Drink slushies!
Kristin Q.

Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 8/10 Portion size: tacos= average, burrito= large Wait time: 8 minute wait to order Tried some Mexican food in McAlester and it was actually very good! I ordered an aray of tacos and the beef lengua (beef tongue) was my favorite! They were so tender and juicy. You definitely need to try it! I usually don't eat body parts like tongue but I had to give it a try! The other tacos I tried were: Carne asada (steak), al pastor (pork), and chile rojo (pork tips in red sauce). They were also delicious but once you have the beef lengua you won't want anything else! My second favorite though, was the chile rojo. The sauce was amazing, flavorful and spicy. They ran out of the chile Verde taco but next time I'll try that too! My family also got queso and chips to share. Queso was good and didn't feel too heavy either which I liked!

Lengua taco and asada taco  Bare minimum
Josephine A.

Ehh, doing the bare minimum as far as Mexican street food goes. The meat was flavorless. The lengua I got could've been the steak I got aside from the texture. No garlic or salt/pepper. One slice of lime for two tacos. Two tacos $7 I just cannot believe how tasteless, even with the salsa. There's no love in this food.

Have you ever eaten a baby? If you have you know what it's like to handle getting one of these burritos into your gullet. They're enormous and delicious! The atmosphere is legit. I went there for tacos and that's what I got. No fancy red, white, and green decorations. No mariachi music. Just a counter to take your order, a bare bones sign with your menu and that's it. Yeah, I'm sure they'll expand, but it was like walking in and them saying "Yo, you want tacos? That's what we got. You want the rest of that junk go to Taco Bell." They're all about business. The lack of frill just added to the appeal. Eat here and do it often. Otherwise you'll hate yourself forever and likely die miserable.

Carne asada and Al pastor tacos

This place is so good! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the tacos were some of the best. We also got the salsa and white queso ("cheese sauce") and was wonderful. For a small town lunch stop on the way to our destination, we hit the jackpot. Highly recommend.

Very good food. Fast, friendly service. It was right off the cute little downtown area. I liked being able to support a local business.

We ordered beer, the cucumber jalapeño margarita and lemonade with vodka, and soda. Holy Cow don't underestimate the size of the margarita. It clearly had to be shared. And even then there was some left over. Our table ordered a couple of single orders of steak and chicken fajitas ($10) as well as the Carne Asada ($14), tacos, and guacamole. The chips and salsa tied us over until the food arrived. The chicken and the steak were cooked exactly if they needed to be for the fajitas, the carne asada was tasty and filling, and the beans and rice were delicious. It was clear that people were enjoying their meals here and when there was one mixup it was corrected very quickly. This was our second time here. If you want a place where the food is reliably tasty, the service is, and the prices are very reasonable -- this is an ideal option in McAlester.

The servers are always polite and attentive and it's always busy to the atmosphere is lively and fun. My recommendation is the Chori Chicken... you will NOT regret it!
