Love the food here! We come here every time we visit Tulsa. The vampiro taco is amazing and the staff are great! The beef cheek meat is soooo tender and tasty. Prices are very affordable and there’s a big parking lot in the back.

While passing through Tulsa, OK today, I finally stopped in to try El Rio Verde Mexican Restaurant after hearing several mentions of their famous “Wet Burrito.” Just a few blocks from The Outsiders Museum—one of my favorite little Tulsa stops—this spot is the definition of a “hole in the wall.” Honestly, it’s the kind of place some folks might pass right by without a second glance. But let me tell you—it was busy, and that burrito had been on my mind all morning. I was greeted quickly and told to sit wherever I liked. The place is small—maybe 16 tables—but it had a steady flow of customers. Chips, salsa, and a menu landed on the table right away, and I ordered up some queso and their well-known Wet Burrito with Al Pastor. The queso arrived first and was solid, then just a few minutes later came the main event: that big, cheesy, saucy burrito that’s earned this place its local reputation. It was loaded with flavorful Al Pastor and topped with melted cheese, salsa, a scoop of sour cream, and guacamole. Definitely a hearty meal. Overall? It was good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly worth a try—especially if you're in the mood for something bold and satisfying. I’d stop in again when the craving hits.

First impressions aren’t great. Old rundown building with gravel parking lot. But when we pull up and there’s 25 to 30 cars outside, you know it’s gotta be good. Once you walk in you can tell it’s a quaint old diner that’s been converted into a Mexican restaurant but still has the swivel barstools at the front counter. The menu is simple, one page front and back, but as I learned, it’s very authentic. On this trip, I tried the signature wet burrito with shredded beef as it comes highly recommended and a classic Mexican taco with Al Pastor. Both are out of this world. It left me wanting more as I couldn’t get enough of this authentic Mexican food and this little restaurant. It’s off the beaten path, but definitely worth the side trip to this little quaint restaurant for out of this world Mexican.
