What Eugenia Christiansen likes about El Rio Verde:
a true diamond in the rough. great food, great service. if they want authentic Mexican cuisine from the kitchen of the grandmother, then this is definitiw the place for them. the food is quickly served so much time for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. the restaurant is small, but this is a real cantina style kitchen that is relaxed and pleasant. great eating, relaxed and pleasant atmosphere with many parkings easy...

I'm sorry, I do not understand the hype. I think it's "Okay" Mexican / Tex Mex at a reasonable price, but nothing above average. I have given El Rio Verde a few attempts and did not have been impressed at all. I find her food to be gloomy, and lacks some kind of taste. Your salsa is like aqueous tomato sauce. I tried the famous wet Burrito and it was attractive. Mushy Nachos, Guacamole, was mostly other than avocado.... View all feedback.

I dare you..... .... to finish the wet burrito in one sitting. I was also surprised at how good their chicken torta tasted. Another one of my go to restaurants.

We like the the first even though it didn't have very good service. This time the food was awfull. It was too salty and hot sauce. Had to been different cook.

This Mexican restaurant in Tulsa has received mixed reviews from customers. While some diners were disappointed with the lack of authenticity in the dishes, such as flautas made with flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas, others praised the flavorful and authentic food, especially the beef fajitas. The prices were generally considered fair, making it a budget-friendly option for those looking for a casual dining experience. Despite some inconsistencies in taste and menu offerings, the overall consensus seems to lean towards a positive dining experience at this local spot.

The food was outstanding. One lady worked there for 25 years. They have old fashioned Mexican food that's got a Tex Mex appeal. If you want the very best...
