Alfredo's

[ctchandler]

Prunepicker,
Southwest 32nd and Robinson? That was the first Mexican food I ever had and I never had any other till I joined the Navy and went to Tijuana, Mexico. I remember El Charrito from when I was around four to five years old.

The reason is because it reminds me
of El Charritos. El Charritos is, as far as I'm concerned, the watershed
of Tex Mex in OKC.

Hey, El Charrito may have been the worst Tex Mex in the world but it's
what I enjoyed once a month for years.

Is that new Alfredo's in the middle (bend) of the strip where Cocino De Minos (I might have spelled that wrong) used to be? Nice inside but no store front to speak of. Hard to see that there is a restaurant there from the street.

I just answered my own question by going there to eat tonight. It is not in the corner. The food was good, loved that corn salsa/relish thing they give you with the salsa and cheese sauce.

I'm guessing by the address that it's in the corner of that shopping
center on the SE corner of N.W. 39th Exprswy and N. MacArthur
where Cocina de Mino was.

I need to try it, soon. Right now my fave is Los Amigos a couple of
blocks north of Alfredo's.

It is not in the corner. It is along the side. It faces north about halfway down.

I tear that corn salsa up there...It's so good

I'm only a few blocks away. I'll look for it tomorrow.

And in the Palacios Apartments. We ate there about twice a month.
Jorge was the Maitre 'D. I thought he looked like Danny Thomas. I
saw him about 20 years ago.

I remember some of the the entree names. Each was proceeded by

The nachos consisted of about 12 chips with some melted cheddar
and a slice of jalapeno. We were fascinated with them!

The new Alfredo's is at 38th and McArthur. It is in the same shopping center but not in the same location in the shopping center that Cocina de Mino was in. It is about two or three doors to the east of Jersey Mike's Subs.

We'd stop by the El Charrto on south Robinson sometimes on Sundays and my mother would buy some tortillas which she'd use later in the week to make her own tacos.

When I was old enough to go to work with my dad some of the guys there would take me with them to El Charrito at the Paseo. Mr. Alvarado would be standing there at the door greeting every customer. To me he was the epitome of grace and gentlemanly stature. I imagined him as an aristocrat. And well remember the Defeat.

I got a flyer in the mail from Alfredo's.

[Prunepicker]

I saw the new Alfredo's location! I'm going to have a hard time trying
them since Los Amigos is only 2 blocks away. Los Amigos is some major
league Tex-Mex and is on par with El Charritos of old.

Our church has catered Alfredo's several times for Wednesday evening
dinner and it's very good.

[Urbanized]

Also, Casa Perico on 63rd & Meridian is pretty darn good.

Hear, hear.

[soonerguru]

We went. Really liked the deep-fried tacos but stay away from the cheese enchiladas. Not good. Service is very attentive and friendly and the place is quite clean. All in all, it was pretty good and I'll give it another shot.

[gurantula35]

I recommend the Street Tacos or if you like spicy, the Guiso Verde. soooo good. and make sure you get the sopapilla with glaze and instead of cinnamon sugar.
