Went for my monthly member lunch. It's in the back of a large furniture store. Very nice set up. Large bar with beers and island type drinks. There was only one person running it plus the kitchen, but she was doing pretty well. Ordered the Puerto Rican rice bowl with carne frita pork, dirty rice, friend plantain chips, pickled red onions. It's pretty good. I also wanted a bacon, chicken ranch empanada but all they had were the Puerto Rican which is ground beef and other things. I got tht. It was good. Not sure why they were out. They are closed tomorrow so they might just have run out and will restock. Took about 10 mins. They have big screens going with sports. Not my thing and at least the sound is down but closed caption on. Only reason for the 4 is the lack of what I wanted. read more

I stopped by The Fried Taco inside Mathis Brothers Furniture in Midwest City after church on Sunday. The restaurant sits in the back of the store, so walk past the sofas to find it. Started with chips and salsa. Chips come fresh and hot, made in-house. Salsa packs real heat with a nice spicy kick and tastes very fresh. I ordered the Puerto Rican beef empanadas; they delivered big flavor. I then ordered the two-taco combo next. The original beef fried taco stands out as fantastic, crispy shell, juicy seasoned beef. The Jamaican jerk chicken taco tastes good but runs a bit dry. Still finished every bite. Combo includes two sides; I added their soup and loved it, rich and excellent. Staff is super friendly and nice. They mentioned they are waiting for a liquor license soon, so drinks expand later. The restaurant is super clean. Worth the short hunt to the back. Go try it next time you shop furniture or just want solid tacos. You will leave full and happy. read more

We to the one inside Mathis Brothers. The waitress was very cool. Our food came out fairly quickly. We got home and everything looked good. The chicken bacon ranch empanada was good. Love the dipping sauce. The warm salsa was good too but just too spicy for me. It's a nice seating area and you can get some drinks too. Cool vibes. Love the suede chairs. read more

Meh. Not at all what it was hyped up to be. Decent food at best...probably never return.

The food was absolutely amazing. The service took a little bit long to get our drinks, but a huge rush of people all showed up at the same time. It's completely understandable. They handled it well. Plus, they caught up super fast. Then got everyone's food out super timely. It is authentic P.R. food. It was nice to taste P.R. food right here in OKC. We will be back. read more

Service was friendly and fast. I only tried the queso w/chorizo for an appetizer for our table. I thought it was better than average! The chips were thick and seemed more like flour tortillas but they worked well with the creamy dip. I would definitely try some of their tacos the next time I'm at The Collective! read more

I never knew about this place until a couple of days ago (it's inside the Mathis Brothers outlet). I've ate here twice now and both times it was REALLY good. I am a very picky person. especially when it comes to meat and vegetables, but here I am able to order the food exactly as it comes. The chicken is a shredded chicken instead of chunks and it's very juicy and flavorful. I think the prices are really affordable as and both times the waitress was very friendly & helpful. read more

Great food and service! Don't let the fact this is in a furniture deter you from going. The environment is great and the food was delicious!

I order off door dash several time and have actually had the one of the Owners as my Uber driver! They are my favorite taco place, empanadas, warm salsa, crispy thick chips even dashed everything is amazing. read more

The Fried Taco never seems to disappoint me. I've been a Stan for years. However, today was my first time trying the empanadas and OMG! It was insanely delicious. The bread was soft but crispy and the filling was flavorful. Of course you have to grab a lavender lemonade and guacamole. The only thing I don't love is now they give you ONE salsa for free (I had 3 tacos and 1 empanada) and .35 for each salsa after that. I should have at least gotten 2-3 free, but whatever. It also seems like their pricing has increased overall. They were never cheap to begin with, so maybe it was something I noticed this time around after the salsa incident. Either way, they still have my taco vote! read more

I went today and I won't go back. The chicken in the noodles was good but the noodles themselves did not work for me at all.

Okay-- I'm literally obsessed with this place! Love that it's inside of The Collective food hall. What more can you ask for, tacos and cocktails? Say no more! You order and then hand you a buzzer that'll let you know when your order is ready, then you're free to sit anywhere you'd like-- plenty of seating indoors or outdoors. They're about $5 each, but they're soooo delicious and loaded! The taco shells are super crispy, and can get a little messy but it's all part of the experience! The flavor combinations and tenderness of the meat, I promise you won't be disappointed! The service is quick and amazing! The girl behind the counter was helpful in deciding what to order. They also have house made salsas that pair so well. Yum!! read more

The food is fantastic! Employees are attentive and friendly. Very nice restaurant!!!!

