallisaw, on Highway 64. It is easy access from I-40 to the best Mexican food between Shawnee and Ft Smith. The menu is similar to your typical OkieMex, but served up a little classier. Who doesn't love an attractive plate of food with a pyramid shaped stack of rice, bright colorful sauces and fresh flavors? Great salsas, and warm chips. Fresh like they were fried in the restaurant. The corn tortillas used in the enchiladas were of the same quality. I had the Enchiladas Habaneras. Corn tortillas stuffed with shredded chicken and covered with a delicious and unusual habanero sauce. Wow, you have to try this! Perfect refried beans. My wife had the Pork Enchiladas Verdes. Carnitas in corn tortillas covered in fresh salsa verde. Charro beans and a rice pyramid on the side. This is a clean, comfortable little small-town restaurant. The server was an exceptionally friendly young man, who wore a constant ear-to-ear smile, just like Cantinflas himself.

Good food but lately within the last 6 months , I had one server rude and didn't feel like he wanted to be there , like he was annoyed when my friend asked him about the taco salad .. also the one in sallisaw seems to be closed a lot and seem to be more at the ten killer location .. just don't forget about the one in sallisaw because. Know a lot of people like this restaurant.

Not impressed with the food, just okay. Chips were served cold and were on the hard side. Chicken chimichanga meal did not come with a little salad, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything could be ordered for an extra charge, which was a bit disappointing. The shredded chicken in the chimichanga was very dry, and there was hardly any cheese sauce on top. The rice was kind of plain. The Hawaiian fajita (with chicken, beef, shrimp) was ok. The pineapple on top was straight out of a can, and they seemed to have poured the pineapple juice from the can on top it, which gave it a very bad taste). The vegetables were definitely undercooked, and none of it was browned enough. The only thing we really enjoyed was the large side of guacamole. We will not be back. Prefer other Mexican restaurants much more. Place was also lacking decorations and atmosphere. Waitress was very nice though.

Complimentary chips and salsa

Beat Mexican food in Sallisaw. And you can't beat the service. We've never had a bad meal here.

Have stopped here twice now. The first time was a little chaotic with my 2 oldest kids. We waited…read moreforever for our food to come out and was a little disappointed but the food was phenomenal! I decided to stop in for breakfast this week and let me tell you that they made up for it and then some with the great service! Only complaint was they brought our A1 sauce! Lol. Never need that on a well cooked steak! This place will definitely be one of my go to spots whenever I'm in town for one of the houses we are building for a client in the area! I absolutely love the interior look of this place with the old brick being exposed and the wood paneling everywhere! This is a great place you'll need to try out for breakfast lunch or supper! I've now had the chicken fried steak which was great and the steak and eggs for breakfast which was even better! The biscuits are huge and taste great with their gravy they make! Bacon was crispy! Hashbrowns cooked to perfection! Steak Rare exactly how I asked! Eggs were perfect! If you're looking to fill your belly then look no further! Stop in and get you a bite to eat!

I was working late Monday evening so decided to place an order, to go, for dinner. The waitress who…read moretook my order over the phone and took my payment was very kind, with a good attitude, and answered the phone in a timely manner. There were a few families enjoying dinner in the restaurant. The atmosphere was clean and pleasant. I ordered the fried chicken dinner with grilled mushrooms and a loaded baked potato. The chicken was a square piece of white meat chicken with no bone. It seemed more like chicken fried chicken with no gravy. I got maybe 1/4 cup of grilled mushrooms if that as seen in the photo. The photo shows my untouched meal. The loaded baked potato, which I paid an extra $2.50 for, had a little shredded cheese and bacon, nothing else. No butter, no sour cream, nothing, just a dry potato with cheese and bacon. They placed 4 packets of ketchup in the bag as well. The food was salted heavily for my taste, the grilled mushrooms more-so than the other food items. I ordered an unsweet tea with this meal and paid $21 and some change. I felt over charged and my meal didn't fit what I expected to received. I would like to add that I have had their breakfast, salads, sandwiches and burgers and they were ALL very good, no complaints, which is why I rated 3 stars. This is the second time I have attempted dinner and have been disappointed. In my opinion, this is more of a breakfast/lunch restaurant.

I know you're supposed to eat catfish at a catfish house, but neither of us wanted fried catfish :). I'm here to tell you the alternative options are very tasty! Here's the setup- you are seated and they automatically bring you a bowl of coleslaw, baked beans, hush puppies, and a plate that has pickles and onions on it. This is for you to share, and they will keep refilling it as long as you empty it lol You then order what you want for your main off the list on the wall. I really can't eat fried food so I went with the salmon and it was cooked to perfection. I also had a side of steamed veggies which they serve with butter and some seasonings on the side so you can do what you want to do with it. Hubby was craving a steak and saw that they had a black Angus 10 ounce sirloin and so that is what he went with and he said it was absolutely fantastic. They have you cut into it to make sure it's perfect before they leave it with you. He also had an absolutely huge baked potato! I feel bad because we really couldn't eat all of this food, it's a lot! And for $57 this is a pretty darn good deal They do not serve alcohol, but you can get iced tea or sodas They have a person playing guitar and singing music, he was actually quite good! It's Saturday night and the place was busy but service was very friendly and efficient. I know this is well off the beaten path, but if you're in the area and you want a filling dinner, go for it. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and on Sunday it Looks like they have limited hours from 11:30 to 2:30p. There is a cash discount available but they do take Visa.

We visited BluPoint tonight and enjoyed the friendliness of the team and the ambiance of the…read morerestaurant was wonderful. It is well lit, relaxed and upscale - all at the same time. The furnishings, decor and spaces are well designed to be modern, contemporary and (comfortably) trendy. The food was high quality. We enjoyed Oysters Rockefeller and Pull Apart Crab Rangoon as appetizers. For our main course, we shared a cut of 16 oz Bison paired alongside a Wedge Salad with thinly sliced green apple that complimented the superb homemade blue cheese dressing. We also had Brussels sprout and asparagus. Our kids shared a fish n chips with Mac n cheese as the "chips!" We drank water with our meal. The drink menu was plentiful for those who enjoy alcohol - it was quite expansive and seemed to have something for every taste from wines and beers and cocktails/specialty drinks. We don't drink alcohol, so we cannot speak with the voice of having tried any of the adult beverages. The dessert menu looked nice, though we didn't save room at this meal to enjoy - we will save that for another time. The pricing was a bit more than one would normally spend in the River Valley - though the ambiance, food quality, menu selections and wow factor were all certainly outstanding and in a class apart from most any other restaurant in this area. By comparison - I would say BluPoint would compare to Oak or Ruth's Chris (both in Rogers, Arkansas and both specializing in steaks). Other comparables in quality and enjoyment factor would be Doe's Eat Place in Fort Smith and the location in Fayetteville (also steak houses). Finally - just a little below those mentioned above (in my view), I would say 21 West End and Stone House at Chaffee Crossing, both in Fort Smith would be comparable to BluPoint. Of course, the menu selections will vary from the places I've mentioned as comparable - BluPoint had two solid options for high quality meat (filet and bison), as well as several seafood options - which makes sense given their specialty. We met the chef and he was friendly and pleasant. His creations (that we tried) were very enjoyable. We paid $270, including a 20% tip for the selections described above - so definitely don't forget the wallet or you'll be washing a lot of dishes!

My husbands steak was WELL DONE when we specifically asked for medium rare.... Don't quite know how you mix those 2 up. Didn't offer to fix it.
