    Memorial & May, now...

    (Unless they plan on keeping both open?)

    oh yeah... forgot about that. we usually stay near the 63rd street corridor, so we don't make it to poblano's so much since they moved out of their nw expressway location.

    Ted's is my favorite place, but Pepe's has been pretty good lately. I've been wanting to try Tio's, and then there is a place in Norman I'd like to try too someday.

    I've never been a big fan of Pepe's, however I had forgot about Acapulco's ... Our family would eat at El Chico's in Shepherd Mall (when Pepe was there) on Wednesdays and Acapulco's on Friday nights .. I was too small to really remember if I liked the food at Acapulcos, but I remember being more excited about Acapulco's (probably because of the sopapias!)

    I heard about the place in Norman called Terahumara -- I havent made it down there to try it, but a friend of mine loves it. I hope to try it out real soon!

    Eww, not a fan of Poblano at all. Decent queso, that's it.

    Some people freak out about Tarahumara's...I tried it and didn't see what he big deal was.

    There's a place in Norman that is pretty good in front of Lowe's but I can't remember the name of it. I had the ceviche there and it was great.

    I had dinner at IHOP around 10:00 last night and the lights were on inside the Laredo's and there were people working. All of the light fixtures were in and the interior looked like it was pretty close to being finished.

    Terahumara has a great name, but other than that it's fairly average.

    Cocino de Mino used to be good, but now their restaurants are actually physically unclean.

    Poblano's pretty much blows.

    i think we can all agree that when it comes to mexican restaurants, the dirtier they are, the better the food.

    Not in my experience.

    It is called "Mamaveca's" and it is real good! Also, very reasonable menu prices! Less expensive than Tarahumara's (and I think it is every bit as good or better than Tarahumara's).

    They put a sign up on the building last week, so they have to be opening sometime this year.....

    I drove by there last week after dark and they had some lights on so maybe they are close to finishing it. It is a beautiful building, I love the blue roof. I cant wait to see the inside. And I miss their enchiladas. yum.

    I'm craving some good old fashioned Tex-Mex from Laredo's. I noticed the sign as well.

    I predict a grand opening in February of 2010. Sounds ridiculous, but look at what has transpired.

    If it takes this long to construct the building, imagine the wait for your food!

    I think that February date is a bit optimistic.

    The sign did say Laredos, right? I'd hate for it to open as something else after all this time.

    My only gripe w/ La Luna is non-consistency. Have been there when it was great, but all to often not-so-much. As for Laredos/Pepes, if that is the ideal of Tex-Mex...

    You're exactly right. La Luna is Pop-Mex. When they are on, they are great!
    The same goes for Nino's. Nino's can be the best Tex-Mex in the world, but
    when a new chef is being trained, forget it.

    I can't stand authentic Mexican. It's so blah. By blah I mean blah.

    I'll take the chance on Nino's.

    I've never had a bad meal at Tarahumara is Norman. I don't visit often because of its success. I really don't like crowds, and it's often packed.

    Once it reopens, I'll likely feel the same about Laredo's.
