Ate lunch there today. Very good service. Excellent salsa and chips. The entries were large, hot and very good! I recommend the fajitas.

Are they a spin off of the 101st and 145th restaurant in B.A. ?

It was a couple of kids that started it a few years ago. They had worked at other places and felt they could do better. Very good stuff. And reasonable prices.

The entries were huge? Were the exits slightly larger?

All points of egress were enormous.

Spank, Conan!!
Entree's, then if that is what you want to see. (lol)
I only eat there occasionally, but enjoy it a great deal. The kids did good.
And why would the size of the building be a problem??? I don't get that at all... just may have to wait a little longer, I guess.

Small table by the front door. Tiny wait bar behind me. And constant foot traffic going by me and my wife. The wait was not the issue. I will say that is was right after they opened. The food was fine, but not on a five star scale to make me beat a path back. IMO

Cozy. Quaint. Homey. Almost rustic. Yeah, I grant you the small. It is. That kind of stuff can more often than not be an endearing factor to me. Like the "downhome" feel to little hole-in-the-wall places, though.
If you feel adventurous, try the "Green Parrot" on mainstreet Coweta. Food has never been great (breakfast is best) and can at times be pretty mediocre (any other meal), but it has an aura that makes it a regular stop for me. And it is small and cramped. Has seating stools along the counter on one side. Maybe it is the knotty pine paneling on the walls? Since Ms. Johnson sold out it just isn't the same, either, but I still go on occasion.

The Mexicali's this place replaced was pretty large inside. Sat a few hundred I believe.

It always amazes me when somebody closes an established restaurant/bar and then somebody comes up right behind them, opens the same type of place up (and maybe spends a ton on renovations). Take Dirty's Tavern on riverwalk. Somebody opens a another bar in the same place. Are you going to do it better than the person that already has several bars for several years? Probably not...

We went last week and it was really great food. The service was good, but nervous. I think we had a first time waitress but that’s to be expected in a new location. Far better food and service than Mexicali. A lot better than Ted’s too. I’ve been to the BA Compadres and it is tiny, but this location is large, as is the Compadres in Owasso.
As for the location being the same, I haven’t eaten for years at any Mexicali location, and have no intentions to start. But I probably will eat at this Compadres at least semi regularly.
Dirty's at the Riverwalk might just have been the dooshiest bar in town. Anything would be better than what it was.

If anyone is ever in OKC or Moore looking for Mexican food, you owe it to yourself to try Poblano's. Near the top of the list and no, I have no monetary interest in the place. Better than Tarahumara in Norman by a LOT.

The problem with Pablano's. And really any restaurant near it, is that you are eating dinner in Moore. And Moore has to be one of the most soul sucking places on earth. I get the shakes just by driving through Moore at less than 70 mph. It's a flat treeless mass of ugly unplanned big box stores surrounded by the ugly cheaply built track homes. Moore makes Owasso look good.
