tortillas and chips
Mary W.

We were greeted nicely as soon as we walked in and were asked "smoking or non-smoking". First, I will say that I don't believe I've been asked that in about 20 years and even though I don't smoke, I was happy to be asked. I think it's great that someone would have the choice to do so and I was not offended in any way. There was no smell of cigarettes either. We were seated quickly, chips, salsa, and cheese were brought out and our drink orders were taken. The drinks were brought back and our meal order was taken. Everything was done pretty efficiently, which we like. Then we started having our chips. Most of them were chewy. We realized they had been pulled out of the fryer too quickly and so they had not cooked thoroughly and were still soaked in oil. I took this pic 20 minutes after, so you can imagine how bad the oil was when we received them. You can see that in the pic. The cheese was ok, but the salsa was actually the best I've had in town thus far and even had a kick, thank goodness. That was the end of the good dinner. My hubby got a chimichanga, which is deep fried. It looked deep fried, but when he cut into it, it was soggy like raw dough and it wasn't hot, only lukewarm. My cheese enchiladas were also barely warm and soggy. The cheese was not completely melted in some areas, but melted and congealed in others and barely warm also. I have pics of that also. So the only thing we could think of since the food came out super fast, is that they are pre made and slightly heated? If this isn't the case, we don't know why? We would've asked for it to be redone, but honestly, the taste was not good. It was so bland and tasteless that it just wasn't worth the carbs on my cheat day. I hate to give a bad review because the staff is just that awesome, some of the best in town really, but no, we do not have plans to be back at this time. We tipped, paid and left.

One star because there are no zero stars. Terrible food. Service wasn't bad but not helpful either. The cheese water they bring out is not mixed properly, salsa and thin chips not bad. I ordered fish tacos, yes I should know better. Burnt fried spoiled fish showed up. You could smell the rancid after the frying it took. On cold store bought flour tortillas. Also serve barely cold beer. Hour later I'm suffering the effects of good ol ptomaine! Respect your guts don't do it!!

Fish tacos minus the other ingredients....

I don't usually give five stars, this was absolutely worth the 5…read more I asked all the locals, and they all said this was the best, which was great because it was already on my radar. There are things here that could be picked apart however, you would have to be mad at Life to do it. The staff is amazing, bartenders are legitimate mixologists. The drinks are big, a gud selection of Mexican beers and the food is the reason this place is packed. Even tho they are busy i got my beer right away. Just saw the bartender checking the temp of a beer before serving. Food came out hot and delicious. Got the big burrito (took home half), to go'd the poco loco (bc everybody needs gud leftovers) it was all perfect. Dania was the best server I've had in a while, she may have gotten an assist from the lady next to me bc when I accidentally dropped my lime, trying to squeeze it into my Victoria (ugh!) the next time she came back around I she gave me another lime wo my asking. The attention to detail here is next level, pay attention, you'll see it. My experience makes me wish I did not live 4 hours away. I would be a regular. Trigger warning, they allow smoking in the bar, that's not my thing so it was a little offputting, just make sure you get a seat where you can be comfortable. Pro tip: it's on the backside of the mall

food is ok average for duncan area. you can eat it but good mex food it is not…read more restaurant is clean, people are nice. altho still not truly authentic food, tres amigos in lawton is worth the drive. its much better

The staff was really friendly, greeted and led us to a table promptly. The server was really nice as well. It was when she handed us the menus that I noticed it was like two restaurants in one location?? The other was a fish place. I was still hopeful it would be good, though I thought it odd. The chips they served in the basket were hot, fresh, thin and crispy. Yum! The "salsa", not so much. It tasted like tomato sauce with some tomato chunks. It was missing flavor. My husband ordered tacos and I ordered cheese enchiladas. I asked for mine to be heated super hot to make sure the cheese melted. This resulted in them bringing his meal a few minutes before mine, but we were ok with that. His tacos had a decent flavor and were fully stuffed, which is rare these days, but the texture was strange. The meat was kind of mushy like. He ate them anyway. My enchiladas were so hot, the sauce was bubbling. I loved that part! The cheese enchiladas were actually pretty tasty themselves, but I wish I had passed on the "chili". I don't think it resembled chili at all and it was just not good. If I went back, I'd have to skip the sauce. We might be back.

The service was extremely poor. Food was overpriced and not…read morewhat we ordered. We ordered coffee and and no refills. The food was cold. Queso was cold and old.
