    Massive order of nachos
    Ray N.

    I pass through Durant regularly going from Tulsa, OK to Dallas, TX. This trip was no different except I had a group of guys and we were on our way home from a fishing trip on Lake Texoma. Mind you, we're all regular guys, but each of us are uniquely well travelled as professionals in our fields. On our way home we saw a couple of billboards that called this restaurant out as nationally acclaimed. None of us had been here before so we thought we'd try it out. We all were served hot food and left with full bellies, but much was to be desired. I am not here to speak poorly of this locally owned and operated dining establishment but I'll say it did leave much to be desired. The service was good however. I must say the hostess seated us promptly and our server was friendly but that's about as good as it got for me. The restaurant itself seemed oddly dim or not lit very well. We were in around 1 PM on a Saturday and it was, well, dingy. The menus were falling apart, our table and chairs didn't look like they'd be in use much longer and the overall appearance on the side wasn't much better. The food did come out piping hot as expected for a Mexican restaurant. I'll give them kudos for that. The food we all had though wasn't all that good despite the gargantuan portions. They do give you a ton of food here. One friend ordered a 'small' plate of nachos and I think 3 of the 4 of us could have filled up on that alone! Everything to me tasted canned and not fresh. This for me takes away from any dining experience. I like freshly prepared food. I am good with canned if it's done well and doesn't at least taste like it's fresh from a can or bag or from the freezer. So overall, this wasn't a horrible place to eat, but I had higher expectations. Odds are I won't stop in here again, but don't let my opinion alone be a reason to not try this place out. I'd encourage anybody to stop in and give it a whirl. You may like it where I didn't. And take advantage of the free queso for checking in on yelp!

    They have the best cheese enchiladas! Also good: tacos, guacamole, nachos, and rice.

    The General Manager!  Charlotte.

    Oh my, a really friendly bar! Got away from the Coctaw casino for a bit and found this gem! The General Manager walked right up and introduced herself as Charlotte and made me and my brother feel right at home. 4 miles from the Choctaw and we found ice cold beers at half the price. Highly recommend! Oh and the world's largest peanut is a few blocks away in front of city hall.

    Stopped in based on it being the only restaurant in Durant with a review on Yelp. Upon seeing lots of police cars in the lot, I knew it must be a good restaurant since they eat out a lot and I would think would go to good places. The dish to get is the one they label their best seller, the Fireman's Special, which is either chicken or fajita steak over rice with queso on all of it. Trust me, the queso soaks in to the rice making it so delicious. I'm considering asking local tex mex places to try and make this dish.

    Situated on the main drag of Durant, Oklahoma, Salita's looks fun from the outside with separate entrances for the restaurant and companion bar, Saluter's. With a Tex-Mex selection of burgers and enchiladas, the menu is likewise fun, including dinners such as Labor Inducing Tacos, Mark's Mess and Popeye (you guessed it, that last one involves spinach. I'm not sure what the first one involves.) There is a pretty fair selection of the usual, various combination plates, fajitas, quesadillas, etc. I went with the El Marco - two enchiladas and a taco. Service was fast, polite and seating on the patio provided a nice view of the sunset and passing traffic. The taco was okay - sort of like Taco Bell with slightly better meat and trimmings. The enchiladas didn't fare much better; same type of pasty ground beef and a stick of jack cheese in the enchiladas. The bland refried beans and taste-free rice actually elevated the meal somewhat. On the margarita scale from 1 to 10; 1 being " this rocks the salsa" to 10 being "Christ Jesus get the taste out of my mouth", it gets a 5. Having said that, I literally didn't finish my meal for fear of bad Taco Bell flashbacks. Thank God for cilantro and guacamole, the condiments that care. There might be more to those comical entree names that meets the eye.

    This was part of my child's chicken strip that was as hard as a rock.  There was no way that my 5 year old daughter could eat this.

    This used to be my favorite Mexican place. They have been bought by another local place that went under and i can tell you it's probably not gonna be long before Salita's goes under. The food was definitely not the quality that we had with the original owner! My quesadillas were cold, my husband's enchiladas tasted disgusting and my daughter's chicken strips were sent back because they were almost burnt and too hard to eat. When they came back out they were the same... the grease they were using needed to be changed. The waitress was nice and told us that we would not be charged for the child's chicken or our drinks but even at that, for two dinners and a child's enchilada, it was almost $50!!!! Unfortunately I'm done with Salita's or Sport's City. Take your money elsewhere.

    I've been here a couple times with family. Grew up on Tex-Mex in Ft. Worth. I'm not saying I'm a expert, but the food is decent. My parents had the enchiladas, they said they could have a little seasoning in the meat. I had the Chili Relleno this time. It was very tasty. I was wishing there were 2 on the plate! But I did get the lunch special, and I really didn't need 2! The rice and beans where about the same as they are everywhere. Chips and salsa where good. The service was ok, I had to stop someone to get a refill on my tea.

    A friend and I stopped in for a late lunch, we were seated immediately by a very friendly hostess. Through my Yelp check-in and we received free Queso along with our complementary chips and salsa. I love Chili Relleno's so asked if the Chili Relleno's were homemade and the waiter said they were frozen - he was not sure if they were homemade then frozen or bought from a vendor. He said the tamales were homemade, so I ordered the tamale plate without rice. My friend ordered the Chicken fajitas. When our order came out it looked and smelled good, they were very generous with the chicken fajitas, my friend said very tasty and happy with her lunch. The tamales were a huge disappointment, they looked and tasted like Hormel canned tamales - one bite, and there was no way that was homemade. When the very nice waiter came back to check on use, I told him I did not like the tamales - he asked if I would like something else, I did not so he removed the tamale plate from our check - that was excellent customer service.

We arrived and got seated, the waitress was plenty friendly, made suggestions, made sure coffee cups stayed refreshed. However the food just seemed to be lacking. We ordered the biscuits and gravy and literally it was a biscuit with white gravy no sausage or seasoning that could be tasted. I had specifically asked that the hashbrowns be cooked crispy. However what was served was far from that. The skillets were more like a scramble. The creamer container was filthy where the server ended up taking the container from the table. We were asked if we wanted to go containers which we declined. It just didn't meet our expectations based off the reviews we had read nor the recommendations given to us, to which we left disappointed. We can put this on the been there, done that list.

    Date of visit: 8/8/26. The food is good, and the staff is wonderful!…read more This review is being giving because my server, Mo and the manager, Allison deserve the recognition. From the moment my husband and I sat in Mo's section, Mo was friendly, personable and attentive. I drink a lot of water with my dinner and not having to ask for refills was great. Mo was on top of it the entire time, all while still ensuring her other customers had what they needed too. This visit was prior to the doors opening for Kane Brown's show. They were very busy but yet Mo still managed to make me feel like I was the most important customer (I observed her doing this for all her customers). Very pleasant and very efficient! Greatly appreciated. When it was determined that my host did not have a chance to add comp for my dinner, Mo offered to try to take care of arranging it on her end. This service has never been offered previously by any other staff member at any location at Choctaw. When Mo was unsuccessful (to no fault of hers!), Allison tried. Not only did Allison try, she also came over to explain all the details and all with a smile! In the end, I went to the Rewards Club, but Mo and Allison tried really hard to resolve for me. Exceptional service by Mo and Allison from the moment we walked in until we left. Thank you!

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.
