    Hanging at the bar in @elote

    Had an amazing lunch here today! The bartender McGuire took great care of us with a great attitude and a helpful demeanor!

    Their food is sooo good and high quality. Oklahoma has a habit of bad Mexican food with drinks to numb you senses...Elote is on a those places you can do to get something that actually tastes good! I've been going there since it opened and it's consistently wonderful. Sometimes I can take it for granted- bc I always go back after having a bad experience elsewhere. They are always so kind there too- and I love the decor! My house looks the same, lol Great view in the heat of downtown too!

    This place was so fun and the vibes were perfect! We were immediately greeted by such friendly staff and we had no wait time for a Friday evening sitting at a bar high top which was great. We got our drinks as well as complimentary chips & salsa so quickly followed by our queso of choice that we ordered. Our food came out fairly quickly too and was so delicious! I'm not from Tulsa, but if I'm ever back in this area I'll 100% be coming back here again!

    Grant and I visited Elote for, what I'm embarrassed to admit, was the first time last week. We really enjoyed our meal and both remarked that we would be visiting again soon! For all of the great food in Tulsa, I sometimes feel like the Mexican food is pretty hit or miss - so it's great to find another awesome stop to add to our rotation! A few of my favorite items were the cream cheese queso, the puffy taco, side of elote corn off the cob, and my coconut strawberry margarita!

    I was starving having walked thousands of steps in the 100 degree heat of Tulsa. I chose to eat here because it was so close to where I was staying. I was immediately taken to a comfortable booth and Ashlan made sure I had chips and salsa immediately as I studied the menus. The mango margarita was excellent. It really hit the spot as did the ice water which Ashlan made sure I had plenty of. It was like she was a mind reader. I ordered the spinach avocado quesadilla which also arrived before I had destroyed all the complimentary chips. The quesadilla was delicious. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food and drinks, this is the place when you are in Tulsa.

    Coconut Margarita & spicy margarita were really good and the patio was perfect for a chill night! Wasn't a huge fan of the elote off the cob but the Tamala and enchiladas were yummy! Highly recommend the Luchador dip

    Great drinks!

    Our server Alex was outstanding! We had a large party and he was very attentive with food and drinks! Elote has cards and board games which we were able to use to enjoy after dinner. Highly recommend! It was a great walk over from Aloft.

    This community Yelp event was SO much fun! We had excellent service, margaritas on the rocks and blended, their layered dip was very tasty and filling, chips came out nice and hot, the puffy chicken tacos were puffy and good! The food was very tasty and fresh. Karaoke is the 1st Friday of the month, and then they have Bingo on the other Friday nights. KAROKE was ALOT of fun! My family and I had a great time! Thank you Yelp, Jahaziel, and Elote's for a fun and yummy night. Great family restaurant Bathrooms were very stylish, unique and clean. They also have an outside area dog friendly patio.

    Fantastic food, service and drinks are to be had at the most sustainable restaurant in Tulsa! Best Cinco de Mayo celebration in the state at this fun, cute Mexican establishment that supports diversity in the local community.

What follows is why I will NEVER STEP FOOT IN ANTOHER FREEWAY CAFE AGAIN. A few weeks ago, I went in and sat at a table. I watched two other tables of people (one couple another two tables) come in after me. Both got served water and I menus as still waited. I waited still as the waitress came and took an order at one of the tables....still no water, still no menu. I decided I may be invisible, so I got up and walked out. I didn't storm out, just walked out. As I did, the waitresses, literally loitering behind the counter (it was not a busy day) said, "oh, she's leaving". Fast forward to today, we decided to order a late breakfast in. I thought I would give them another chance, maybe it was an off day. Not the case. I went in to get my food from the counter. I waited while the waitress helped someone ahead of me. She asked my name and I told her and she said they were working on it. She went and got two food cartons and put them down in front of me and told me the total. We had ordered an extra side which was not there and I let her know (in an even tone). She barked back at me that she wasn't done. The man next to me looked bewildered. I began to tell the man about my last experience and the waitress interrupted our conversation and basically told me to shut-up. I was stunned. Additionally, the food has gone downhill. I will never set foot in any Freeway Cafe again. I was trying to support local; but there are plenty of better local eateries. I don't know why the atmosphere at this place has changed, but the tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Good riddance, Freeway Cafe.
