Add "everything ," which means salsa, cilantro, onions, etc. to get the full flavor. The chunks of meat in the steak tacos are chopped more finely than at some other places, which gets them a higher score. It's easier to eat and not so chewy. The family running the restaurant has always been warm and friendly, and I've been eating here for many years. Be patient as a long line can appear suddenly. You'll be rewarded in the end with a delicious plate of food though, and they have 6-8 flavors of aquas frescas, which have become a new favorite thing for me. If you have a sensitive stomach (think hangover or sickness) the pepino aqua fresca will heal you. The water of life it is!

But, it was difficult for me to look past someone being extremely rude at the register. The ladies in the kitchen were super nice though! My burrito was mostly beans and lacking flavor for Al pastor meat. At nearly $11 it's tough to say this was a winner. Either way, the building was clean, plenty of seating, but sooo quiet. Definitely not your typical Mexican joint playing music with a joyful atmosphere.

The service was deplorable at best, as we had to request things multiple times after continued efforts at flagging them down. They WILL ignore you.

El Rio Verde is authentic Mexican food, not TexMex. It's in an older neighborhood near I-244 and…read moreUtica and doesn't look like much from the outside (or the inside), but the food is great! It's well-worn but clean. Staff is quick and friendly. The prices are very reasonable. You'll leave full, but not bloated. I've been a fan of El Rio Verde for many years and always look forward to eating here. It's not a large place and only has perhaps four or five booths and a half-dozen tables, and it fills up fast at lunch. They're known for their "Wet Burrito," but the enchiladas and burritos are also outstanding. The refried beans are fresh and made in-house. The salsa is freshly made too and very good, but not memorable like the food. You'll see people from all walks of life eating here - couples, single moms with children, police officers, business people, blue collar workers, and everyone in-between. If you want really good Mexican food that is not TexMex or from a chain restaurant, try this place! You won't regret it! One of my favorite places in Tulsa. However, as of this review, be aware that Utica Avenue, just east of the restaurant, has been blocked to north-bound traffic only for water main replacement, so getting into the neighborhood is easier than leaving. Plan to go toward downtown on the service road next to I-244 for most efficient egress.

Ah, well maybe that sauce isn't "famous."…read more Several very delicious things we found at Juanita's. The first is the meat she uses. Perfectly seasoned shredded chicken and ground beef filled the chimichangas. And they were full! Great taste. Not bland at all. Next, the red salsa that you have to ask for. The salsa that comes out with the chips is good, but ask for the hotter salsas and you will get a green salsa and a different red salsa. The green salsa is the tomatillo and jalapeno. The different red salsa has a prominent, fresh, lime, cilantro, onion flavor, with red chili flakes, blended with tomato sauce and typical Mexican seasonings. It was an absolute match for the chimichangas with the "famous sauce." And, lastly was the "famous sauce." Juanita's description of her chimichangas ends with "and topped with our famous sauce." That got my interest. I asked the waitress what it was? She seems puzzled, so I pointed at the description on the menu. Her response, "I didn't even know the menu said that." Me," So much for famous." We both got a laugh out of that. Okay, the "famous sauce" is queso that comes on the side for the chimichangas. It may not be famous, but it is excellent! Overall, very good food, at a bargain!!! Right now, many of the Daily Lunch Specials are $6.99. So, for a $20 bill and nickel two people can eat a great Mexican food lunch at a steal of a price. (Be sure to tip!) The sauce may not be "famous," but it is a little more famous now that "you" have read this review.

I am not a fan of corn tortillas, however I love these, they are like a medium pizza. Is the food pricy, I don't think so not any more than other places.

I have been going to this place for more than 6 years. I like it. It stays the same. Thank you