We had The Fried Taco cater our job, feeding around 100-150 people, and I felt compelled to leave a review. I don't typically write reviews, but the empanadas, sauces, dessert empanadas, and taco chicken were absolutely phenomenal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and a huge hit with the entire crew. The quality and consistency at that scale were impressive. I would highly recommend The Fried Taco for any large event or catering need. read more

Tried The Fried Taco after not really being sure on what to eat. The pictures of the food were so helpful because the Pureto Rican rice bowl was amazing. The service was great, pleasant, helpful, and fast. The ambiance is very chill, a cozier food court feel. I ate my food before I remembered to take a pic, so just trust me. I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in town. read more

I've heard SO many good things about this place and I love tacos so I was excited to try. I ordered the brisket taco and it's pretty miniature so if you're eating for dinner I'd order 2-3 which will run you ~15. Each taco is ($4-5.50). The brisket taco was so tasty on a fried shell! I also loved the medium salsa with it. The chips were also freshly fried and the queso looked delicious but wasn't as impressive as the taco. I felt as if it was missing some spices or seasoning. read more

The fried taco is in the collective in I think it's considered midtown. It's location if your using google maps can be a little misunderstanding. Maybe put something like "in the collective". Maybe they do and I just missed it. They have a nice variety of taco that are the fancy tacos. We tried the brisket taco, chicken, and pork. Also we got some of The white queso dip. The dip was really good. Typically we find chorizo to flavorful and it consumes whatever your eating but there was more mild and you can even have it without it if you prefer. The tacos each was good for its own reasons. The brisket had a slaw on top that was really good. The chicken on was super tasty, the pork one was cooked just right so it wasn't all stringy and dried out like the turkey on nation lampoons Christmas vacation. Btw they fry all their shells hence the fried taco. I liked this and it also made for better reheating the next day with leftovers. Next time I want to try some of their punches with the Fruit they looked good. read more

Writing this as i'm still eating because OMG IT IS SOO DELICIOUS! I feel bad lol, A few years ago when I first tried It I wasn't the biggest fan, I don't know what I was thinking?!?!!?! These are so delicious and juicy and the churros are actually so good and they're filled with crème read more

The fried taco is hands down the best kitchen in the Collective. The food is affordably priced & unique. We hosted our high school 10 year reunion on the rooftop. I communicated with Rueben our budget, the guest count and times. Together we formulated a plan & they were willing to help us set up, refresh the food mid-way and tear down the food station. Thank you Rueben & The Fried Taco staff for catering our event! read more

The food here is a transcending experience, i've never cried from food before but i did from the food here. I personally would recommend the "cali burrito" without mango guac. I never thought I would see fries in a burrito, but they somehow perfected it. The spicy steak along with it was an amazing taste combo. I know it sounds like I'm glazing the food too much, but it is just that good. read more

Attended a wedding that was catered by The Fried Taco. The food was good, the empanadas were excellent.

Yummy drink and taco! I wanted to try them all. Unique flavor combos that work! Flavorful, crunchy and perfect amount of toppings. read more

There were quite a few things on the menu that I wanted to try, but I narrowed it down to the brisket taco and the chicken taco. Both were fried to perfection, but the meat inside remained juicy and very flavorful. I liked trying the different salsas that were offered as well, the pineapple one being my favorite. I would love to come back and try the chips and queso and some of the other tacos. They also offered some refreshing flavored lemonades that looked fantastic...perfect for a hot summer day! read more

Tucked inside of the collective food hall, the name itself intrigued me, but their in house salsas and agua frescas really caught my attention. Their tacos can be pricey, but after what I had, I feel they put enough attention and craft into their product that its worth paying for. Each taco is consistently fried to a lovely crisp that's not crispy as a tortilla chip, but much better than other peoples interpretations of a fried taco that Ive seen. The nashville taco is not your typical nashville style. The heavily caked on dry seasoning is nonexistent (which i was actually ok with). The pickles, spice, and pickles are what makes this "nashville" style. The chicken here is not dry at all. In first, its quite moist. To the point that its got that tuna in water consistency (which I thought helped rather than harmed the meal). The jackfruit is good, but was my least favorite. I was surprised by the chunkiness of the jackfruit, but there wasn't much flavor other than the seasoning that's being used and the sauce that you can use. I did like the broccoli slaw, which actually stood out. The chicken tikka masala was not your typical Indian dish, but i like that it didn't hold back on the spiciness. Could have used a little more yogurt topping imo, but otherwise worth getting if it's on the menu. They don't have it on their official menu cause it's really new, but the guava and crema empanada is worth getting. Possibly the most amount of guava I've ever seen in a pastry. Its like they crammed three guavas into the pastry. My only complaint would be the pastry dough wasn't as flaky or soft as I would have liked. Granted, the blocky sturdiness of the dough handled all that guava and moisture so maybe there is a silver lining. These are well crafted tacos that that shouldnt be passed on, even if youre paying a little more than normal. For being inside a food hall, this was quite impressive, given they are rocking the foundational ingredients they have. They arent shy with showing off their giant stacks of mission tortillas for the world to see, but how they use them is what is what its all about: taking raw or foundational ingredients and cooking up a dish that was better than those ingredients could have ever been. read more

