What makes this restaurant unique:
This is a little restaurant on the corner. It only seats 18 people indoors, but has seating outside when the weather improves. It is under new management as of the end of January. They are only open lunch 11am till 3pm on Sunday through Friday and very late hours 11pm till 3am on Thusday through Saturday nights.
They have a pretty simple menu. Tacos (flour or white corn), Tortas (grilled Bolillo roll) and tostado (flat fried corn tortilla).
You pick from Steak in one of four ways...Dulce Calor (coleslaw, fresco cheese and lime), Steak Street (cabbage onion, cilantro and cheese), Fajita (onions, poblano peppers, jack ceese and sour cream), and Steak Dorado (poblano peppers, jack cheese and salsa).
The chicken recipes are more varied...Baja Chicken (onions, poblano peppers, jack cheese), Fajita (same as above), Street (same as above), Pina Pollo (pineapple, onions, cheese and lime), Pollo Carbon (chorizo, jack cheese, sour cream), Pollo Verde (onions, poblano peppers, jack cheese and salsa verde), and San Juan Chicken (Jicama sauce, avocado and cheese).
If you want seafood...Baja Fish (grilled tilapia, cabbage, cilantro, cheese and baja sauce), Cancun Fish (grilled tilapia, Jicama sauce, cilantro and avocado), and Shrimp Po' boy (shrimp with lettuce, pickles and mayo).
Any two items with black beans, chips and salsa, and drink is $8.50 including tax and any three are $10.70 with tax.
Tell us about your experience:
I had to get food for three so we tried the Steak Fajita soft taco, the Shrimp Po' boy, the Baja chicken, and the Pollo Verde. The total bill came to under $15. They gave me the chips while I was waiting with their spiciest salsa. The salsa was outstanding, I thinkas good as I have ever had. The chips were in a small bag and were way too salty. The food was very good. I didn't eat the steak (gave up beef for lent) but tried the other three. The Baja chicken was my favorite. The black beans were also very good.
I hated that they had styrofoam cups and styrofoam to go containers and whined to the employees about it. The meal took about 15 minutes to prepare and the employees checked in with me and offered good suggestions about the food. I used a groupon so the meal was only $8, but I will go back and pay full price again soon. The place is next door the Deco store owned by TulsaNow legend The artist and catty corner to Elote.
