After hearing so many good things, I decided to try Ted's a couple of nights ago. We went in about 8:30ish and were greeted and seated immediately. We were served with chips and salsa, as well as queso, upon being seated. Our server then brought us warm tortillas as well (all of which were complimentary). Everything tasted great and freshly made. I ordered the Steak Tacos Carbon and my girlfriend ordered Enchiladas. The food came out very quickly, almost like it had been waiting for us to arrive. The steak in my Tacos was super flavorful and very tender. There are several side items to choose from other than the traditional rice and beans. We both had rice but I had Mashed Papas (potatoes) and my girlfriend had Corn Crema. Her Corn Crema was amazing. I could have eaten an entire entree of it. The food was fantastic. Our server was named Josh (I think), and he took excellent care of us. He was quick with everything and very personable. He offered us complimentary Sopa Piaz, but we were so full we had to decline. He then offered to pack us some To-Go so we could have them later. The only negative I can say about Ted's is that the prices per entree are a little bit higher than you would find at other mexican restaurants, but when you factor in all the complimentary items, you are getting a pretty good deal. We will definitely be back!

Food was good. Was greeted by several staff members on our way in and when we were leaving. The the best part was the GM. My young daughter was carrying her life like baby doll and he ask my daughter if she needed a high chair for her baby. Of course she said yes and he went to go get her one. Made her so happy!!! The little things sometimes makes the whole experience! Will go back again!

Everyone is insane about this place, and they're always busy everytime I drive by. I don't get it though. They're all right, but nothing to rave about. I thought it was just this location, but I felt the same about an OKC location after I ate there. Anyway, the food is very average and can actually be a bit bland--not usually an adjective I associate with "Mexican" food. The tortillas are fantastic, but everything else I've tried (from my plate and friends' plates) have fallen into the "average" category. It's not awful, and I'd eat here if I was with a group who wanted it, but I wouldn't come here of my own volition.

I was first introduced to Ted's with a friend. I've been raving about the food to my husband and we finally had the opportunity to try it together this evening. He loved everything about it: the service, the atmosphere and "the BEST burrito I've had in a long time; really perfect" (his words). I appreciate a restaurant that repeatedly serves great food with great service. They start your meal with homemade tortillas and relish, thin, crisp and warm chips with both salsa and queso --- all FREE! Then, save room for the end of the meal when each person receives a cinnamon sugar sopopilla with honey. For the two of us, dinner and soft drinks was $31.08 before the tip. A good deal for a very good meal.

In response to Ted's management question, yes this was my first visit. I would not hesitate to come back however, I live in Kansas. If I ever pass through again, I would certainly stop again. I very much believe my experience was an anomaly. I have heard there is a Ted's in KC- which I'll likely try out!

We had excellent service today at Ted's Cafe Escondido. The wait staff and managers all worked together to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. We have been here several times now and have decided that this is still one of the best Mexican restaurants in Tulsa area. The food is delicious, the appetizer set-up is awesome, and the service is outstanding. Still my favorite Mexican in Tulsa-BA area.

Nothing so much wrong with Ted's but its not anything to write home about. People say its so awesome how they give you free dessert, its not free when I get my bill and it's about 10 bucks more than I pay for Mexican at comparable restaurants.

Nothing much suited us. The manager comped our meal. The margaritas were glasses full of ice with a little liquid. The queso was lousy. Salsas were average, at best. The crema corn was excellent. Enchilada dinner was just average. We will pass on this place forever. Our waitress, Faith, did her best to make things right. She was very accommodating & I was happy to leave her a hefty tip on our comped meal.

Pros: Great for large parties. They were prompt in seating me and my 8 coworkers. The perfect margarita was wonderful. It was the right balance of tart and sweet; and patron is the best tequila. My coworkers gorged themselves on free chips, queso, and salsa. I generally avoid gluten, but I had to eat a free sopapilla; couldn't resist. Decent beef tamale. Good service. Plenty of parking. Cons: Queso was bland. I really really wanted to add salt to it, but didn't want to embarrass myself in front of my coworkers. Nothing exceptionally bad, but not great either. I wouldn't come back here of my own accord.

"Is it training day?" Not a good question to be asking yourself in any establishment. While I don't think the service was ever offensive at all, everyone (not just our tired but dutiful waitress) seemed tried during the early dinner rush. A waiter to a neighboring table even dropped multiple expletives to describe his day. While there were smiles to be seen, they scurried about and it just felt like everyone was ready to see you go- the ultimate bum rush. The good news: you get a lot of complimentary things. Salsas, chips, queso, tortillas, and even sopapeias! The bad news? The salsa looks like a soupy soapy mess that had us questioning if it had milk or something worse in it. The queso was watered down and tasted of soap (and not really cheese, which is weird). The other sauces cluttered up our table and didn't really bring anything new. Tortillas were maybe the highlight of the meal. We got a chicken dish and a pork dish, trying to go outside our comfort area. Both were okay- the chicken was the better option offering a flavorful option that we both liked. Unfortunately, everything else was pretty bland. The worst offender was the corn con crema- there were bits of plastic (think from a chewed up plastic fork) in the food. I was frustrated and ready to go- but I do have to commend the manager on duty for taking a moment to ask about the meal (even if it was as we were leaving). I shared some honest feedback. I hadn't been here before and I don't know if I'd return. Maybe this was just one randomly bad experience.

Once seated you get free chips, salsa, queso, and tortillas. At the end of the meal you get free sopapillas. So I'm pretty sure people go for the free parts of the meal because the food isn't really very good. It's just mediocre. The free queso is actually kind of gross. It's really runny and has no flavor. The fajitas were overcooked, but I'm finding that most Mexican places over cook them. My husband had the Chili Verde and it was actually very tasty. Moist and full of flavor. The strawberry and lime frozen margaritas were gross! They were full of sour mix and virtually no alcohol. Waste of money so we complained to the manager and he took them off our bill, and away from our table since we refused to drink them. Needless to say, it's an ok place but not one we will frequent.