first I am big fan of local family owned businesses, and believe in supporting them, when they…read moreprovide good food or product at a fair price, and good customer service. sadly, el gallo loco, was sooo disappointing in sooo many ways. 1) after reading the reviews, called and lady answered, started to talk and she hung up on me. called back and the same thing happened again, she hung up on me again. because of good reviews, drove there to enjoy some "authentic mexican food". 2) walked into the restaurant that is combination restaurant/grocery store. the back, where the menu is on the wall, (no table-side service), the entire menu is in spanish, but with u.s. dollar prices listed for each item. since I only spoke english, come to find out that "only one lady spoke some, very little english". after some awkward attempts at communicating, I understood there was an entree offered, comes with beans and rice, and choice of 2 meats (choose from the variety of items in metal warming trays, behind the plexi-glass in front of me, choices were 5 or 6 that were pork based, 1 beef, and 1 asiago steak, 1 zucchini based, and 1 potato based. but "no chicken" offered, none. ("never" been to any mexican restaurant that did not offer at least 1 kind of chicken dish, usually more than 1 kind of chicken dish) so got the entree, got extra portion of rice to substitute out for the refined beans, got the zuchini, and the beef (since, there was "no chicken", and don't eat/like pork), cost $12.99 3) the food review. sat down to enjoy my plate of food at a table. the rice was very bland, no flavor at all, the zuchini was overcooked and too mushy, the beef was extremely dry (like was old, or been cooked way too long) and beef had no flavor. asked for glass of water, and the lady took me to a sliding glass door cooler, and handed me a bottled water. ok, maybe all the water glasses were dirty. 4) the customer service. this was very weird and bad service. here's what happened, went to use bathroom 2nd time, came back from using the bathroom, and to my shock, my plate with 1/2 of my food left was gone, and so was my 1/2 bottle of water. all completely gone. they had cleaned off my table and dumped my food. what makes me sooo angry, is they saw me go to the bathroom, knew was still there, cause you pay for the food after you eat and get ready to leave. (good restaurants, never clean off your table, that still has food on it, when they know you just went to the bathroom. good restaurants, always wait to make sure the customer or customers have finished eating, and left their restaurant, "before cleaning off your table") so went to the cashier, she rang up and charged me for the entree for $12.99, and handed me ticket/receipt for total $17.95. why is it $17.95, the entree was $12.99, why charged extra $4.95? came to find out they charged me $2.99 for a regular "wal-mart size" bottle of water, the rest was tax. there is "no complimentary glass of water". (the bottle of water cost them 50 cents at the most, probably less, much less, cause you buy the bottled water in packages of 40 bottles each per pack. I know what it costs them, cause I buy bottled water, same size of bottled water) they are charging $2.99 for bottle of water that costs them, say 50 cents. that means they are MAKING $2.49 PROFIT ON EACH AND EVERY BOTTLE OF "WALMART SIZE" BOTTLED WATER THEY SELL. absolutely ridiculous, to be over-charging for bottle of water, and taking advantage of people". 5) final overview. I ended up paying total of $17.95, for "authentic mexican food" that had no flavor, can get better tasting food for lot less money at "taco bell". (NEVER been to any sit-down at table restaurant that did not ever offer "free complimentary glass of water") all "authentic mexican food" family restaurants that have been to in tulsa, oklahoma area, have made the effort and gone to the trouble to learned to speak enough "english", so as to be able to communicate with their "english speaking" customers. (if you are going to move to oklahoma, and going to live and work here, it is your responsibility to be able to communicate with those living here. if that means, you don't know how to speak "english" then you find ways to teach yourself to speak "english", to be able to communicate. sadly, "el gallo loco", family-owned business, does not offer good food, does not offer good value, and has horrible customer service. I will never go back to eat at "el gallo loco" restaurant again. sorry for the very long review, but wanted to be thorough, since the reviews are 4, 5, and 6 years old reviews. possibly save you from having the same frustrating, horrible experience like I had, and possibly save you from wasting $17.95 customer beware, and stay far away from this supposedly "authentic mexican food" restaurant.

The gordita was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Filled with nicely seasoned carne asada, the red and green salsas were a nice complement. Both salsas packed a nice level of flavor and heat. The tacos were the 3-4 bite variety but also excellent. I had one each of chorizo, al pastor, and carne asada. Each was served with diced onions and cilantro. The grilled onions served on the side were a nice addition. The rice was fluffy and the refried beans had a nice rustic texture, not runny like at some places. Out of a possible 5 tacos, I'll give it !

Indios Verdes Restaurant "La Casa De Las Tlayudas"…read more How long has it been since you had a big 'ol Tlayuda? Well, that's too long! Huh? What's a Tlayuda? It is a large, very large crunchy flour tortilla grilled to a slight char. You can smell, see, and taste the char of the flour tortilla. Yes, on purpose. This one filled an 18" aluminum pizza pan. The charred tortilla was covered with refried black beans, sliced cabbage, avocado, tomato slices, and a grilled serrano. Mine ordered with chopped grilled chicken. It was also supposed to have, Oaxaca cheese, carrot and onion; all missing! Something went wrong in the kitchen..... This the lightest, healthiest Mexican dish I have ever had. As you would expect, light, healthy means bland. And it was. The missing ingredients made it even blander. Salsa to the rescue! Indios Verdes has very good salsa. The tasty red that comes with the chips, and the plastic squirt bottles of red and green that are a staple of authentic Mexican restaurants. A liberal application of all, was necessary to give my taste buds something to do. Not a top choice for a diner with a palate tuned for OkieMex. You don't know until you try it! Now you know! My wife went with the Wet Burrito. A large flour tortilla filled with beans, rice, steak and oddly, lettuce; not mentioned on the menu. The very grislily chopped steak was unseasoned. Tasteless and chewy. Except for the very good authentic red sauce, the burrito was disappointing. So much so, that my wife gave up on the burrito to help me with my salsa covered Tlayudas. The service was excellent. Only one friendly young lady with a beautiful smile was doing everything; cooking and serving us while prepping ingredients for the restaurant's evening dinner meal. Her other duties may have contributed to the missing ingredients on the Tlayuda. Next time your cousin from California starts shooting their mouth off about their "Authentic Cali Mexican Food" just ask them, "What's the biggest Tlayuda that they have ever had?"

First time we ate here it was served on a platter, second time it was served in a pizza box. SThe crazy box, as it was called, also included chips and salsa, pickled onion and carrot, radish, grilled onions and limes. This DOES NOT include drinks. You choose your meat, we did half carne asada and half carnitas. Tacos were good and fresh, and if you have 4 hungry people, this is a good deal. We ate inside, and they have a nice clean eating area, fountain drinks, refrigerated bottles and a couple of TV's playing Latino stations. There is also a food truck across the parking lot that serves the same menu as the brick and mortar shop. One caveat, the lady working behind the counter and didn't speak English and struggled to communicate with us. Drinks aren't a bargain...so drink water or be prepared to pay.
