After MANY bad experiences with this location we came back one more time on a busy Sunday afternoon and received very good service. The food was good and they had even added a relish plate with tortillas which was something I hadn't ever seen before. Good improvements.

We were seated immediately upon entering the building. That was the only positive thing about this meal. They brought out chips and salsa and some kind of crapy ranch dip. They no longer serve queso with the Chips. It is ranch dressing with blue cheese and chopped olives, they say. All we could tell was that it was ranch dressing. Who eats plain tortilla chips and plain ranch dressing? I ordered some tacos. They were incredible dry. The shells had been fried along with the meat. This made the meat dry and crunchy/crumbly. I definitely won't be spending my money here again. I don't like Taco Bell, but I could have gotten a much better meal there than I did here. I do not recommend others to eat here.

I have to disagree with a previous poster who called it "not real Mexican food". Having been to Mexico more than a few times, I felt like it came close. I was pleased with the food here. It was closer to authentic than most other places I've been to in the US, and the staff was really nice. Our drinks were always filled, our food hot and good, and we didn't have to wait long for anything. I would definitely go back if I ever was in town again.

It's not supposed to be an authentic Mexican restaurant, it's Tex Mex. I love El Chico, but I don't like authentic Mexican. They have the best chips and dip. There's plenty of real Mexican restaurants in Muskogee... El Charro, Chilango's, there's one in the mall, and Chavas. The service isn't always the best, but I'll always be a fan.

If a "real" Mexican restaurant moved into Muskogee, this place would close down quick. Many people who don't know what good Mexican food is will consider this good food. "NOT" ! - take a ride to El Paso instead, it will be worth the drive. Save yourself from spending your hard earned money on bad chain Mexican food.

Gave me the totally wrong order. Didn't try to make it right and give me what I ordered. All they said was we will take it off your bill so I just sat there hungry and the waitress disappeared. Customer service is crap!!!!

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