It was Sunday night at the end of the evening and we were just coming from the light display at the church down the street. We pulled into the parking lot just as the manager came out to lock the front door but when he saw us parking, he waited for us. I was amazed. It was obvious that the restaurant was at the end of their day, yet no one rushed us or made us feel unwelcome. The food was great and the service could not have been better. And we finished off with sopa pillas, which are one of my favorite things EVER. I haven't had them in years! I was so excited. I left here very happy and this is definitely a restaurant on my "do it again" list. Well worth the drive to Broken Arrow.

We just left Teds and are visiting from California. We came a couple of years and couldn't wait to go back and they most definitely did not disappoint! We had a large party and they treated us like gold. We cannot believe the food and service at Teds. We also had several kids with us and they were quick, courteous and patient. At one point we asked our waiter for paper napkins and he accidentally forgot. When I reminded him he was so apologetic it was incredible how much they care about their customers. The manager also came by twice to check on us and you can tell he loves his job and cares a great deal about the excellence of his restaurant We will most definitely be visiting before we return to CA. The only negative we have is that we have to take a plane ride to get back to Teds! Well done!

This was the first time I have been to Teds. It was very busy. But we waited for our seats in the bar. The margaritas are "eh". But the food was great. The tortillas are so great. Our waiter was on top of things. We had plenty of drinks and tortillas before we even got low. The price is awesome for the amount you get.

Not bad at all. I am showered in free chips, salsa, and queso the second I sit. Usual fountain drinks, but they also serve Jarritos soda, which is delicious, if overly sweet. Was not impressed by the steak and chicken tacos I got one time, but I am always impressed by the combo fajitas when I get it. Huge cuts of meat, not lacking at all, which is more than I can say for a few places in the area. Free sopapilla with honey at the end, nice touch to the meal. Go here.

Wow!! Ted's is amazing food!! I live in Dallas and eat really good Mexican food regularly. I would put Ted's up against any of those any day. Jordan was a fantastic waiter as well.

Really good! Got a recommendation from hotel for this local non-chain restaurant. The food is fabulous. First off free chips, salsa and queso. The homemade salsa is superb! All of our meals were very delicious.

They have great chips...so I decided I would try the nachos...with beans, chicken, guacamole and sour cream....it was very tasty. We received great service and complimentary sopapillas when we left...we took them to go. I love mexican food, this isn't your traditional fare, but was good.

I have eaten a lot of food in my 48 years (49 tomorrow!) and I have to say this place is great. I was in Broken Arrow a few times on business (nicest people on Earth) and was looking for someplace to eat. We got a few people telling us about this place. So the person I traveled with and I walked in. We mentioned that it was our first time. The hostess was super friendly (good sign) and mentioned to the waitress that it was our first time here. The waitress gave us great suggestions for things to eat and checked back frequently. The manager, upon hearing it was our first time also suggested a few things and then came back to make sure we were enjoying the meal. Simply the best customer service I have had anywhere. Hats off! Now the food: First - they offer fresh chips and three salsas. If you ask, they even have a super hot (actually not that bad - hot for sure, but not slap your mama hot) one that they will bring out. They also give cheese sauce. Then then bring out fresh hot tortillas which are made in house. I could have eaten just those and the dipping sauces and been fine. One really nice thing is that they bring separate bowls for every person which means that 1) You can eat as much as you want (free refills) and 2) you don't have to worry about double dipping. Nice touch. I got a beer - it came in a big thick glass that kept the beer cold for the whole meal. They salt the rim of the glass. Again, nice touch. My partner got a 'rita which she said was quite tasty. For dinner I got one of the combo platters. Really good food. Big flavors. and big portions. They also give free Sopapias for desert. What more could you ask for? I ended up back in BA 2 more times with different work partners and each time went to this place and each time received A+ service and A+ food. If I am ever back that way I will bring people back there with confidence. And the prices (especially for how much you get) are very reasonable. Family friendly. Really nice job!

Ok, so maybe Ted's isn't as "authentic" as some would prefer, but come on people! FREE QUESO! You heard me right. Chips, queso, salsa, tortillas, and sopapillas are all complimentary with whatever you order. My personal preference? Just a side of rice and beans please! And I can make my own bean burrito with the complementary extras. Lets be real, we all full up on the chips at any other Mexican restaurant, so why not do it where the queso is complementary? The food isn't spectacular, I just like to go for the extras. Who doesn't love a free dessert? Good place to come with family and large groups. The servers are very attentive. There is usually a wait so try and call ahead if you can. Or just go early! With the amount of food I eat at teds, usually their margaritas make me feel very full. I usually shy away from the heavy drinks and just fill up on my second favorite food: chips and queso! OlÃ©!

Eric Q.

Here you get average mexican food for a fair price but you will get plenty to eat at Ted's. Alot of people rave about this place but the food I actually find more of a average tex-mex type. They do give you unlimited tortillas and queso so if you have kids thats a great thing. I do however really like the sopapillas that are also unlimited.
(3)
Steve C.

First time to try it - very impressed by cost - particularly since you get free queso and a free Sopaipillas with every meal. Food was reasonably good although not great. 20 minute wait on a Saturday night after arriving at 5:00 PM.

I've been to quite a few restaurants in the Tulsa area and I can honestly say Ted's Cafe Escondido has some of the best service. My daughter and I Went there for the first time today. We were greeted at the door seated and our waiter, Scott greeted us immediately and took our drink order. Someone came out with warm chips and homemade looking salsa. A nice surprise was that queso sauce also came out without having to order it. Scott then came by to ask if we would like their flour tortillas and to try two different types of relishes. We tried the picked vegetable (spicy and yummy) and their spicy salsa (spicy and very flavor able). My daughter ordered the Mexican Flag, which she really liked and I ordered the taco salad with no meat (vegetarian), Scott asked if I would like beans with it. Perfect suggestion. The manager came by to welcome us, and to make sure our meal was satisfactory. After we finished our plentiful meal, yay leftovers for lunch tomorrow, we received complimentary desert, a Sopaillia. Delicious with a little dab of honey. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for not only their delicious food, but for their FANTASTIC service!

