When someone asks me about Mexican food in general, it’s easy for me to get really specific about what it is that I like. When I think Mexican food, the only thing that comes to my mind are the dozen or so times I have kicked back on a beach in Baja with a taco [...]

September 24th, 2010 by Staff – Comments (4)
We knew it was coming but weren’t sure if we wanted a change. Fire Rock Grill & Bar has just added a Southwest menu which includes more delicious food and margarita options that have caused me to explore outside the norm. If you are like me you love a good weekday happy hour or Friday [...]

May 5th, 2010 by Brian McCullough – Comments (3)
Two of my favorite things in the whole world are holidays and vacation. First off, on Vacation I eat whatever I want and as much of it as I want. You may think that’s terrible but I call it “living to eat.” On that same note, one of my favorite vacations is to Mexico and [...]

It’s 4 am on Saturday morning and you are starving. I am not going to ask why you are up or what you were/are doing but still you are hungry. You don’t want to eat at the normal fast food place but you don’t want to go in somewhere because, face it, no one looks [...]
Fiesta Del Mar – Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
April 7th, 2010 by Jeff C. – Comments (9)
After a good exercise, I find that nothing beats getting a Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Camaron Cockteles). For those unaware of such a creation, it is not unlike a traditional shrimp cocktail, except the Mexicans put these shrimps in a more of a soup like base than a cocktail sauce on the side. Similar taste but [...]

December 17th, 2009 by Brian McCullough – Comments (7)
I never really expect to find a hidden treasure inside of a grocery store, but my perception changed this past week when I got invited to a business meeting in a very unusual place. When I first got the phone call to have a lunch meeting at Reasor’s grocery store in Jenks I thought to [...]

Beautiful weather, awesome friends, and sweet margaritas. It was a beautiful Saturday night and some of my friends were in town.

June 16th, 2009 by lbanks – Comments (6)
Wanting to introduce a friend to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, I took them to Campadres in Owasso. We went to a late lunch on Sunday afternoon. We got seated immediately which was nice. We ordered the white cheese sauce which is amazing especially if you eat it with jalapenos. I ordered a chicken [...]
Speedy Gonzales: Not Too Pretty But Oh So Good
March 24th, 2009 by lbanks – Comments (9)
Having been recommended by a friend, I stopped by Speedy Gonzales Mexican Food for lunch the other day. The restaurant itself is nothing special and it had always been one of those places that I would drive by without really noticing. I arrived at about 11:45 and the place was packed. I didn’t have time [...]

Qdoba has been a favorite of mine for a long time and I happy to say that I was not disappointed when I visited there again this week. My guest had never been to Qdoba so I suggested my personal favorite the Queso Burrito. This burrito is loaded with rice, beans, your choice of steak [...]

Cafe Ole’ on Brookside
November 17th, 2008 by Dr. Food MD – Comments (4)
I haven’t been to Cafe Ole’ in quite awhile . . . a couple of years in fact. When I went in the other day it was like I hadn’t skipped a beat and the food was still as good as ever. Ironically enough, I overheard another couple there telling people at yet another table [...]

This photo was sent in from a reader last week. They found it amusing that their Chile Relleno from On The Border in Tulsa looked like a Deep Fried Rat. They also mentioned that the meal was really tasty and the service was excellent.

You can’t miss this hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant, with its multi-colored building in electric orange and green colors.

Service is what to be expected at [...]
