Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with some Mexican specialties created right here in Tulsa. Here are a few of our top picks.
Andales
In addition to all the traditional favorites, this Tex-Mex cantina has several healthier options on its menu. Our favorite is the taco salad — a flour tortilla shell filled with lettuce and topped with cheddar cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo and your choice of chicken or beef ($8.79), or substitute fajita chicken or steak for an additional $2.29.
5966 S. Yale Ave., KingsPointe Village, 488-8800
Eloté
Located downtown in the former Nelson’s Buffeteria space, this Mexican eatery uses fresh, local ingredients and eco-friendly practices. Try one of the restaurant’s many unique dishes, such as the roast beef wrap with roast beef, Gorgonzola cheese, spinach, caramelized onions and chipotle crema fresca for $6.49. Or opt for more traditional Mexican fare with the chicken burrito, a flour tortilla filled with blackened chicken, black beans, spinach, cheese, tomato onion relish and white queso, also $6.49.
514 S. Boston Ave., 582-1403
Chimi’s
A Tulsa favorite for more than 25 years, this restaurant now has three locations. The mix-your-own salsa is a customer favorite, as is the chimichanga — a large flour tortilla filled with your choice of fajita steak or chicken ($9.99) or regular beef or chicken ($8.99), deep fried and served with rice and beans. Choose from Sonoran style, topped with green tomatillo sauce and sour cream, or enchilada style, topped with cheese or queso.
