the interior of a restaurant
Spike S.

After spending slightly less than 30 seconds admiring the "World's Largest Peanut" located at the corner of Durant's City Hall, we were worn out and hungry. Fortunately, about 200' from the legendary statue is an excellent little Tex-Mex joint, the Salvador Cocina. (Tex-Mex , NOT Salvadoran) It is in a small historic building just a few away on 3rd Ave. Nicely decorated, comfortable, tables, no booths and bar seating if you like. #9 for me, relleno and a taco. My wife chose the one enchilada Lunch #11. Everything was filled with well-seasoned ground beef. A big beef filled relleno and a big taco on my plate. The enchilada had the good authentic red chili sauce. The salsas (picante and mild) were tomato based but well-seasoned; adequate. The service was excellent! A neat place to have a meal. We enjoyed our visit. Oh, don't miss the peanut.

Bar and seating area.  Late lunch time.

Shaky Start due temporarily losing my mind, wallet, and taking weird pictures and videos…read more Probably one of the best bar experiences I've ever had .. 5 star everything. Learnt a lot of the Cherokee Nation and how much they care about their people . Russell & Christine are 100 percent down for their community and company they work for. So open and free met some cool new humans. Stories of Richard Nixon, California, and Oklahoma greatness.. Such a interesting interesting family.. Diamonds in the rough I'll come again just because they honored my Veteran Status. My day was turned bright due to staff up in this place can't wait to come back..

I pass through Durant regularly going from Tulsa, OK to Dallas, TX. This trip was no different…read moreexcept 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!
