The very nice…read moreowner who is from Brownsville, Texas stated "this is authentic, genuine Northern Mexican cuisine." So, what is the difference? North; think carne asada, tacos and burritos with flour tortillas, and beans, vs. South; think ceviche and fish tacos, corn tortillas and mango pineapple salsa. This little restaurant delivers to the table, some of the best freshest tastiest AND AUTHENTIC Mexican food that I have had. Delicious generous helpings of carne asada on the tacos and overflowing from the torta. Flavorful Charro beans. The guacamole is perfect. Then there are the salsas that looked and tasted like they just came out of the blender, served up with thick crispy, house made tortilla chips. These salsas made the meal. Tasty, spicey, heat! Newly redecorated suite in this little strip mall. Clean comfortable and friendly service. Food ordered and delivered to your table. Served on Styrofoam and plastic, like a taco truck. Your drink is in a can. There are 2 other Mexican restaurants in Tahlequah that I recommend, but I will likely be found at Taqueria La Hermosa. It really does beat anything I have had in Muskogee or Tahlequah. I have tried almost all of them. If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check out my reviews in my collection "Jalapeno Highway" by Spike S. on Yelp. I've probably been there.

You will see it on your right as you come in to town from Pryor. The food is fabulous and the service matches. The restaurant has a large menu, of Mexican food, but also offers pizza, burgers and a full bar. Food and beverages to please everyone. The perfect place to stop, coming or going to the lake. I didn't expect to find this quality of food and service in small town Salina. Kaitlyn delivered chips and salsa. I asked if there was a spicy salsa and she started naming everything they had. I asked for a small sample of everything. That is what I got. They have a great variety. All were very good; the hotter versions were my favorite. Check the picture. My wife and I both got the Combo Dinner: Beef Taco, Beef Enchilada, Pork Tamale, Beans and Rice. As a sauce option for the tamale Los Cocos has an excellent authentic red sauce. A true flavorful red chili mole. It is delicious and perfect on the tamale. Well-seasoned ground beef filled the enchilada and the crispy taco. Tasty beans and rice on the side. Los Cocos was a surprise that exceeded expectations!

So, it has only been open for approximately four months as of today. It has some very favorable reviews on Google. I agree with the good reviews I have read. I was surprised to see that it had not been set up on Yelp. The building has been attractively remodeled and expanded, since our visit. It needed the improvements. Even with the upgrades, it still shows the telltale characteristics of a typical well worn, small town OkieMex restaurant, operating in a repurposed structure. It is clean and comfortable. Very well staffed with friendly attentive servers. Chips, salsa and drinks were delivered instantaneously, after we found a booth. The fresh hot food followed only minutes after our order was taken. This is full flavor, well-seasoned OkieMex food. Nothing was bland. The mild salsa had good flavor and the salsa picante offered professional grade heat also, with flavor. I didn't have to dump a bowl of salsa on anything to give it seasoning but, the fiery picante was a handy condiment to bring the heat levels up. For us the #18 lunch: beef taco and enchilada with rice and beans and the #24 Burrito Guadalupano with delicious seasoned grilled chicken. The burrito was a meat packed, plate filling monster, half went home in a box. The taco and enchilada were packed with perfectly seasoned beef. Tasty queso on the enchilada and burrito. I was surprised and pleased. Good food, good dining experience!

Our server was very pleasant and answered our questions we had about menu items. A basket of thin, warmed chips were served with a mild salsa. The chips were great. I ordered the Burrito Matador lunch special with ground beef, beans, rice, red sauce, sour cream, lettuce and a nice thick slice of tomato. My girlfriend ordered lunch special #1 which was a Chile Relleno, Chicken Taco, beans and Avocado salad. The shredded chicken in the taco was tender and juicy. The portions were generous. For dessert we split a Flan which was very good. Overall it was a positive experience with the exception of the Fabuloso smell and the food was a bit bland. Prepared well however and served hot. We'd visit again.

It is a very small restaurant. How small? Well, my car would not fit in the dining area. How small? There is a refrigerator by the bathroom. The refrigerator door and the bathroom door cannot be open at the same time. There are 5 table/booths. There is no English spoken here. Drinks are limited to Mexican Cokes, those other colorful sugary drinks in a bottle, and bottled water. Thankfully, I know how to say in weird sounding Spanish, "dos aquas." No chips and salsa on the menu. A torta for my wife and a burrito for me. Both packed with fresh grilled chopped carne asada. The guy working the cash register delivered both meals to the table, then returned with the plastic squirt bottles of very good salsa. My burrito had some seasoned rice, much more meat than rice, though. Also, a little chopped onion and cilantro with the beef. I added a good dose of hot red salsa and WOW. An enjoyable tasty dining experience. Eat authentic Mexican food here.
