Since we returned to OKC after eight years away, we've been doing a lot of house-hunting ALL over town. It has resulted in seeing a lot of areas we used to frequent in our younger days...leading to "What was that place...?" You did a great job on my question about what turned out to be Lynn Hickey Dodge. Here's my latest challenge:

On Reno, west of Meridian, was a restaurant with outside decor that looked like a bus was stuck in the wall. A Mexican restaurant maybe?

Thanks!

I miss that place. I used to work close to there, and we would eat there at least once a week. I loved that it was a Mexican restaurant with a buffet.

Used to go upstairs there to drink beer and shoot pool after work in the mid 80's

I worked there as a bartender in the late eighties and was bar manager there in the early nineties for awhile. Did great business but the building was in horrible shape.

Was El Zocolo the same restaurant prior to becoming Texanna Reds? Often ate at El Zocolo but not Texanna Reds.

Yes, it was El Zocalo until 1983.
