Had the best lunch ever - the fried shrimp po-boy taco was one the best, most interesting tacos I've had! The brisket pappas is flavorful and filling, the dole whip margarita is SO fun, and all the sides (but special shoutout to the crispy green rice and elotes style cauliflower) are bright and fresh, so tasty! Definitely not a traditional taco place, definitely a unique take on an array of flavors. It's happy, inviting, accepting, and a genuinely good time. If you don't mind the heat, sit on the patio! It's such a happy vibe!

our server was very spacey, took forever to come check on us and kept prioritizing other tables over ours saying he "needed to go check on the other table and would be back" but would never come back. It took over 15 minutes to get our check and cards back. We could see inside that he was doing other things and not getting our checks and used the "I couldnt get the salsa split" as the rationale.

The Grapefruit Mule is delicious and highly recommended. Everything else smacks of rapid service, as though everything has been on a steam table for hours. Service was not great missing our appetizer order and not offering additional cocktails. Not bad for a quick bite in the Plaza district, but both Barrios and Hacienda Tacos have better food.

Food was great and overall experience was pleasant. The waiter made multiple errors on our orders, bringing us the wrong food and not following out directions regarding splitting the bill. It seemed like the server was still training. Fortunately, all of the wrong orders turned out to be excellent food. C’est la vie

The service was pretty good, however they were out of a lot of drink options which drew us to dine in in the first place. The drinks that were in stock didn't seem to have any alcohol in them.

Mexican Radio was delicious! We went for a late lunch during happy hour and it did not disappoint. If you go on a nice day, you’ll have to eat outside—they have a great covered/closed patio. My main complaint is that the flour tortillas needed to be toasted a bit more. They were falling apart for most of the tacos. I’d recommend paying them a visit.

The food was good. But it is way too expensive. 1 taco is 4.00 and a regular plate is 12-16 and the portions are super small. I spent 75.00 for four people to eat and we did not have any drinks. I don’t think that it should be that expensive. You had to pay for chips and dip they don’t just give you one with the meal. Never been to a Mexican restaurant that expensive and the sides were extra. Probably won’t go back.

One of our favorite places! Great food and drinks….the empanadas are the best appetizer I think in OKC. Last night when we visited we were disappointed by our service though. We sat about 15 mins before our server came to even take our drink order. It could just be that they are short-handed! But nevertheless disappointing.

When we arrived the hostess asked us if we’d like to be seated outside and I said no because I had requested inside through OpenTable. She acted like she was doing as a favor and said well, just so you know you have to be out of here by 7:30 because I have another reservation coming in. So that was offputting right from the start. The food was fabulous, the margarita was probably the worst I’ve ever had which is so unfortunate, especially for a Mexican restaurant. I think somebody intended to make sweet-and-sour mix and forgot the simple syrup. I didn’t touch mine after that first sip. I probably should’ve sent it back but I’ve worked in the food industry before. AnyWho, the waitress never asked me if there was anything wrong with my drink and I didn’t say anything. So the hostess was kind of offputting and the cocktail was bad, but the food was amazing!