I've never had a thing to complain about ordering from The Fried Taco. The food is made fresh, not fast (still a reasonable amount of time) I love tacos in any form and they truly do a good job. The drinks are deeeelicious. Not exaggerating; hence the caption. I'd catch them while they're open. Update: I mislabeled the lemonade. It's coconut and lavender. Still bomb. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a good while after reading their excellent reviews. My friend was in from out of town and suggested we try it out and I was all for it! Bonus-it happened to be taco Tuesday, when they have a deal of 3 tacos for $10. I am obsessed with jerk chicken and chose two of those tacos plus a Nashville taco. The guy at the counter let my friend try the Nashville chicken before purchasing and she opted out because of the high heat level. I decided to brave it because it was delicious. My body however, is still punishing me, hours later lol. My stomach feels like it has holes burned in it (dramatic much?) I would probably not chose to put myself through that delicious pain again but for those of you who have stomachs of iron and love spicy foods, you must try the Nashville taco! The Jamaican taco was fantastic! They are definitely not stingy on their meat! I plan to come back and get their white queso with my husband and probably just eat one taco. They are very filling! They have some awesome drinks to choose from as well! I got their mango lemonade and it was super delicious! I highly recommend. It is very sweet so don't get it if you don't like sugary drinks. This was also my first time at the collective and I was very impressed with the layout and large seating area including outdoor seating! read more

This was totally yum. I ordered the jackfruit taco which is their vegan option and absolutely delicious. It is barbecue jackfruit with a broccoli slaw vinaigrette. The jackfruit was spot on; there were no big pieces so I didn't think it was jackfruit. When jackfruit is left in chunks it loses something in the translation. They deep fry the taco after they assemble it and that is just pure yum mines. read more

The Fried Taco - Jackfruit taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Midwest city, Oklahoma

OH MYYY! These tacos are legit. Easily some of the best I've ever had..Best in OKC by far. It's flavors of the Carribbean, specifically Puerto Rico, and US of A fused inside of a crispy, pork fried taco shell. You know I am obsessed and very picky when it comes to tacos. These are as good as any of the food truck fusion tacos I've had in LA (probably even better). Lots of flavor, innovative use of fresh toppings and sauces, well balanced. Meats cooked perfectly..Pulled brisket smokey, tender, perfect. Nashville hot chicken, loads of spicy flavor, hot but won't scald your mouth. Yuca fries are breaded almost like a fritter, and they're downright addictive, especially when dipped in that tangy sauce. And nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day than that purplish colored coconut lavender lemonade they serve. Delicious! It was very nice meeting the owner Ruben at the Paseo Arts Festival. He sure knows his stuff. Very much looking forward to our next visit, probably when they're at Bleu Garten. Maybe on Tuesdays when tacos are 3 for $10. My advice, follow them on Facebook, check their schedule, then run, don't walk, RUN to get these tacos! They are that goddam good. read more

I've been here twice now to the MIDTOWN FOOD COURT location. 1st time was a walk in. Nobody in line and nobody at the register. When I was able to order, I literally had to wait 15 minutes for two tacos. This second time, I ordered online. Again, a 20 minute wait, but going to pickup was another 5 as the line was long! Granted, it's lunchtime on May 5th. I placed my order and was not provided any order instructions. Just pick up your order at this time. I don't know who the girl with the pink hair was/is but she made picking up the order a problem for no reason. "I need to see your order in the app." Ma'am, we got a text and an email. Nothing in an app, didn't and ain't gonna download an app. Begrudgingly, after showing her the email (not the text that confirmed) she allowed us to have our food that we paid for 30 minutes ago at this point. Let's get into the food: They're tacos, in very greasy fried shells. That's it. Nothing to write home about, literally. No stand out flavors, no whimsy. Just mid tacos. Not once, but twice. You don't get a 3rd. This review gets two stars because the coconut lavender lemonade is good! read more

I ordered The Fried Taco for lunch today via UberEats- after my delivery arrived I realized they have a website (thefriedtaco.com) that you can order from directly, I'll for sure use that going forward! I ordered a brisket fried taco, queso with chorizo, and a coconut lavender lemonade. The flavors were incredible, and the fact that this is a scratch kitchen is noticeable in every detail. Even the chips are crisp and fresh, probably the best chips I've ever had. The packaging made this normally messy meal simple and easy to eat, even delivered. The purple sriracha slaw blew me away, then when I added the trio of incredible hot sauces, the flavor contrast was perfect. The blueberry habanero was by far my favorite- highly recommend! read more

For being a small little joint in the collective, this place is Kickin with flavor! Order a carribean jerk taco and put the blueberry salsa on it. Holy crap. You'll thank me later! I probably could've ate 5 more of just those. The chips were so thick and crispy. The mango Guac tasted fresh, but the mango flavor wasn't really there even though it had chunks of mango in it. I anticipated it being more sweet, but still good! The chicken and rice soup had great flavor and would be something to really warm you up and make you feel better if you're sick. That just tasted like it was made from an authentic home. The avocado tomatillo salsa was okay, the pineapple one had great flavor, but the blueberry needs to be sold by the jar. I would go back just to eat that with some chips. Perfect amount of sweet and heat. Service was quick and the staff was very friendly! read more