We have dined here several times, and this has become one of the "must go" places when we have guests from out of town. The service has been excellent every time, without fail regardless of the number of patrons. The restaurant is almost always very busy, which tells us a lot of what we should know. Our drinks, chips & salsa, etc, never even come close to running out. Every member of the staff that passed our table took a moment to check on us. The food is good, well prepared, and well presented. Portions are good as well. As far as truly authentic Mexican, this is a pretty generic interpretation, and quite basic. But, that appears to be working very well for their business model. The consistency really makes it an above average overall experience.

Candice G.

I've eaten at the one in OKC but this review is for the Broken Arrow location. I had lunch here today. The fajitas were decent, the chicken was tender and the guacamole was ok. I'm just not a fan of those "random pieces of chicken" fajitas, I prefer a whole grilled breast sliced up. The tortillas were awesome, the best part, and I loved their salsa. I'm giving 4 stars because of the chicken situation. Would I come again? Meh, maybe.
(4)
Kimmy D.

I was probably greeted 7 times on the way to my seat. The staff was very attentive and it seems like the service was shared by multiple people. Their lunch is wonderful, great price and comes with chips, salsa, fresh tortillas and a sopapia.
(5)
Paul G.

Waiting for a table...30 minutes. Must be good.... And indeed it was! Where to start...3 salsas to choose from including a queso (not EXTRA $). Free fresh flour tortillas!! WOW---really? Who does that? I went with Cora's recommendation - Best Mexican Tacos. Delicious - and just a LOT of food. I went with the four tacos instead of two. My only suggestion is that rather than covering four flat corn tortillas with the meat for four tacos they actually be pre-stuffed. Maybe they do that so you get more meat, but it's kind of awkward getting the meat into the tortillas since they are covered in the mound of meat. Free Sopapillas!! Wow! Great food! I'll be back next time I'm in the area!

We love Ted's! It holds special meaning for me because it is where I had my first date with my now fiancÃ©. Our most recent visit was on Saturday night. When we got there, they told us there would be a 30 minute wait, so we went into the bar area. The bar isn't very big and can get really crowded. Service was really slow in the bar on Saturday night, but we eventually got a couple of beer's (tip: order them Ted's style with salt and lime on the rim). There estimated wait time was just about right. We were seated at a little two person table. Our waiter was very attentive. The chips, salsa, and queso came quickly as did the complimentary tortillas. I ordered the taco salad, which was pretty good. I would have liked a little more rice and a little less chicken, but I'm probably in the minority on that one. My fiance' loves their quesadillas and it came out perfectly. We ended our meal with complimentary sopapillas. Overall, it was a typical Ted's experience. The food is decent, but not the best Mexican in town, but all of the complimentary additions make it well worth the money.

Celia M.

So for me, this is a pretty good Mexican restaurant. I actually realized rather accidentally that one of the waiters here is someone I know from high school. So that was kind of interesting. Excluding that though, the service here was pretty average. I think our waitress had some trouble keeping up with everyone as the place seemed quite full even before the dinner rush went into full swing. She had a shadow (...a second waiter, probably a trainee helping her, and she was constantly explaining things to him--which I know because I work in the restaurant business too. Classic sign of someone new, but he did quite well...). Now, I will say I was with an older lady, besides me and my mom, who tends to complain a lot, but the place was pretty loud and rather dark. The tables were pretty close to each other too, so it almost felt like if you leaned back too far, you might elbow someone in the face, or head-butt them reverse style. I've seen restaurants that were this crowded and they still made it work. Booths help a lot, but Ted's doesn't seem to believe in booths.... :\ Anyway, the food. I actually rather liked the dips. Most mexican restaurants give you salsa and chips for free and then charge for extra dips. Not so here. The chips come with complementary chips, salsa and queso. Their drink selection is actually quite extensive too. Among all the normal sodas and pretty alcoholic cocktails, they have traditional Jarritos (Mexican sodas) too. I highly recommend the strawberry. Also... the sides... if you liked mashed potatoes, get their potato side dish. You won't be sorry, trust me. For the main dish, I'd love to tell you what I got because it was delicious, but I'm afraid I can't remember what it was called. I remember it had a lot of chicken and onions and things. Almost like a stir fry. It was great. I'm not sure my companions enjoyed their meal nearly as much... I believe they had the Mexican flag enchilada sampler... or something very close to that. My meal all together was about $19. Not bad at all. Plus bonus points for offering a free dessert. I've had better food, service, and atmosphere elsewhere, but I can't exactly say it was a bad restaurant, because it wasn't. It was actually quite good.

Sara R.

Teds is one our favorite places to go in Tulsa. The staff is always super friendly and very quick! My family and I always plan to go there to celebrate birthdays because it's such a fun environment. The food is always awesome and fresh. Starting with complimentary tortillas, chips, salsa and queso never fails, even though I try to not eat too much so I don't spoil my main course. The fajitas are the way to go. They are always the perfect amount and I love taking some home for leftovers. Their chicken tortilla soup is always great on a cold day too. Overall it's a wonderful place and I hope to continue to enjoy Ted's throughout the years to come!

Angie L.

