Mexican Cuisine
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.

Good service. Good fresh salsa. Don't remember the name of what I got, but I'd totally go back for it! Cons. No drink menu. I'm a visual person!

Armando and his crew immediately make you feel like you're part of the family. Great food, nice portions and exceptional, cheerful service. Ruben makes the relish. Big, lime cervezas go great with the Mexican comfort meals. Out-of-towners come visit and ask to visit.

I used to love eating at Chelino's. Most of the staff are friendly and accommodating. However, I can no longer recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food is bland and inconsistent. The salsa is never the same anymore. The chicken enchiladas have no seasoning. The establishment is filthy. The only good thing about Chelino's is the friendly staff. I wish I could put the staff at Chelino's at Mamaveca's, which has great food, but lousy service. I miss the Chelino's of yesteryear.

Best Mexican food and employees ever!! Prices are good, portions are huge, service is beyond excellent. Would recommend to anyone. We eat there frequently and they have our drinks out before we even sit down because they remember you and treat you like family. Salsa and cheese are free and the best around. Love this place!!! Have never had a bad experience in 10 years!!!

We just recently moved to Norman, and were looking for some close by and found this gem. Food is very good and service excellent.

Alameda St in Norman. One of the better Chelino's to eat at. Food was quick, hot and tasted very good. I had the # 21 tacos. Staff was friendly and quick. Salsa was good as was the queso & chips. 3 stars due to lunch menu seemed a little expensive.

I have eaten at a ton of Mexican food joints. This is one of the best. On the surface, it looks like a hole-in-the-wall, but looks are deceiving. The staff is very friendly/attentive. (They put a sombrero on my daughter and sang to her on her birthday) The food is outstanding. I ordered the beef chimichanga. Their version of beef as it turns out is very succulant steak. The portion was huge. (much appreciated) AND you get a cinnamon sopapilla with your meal. DON'T PASS UP!

Note: E NORMAN LOCATION Good with huge portions, but greasy & not great. Once upon a time, I swore by this place. Since that time, I have experienced much better Mexican food. Likes: The food comes out damn near instantly! They send in your order, & I swear it's usually like 5 minutes before it arrives! The portions are gigantic. With the complimentary chips, queso, salsa, tortillas, & (after the meal) sopapilla, if you finish you're entrée, you're quite the eater. They douse many entrees in loads of jack cheese, & the shredded beef is loaded into their burritos. The food is very tasty for the most part, though certain items may be lacking, & it's all very, VERY greasy. The food is also fairly cheap, though their prices have gone up over the years & now match most of their competition (though still cheaper than Ted's). I also typically like the atmosphere. I have always had great service at Chelino's, and that says a lot considering that I've eaten there scores of times over the years. I also enjoy the generally happy & fast-[aced environment in which they work, along with the Spanish music playing overhead. Occasionally, they employ a single mariachi guitar player to entertain the diners, which is always a plus. Of note, the Mexican beers and margaritas are particularly popular, though I have never personally partaken in either. Dislikes: As Chelino's is a chain, some locations are better than others, & they sometimes have particularities to their food. For instance, the one on north May in OKC has better shredded beaf than most. The one on Alameda in east Norman has poorly flavored beef for some reason. The one in downtown OKC (Bricktown) has fairly nasty chips and always serves ground beef by default in its burritos instead of shredded. Typically, their nachos are so loaded with super-greasy cheese that the chips near the bottom get soggy before you get to them. Their chips are usually not very good either, though it can vary. The tortillas are pretty basic & quite inferior to Mamaveca's or Ted's. Some locations have such high turnaround & such cheap tables (amongst other cheap fixtures) that your drink will literally move on it own on the table because of the grease & soapy water mix on it! Definitely go to Chelino's at least for the experience. The food is good but not great, but there is a lot to like about the place. Besides, really there are only maybe 2-3 better Mexican joints in the OKC metro, and you can find one of these virtually anywhere, unlike those other places.
