...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!

And used to create paddles used to bring disruptive students to their senses.

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.

[papaOU]

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

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 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.

You're not hoggin' the thread! Keep posting like mad!

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

[village idiot]

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.

Do you remember what was on the Boomer Sooner? Wasn't the Defeat
cheese tacos? Do you remember any of the other items on the menu?

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.