Okay, people. We are in Oklahoma, it's practically Mexico already. There is so much good Mexican food in this town, I am wondering why we were drawn in to try Ted's, now that the damage is done. The parking lot is full every time we drive by. This time, much to our eventual dismay, we found a parking spot. Let's begin by saying this is absolutely NOT "Mexican food". I would call it glorified cafeteria food. Heck, I think even the lunch ladies at my elementary school probably pushed out more authentic enchiladas than Ted's. I really don't know how Ted's is pulling off this ruse of being "Mexican" food, other than they located themselves in what was previously a "restaurant desert" and people in West Tulsa are desperate and willing to try anything. I'll just be kind and say, it's horrendous. I recall eating better TV dinners in the 1970's that were more authentic "Mexican" than Ted's! Let's start with their queso dip. I would be willing to bet you $10, it is made from a powdered mix, just add water and stir. It was horrible! I defy you to find any real cheese in it. It was watery and weak. Something is not right when "queso" is translucent. Normally when real queso dip (you know the kind containing actual cheese) starts to cool off, it will thicken. Not so at Ted's. It remained a drippy, nasty, watery liquid the entire time. The sauce on Kraft Mac & Cheese is more cheesy than Ted's queso dip. Their tamales actually had some real chicken wrapped up in far too much masa flour. And the chicken actually tasted like chicken. (That's your only compliment Ted's.) But, the supposed sour cream sauce on top of them looked more like Elmer's glue mixed with maybe a tiny bit of milk to thin it down. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I finally ate Elmer's glue after all these years. The Chile Relleno looked promising, but oh, no, they screwed that up too. The coating, which should be light and airy with a slight crisp to it, was mushy and gooey and thick. The sauce was bland, and the filling might have been American cheese, if it were actual cheese at all. The only good thing we had at Ted's was a beer. Yes, and that was from a bottle. Thankfully they didn't screw that up. And that birthday hat/song thing. Dear Lord, please make it stop. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to hear or see that going on during dinner. And those sombrero's have touched how many heads? Do you check the birthday celebrants for lice? I don't think so! Do away with the song and the hat! I'm embarrassed for you, Ted's! People of Tulsa...more specifically, people of West Tulsa, I promise you there is better Mexican food just a short drive away. Heck, even Taco Bell would be a step up. Branch out...drive across the river and get something a little more authentic. Don't waste your money at Ted's!

John M.

Authentic it is not. If you are looking some very americanized Mexican food then this is your place. The service is sufficient. The portions are quite large, which is not always a good thing, lest one prefers indigestion over quality. Nonetheless, the place seems to stay busy, so there are many folks that enjoy this fare. As for me, I'll grill up some carne asada or if I'm lazy head over to La Reyna where they serve actual Mexican food.

Back in the day, when I went to OU, this was the place where we went (the one in South OKC) after the month's loan payment came in and/or mom had sent a little extra cash with a newspaper clipping. It carries great memories. And just like then, the food, atmosphere, and experience are still great. To go on: - Really not the best Tex-Mex one could ask for (I am a born and bred Texan), but not bad -- this borders more on "Tex" (heavy cheese, lots of fried stuff) than it does on "mex" (use of different types of peppers, seafood here and there, etc) - You gotta give them props for the unlimited free chips, salsa, queso, and tortillas. In many big cities (like the one I live in, NYC) you have to PAY for each basket of chips and each bowl of salsa. You're saying "crime against humanity!" and you would be right -- AND! the chips, salsa, tortillas, queso are all really good - Sure you have to wait sometimes, but that's because it's good and lots of people want in -- however, they are decent at getting groups in and out efficiently - Surely everyone will want to watch them making tortillas through the window - Excellent service -- you will never have an empty drink - They have "sharing policies" and such to ensure everyone spends money - The cheese gods have blessed this place amply and continuously -- if there were ever to be a cheese shortage Ted's would have to shut down immediately Lastly, wear maternity pants when you go and don't eat several hours (and possibly the full day) before.

Chirag P.

I'm highly surprised by the low reviews for this place! Chips and salsa are flavorful, especially their hottest salsa, the meats they use in the standard fare of mexican food is well cooked and seasoned, low prices, and free sopapillas at the end of the meal. Well I will admit, I just recently moved down to the Tulsa area permanently from Boston, so maybe there's better out there. But for now, it gets 5 stars until I do find something better.

As a vegan with celiac disease I was not happy with my meal. Although I did not have high expectations. However, the service here is excellent. Every person I encountered, including management who went above and beyond, was fantastic. Well done on their staffing choices.

I love this place! Growing up in California, so I'm picky when it comes to Mexican food. I usually order something small because by the time the food gets there I'm usually full from the chips, salsa and queso!
(5)
Sarah S.

People come here because it is very casual and they have awesome salsa and chips. They even bring complimentary queso dip right away too. Upon request, they will gladly bring you their special spicy salsa and fresh warm tortillas before your meal. The service is great too, but the prices for entrees was a bit steep for the portion size. We were expecting our $13 burritos to be huge like you see at other Mexican restaurants, but they were pretty small. For dessert they also bring you complimentary warm sopapillas with honey. All of this complimentary food is accounted for in the high price of the meals, but it was still a good experience. Will continue my search for the best Mexican restaurant in Tulsa :)

Gina L.

The only thing nice I can say about this place is that they have great parking and a big lot. The wait was terrible. The service was bad. The tortillas were fresh and tasty. The queso was awful! I've never seen anything clump and have no taste. It was over priced for what you get. I had the tacos el carbon and the meat was flavorful. My husband had a burito combo and it was terrible. It was the first and last time we will be going. I was under the impression this was a Mexican restaraunt, not Tex-Mex. Maybe we're spoiled living in Arizona and frequent authentic Mexican here and in Southern Cal. I think you could get more authentic at Taco Bueno and save a lot of money. In the Tulsa area if you want an authentic Mexican, go to El Tequilla or a taco stand in little Mexico in East Tulsa.

Lindsay M.

Very happy with the service and the food. I noticed in some older reviews that there were some complaints regarding service. It appears they are making some changes and are addressing the issue. The waiter was beyond nice and meals were served promptly. They also passed out a comment card with the bill which shows they want to please their customers. When I come back into Tulsa for work, I plan on eating here again.

