    Tacos (shrimp, fish and birria) with rice and beans
    Alice W.

    This small Mexican restaurant is an absolute treasure! The food is authentic and delicious; every bite bursting with flavor. There is a salsa/taco toppings bar with, just a guess here, maybe 8ish different options. A flavor and spice level for everyone! The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is welcoming and attentive. If you're looking for real, no-frills, straight-up delicious Mexican food, this is it!

    The Real Taco is so legit. It's looks like a hole in the wall (so you know it's the real deal). I got the 3 tacos combo and chose fish, grilled shrimp, and birria taco. All super delicious. I recommend putting some avocado sauce to go with the birria taco and also the beef dip that goes with it. The combo also came with rice and beans. The rice is one of the top Mexican rice around. Some restaurants shockingly make them terrible, but not The Real Taco! Beans are smooth and flavorful. Wife got the brisket quesadillas and holy smokes - it was amazing. Service was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend it!

    In OK for a work trip. Wanted Mexican food but after living in San Diego for thirty years I am a little skeptical when people tell me their spot is the best. This place isn't fancy at all and the service isn't over the top but the tacos were amazing! I had fish, shrimp and a birria. The salsa bar was great (I always mix the two green ones at places that have a bar), and the price was great. If I am ever back in town I would eat here (maybe daily!).

    Review of Glenpool location: we really enjoyed this place! They have great hot sauces in a buffet type area that has onions, cilantro, limes etc that you can however much you want. The green hot sauce was my favorite! They also give you chips and salsa. The salsa was delicious and was medium to hot. But had great flavor. I loved the chips because they were thick and not thin to where they broke easily. We got asada taco and quesadilla and pastor taco and quesadilla. The asada was really good but I was a bit underwhelmed with the pastor. It was really greasy and I didn't really like the taste of the seasoning. Service was fast and prices were great! We will definitely be back! I am so glad Glenpool has a really good Mexican food restaurant!

    We happen to be in the area after a meeting and I have read so many good things about this restaurant. I had three of the birria tacos. They were so good! the employees here were so friendly and very attentive. We got our food very quickly also.

    Authentic is the best word I can think of to describe this place! Don't be fooled by the outer appearance of the surrounding plaza, this place is a treasure. we drove 20 mins to give this place a try and it didn't disappoint. A group of 18 and we all had the same reviews for this place, we surely left delighted. The service here is impeccable, they are attentive and offer a genuine attitude. This restaurant owner really has great employees. Now the food, my goodness from the first plate to arrive at the table till the last, they all looked amazing. The food was full of flavor and was cooked with love. In the end, I highly recommend you try this place!!! Can't wait till I'm back in Tulsa so I can come by this place.

    100% legit and worth the 25m drive from downtown Tulsa when there are a lot of taco places in Tulsa ... 1) unlimited salsa bar with chips 2) carne Asade is the move 3) tamales please

    Went to Real Taco for the first time for their anniversary. They were busy and still we got great service. The owner checked on us throughout the time we were there. The food and drinks were very delicious! It was such a fun experience. They had live music outside. We had a wonderful time.

    Had lunch today and again.... The food was very good!! We all enjoyed our lunch, everyone was happy and stuffed to the brim with left overs to be boxed.

    I've read so many great reviews for this place, so today was my day to try it. Our server was super sweet, and she was the right amount of attentive. I ordered the birria tacos, and my husband got 3 kinds of tacos: shrimp, fish, and beef. All were delicious. We also had horchata, and it might be the most flavorful I've had. It's a clean and casual place, and I think we will be back.

    Red Tacos

    We had the red tacos they were excellent. We also had the cheese dip with pork in it. That was very good as well. I like the way they do the rice and we will be back.

    Great Yelp find! Red tacos were great! Love the small salsa and toppings bar. We chowed down on the diced onions and cilantro from the bar. Queso was delicious. Margarita was a tad pricy, but I hear it was good. . Waitress was very friendly. Nice little restaurant.

On this day we went between brunch and lunch so it was quiet. As they were setting up for lunch, a lot of tables had reservations signs on them. So, like I said, make reservations. For our meal we split salmon benedict and the spring salad. When we told them that we were splitting it, they brought it out already split, which was so nice. We never expect or ask restaurants to do that so if they do it's always a pleasant surprise. This place is cool because you can go dressed up but don't feel too out of place if you are dressed down. Although I will say that wouldn't dress down for dinner service. It feels like evenings probably a nicer service. We looked at the dinner menu and plan to go back for it. The food was absolutely delicious 10/10 Drinks 8/10 - I had cupids spritz and my hubby had the spicy carrot margarita. I would get mine again but he wouldn't order his again.

I recommend getting a reservation, especially at dinner time. We like to go right before the sun goes down because everyone claps, ring bells and cheer for another day gone! It is a good time. :) The food and drinks are good. What you would expect from a fast casual restaurant. My boyfriend likes the Smokey old fashion. It is a whole thing also with a lid on it at serving and then a bunch of smoke rises from the glass. It's fun. The servers are all kind and it is clean inside. You do have a view of the river which is nice.

For my starter I ordered "Our Nice Little Salad" this beauty was crisp, fresh, and had tomatoes that popped in your mouth and bursted with flavor. The in-house croutons had that perfect buttery crunch, spiced pecans added a unique boldness and the homemade ranch was thick and creamy. I will say I had to ask three times for ranch. I just kept waiting. For our main courses we had the bone-in pork chop. Thick, juicy, and properly rested paired with red mashed potatoes.... Which were very good. The seasonal corn - was gone so quick! It was just so delicious. Ate that right up!! The shrimp scampi leaned heavily into garlic and butter in the best possible way. Shrimp were big, tender and juicy. Unfortunately my rotisserie chicken.... was very dry. I kept choking because of that. I was unable to eat it, that was disappointing. As far as atmosphere... very warm lighting, intimate feels, candle lit, steady energy, attentive staff. The dining room hums with laughter and happy customers... but without overtaking the conversation at our table. The volume was comfortable considering it was a full house.
