My family and I came here and did not have the greatest experience. the service was extremely slow and the food was burnt. Not to mention the two bus women who were cleaning up were extremely rude to my mother. It doesn't take two people to do one job. Do better :)) read more

Went for the first time ever during my lunch hour.. service was great, very fast my waiter was very prompt and offered refills ect. The price was a little high but the food was amazing and service was great! read more

The chicken fajita taco was excellent! Loved the avocado and slaw!

Every time we've been here the food Tatars great and the service matches! I love receiving their text coupons too. Obviously it isn't authentic Mexican food but I'm from Texas and this comes pretty close to Tex-Mex which is delicious! Overall, great atmosphere, food, service, and prices! read more

I have a paper ID since it's taking forever to get my real ID and refused to take it.. Waitress was super rude and clearly does not care about customer service. read more

3 of my friends and I came here on Saturday and we had a wonderful server named Teresa. The food was great and we so enjoyed our food and our server, we loved it and will be back. We miss our El Chico in Fayetteville Arkansas so it was good to be able to come in and have a good meal. I let the host know of our experience and to let Management know how great Teresa was. read more

Love their enchiladas they have an avocado one now delicious as well as the spinach, all of me of good. Great chips (warm) and salsa. read more

El Chico - Cinco enchiladas. 5 small enchiladas. Omg!!! Very good! Sub spinach for the bean and chicken. - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I was honestly somewhat disappointed with the food. The waiter service was great and my Uncle Mike knew the waiter. The wifi was extremely slow as well. Returned to check this place out! Their wifi was MUCH better, the food was much better. But it did take awhile to come out. When I arrived, I told the host that it'll be my two friends and I eating but they weren't here yet. When they came, they brought two more people than expected. They happily and quickly moved us to a bigger table! Great place to eat at. read more

Food and service are always exceptional at this particular location. Server Theresa Hinman always remembers your name after the first time you come in. She always engages her customers in great conversation, and takes extra steps to make sure your order is exactly how you want it. Managers Troy Guinn and Jose Mota continuously work to make sure everyone has a great experience and that you do not leave disappointed. Food is always good quality, and very much top notch compared to other El Chico restaurants in the Tulsa area. read more

I was in town for work and had some free time for lunch and stumbled across El Chico. I love Mexican food so I gave it a whirl. The chicken fajitas were fine and the service was good. Nothing to wow me, but nothing negative either. Overall it was a fine experience. read more

Great service and atmosphere. Decent prices. Was not fully satisfied w my burrito (i thought the onions would be grilled and they were not) and the server caught on very easily. I didn't want to bother but she insisted on bringing me something else I would be more pleased with. I ended up with a quesadilla with a tomato tortilla and it was AMAZING! And the Mexican Sangria is incredible as well read more

Not worth the cost. Dine in is considerably better than the delivery service. Missing items, items "on side"weren't "on side". The driver offered to go back and have the order fixed properly but I didn't feel like waiting another 1 hr for my dinner. read more

Haven't been here for a while. Came for our anniversary, great food and service. We had the beef burrito con queso and the Juarez. We definitely go back! read more

Our family loves this place! Some of the best Mexican eats in town. I'm not a huge Mexican food fan, but when we do eat Mexican, we choose El Chico. My pregnant wife doesn't stop craving it ! Definitely give it a shot if you're in the area. Service is really great too! read more

See all

Absolutely delicious! The waitress was so helpful and offered suggestions and dinner specials that they were offering. They brought tortillas along with chips and salsa and vegetables. I Loved it! read more

As a previous reviewer said, "...this is one of those places that people forget about." and she was right. Back when the Promenade had a decent movie theater, we would sit in the bar at El Chico enjoying the good service and food prior to, or after a movie. I stumbled across the review and remembered that we used to really like this place. So...we decided to do lunch here a couple of days ago. We found parking pretty close and were quickly shown to a booth in the larger restaurant part. Chips and some great slightly spicy salsa were brought. We got a small cup of yellow queso which was very tasty. My wife got the Chicken Monterrey lunch for $9.49. It was quite a bit of food and she took half home. I wasn't all that hungry so I got Lunch Special Cinco for $7.99 ordering frijoles rancheros in place of the refried beans. It was all very tasty. Whitney, our waitress, was very attentive, professional and funny! I'd forgotten that Thursday are 1/2 price for kids and right at noon a group of about 15 kids came in with a couple of adults. No problem, they were so well-behaved and quiet. We'll be adding this back into our lunch rotation and maybe someone will refurbish the theater next door... read more

Great place to hangout and meet new friends. Food and drinks are always phenomenal. Check them out.