I am giving Ted's four stars because I have NEVER had a bad experience here. However, my husband ordered these steak like tacos and they were SO salty...they were not edible(and he likes salt)! He said "that's what I get for letting you take me to a Mexican restaurant with the name 'TED's' in it!" Haha! But the fresh chips, free queso, and variety of salsas are amazing! I'm a bit of a masochist I always ask for the habanero paste...super hot, but super good! Depending on the mood I'm in sometimes I eat it straight, sometimes I mix it in with the regular salsa. I tend to stick with what I know is good, so I always order the sour cream chicken enchiladas with refrained beans and the best part Mexican Cream Corn...YUM! I also enjoy their Sangria Swirl frozen margaritas. And if I'm not already unbuttoning the top button on my pants, I try to save room for the free delicious sopapilla. And the service is always great, you might have to wait to get a table, but once you place your order, the food comes out super fast!! So, I shall return...with or without my husband, I told him he needs to give "Ted" another chance! Haha!

Brice R.

Great food and the best service I've ever had at a restaurant. This is NOT authentic Mexican but if you like tex-mex- it's great- prices are a lil expensive but you will have left overs. I stopped getting the beans and rice sides because its just too much food- order ala cart and you will be fine

Angela S.

When we first got here there was a really long wait, but I expected that. We sat in the bar while we waited for our table. I went to the bar to order a drink and the bartender wouldn't even acknowledge me. My husband then went up and got served immediately. Weird. So he gets me an $11 margarita that tasted like 100 limes and zero tequila. When the manager say us I told him that I wasn't happy with that so he personally made me a "perfect margarita". The food was excellent, waitress excellent, manager excellent, bartender... I will give him the benefit of doubt that he was busy but for $11 I deserved a better margarita that the lime flavored ice he served me. Glad the manager made it right or this review would be much different.

Lauren D.

Love Ted's! We used to drive all the way to Oklahoma City to eat here before they opened this branch. Yummy tortillas. The best part is you get free queso and a sopapilla. I usually get the Mexican Flag which is three enchiladas with different sauces (you can customize them). Only downside is the cost.
(4)
Lance L.

Food is ok. The nice thing is you get fresh tortillas, chips, queso, and salsa which is more than other restaurants are doing anymore. If you like hot salsa, ask for the habenero salsa ( the hot not the avocado type ). The weird thing about this place is i have had better luck with the food when i do a call in order and pick it up. They normally have it ready within 15 minutes so it is great when the wife and i are out, we call in when we are leaving the last stop of our day.

Victoria L.

I love this place. We used to go there all the time when we lived in OKC now they opened up a cafe here. The service is great and it is kid friendly. It comes with tons of chips, salsas, cheese sauce, and pickled veggies. Oh ya, sopapillas at the end of your meal. The portions are huge so I would recommend splitting a meal, we always get the fajitas. If you get it to go you get a ton of chips and don't forget to ask the the Atomic salsa. They keep it secret so you have to request it...it's free.

I gave this place a try today with two of my coworkers on our lunch break and was rather disappointed. When we first walked in there were a couple of large groups with a lot of children waiting to be seated. However, the entry staff were fast and friendly and it only took 10-15 minutes to be seated. After that, things went downhill. The only positive was that our food came out of the kitchen right away. Everything else left a bad impression. First, our waiter took our complimentary chip basket (which wasn't even half empty) when he brought out our entrees saying that he was going to get some more. We never saw those chips, or any others, again for the rest of the meal. So much for the free chips and salsa. Second, the food was really disappointing. I ordered the lunch special with 2 cheese enchiladas and one sour cream chicken enchilada. Since the entrees don't come with any sides whatsoever, they just coat the huge plate with sauce to make it look like you are getting your $9 worth (you're not). Apparently, the service is fast because they don't add any flavor to the food. The queso and my enchiladas were so bland that I can honestly say I've had better TV dinners. The salsa was decent in comparison, but the chicken had WAY too much salt. This place certainly didn't live up to the hype.

Amanda K.

really?? with so many decent upscale/downscale mexican restaurants its amazing that this place iis getting the reviews it is. the salsa is pretty bland, I usually get teh hot salsa and mix it together so there is at least a little heat in my salsa. the cheese is ok, the flour tortillas are probably the best thing about this place. my biggest complaint, aside from the food being boring/bland/ yet salty, is that if i order and you bring me my food in 90 seconds, I am a bit suspicious. at least pretend that you are cooking my food. MEH. go to abuelos and ask for Luis. or go to a roach coach.

