Surely there's someone out there who remembers the "Spanish Rest"...


Wasn't that a hang out for the 1% Outlaws? I'm thinking it was. I knew a
few from that biker gang.


Don't ask...

You aren't old enough to remember El Charrito's on Paseo...Maybe El chico but, Unless you are over 35 you weren't there?????

Well if you are going to throw-in the Black Brick I am going to add The Deli and the Yellow Sub since they were on Paseo :banana: I installed some equipment in several restaurants in Paseo, but I can't remember the names of any of them. The names changed too often and too many times...

Well if you are going to throw-in the Black Brick I am going to add The Deli and the Yellow Sub since they were on Paseo:banana:I wonder if a non-adult drink bar like the Black Brick would work today? I have been tempted to open one, but I have doubts it would interest anyone except the really, really old folks posting in this thread.

Talk about a SLOP joint, Underwoods was a dirty nasty cafeteria style bar-b-que which went broke for lack of business!! You need to go back and eat at El Charitto's and have some REAL food!!

The last one in Oklahoma...There was a complete page in the old Thread about Crockett's. I don't remember where they were still in business though...

Yeah right, you need to put down the crack pipe and then maybe you will
remember just how GOOD Underwood's was.

Someone once asked me what I thought of Underwood's BBQ. My reply was,
"that was BBQ?" I just thought it was just a mediocre to bad restaurant.
After finding out it was supposed to be BBQ I changed my mind and called it a
terrible place for BBQ. This was the place on SW 59th.

I'm not joking. I never returned. I thought they made going to Crockett's
sound like a good idea.

Crockett's, Crockett's,
Mighty bad BBQ.

I was talkin about [sic Crockett's] the Southside you old codger...

There's still a Crockett's in Lawton, but it's doubtful that the same people
run it because the food is edible. They catered a gig I was playing down
there.

I think they only bought the location and the name and threw the recipes
away.

hi, bobby... enjoy your ban. -M

...but I did like the original El Charrito's which were bought out by El Chico!!

Excuse me if this has been mentioned before, but I think the lady who owns the Adobe Grill is the daughter of one of the muckity mucks at El Charrito. That is a quote from my husband, because he cannot remember the exact relationship. She was also the person who originally started Cocina de Mino. I end this with a big "I THINK".

The Oklahoma wind did it!

Here's a good topic.
What were the names of the dinners at El Charrito and what did they include?

I remember these, but I'm sure what contained what. I always ordered cheese enchiladas.

Defeat - cheese tacos?
Laredo
Village - everything. Wasn't it $1.89?
Explorer - I think that was the enchilada dinner.
Prunepickerlito - cheese stuffed prunes with chili con carne.

I remember when Jorge brought us a new thing called Nachos! A chip with
a piece of melted cheddar and a slice of jalapeno! WOW!

I believe the Explorer was the enchilada dinner. My best friend and I used to order an Explorer to share and would pool our money for a drink because we couldn't afford two drinks. She liked Dr. Pepper, I liked coke, so we'd alternate. She always liked the garnish but it was too hot for my taste. We'd eat there when our folks would drop us off for the afternoon at Shepherd Mall.

Norwegian Blue. Lovely plumage!

I'm pretty sure that the man who started Nino's came from the El Chico on Paseo (and maybe El Charrito, even). And that was our progression with Mexican food - El Charrito downtown, then El Chico on Paseo, and then Nino's on the south side. We tried to go to whatever Nino's Mr. Nino was working at (sorry, I never knew that gentleman's name). They were always good. Unfortunately, we haven't found a Mexican restaurant in ten years that is as good to us as those restaurants were - we just make TexMex at home and endure.

Is it my imagination (or have I gotten crabbier the older I get - YES) but does it seem to anyone else that the TexMex (or OklaMex) places have gone NUTS with cilantro?? I just can't stand going out to eat TexMex any more because of it.

To me Nino's was/is still one of the least liked. El Charrito can still be found in the frozen dinner section.:tiphat:

I'm still looking for a place that serves GOOD fish tacos. Guess you can take the boy out of the Deep Fork River but can't take the Deep Fork River out of the boy!! Lincoln County section.

Nino's, when the kitchen is on top of it's game, is very similar to El
Charritos. I don't understand the cilantro thing, especially in the salsa.
Too much is used. Maybe it's one of those 'authentic' things. So-called
'authentic Mexican' has a lot of cilantro. Some try to say that it uses
fresher ingredients. That's bunk. I've eaten 'authentic' made by real
Mexicans and they use whatever is in the refrigerator. DUH! It doesn't
matter how fresh it is.

Tex-Mex rocks. Authentic stinks.

I read, earlier today, that Cheever's has good seafood tamales (http://www.okctalk.com/food-restaurants/14035-cheevers-cafe.html#post215743) Since I
haven't tried them I can't give an honest report. BUT, notice that it's a big
but, the carrot cake or fried cheese cake will more than make up for it, if for
some reason the seafood tamales aren't to your liking. Cheever's rocks.

Sorry for hogging up all the "hey" here lately. Does anyone remember Great American Railroad restaurant?? Steakhouse, in a railroad boxcar thing. They had a tasty steak soup. Was one of "our places" when we first dated. I don't remember it being all that romantic, though. Well, maybe compared to Sizzlin Sirloin (probably my other option) it was like a night in Paris.

GAR was a very good restaurant! The 'Engineer' was a huge prime rib. Isn't
the Ranch Steak House there?

One thing I remember about eating at El Charrito's was they had a dish called The Boomer Sooner. I asked the watress one time why they didn't offer a dish that represented OSU, and she quickly replied: "we do, it's called the defeat"! Even made this cowboy fan laugh.

You know, I was originally going to say I thought it was over on Meridian food row, but then realized I was thinking about the Hungry Peddler (which I guess is Shorty Small's, now).

But May and Britton Road is the Ranch Steak House, right? I'm pretty sure you are right on the location.

And I think GAR is the first time I ever had prime rib. And I think I ate that first one for three meals (at least). That thing was HUGE. My twenty year old date had no problem packing the whole thing in and was eyeing my doggie bag as I got out of the car.

Jalisco, Saltio, and Jaurez come to mind. My favorite was the chicken
ench. in sour cream Or the big schooners of beer

I used to love the corn tortillas with butter at El Charrito's (and most other places in OKC). Back east, I just can't find the sour cream chicken enchiladas and I miss them, so much. The Queso is not the same, either. Most places in OKC offer butter with the tortillas but around here, they look at you like you are nuts. One mexican restaurant that we go to knows that I like corn tortillas with butter so they bring that out and the butter is in a dish, melted. I am used to the little pats of butter from OKC but really appreciate that they go to the trouble.

I have vague memories of Stampede on 63rd and N. May where the PetsMart is (or was??). Bull riding, video games upstairs and a huge slide from the top floor to the bottom.

There was a bar at that corner and I mean right on the corner. Southwest corner of 63RD and May. Know the name of it?:Smiley051

Charlie's Chili, some friends parents owned it. We spent quite a bit of time there. It was behind the former gas station on 63rd.

I don't remember a Stampede there, when would that have been? I remember Confetti's, The Zoo, The Plum and a few others but no cowboy bar there. I don't think it had the ceiling height to be a two story space in there.
