    Dinner Fajita - Shrimp Only

    Wonderful experience, drove here from DFW as usual but this visit was different. We got to meet Noe, the son's owner who was very down to earth and a wonderful server. He told us a bit about his parents (the owners)shared a bit of their story and made us feel even more connected to this great place! Although when you drive up it may not be the easiest on the eyes, the food, the service and the people are wonderful and truly worth the stop. Will forever stop here and will forever continue to vouch for this place! Truly a hidden gem.

    Chili rellano loaded with cheese and drowning in queso! OMG Good!

    This hole in the wall is serving some really awesome Mexican food! We started off with an endless basket of chips and homemade fresh salsa. The tortilla chips were a little thicker, like a Mi Cocina type of chip and had a great flavor. When they brought salsa they brought one for each guest, and that's great for me because I don't like to share my salsa! The chili rellano was a real treat. Often the pepper is breaded and fried, but not here. They were loaded with cheese and drowned in queso. The peppers were cooked el dente and had a good neutral pepper flavor, not too hot and not too sweet. For $19 we had a fajita feast, fresh sautéed peppers and onions served on a sizzling skillet loaded with grilled chicken on top. There were plenty for two people... for both lunch AND dinner! Friendly hometown service. I'd make the trip from Plano just to have the chili rellano again! We have to thank the locals at The Tile Shoppe distribution center for the recommendation.

    Aloha fajitas. This was brought to a catering job at the Oklahoma State Capitol Building. So, so good.

    This is a review written by a person who is on the receiving end of their catering. They brought food from Durant OK to serve the Senate Republican Caucus lunch on a Monday. They brought fajita's. Rice, beans, pico, salsa, chips, tortillas. Guac, shredded queso blanco, shredded cheddar, lettuce. I mean it was a full on Mexican fajita buffet. The fajita's were full of roasted, tender beef, chicken, onions, peppers, pineapple and (drum roll please) BACON! Chips were light, but didn't crumble at a touch. Stood up to scooping the pico, beans, etc. Tortillo's were 6-7". Just a perfect size to stuff with that delicious fajita filling. Don't forget to add your other sides to the tortilla. I am very jealous that I don't live in or near Durant. This place blows away OKC's top 5 mexican restaurants for taste and catering. I will make it to Durant and eat there in person soon. Thank you to the staff and crew who made this catering job possible. From the Capitol staff to the staff at Jalapenos, we love you! Come back soon!

    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!
