Calling all Foodies....
Are there any decent Mexican places here in town. I may be spoiled but the local Mexican food in general seems to be really lacking. I'm Jones'ing for some Colorado/New Mexico style Chili Verde what I have found out here is really lacking almost a watered down sauce. The stuff out West is almost a stew with lots of pork chunks and is served in bowl with flour tortillas. The wife's family is from OKC and they took us to Chelino's the other night and I had to force it down. Abel's (50th and MacArthur) was a little better and their Green Chili Salsa was pretty good but both places use what appears to be the same nasty cheese sauce on everything. I did find a little Taqueria in strip mall at roughly 11th and Rockwell killer tacos and tortas but no green chilli 
Food Channel Green Chili Link This link uses Anaheim Chilies however New Mexico Hatch Chili was the mainstay on Colorado. Let me know your Favs! |

Some of my favorite places are
Tacos Don Nachos - S Council Rd, about a mile north of Highway 152 Morellos - Moore - just south of 12th street on the west side of I-35 Alverados - Moore - in the shopping center on 119th and western Believe these addresses are correct, if not I apologize. These are some of the few places that have "Real" mexican food. There are a few others, but I would not recommend them. Outiside of my family's own cooking this is as good as it gets for me. |

Tag.
In my experience, most "mexican" restaurants are about the level of a frozen dinner from Wal*Mart. |

I like Casa Perico at 122nd and Penn, the food is very good and the cooks and staff are all Mexican so you know it's authentic. I don't care for the queso, it's sort of a watery white cheese sauce but the food is very good and margaritas are yummy. The sizzling fajitas are muey bueno! The salsa is good, not great but good. They serve you fresh made chips with salsa and queso while waiting, which usually gets me because the salsa is addictive and the chips are really good so by the time the food arrives I'm too full to eat lol. I don't know of any Mexican places in OKC that are just awesome.

I'm Jones'ing for some Colorado/New Mexico style Chili Verde The Mexican food we have in this area is Tex-Mex style, the style they serve in New Mexico is a completely different style of Mexican food, I have never seen the New Mexico style food in Oklahoma. |

Green Chili Kitchen in Yukon will be just what you are missing. I don't care for it but it is just like Santa Fe food.

Ted's= Chelinos=Cocina de Mino. Same ole same o.
people get used to something and it becomes comfort food. those 3 have been around literally for 30 years, what used to be good lives on after it's not good anymore. I'da put Chi-Chi's in the list but thankfully that ship has sunk.(probably capsized from lettuce) |

There's probably a few dozen AUTHENTIC Mexican places in the area north of I240, east of I44, west of I35, and south of Downtown. These beat Ted's, Ricky's, Tarahumawhateverthehell hands down.

Meh.. Actual Mexican food is pretty bland compared to Tex Mex from my experience.
You can get chili verde or chili Colorado at Tarahumaras. It's not my thing so I couldn't tell you if it is good. I recently went to Carlsbad and ate at the worst Mexican food restaurant I have ever been. The queso I ordered I think was pumped out of a nacho cheese can. The place I went to in Ruidoso was decent. They didn't have queso as it was more authentic Mexican but the quacamole and food was pretty good. |

Wife and MIL are Mexican This truck does have good tacos. I generally go to Tacos San Pedro for my taco fix. TSP's tacos are about twice as big as the trucks and about twice as expensive. Both places are excellent. I like authentic Mexican food, which I consider to be mostly soups and stews but don't know of any places to get the good stuff. I've sampled several of the small hole-in-the-wall places on the South side and they are hit and miss. On one visit they will have something totally awesome on the buffet and on the next visit there is nothing really outstanding. I always do the buffets because I like the variety. There's plenty of options down there for ordering off a menu. |

I am by no means an authority on Mexican food , but I love tacos . When I still worked at the capital I used to get lunch quite often at taco rico. They make really good tacos really fast. I could eat several of their tacos de barbacoa at sitting. The gent who owns it is Mexican and really does well with the tacos there. The rest of their fare is not as good imo but the tacos are first rate. Teds never impressed me to be honest. It's not as good as Tezmecal in Chickasha
