    I had a steak sope and 2 steak tacos with homemade tortillas. Being from Chicago I was a bet skeptical, but this place did not disappoint!!

    Service was great food was excellent. Homemade tortillas did it for me!! I would definitely come back here

    Fajitas that we had already dug into

    If you like, and you are trying to find authentic Mexican food, this is your place! Flavors are magnificent. Puerto Verde was wonderful a little on spicy side, but I knew what I was ordering. Chili Riano's and fajitas are delicious. That was what we ordered at our table and I had a taste of all of it. Ha service was very tentative and helpful. The ambience is typical authentic Mexican joint which I would describe as friendly, a lot of conversations going on a lot of laughing going on you might get to hear somebody be serenaded with a happy birthday mariachi style rhythm they appeared to have a pretty good bar selection saw a lot of red beer being drank and a few margaritas and even a birthday shot of tequila. However, still a very family oriented great place to be.One other little footnote, the bathrooms were clean.

    Really good authentic Mexican food! I love their soups, it's rich, flavorful and packed the tender meat. Their guacamole was such a good size for the price. No artificial lettuce taste in the guacamole. Everything tasted great.

    The most authentic Mexican restaurant east of the Rockies. Incredible food and awesome atmosphere!

    This restaurant serves authentic Mexican food is sooooo delicious 10/10. The atmosphere is friendly and they have big screen tv and music in the background playing. The service was great, everyone was very friendly. This is my husband's and I favorite spot now. We been here about 5 times and we also order to go a lot.

    Flautas

    The food was SO delicious & I have been thinking about these flautas since we ate there! The staff were all kind & I loved that they had music videos playing on the tvs! Pricing was good & I can't wait to go back!

    Best authentic Mexican food around. Large selection of options, spicy plates are the best!!! Soft rice and homemade tortillas! Large parking lot, quick friendly service! Mariachis on weekends!!!

    under the table

    The food was great but the roach crawling on my leg was not what I wanted at lunch...I flug it off of me and was speechless. My husband went to the bathroom and i grabbed my phone just in case I saw it again. I was paranoid the rest of the time we were there. I could have left but I didnt complain I just didnt know what to do

    The best Mexican food in the land. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. The tortilla chips are made from their scratch corn tortillas.

    I'm surprised to see that this place is listed on here as permanently closed? I eaten here recently…read morewith my family, party of 6. There's a parking lot in this plaza, and we were seated immediately upon arrival. They offered complementary chips and dips (salsa and queso). We ordered additional guac. The chorizo queso is sooooo good! I ordered the birria taco plate and I'd say this is very authentic compared to food back home (California)! They were generous with the birria and the consome is chefs kiss!!! The staff did a wonderful job in assuring our needs were met and that we were satisfied. I hope this place is just renovating and hopefully will reopen in the foreseeable future. I would love to see this place continue to thrive!

    Doing four stars for the food. I would do 3.5 for staff. :(…read more I loved the salsa (fresh and spicy) and the complementary queso like dip. I loved the shredded beef enchilada! Really good and would order again. Rice and beans were probably above average. My dining partner asked how the chile relleno was prepared. (He doesn't like the eggy batter.) We were literally told that it came premade and frozen and was "just fried." Obviously, he ordered the street tacos instead. We sat at the bar and it took a bit to get waited on but the manager jumped in and gave us water and silverware. I liked my Blackberry-Rosemary Marg but I honestly didn't feel like it had much tequila in it. The regular marg was just OK. Since it is a tequila bar and we sat at the bar, I would have liked to have discussed tequilas but my bad for not asking. Would have loved to have done a tasting. The menu was informative. I would go back when in south Tulsa. Not sure I would make it a destination. (Well, maybe. Those enchiladas were good! It is a cute place.

    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.

    The food was mediocre at best. They didn't have A LOT of things on the menu and do NOT serve beer…read more They charge for the chips & salsa, so do not think it's free. ABSOLUTELY CRAP SALSA. 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. Have NO IDEA how they "got on the map" to begin with. Ambience is an afterthought.
