    At Church after a great meal
    Kaylean T.

    The food is great, I Love the service. Very Friendly Wait staff. My wife really Loves the food and she is really hard to please when it comes to food. Thank you for giving my wife belief in great tasting food again

    Outside connected to the Executive Inn

    The restaurant was small but very fast service. The waitress was super nice and very friendly. They played some great Spanish music while you ate and kept the chips coming. Our food, queso, and salsa was yummy. The location makes it look like it's not going to be great but to me we found a great hole in the wall restaurant. Couple of downers were that the flour tortillas were not homemade and the chicken tacitos were not as flavorful as I expected. Also, they made my heart sad by not having any more the tres leches cake. lol

    Fajitas!!

    I just popped in here based on reviews. I had never been here before and I was looking forward to it. I had their house fajitas which has like 5 meats in it. I also asked for it to be cooked spicy as I prefer it with more flavor. It was very good! Good flavor and overall taste! The green sauce they brought even added to the dish. All the meats were cooked well and even the shrimp was seasoned. Great portions and I had plenty left over to take home. My only issues were, the tortillas were too small. They make them on-site so they could easily be larger. Very fresh nonetheless. The veggies were a bit soggy, I like them firmer and fresher. I will definitely be back! Thus might be NY new spot in town!

    -WINNER WINNER FAJITA DINNER- Just a hop skip away from Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma. Our first time trying this establishment and it did not fail us. Greeted and seated immediately. Menus and drinks, chips and salsa arrived in record time. We studied the extensive menu for awhile. I went with the Combination Fajitas. Chicken, steak, shrimp, bell peppers, onions and tomatoes grilled to perfection. It came with rice, beans. (I deleted the rice) sour cream, guacamole and lettuce. I ordered an additional side of grilled onions and fresh jalapeños. The additional side looked like an entire onion. I brought home enough to feed an army. They did not skimp on any items including the fresh homemade flour tortillas, so good. Not to forget the appetizer queso white cheese dip. Served warm and delicious. No way we could finish this huge bowl of cheese dip. A large family came in behind us so I did not get the waiters name. He was very professional, prompt and efficient. He repeated our order back to us for confirmation. Our food was served without any missing items. It's a win-win for us. Yes we will be returning!

    The chili verde is the perfect balance between sour and hot. The Guacamole is hand made, and the Carnitas were Very tasty. Authentic Mexican food, that tastes great.

    The food is pretty good, however, the drinks are a little inconsistent. Much better than some of the other places in town.

    Shaky Start due temporarily losing my mind, wallet, and taking weird pictures and videos…read more Probably one of the best bar experiences I've ever had .. 5 star everything. Learnt a lot of the Cherokee Nation and how much they care about their people . Russell & Christine are 100 percent down for their community and company they work for. So open and free met some cool new humans. Stories of Richard Nixon, California, and Oklahoma greatness.. Such a interesting interesting family.. Diamonds in the rough I'll come again just because they honored my Veteran Status. My day was turned bright due to staff up in this place can't wait to come back..

    I pass through Durant regularly going from Tulsa, OK to Dallas, TX. This trip was no different…read moreexcept I had a group of guys and we were on our way home from a fishing trip on Lake Texoma. Mind you, we're all regular guys, but each of us are uniquely well travelled as professionals in our fields. On our way home we saw a couple of billboards that called this restaurant out as nationally acclaimed. None of us had been here before so we thought we'd try it out. We all were served hot food and left with full bellies, but much was to be desired. I am not here to speak poorly of this locally owned and operated dining establishment but I'll say it did leave much to be desired. The service was good however. I must say the hostess seated us promptly and our server was friendly but that's about as good as it got for me. The restaurant itself seemed oddly dim or not lit very well. We were in around 1 PM on a Saturday and it was, well, dingy. The menus were falling apart, our table and chairs didn't look like they'd be in use much longer and the overall appearance on the side wasn't much better. The food did come out piping hot as expected for a Mexican restaurant. I'll give them kudos for that. The food we all had though wasn't all that good despite the gargantuan portions. They do give you a ton of food here. One friend ordered a 'small' plate of nachos and I think 3 of the 4 of us could have filled up on that alone! Everything to me tasted canned and not fresh. This for me takes away from any dining experience. I like freshly prepared food. I am good with canned if it's done well and doesn't at least taste like it's fresh from a can or bag or from the freezer. So overall, this wasn't a horrible place to eat, but I had higher expectations. Odds are I won't stop in here again, but don't let my opinion alone be a reason to not try this place out. I'd encourage anybody to stop in and give it a whirl. You may like it where I didn't. And take advantage of the free queso for checking in on yelp!
