a plate of mexican food
Kehau M.

My partner passed this place when he had to detour due to some road closures and he craved pupusas every since so we had to try it. Originally we ordered online and paid and for whatever reason our order was canceled. I guess they were out of one of the items I ordered so when we got there we had to place our order again (they did call me and left a message but I assumed it was a spam call, so that's on me!). We ended up ordering 5 of the mixed pupusas and they were delicious and a pretty good size. It came with the shredded veggies and dipping salsa. They tasted freshly made and I was not disappointed. We took took to go and when we got back home on the NW side of OKC, they were still super hot, in a good way! I also ordered horchata, it was a little too sweet for me but I also haven't been doing much sugar so take that for what it is.

Chicken tamal

I absolutely hate leaving bad reviews. I really do. But I'm currently at this restaurant and have been sitting waiting for an hour for our food. At 1:31 we placed our orders (I know because I took a vid on insta of the menu at that time) and at this moment it is 2:31 and we're still waiting. No water was given, no asking if we wanted refills on our juices, no acknowledgement besides them dropping off my step-mom's fried yucca about 10 mins ago. Granted, the yucca tastes great, but this is ridiculous. At least tell us that it will take a while because you're busy or short handed or whatever, or offer water. WATER. At this point, my dad is ready to leave money on the table for the drinks and the one dish they delivered. Also, we've asked them for updates a couple of times, and all they say is "it's coming". No apology. --- Edit: so we got our food at about 2:40pm. The taste was really good for the pupusas, and the portions were really big! Such a shame we had to wait so long for them. My tamal came about 15 mins later, and that was underwhelming unfortunately. Maybe it's because I'm used to Mexican ones? Not sure, but it was pretty cheap so not a big deal. We did notice that a family who sat behind us 30 mins after we ordered got their food right after we got ours... So overall, even though the food was good, the lack of communication and service is a no for us. Just come expecting that, or order ahead for takeout and you should be fine though. I think we'll stick to that in the future since the pupusas were so good!

Chicken tamale
Jennifer D.

The lady working there was really nice. We had one of each pupusa, the chicken tamale, empanadas, and my friend had the steak meal. Each pupusa was huge, but very little filling and lots of meal. It needed salt or seasoning and was bland. The tamale was almost all corn and very little chicken and again very bland. The steak was okay but nothing spectacular.

Yuca Frita con Chicharrones
Mayra P.

Cute little pupusa place. Not only do they have tasty, fresh, and huge pupusas, they also have fried Yucca con Chicharron. Safe to say I was in heaven. And not to mention the different selection of aguas frescas it's not your regular quaint cup of refreshment either, they serve a a whole mug of the sweet Marañon drink. I went for the pupusas and will definitely be returning to try the rest of the dishes in this cute little hole in the wall.

The papusas were great. Also got plantains and horchata. It was all great. Wish there were more agua fresca options.

What can I say. It's all good and worth the time ! It's nothing fancy but that may be why we like it. Great food and very nice staff.

Misasa Latin Grill - Complimentary tostada bites

Misasa Latin Grill

3.0(5 reviews)

Misasa shows potential, but has some kinks to work out. We visited here on a Sat a little before…read morenoon - While we were the only sit-down diners, they seemed to be fielding several to-go orders. The atmosphere is just kind of "odd". There's elements of shabby-chic, mixed in with urban farmhouse, and topped with DIY-modern and altogether, it makes the place feel a bit disjointed. Their TVs and music selection sum it up nicely: Dr Phil + a show about Orangutans, with "Good Vibrations" playing over the speakers. But honestly, I don't care much about the aesthetics, it's the utilitarian aspects that matter and they missed the target on a key one - The tables are much too wide. If you're sitting across from one another, you're going to feel tempted to ask them to "pass the grey poupon" - Not to mention the fact that if you're sharing a dish (e.g. fundido), it's hard to maneuver the sharing part. The food: I left disappointed BUT hopeful. The vegetable fundido we ordered was not what we received - There were no beans, the vegetables were not the vegetables listed, and I'm not sure what cheeses they used (it seemed like all, straight-up cheddar) but it wasn't easy to dip and it tasted like, well.. like melted shredded cheddar that sticks together in clumps with some squash and broccoli mixed in. The tortilla chips were the thicker variety that I like, but sadly they were incredibly greasy. B/c the fundido was taking forever (ended up arriving with our meals instead of before), our server brought out complimentary chips and beans. I've covered the chips. The beans were not what I was expecting - There was a crumbled cheese on top that I assumed was something akin to queso fresco, but it was not - It looked like "Parmesan-shake" and tasted like blue cheese. If that's your jam, you'll love it. My veggie skewers while tasty, were not charred, which means you miss out on a ton of flavor. The husband reports that 2 of the 3 cuts of carne asada were delicious, but the 3rd one was inedible (i.e. a cut that should have been tossed rather than served). The rice was rice, but the plantains were yummy. The service was a mixed bag - Our server was great, but our food took an excessive amount of time. We'll think about trying Misasa's again after they've had time to iron out the hiccups that inevitably occur with every new restaurant opening.

I seriously cannot believe they only have 3 reviews on Yelp, not my favorite review platform, but I…read morewanted to leave 5 stars to help bump that up because the food was SO good. Highly recommend the beef empanadas, loved that they brought out complimentary tostada bites, and also loved my carne asada plate with the yucca fries, pinto rice, and plantains. Food tastes fresh and made to order and smokey from the grill. The empanada was the star and was only $3.50. I live nearby and I can't believe I've never been here before.

Michi Ice - Al Pastor Street Tacos 4.5/5 Delicioso

Don't judge them by the busy front covered in posters with no signage, because inside is a hidden…read moregem of authentic Mexican food (and pupuseria) with attached snack bar and import market. I tried all of their $1.50 street tacos, all heavy with meat, and a lil greasy in a good way. Aasada, al pastor, chicken, descada and chorizo. The latter two were my favorites -- stewed and off the chart flavorful. Al pastor was the next best, not as wet as some styles, and had good flavor. Chicken pulled, seasoned and pan crisped, tasty with their creamy green salsa. Carne asada was overflowing with meat, but it was a little grainy and were large round chunks, not like I'm used to. But it was super seasoned, on the salty side, still pretty tasty and super filling. I also had a very warm Champurrado, or Mexican hot chocolate. Great flavor, and perfect for a cold day. Cost was $2 served in a cute ceramic cup. Dining room is fairly clean, tables wiped, but the chairs are a bit stained and sticky. It is a bit of a hole in the wall, so expect very casual, fast casual counter service. Market has a lot of imported packaged goods, but they are priced a little high and thus sit on shelves a while. There is also another counter where they serve Mexican ice cream, popsicles and other snacks, along with a decently stocked panaderia case. I read some Google reviews, with comments about the two girls commonly working here and I think they're being targeted unfairly. Both were very friendly to us and helpful where they could be, but varied on their English ability. I was very impressed with the food so far, and I'll surely be back.

I've been meaning to try this place, and now that the construction in the area is a bit better,…read moreI've decided to stop by for lunch. There is a lot going on in this little eatery, while the other side is a mini-market that mainly sells packaged goods. The place does take credit cards. One staff member speaks English, and she was very sweet and welcoming. I did wait a bit for my order, though. I had their al pastor, carne asada, & discada (mixed meats) tacos. Out of those three, I liked the carne asada the most. The meats for the discada weren't grilled and consisted of mostly ham and sausage in a light tomato-onion sauce. It was different and, flavorwise, wasn't great. However, what I liked most from my visit was the agua de pina since it's actually fresh pineapple juice. Just be aware there is some pulp in it.