The wife and I were out on a rainy Saturday afternoon and decided to pay Ted's a visit, as it had been on our short list of places to try for some time. At 4pm on a Saturday afternoon, the parking lot was full. We took that as a good sign. It was. Took a few minutes to get our table, but not a bad wait. Probably 10 minutes or so, which was wholly appopriate for the number of people there. As this was our first visit, our waiter Noah(world class waiter, by the way. This was his first week out of training, so I can't WAIT to see how good he gets with a little practice.) took us through the ropes.... I was pleasantly surprised to see that in addition to the de rigeur chips and salsa, Ted's also provides you with a VERY tasty queso and fresh, hot tortillas COMPLIMENTARY.... as well as a pickled veg relish of jalapenos and carrots. The salsa was very fresh, albeit a bit tame, so Noah hooked me up with a bowl of Atomic salsa, which I promptly added to the regular salsa for a perfect blend. We'd perused the menu while waiting to be seated, so we placed our orders quickly. Wife had the Chicken Monterey and I had the Escondido Special. The food arrived at timely intervals. Several of Ted's entrees are delivered in stages, with mine having a wonderful taco and guacamole in the first serving. The guac was some of the best I've ever had, and the taco was nothing short of perfect. While waiting for our entrees, Noah kept the salsa, chips and queso coming. I swear I almost giggled every time he brought a fresh bowl of hot, tasty cheese. Our entrees arrived almost on cue when we were ready. Mine had the requisite beans and rice, as well as a beef tamale, beef enchilada and cheese enchilada. Both the beans and rice were very good. I don't know that I could call them great, because I don't think I've ever had refried bean and spanish rice that were just that stellar on their own, but these were without a doubt very, very good. The tamale was excellent, and I'm a tamale snob. As large as a big enchilada, smothered in a tasty chili sauce, moist and flavorful. The beef enchilada was equally good. The hidden gem on the plate turned out to be the cheese enchilada. I've eaten literally hundreds of cheese enchiladas in my lifetime, and this is the first time I've ever had one that put a smile on my face. The balance between cheese and onions was perfect. The cheese was smooth with just a tad of sharpness, and the onions were cooked just right... soft without being mush. I gave my wife a small bite to taste and was instantly jealous.... I wanted that bite back. As if all this wasn't enough, Noah advised us that sopapillas and honey were on the way, complimentary, if course. Of course.... I mean don't all mexican places in Tulsa provide free queso, hot fresh tortillas, relish and sopapillas with the meal? End result was a very happy diner. Overall experience was a 5 star. Food was 4.5 stars, only because I just don't give 5 stars on food as a rule. Wait staff.... well, Noah rocked. Staff was very, very friendly, service was excellent, food was best mexican food I've had in a long time. Even though we live in Owasso, this place is now my new favorite place for mexican food.

I have loved Teds for years but something has changed. I had chicken nachos with no flavor! My mother ordered a beef burrito - she received a ground beef that also had no flavor both were improved by putting queso

Bobby G.

The chips, salsa, tortillas, sopapilla's and top notch service gets the 4 stars. They are all great. My combo fajitas were just so so and with iced tea were $18.94. Always feel a little rushed in here, they get the food out fast and there is always a line of people to take your table when you leave. If the prices were a little cheaper, I would go more.

Finally home!!!!! I've missed you Tulsa. So first meal home we hit up Ted's Escondido. Ted's became extremely popular in OKC and has several locations there. I remember eating there before the Tulsa location and honestly remember it being better. But maybe thats because I hadn't developed the inner mexican deep inside my soul yet. While the food isn't authentic and is only average, this is still a popular destination for many Tulsans in the area. I still enjoy coming here and hopefully someday I will find something on the menu that is reliable enough to eat when I come here. One thing that makes Ted's so fantastic and makes it stand out above some of the other Mexican joints in town is the free queso and tortillas. Thats right! Free Queso! Free Tortillas! Pretty freaking awesome. You will also get the chips and salsa for free too. I have not been anywhere that does this. Oh and if it doesn't get better you get complimentary Sopapias at the end of your meal. BAD ASS. You will not leave Ted's hungry. They give you so much food here it will make you angry. Share a plate with someone because all the stuff that comes out before you meal is enough to fill you. I ordered the Shredded Beef Burrito and my girlfriend go the Chicken Chimichanga with sour cream sauce. Shredded Beef Burrito- UH! this is not a burrito. This is more like a enchilada than anything. It had a enchilada style sauce over top of it with cheese. The tortilla wasn't burrito quality. Small and tough. And soggy in parts from the sauce. The shredded beef tasted like pot roast. Steer clear of the burrito. Beans and Rice were good. Chicken Chimichanga w/ sour cream sauce- Chimichanga's here are good as long as you eat it while its still hot. Once a Chimichanga starts to cool down the skin gets a little tough. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The sourcream sauce was pretty good. And it was stuffed with cheese which only makes it that much better. Ted's is great for family's but if you are on the quest for some of the best Mexican food treasure's home to Tulsa this should not be a stop for you. But hey, Free Queso and Tortillas is enough to make you go anyway.

I must confess, I did not believe my friends when they told me of this mysterious place that had free chips, queso, salsa, tortillas, and sopapillas. But Mmmm. Not only is it true, but it's fabulous. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything about Mexican food, and am not really a fan. But this place was great. The queso is fantastic, the margaritas delightful, the quesadillas cheesy and wonderful, and the sopapillas were the best I have ever had. They were totally soft, chewy, and full of air. They even give you the honey bottle so you can smear it on yourself. You won me over Ted. Although my main question is, who is Ted and why is he Mexican? Is that a Mexican name? I'm not sure...

A solid Tex Mex place. Love the fact that the chips queso and homehade tortillas are included as well as the sopapias to end the meal. Everything tha I have order was solid. Love the Mexican tacos which use a special marinade on their meat. Plan ahead b/c sometimes there can be long waits.

Most overrated Tex Mex in Tulsa, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just spoiled because of my time in Texas, but I really didn't like this place. Yes, they give you chips and salsa and watery green stuff and watery queso, but is that worth it for the rest of what you get? My fajitas were bland and greasy; my wife's combo platter looked like a war zone. In fairness, my other companion that night ordered something called "The Best Tacos in the world" or something, and he went on and on the next day about them so maybe they were great. OTOH, that guy is from Philly so what does he know? ;-)

Found hair in my food twice and unfortunately had to eat there for a bday a few nights ago and it is still crappy. I don't understand why us Americans love crappy Mexican food. This place just bombards you with a ton of food and maybe you like the fact you're getting so much for so little. This place is disgusting!

Chips-salsa-atomic salsa- all Freebees much better than what you pay for! Mexican Corn and potatoes-your taste buds will thank you!! Then --the Fajitas cometh! The best Fajitas in Tulsa (as advertised) would give me a legal reason for small claim court Truth in Advertising clause. Way overcooked (maybe nuked) little taste - and they looked ready for graveside --(my tastebuds thought I had changed Restaurants! Must have had a Okie instead of Mexican cooking that night! (oops - wait - I'm an Okie and I make the absolute best Fajitas in the Territory - if I keep cookin like this they will have to grant us statehood ---however we might be better off staying a Territory!!! I'm way off target - sorry to waste our time? Travel on down the road if you want Fajitas -- little place in Seminole By tracks on West side of hy - now they know Fajitas! Teds in OKC never has let me down - try one of the locations there. If trying Tulsa - all Teds will cook to order - so describe in detail what you want your Fajitas to look like and contain --- then maybe you will be in better luck.