I am not really a fan of el Chico and can't really tell you why. I will say that this is probably the best location that I have been to. Our server was friendly and took great care of us. My food was hot and fresh. However, the food is just average Mexican food in my opinion. If you like el Chico then this would be the location that I would recommend you visit. read more

El Chico's is a family favorite, it's been in Tulsa for years and their staff is outstanding. Ask for Francisco as a server he is the absolute best read more

Delivery was late and food was cold! Usually love el Chico but this was lacking in quality service and food

The only thing that was good here what is the salsa. The hot salsa was amazing. If I go back it will be just to buy the salsa to go. The place tonight seem very clean the rice and beans were absolutely horrible. For a Mexican food place I think this is the worst beans I've ever had in my life. They really need to learn how to cook beans along the Mexican rice had no flavor. The food was overcooked super dry so that's how I got to become such close friends with the salsa because I would have to submerge my food with salsa. Check behind the bar and the waitress How do you parents to of been on drugs like it weaker. Scabs on her arms super all over the place sunken in cheeks. She was nice don't get me wrong. But this is not something I want to feel comfortable comfortable with serving my food to me. The manager was pretty nice but again the food and the service was just not great at all. I will not be going back here ever again. read more

Let me start by saying I expected chain tex-mex. That's what we got and it was ok. Service was good. Food was just so, so. If I hadn't been with a baseball team I would have looked for a better YELP rating. read more

My wife and I were hungry for Mexican food this evening and went to this location where we have been before. Well, we stood and stood and stood at the hostess station for several minutes at 6:45 PM and no one ever acknowledged our presence, so we turned around and left and won't be back. Some family members had told us that they had been there recently and had a bad experience, but we wanted to check it out and I guess they were right. This will probably be another closed down restaurant at the rate they are going. Hope management reads Yelp and wakes up before it's too late. read more

I'm visiting from out of town, so I checked Yelp for a good place to eat. I was seated fast, had my order taken fast and my food came out fast! And it was damn good and the portion was generous. Ingredients were fresh. Table was clean. I wish this restaurant had a location in PA, my husband & daughter would love it. read more

Went last night the service was good but the food was just not good to me . I am on meds and I might not have good taste just now . I did like the salsa and quaso the white. I wish I had a plate of rice and white quaso lol read more

My wife and I have been going to this El Chicos for 10 years....and we love it. Cheap beer, good food, fast service. I don't know what these people are looking for on these 1 and 2 star reviews when you can take your family here to eat good Tex/mex for CHEAP (5 person family eating for around $50)! It really is true though, with El Chico you either love it or you hate it. I love it. BTW, they have a server/bartender there named Theresa and she's one of the best people in the service industry I have ever met.....seriously. read more

Food was good but someone with me asked for a steak knife and it was covered in food on one side. Looked like one they took off a table that they hadn't cleaned off yet. The place smelt really bad and their bathrooms were really dirty. read more

Frankie is the absolute best server! Love the food and the new remodel! Ask for him when you come in!

The best part of the meal was the chips and salsa, enough said? Probably will not return.

Visiting family and didn't expect the food to be good. Decided to have lunch here for the kids meals specials. But our servers were very friendly and the food was actually pretty good. Thanks, El Chico! I liked my chicken tacos. read more

Picked up kin @ airport, but ate at 71st St. location. I love El Chico. I've eaten Tex-Mex in San Antone and Dallas and this is the closest to Heaven I can get. Not perfect, but close. I'll come again. Only complaint is the promptness of wait staff. read more

i am a regular at this El Chicos. I come in about 3 times a week. Every time i feel like a million bucks. Theresa is the best server you could ever ask for. She always knows what i know and knows how i like it! The food is always fresh and made to order. Stop in and say hi!!! read more

We had a group of about 20 and I called around to many different restaurants to see if the could accommodate us on a Sunday afternoon they all wanted nothing to do with it until I called here. They we very nice took down the information. On Sunday when we got there they had it all set up and ready to go. Our waitress was amazing. She had a great personality and kept everything in the table full and was on top of everything. The tickets were split Correctly and the food was great and prepared and delivered quickly and correctly. It was the best experience I have had dining out with a large group. read more

They have a cool happy hour so I got 1/2 price beer and apps before I had a great quesadilla. It was very fast and I will definitely go back. read more

I have been coming to this el Chico for well over 10 years and usually have had no problem. Last night my husband and I went there and sat by a table of guys the manager was extremely friendly with. The manager sat there with the table for well over 30 minutes talking about very provocative and inappropriate things a manager should not be speaking about at his place of business. (Sex, porn, etc). Some things were so inappropriate it made me not want to eat anymore. When he left we walked right by him he didn't say one word. No thank you. Nothing. The hostesses didn't tell us bye or anything because they were too busy playing on their phones. As a person who spent almost $50 there I wish I would have taken my business somewhere else where it was appreciated. The customer service was absolutely terrible. read more
