    BG918,
    Didn't Mi Cocina start in San Antonio? Just curious. That's the only one I have ever been to.

    I thought it was Dallas. There are close to a dozen here in DFW. According to their website there isn't one in SA. Not to say that there is not a local, non-chain MC there.

    Skyrick,
    My mistake, I was thinking of the one at the Market Place in San Antonio, and I believe it's called Mi Tierra. It isn't a franchise as far as I know, open 24 hours per day.

    Yes, Mi Tierra is a local San Antonio institution and the Market Place location is their only one. It is one of my wife's favorite places and when we are in San Antonio it is one place we usually eat at.

For those of you that don't know, Chuy's is a Tex-Mex place in Texas (and a couple of other states). Some may not think it's the greatest place in the world, but it's head and shoulders better than Ted's.

    "Mike,

    My brokers are looking at potential sites in OKC for Chuy's. I don't have anything nailed down at this point, so it will probably be early 2012 before I have one open.

    Thanks,

    Michael"

    Chuy's = meh. Mi Cocina, on the other hand, is damn good chain Tex-Mex.

    Opposite, IMO, after trying both. Mi Cocina for about 15 years, Chuy's for a couple. Mi Cocina = pretentious.

    Amen. I would think especially Xoco would be a concept that is easy to put in other places than Chicago.

    To Mike Simpson, the author of this thread: Is Chuy's coming to OKC or Norman, or both ? I've seen this thread and the other in the "Norman" section. Thanks.

    I like both Mi Cocina's and Chuys. Both are great in their own way. I would have to say Mi Cocina is probably my favorite because I want Metro to think that I am a pretentious person living in a pretentious city. LOL.....................just kidding Metro

    If I was to pick the locations for a new Tex Mex restaurant, I'd look seriously at Edmond and Moore. Both are relatively underserved in that category, particularly, north Edmond. Forget NWOKC, too much market saturation, and you won't be able to compete with Ted's or Ables, both of which are excellent and have huge followings. Stay off of the Memorial corridor unless you have a truly unique and quality product. The demographics might attract you, but I don't know whether the Chamber will provide you with demos to show how many restaurants have already closed in that corridor due to market saturation.

    I don't get to excited about chains either. I'm more of a keep it local type of person. That said, Edmond and Moore particularly appreciate chains, so that ought to be something you strongly consider.

    I feel the same way about the location. Casady Square doesn't get much attention.

    I hate to say this, as I do like their food, but I have a strong feeling that this will fail.

    So anyway... Where is the Chuy's location opening? Specific - Norman (where) and/or OKC (&where?)

    Thanks