I had to review this place due to the wide disparity of reviews for Ted's. If I had reviewed it after my first meal here, it would have gotten 4 stars. That was a week after the grand opening when the wait staff sported the mid-calf socks and they brought a bunch of delicious salsa without having to ask for them. The food was excellent at that time. I have been back since about 4 times hoping that it would be a similar experience. It hasn't been. The second trip, I got the fajitas and they didn't sizzle and seemed reheated, like they had been thrown under the salamander to heat them up before bringing them out. Definitely not freshly cooked. The following trips featured the same mediocre food. I don't know what happened since grand opening, but the cooks seemed to lose pride in their craft. You would think they could muster some great authentic Mexican with all the authentic Mexicans living here. If you need some good comida, go to Speedy Gonzales (on Sheridan not Mingo). It is small but their cooks still have it (and the price is great).

This placed was recommended to me and I was excited to try it out because they gave it rave reviews. I took my boyfriend and his cousin with me while visiting OK last week. We walked in and were relieved to see that there were quite a bit of people in there, assuming it was a testament to the quality of food and service. We were very wrong, and I felt bad that I had suggested this place in the first place. Maybe it is the fact that I was just in San Diego the week before eating AUTHENTIC Mexican food but I thought this place was a joke. They don't even have carne asada on the menu and that is like going to an Italian joint that doesn't serve spaghetti. Anyway... I ordered the fajitas, which they claim are very popular, and their "Perfect Margarita." The food arrived WAY before the drinks and the waitress repeatedly apologized saying that the bartender was really busy because he was also waiting tables that night. The fajitas were a huge disappointment... they arrived in really hot pans but not a sizzle could be heard, no steam seen. I've NEVER ordered fajitas that didn't come to your table sizzling... and everything in the dish was brown. It looked as though the food had been cooked hours ago and allowed to sit in the oven until all the vegetables cooked down to practially nothing. It even tasted a bit charcoal-y. The salsa and the queso at the beginning of the meal might as well have been bottled salsa and velveeta cheese. My boyfriend and his cousin were very verbal in their dislike of this restaurant as well so I didn't feel like I was being ridiculous about it. I don't think I would eat here again if ever back in OK.

T.E Lawrence remarked, "Before a grand adventure is under taken, shovel a desk of texmex into your gullet." Truer words have never been spoken. My wife and I are preparing to mount an expedition to Europe and immediately required an industrial amount of texmex to fortify our constitutions. Senoir Ted's bulbous generosity knows no bounds...even with top shelf salsa. I highly recommend Ted's prior to assuming duty or before settling in to Viscount Slim's memoirs.

1st time to try. Great service! I ordered the shrimp and steak fajitas, my wife had the chicken chimichanga. Both where amazing!!. The only thing this place needs is a white sauce for there chips. The manager did bring out complementary guacamole that was great with the crisp thin chips.

We ate here today for lunch.... It was very yummy ... The waitress was very sweet and attentive ! I hate all the bad reviews I see for ted's I could eat here everyday for the chips and warm flour shells and sopapilla ... I had taco salad today and the shell its in is to die for!!! I understand what people mean when they say it is bland ... We don't eat here every time we want spicy Mexican food but I do eat here when I want great homemade flour tortillas ....and I will say this is a great family restaurant as the food is not to spicy for lil eaters! Yummy

We chose this place on our diet cheat day: fantastic choice!! They are right about the complimentary treats!! Our waiter was so very kind & helpful getting us set up before he turned us over to an equally sweet replacement. I know both hard workers will make any new patron have a delightful time. The food was great. Ambiance great & cheat day was not to bad with sharing fajitas. I did have to splurge & have a homeamde tortilla that tasted like my childhood babysitter used to make! I'm drooling as I type. Must stop!!

4/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Service 4/5 Food 4/5 Price Ted's is a popular Mexican restaurant in the area. Pretty busy atmosphere, with a typical Mexican restaurant look. Service has always been really great. In fact, I'd say the best service that I've ever had in any restaurant. The food is always good, though the meal sizes are consistently huge. Not the place for light eaters. Price is decent. Depending on the time of day there can be a wait but it usually isn't too long. Parking can be tight, and getting back out on 71st can be a challenge. I wouldn't advise trying to turn left during rush hour.

We had excellent service today at Ted's Cafe Escondido. The wait staff and managers all worked together to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. We have been here several times now and have decided that this is still one of the best Mexican restaurants in Tulsa area. The food is delicious, the appetizer set-up is awesome, and the service is outstanding. Still my favorite Mexican in Tulsa-BA area.

Nothing so much wrong with Ted's but its not anything to write home about. People say its so awesome how they give you free dessert, its not free when I get my bill and it's about 10 bucks more than I pay for Mexican at comparable restaurants.

Everyone is insane about this place, and they're always busy everytime I drive by. I don't get it though. They're all right, but nothing to rave about. I thought it was just this location, but I felt the same about an OKC location after I ate there. Anyway, the food is very average and can actually be a bit bland--not usually an adjective I associate with "Mexican" food. The tortillas are fantastic, but everything else I've tried (from my plate and friends' plates) have fallen into the "average" category. It's not awful, and I'd eat here if I was with a group who wanted it, but I wouldn't come here of my own volition.

JM K.

Nothing much suited us. The manager comped our meal. The margaritas were glasses full of ice with a little liquid. The queso was lousy. Salsas were average, at best. The crema corn was excellent. Enchilada dinner was just average. We will pass on this place forever. Our waitress, Faith, did her best to make things right. She was very accommodating & I was happy to leave her a hefty tip on our comped meal.

