My wife and I were in Durant on Sunday April 26th and decided to have lunch at Villegas and that…read morewas a great decision. The food is amazing! My wife tried the cheese and chicken enchiladas and I had the sour cream chicken enchiladas and they were great. The sour cream sauce was so good! The place is very popular yet they are able to handle the demand and turn the tables fairly quickly. Also, It is a BYOB type of place so if want a cerveza you will need to bring it yourself. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend this place!

We were traveling to visit my sister in Dallas. My lady found Villegas on the internet and decided…read moreto make a small detour for dinner. If you're looking for an upscale restaurant with amazing décor... this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a restaurant with good food, great service, and large portions... look no further. Based on reviews we decided to get an order of Fajita's and split them. This was a good decision. We ended up getting the single chicken Aloha Fajitas. The portion size is huge. Even splitting an order, we had left overs. We ended up taking them with to my sisters and eating the rest as left overs with her the next day. We verified we did not get a double. The Fajitas were deliciously amazing. The vegetables were firm, but still soft. The chicken was cooked perfect. It was juicy with a nice char to it. The flavor combination combining the sweetness of the pineapple with the spice of the jalapenos and saltiness of the bacon mixed perfectly with the onions, green peppers and chicken. If, like me, you are not a huge fan of pineapple, don't worry, the flavor is not overpowering, it adds a sweetness with just a hint. It's not overpowering, and it's easy to avoid the chunks of pineapple if you don't want to eat it on it's own. Our only issue was the bathrooms, they were dirty and didn't appear to be well maintained. The partitioned off area they were in was being used for storage making it hard to maneuver. Overall, we had a great experience as Villegas. Our service was fantastic, and the meal was memorable. Just remember that when ordering, keep the portion size in mind. I would give it five stars for food alone, but that would not be accurate of the overall experience.

Authentic Mexican in Durant, Oklahoma?! Check out: El Kanelo!…read more My wife and I were in Durant, Oklahoma, attending an early evening Graduation at Southeastern Oklahoma State (Go Savage Storm!). We got to town mid-afternoon and had worked up an appetite chatting about Tacos and Shrimp dishes on our 2 hour drive up from Dallas, Texas. We spotted an unassuming Mexican cafe called El Kanelo (Cinnamon) on 729 N. First Street, and stopped in, not confident we would like the place & food. We were swiftly seated in a large booth, ordered water with lemmon (for which we weren't charged) and were brought crispy chips and fresh, home-made, chunky red salsa. The decor was traditional Mexican with dark wooden benches and tables adorned with colorful Mexican pottery back boards. My wife ordered the Steak (strips) Fajita dish ($15.99) and I ordered the Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo (suateed shrimp in garlic, olive oil and citrus juice) ($15.59). Both (large) dishes were brought out within 15 minutes sizzling hot, with richly seasoned aroma of lightly burned peppers. My shrimp was tender, not overcooked and smothered in richly flavored garlic butter. My wife's ample steak fajita's were served on a bed of onions, bell peppers (paprika) and piping hot yellow squash slices. Here is our verdict: Ambiance & Service: 3.5 stars Food Presentation & Quality: 4 stars Food Texture & Taste: 5 stars Quantity & Value: 4.5 stars Overall, an exceptional experience. We each left with a to-go box filled to the rim! We are already planning to go back this summer. Put El Kanelo in Durant, Oklahoma (10 minutes North of the Texas state line) on your road trip list!

New location for this Durant stalwart, now has outdoor seating. We went on a Saturday evening, was…read morecrowded but still had 1 or 2 tables open. Free chips and salsa, the salsa is better than your average restaurant salsa. We also ordered Guacamole, sorely disappointed as it was just mashed Avocado with no seasoning whatsoever. We ordered the quesadilla and chile relleno. The quesadilla was good, plenty of chicken, no peppers or onions which was odd.​ The chile relleno was not chile relleno, normally it is a poblano pepper filled with cheese, dipped in egg batter and fried. Mine? Looks like they put steak on a plate, piled on cheese and topped the pile with a flattened pepper then broiled. The result? Leathery undercooked pepper, barely melted cheese, but well seasoned beef on the bottom. I've eaten chile relleno from coast to coast, first restaurant that served it without lightly frying it. We'll try it one more time, but so far the focus seems to be speed over quality.

I'm going to show you the best ones. Let's start with Caminos de Guanajuato Mexican restaurant, a top pick. A small family ran business with wonderful friendly accommodating owners and excellent authentic food that make for an enjoyable dining experience. The other positive is the reasonably close easy access to Highway 75. Pozole for me, chilaquiles for my wife. The pictures tell the story. Learned something also. The owner explained that in Mexico, traditionally a small bowl of soup is served before the meal, vs. chips and salsa. He served us a tasty little bowl of chicken soup, along with the chips and salsa. Ask for both and be sure to try all of the salsas.
