    Stuffed Poblano Peppers
    Jacque S.

    I wanted to update and tell you about the street tacos, they're delicious! The menu says three but there is so much filling I had five! Also the sauce that comes with them- VERY spicy!! I mean it's habanero so... My husband had the spinach and chicken enchiladas, had to share that picture- they looked amazing and tasted even better. As always the waiters are always attentive and the place is very clean. Definitely recommend.

    Flan

    Stopped by one evening to have an early dinner in an atmosphere that we could sit at a table instead of standing and carrying our food from a fast food place while maneuvering with our canes necessary for walking. We were pleasantly greeted upon our arrival and escorted to a nearby booth. The booth was clean and the table also. We ordered the enchiladas vegetarian with vegetables and spinach sauce. When the entrees arrived at our table we could tell that the chef in the kitchen took extra care to ensure that our entrees arrived at our table with eye appeal. Our entrees were of excellent quality. Our server was very busy but she took the time to check on us whenever possible. We were pleased that she brought us extra napkins without us having to ask. The sweet tea is Texan recommended. Texans prefer very flavorful tea with a lot of ice. She also was kind enough after dropping off the bill she took our credit card for processing. This extra service means a lot to us as walking and standing is difficult for both of us. I am not sure what type of product the chips brought to the table are fried in but at first taste the flavor is very similar to those cooked in lard so we didn't consume the complimentary chips. When we visit again I will try to remember to request that chips not be brought to our table. The menu has a lot of selections to include possibilities for vegetarians. We will stop by this restaurant again in the future. My spouse ordered a flan. The presentation was excellent as well as the flavor.

    Reviewed February 3, 2019 Health Score 83 out of 100 That sauce would be good on a tennis shoe! I am not too sure that wasn't what it was on! I was looking for a new place to try and ran across an old review from 2013 in regards to its premier opening. The chef explained that each of his restaurant's dishes had their own signature sauce, unlike other restaurants that use only two sauces for all their various dishes. That intrigued me. Even though this restaurant was only rated # 23 out of 68 restaurants in Claremore (and # 4 of Mexican) I just felt like I needed to give it a try. I decided to try Steak Ranchero with a chili toreado. It was described as having a chili morita sauce. I had to do a quick internet search to find out what that was. After reading about it before the waitress got to our table; based on the description, I assumed it was a screaming hot sauce. She said "no, it was mild ad flavorful." Ok I will give it a try." The other meal was the chicken spinach enchiladas. It too had its signature sauce: roasted poblano and spinach cream sauce. The Chicken Enchiladas were delicious. The sauce made the meal! Now the Steak Ranchero was a little more challenging. It seem to take while to get the food. I think the steak ranchero is not a meal that is ordered here that often and that the sauce was made fresh! The sauce was overwhelmingly good. I just really don't know how to explain the taste other than mild and it did not taste like chili powder. It complemented the steak perfectly. I could have eaten a bowl of it. The steak was a different story. I believe it had recently escaped from a shoe factory. One of the toughest I have ever had. The meat that I was able to saw off, tasted good though. The chips and salsa were good and they do have some very good, very hot salsa available. I had bad luck on the steak (sometimes that happens), but the sauces and everything else was so good, I gave it a very good overall. I will be back to give it another try. If you try it, be sure to order a chili toreado to go with the meal. Note: This review and photos were originally posted on Tripadvisor by Spike S.

    Chicken Spinach enchiladas

    I love the spinach chicken enchiladas from here. They are so good! I have been getting this same dish since 2020. Servers are very nice and I love how they play Mexican music. Definitely should try this place!!! ( they give chips and salsa when seated)

    Was taken on Father's day and the food was good. The wife liked the robot that brought out the food. I will go back.

    One of the better Mexican food restaurants in Claremore. Good rice, beans, chips and salsa. I order the carne asada and it's pretty good.

As we were seated, I noticed the table surface was wet. The staff member briefly attempted to dry it by fanning it with menus; he then drops the menus and silverware on the table, turns away to speak with another table, and left without addressing us further. At no point were we acknowledged, helped, or provided with basic courtesy. Due to this experience, we chose to leave the restaurant. As a first-time customer, I found this treatment disappointing and concerning. I would like clarification on whether this reflects your standard level of service. Or is it just your black customers that receive this type of service. I would appreciate your response regarding this matter. At present, based on this experience, I am hesitant to return or recommend your business.

    Well, this was my first visit. I ordered two entrees to go. When i got home i noticed both entrees…read more, although they were shown to have beans, came with double rice . The server even specified the they had beans and rice they came with rice and rice. It would have been nice to inform me that there Mexican restaurant had no beans. Although no beans the order with hooottt sauce was good. Just thought after being told about the beans, should have beans. Hate to give a small restaurant a negative review I will probably return but will ask about what is included in entrees.

    It is a small restaurant located on the bad side of the tracks in an industrial area of Claremore…read more Inside, it is clean, brightly decorated and comfortably air conditioned. The owner was the entire staff this afternoon: cook, cashier and server. This lady can cook. The food is exceptionally delicious, flavorful traditional Mexican food. Chips and salsa started the meal. Very good mild, and salsa picante with heat and flavor. We ordered a small Guacamole. A perfect guacamole! Fresh avocado, chunks of tomato, onion and cilantro. A hint of the great food to come. My wife got Todays Special, 4 Barbacoa Tacos. It came with a consommé. A red, rich broth made from the braised beef and spiced to leave a flavor in your mouth that you will enjoy the rest of the afternoon. I had a Sope with Al Pastor. The lady said to be patient because she had to make the thick tortilla (corn cake) and fry it. A complete meal. A layer of beans, the tasty pork Al Pastor, lettuce, cheese, cilantro topped off with a squiggle of sour cream. Two wonderful plates of food. The food we had today was impressive. The best Mexican food that we have had in Claremore. Hop over the railroad tracks and try it!
