When we walked in I said to the hostess " why is it so smoky in here"... her response and I'm not kidding..." we do a lot of cooking" I should've left then but I needed my Mexican food fix!

I couldn't eat it. the rice and beans on my plate were hours old like what came with the fajitas. the kids barely ate the fajitas and my kids like food. they usually demolish fajitas... so our family of 6 all decided this was a horrible experience and we will not be returning. to top it off, we had an $87 bill for the horrible food.

Basically, located in the parking lot of the First Christian Church. So, hang tough. When the sermon is over a cold margarita is within walking distance. Or better yet when the singing starts, slip over early to the restaurant and save a table for the family. It likely gets crowded as soon as church lets out. The menu is laid out very well, easy to navigate. Full spectrum of Mexican dishes, lunch combos or make your own combo. The service was adequate, the food was excellent. Most all decent Mexican restaurants have a dish called "Mexican Flag," "Bandera" or "Enchiladas Mexicana." When trying a new Mexican restaurant, one of those is a good choice. You get a variety of meats and sauces. A sampling of the house's cooking skill and recipes. That was our choice today, the Enchiladas Mexicana. Check the menu pictures for description. The salsas were magnificent, the Enchiladas Mexicana flavorful, the beans perfect. It was a great meal. If you are traveling the "Mother Road," Route 66, eat Mexican food here.

It is a duplicate of ones I have written hundreds of times before. Before you scroll on to something else though, here is a summary. This is what I call a good solid Mexican restaurant. The food is nicely spiced, the portions are decent, as are the prices. The service is good, the restaurant is clean. If you are on "The Mother Road" and need a burrito fix, feel comfortable pulling in here to experience authentic OkieMex food. They can provide beer and drinks, and the menu is several pages of fine print, covering all things Mexican food. You will find a meal to appease your hunger. The structure looks like an old McDonalds. Pull in park, and eat. Simple. Our waiter, a tall individual with a stoic demeanor seated us in a booth of our choice. Chips and salsa followed and I requested the mandatory salsa picante. Good mild, flavorful salsa and a good bite from the salsa picante; blended together they made a perfect salsa. I had the Enchiladas Verde and my wife selected a combo plate: Beef Taco, Beef Enchilada, both plates with beans and rice. My wife tried to sneak in on the lunch special, but it was slightly after 3pm and the waiter wasn't allowing any exceptions. Nicely spiced ground beef in the food, good beans and rice. It is good Mexican food. Eat Here! We enjoyed the meals.

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!

I really got a kick out of the ladies room pics of cats. I wish I would have gotten a peek at the mens room which I'm sure had more pics of dogs. I love the sense of humor.

I hit the door right at 11:45 and was promptly seated, swapping a menu, chips and salsa for a drink order and a small queso. The menu is reasonably large, but not overly so. Plenty of options to choose from for almost anyone. I'd already seen they had Chile Verde on the menu, so I zeroed in on that like a fat dog on a chicken leg. Almost immediately, the queso hit the table. The salsa was out of this world good. I seriously almost ordered a pint to go, it was so good. Not hot at all, but rich with tomato flavors and subtle heat and spices. The queso was thin, and stayed workable throughout the meal, which is a huge plus for me. Flavorwise, it was slightly rich, very Monetery Jack flavored with noticeable hints of jalapeno. Great queso. My entree hit the table quickly, while I was still face deep in queso and chips. Beatifully plated, I hoped the taste lived up to the appearance.... and it did. While it was all good, surprisingly the rice turned out to be the unexpected star. It takes effort to make a simple rice dish standout like this. Light and fluffy, the flavor was borderline intense, for rice. It had a hearty undertone that I couldn't place, but I loved it. A lot. Nothing but rice... no corn, no peas, no nonsense, no kidding. The Chile Verde was outstanding. Probably one of the top three I've had in the area. Not sure if they slow cooked the pork with the sauce like is proper, but if I can't tell, then I'm not gonna care. The meat was properly shredded, tender and moist, and full of both meaty and saucy flavor. The beans were also really well done. Well colored (not gray), and with some noticable flavoring in the chile powder spectrum, I dipped chips into them until they were gone. Overall, nothing about my experience was less than great. My server was amenable enough, but didn't really engage in any interaction. No issues there, just a difference in styles, that didn't detract at all. With the queso and an iced tea, the bill was just over $22, and for what I got, I came away quite satisfied.
