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.

Casey, our server, said she asks for them to be fried extra crispy. That's what I'm going to do next time. I tried the rasin sauce. I asked Caley if the raisin sauce was good and she said she didn't recommend it. She was right. I had to satisfy my curiosity, though, so I ordered it. It's sweet like minced meat pie and really doesn't go on Mexican food. I scraped it onto the rice and it was okay. Next time, I'm going to get an extra crispy chili rellenos with cheese sauce on the side. Can't wait. Dan got lunch chicken enchiladas and substituted tomatillo sauce for the red sauce. They make a very flavorful tomatillo sauce. The restaurant isn't overly decorated. It has a spacious and comfortable feel. Instead of Mexican music, they have 2 giant TVs turned to sports stations with sound off and closed caption. The staff is very friendly and that helps create a warm comfortable atmosphere. Our server, Caley, was particularly warm and friendly. She gave us more than outstanding service. We tried Chimmi's today because they're on the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards list.

There were not that many diners seated (because, my god, this is a huge place) but there was a wait list. When I went up to put our name on the list, I didn't hardly get an acknowledgement, just a "We'll let you know." Finally, someone who must have been the manager showed up and he started seating people. We were seated and our server, while super sweet and apologetic, was very harried and scattered. We ordered drinks and he did go behind the bar to get them himself, so cudos. We ordered a small queso and had to remind him. He did bring us a large one to make up for the wait. The salsa was very plain--almost like tomato sauce with a bit of red pepper. Salt helped it. We always love their chile rellenos and we both ordered those. I also got a chicken enchilada and the chicken was really good. The last time we were here was right after COVID so I guess this is our five year visit. We will go somewhere else next time..... :( (I do love the kitschy, vintage interior!!!)