After hearing so many good things, I decided to try Ted's a couple of nights ago. We went in about 8:30ish and were greeted and seated immediately. We were served with chips and salsa, as well as queso, upon being seated. Our server then brought us warm tortillas as well (all of which were complimentary). Everything tasted great and freshly made. I ordered the Steak Tacos Carbon and my girlfriend ordered Enchiladas. The food came out very quickly, almost like it had been waiting for us to arrive. The steak in my Tacos was super flavorful and very tender. There are several side items to choose from other than the traditional rice and beans. We both had rice but I had Mashed Papas (potatoes) and my girlfriend had Corn Crema. Her Corn Crema was amazing. I could have eaten an entire entree of it. The food was fantastic. Our server was named Josh (I think), and he took excellent care of us. He was quick with everything and very personable. He offered us complimentary Sopa Piaz, but we were so full we had to decline. He then offered to pack us some To-Go so we could have them later. The only negative I can say about Ted's is that the prices per entree are a little bit higher than you would find at other mexican restaurants, but when you factor in all the complimentary items, you are getting a pretty good deal. We will definitely be back!

Deborah B.

I was first introduced to Ted's with a friend. I've been raving about the food to my husband and we finally had the opportunity to try it together this evening. He loved everything about it: the service, the atmosphere and "the BEST burrito I've had in a long time; really perfect" (his words). I appreciate a restaurant that repeatedly serves great food with great service. They start your meal with homemade tortillas and relish, thin, crisp and warm chips with both salsa and queso --- all FREE! Then, save room for the end of the meal when each person receives a cinnamon sugar sopopilla with honey. For the two of us, dinner and soft drinks was $31.08 before the tip. A good deal for a very good meal.

Christine T.

In response to Ted's management question, yes this was my first visit. I would not hesitate to come back however, I live in Kansas. If I ever pass through again, I would certainly stop again. I very much believe my experience was an anomaly. I have heard there is a Ted's in KC- which I'll likely try out!

Justin B.

"Is it training day?" Not a good question to be asking yourself in any establishment. While I don't think the service was ever offensive at all, everyone (not just our tired but dutiful waitress) seemed tried during the early dinner rush. A waiter to a neighboring table even dropped multiple expletives to describe his day. While there were smiles to be seen, they scurried about and it just felt like everyone was ready to see you go- the ultimate bum rush. The good news: you get a lot of complimentary things. Salsas, chips, queso, tortillas, and even sopapeias! The bad news? The salsa looks like a soupy soapy mess that had us questioning if it had milk or something worse in it. The queso was watered down and tasted of soap (and not really cheese, which is weird). The other sauces cluttered up our table and didn't really bring anything new. Tortillas were maybe the highlight of the meal. We got a chicken dish and a pork dish, trying to go outside our comfort area. Both were okay- the chicken was the better option offering a flavorful option that we both liked. Unfortunately, everything else was pretty bland. The worst offender was the corn con crema- there were bits of plastic (think from a chewed up plastic fork) in the food. I was frustrated and ready to go- but I do have to commend the manager on duty for taking a moment to ask about the meal (even if it was as we were leaving). I shared some honest feedback. I hadn't been here before and I don't know if I'd return. Maybe this was just one randomly bad experience.

Once seated you get free chips, salsa, queso, and tortillas. At the end of the meal you get free sopapillas. So I'm pretty sure people go for the free parts of the meal because the food isn't really very good. It's just mediocre. The free queso is actually kind of gross. It's really runny and has no flavor. The fajitas were overcooked, but I'm finding that most Mexican places over cook them. My husband had the Chili Verde and it was actually very tasty. Moist and full of flavor. The strawberry and lime frozen margaritas were gross! They were full of sour mix and virtually no alcohol. Waste of money so we complained to the manager and he took them off our bill, and away from our table since we refused to drink them. Needless to say, it's an ok place but not one we will frequent.

Patt G.

It was Sunday night at the end of the evening and we were just coming from the light display at the church down the street. We pulled into the parking lot just as the manager came out to lock the front door but when he saw us parking, he waited for us. I was amazed. It was obvious that the restaurant was at the end of their day, yet no one rushed us or made us feel unwelcome. The food was great and the service could not have been better. And we finished off with sopa pillas, which are one of my favorite things EVER. I haven't had them in years! I was so excited. I left here very happy and this is definitely a restaurant on my "do it again" list. Well worth the drive to Broken Arrow.

We just left Teds and are visiting from California. We came a couple of years and couldn't wait to go back and they most definitely did not disappoint! We had a large party and they treated us like gold. We cannot believe the food and service at Teds. We also had several kids with us and they were quick, courteous and patient. At one point we asked our waiter for paper napkins and he accidentally forgot. When I reminded him he was so apologetic it was incredible how much they care about their customers. The manager also came by twice to check on us and you can tell he loves his job and cares a great deal about the excellence of his restaurant We will most definitely be visiting before we return to CA. The only negative we have is that we have to take a plane ride to get back to Teds! Well done!

Josh B.

This was the first time I have been to Teds. It was very busy. But we waited for our seats in the bar. The margaritas are "eh". But the food was great. The tortillas are so great. Our waiter was on top of things. We had plenty of drinks and tortillas before we even got low. The price is awesome for the amount you get.

Food was good. Was greeted by several staff members on our way in and when we were leaving. The the best part was the GM. My young daughter was carrying her life like baby doll and he ask my daughter if she needed a high chair for her baby. Of course she said yes and he went to go get her one. Made her so happy!!! The little things sometimes makes the whole experience! Will go back again!

Crystal C.

Pros: Great for large parties. They were prompt in seating me and my 8 coworkers. The perfect margarita was wonderful. It was the right balance of tart and sweet; and patron is the best tequila. My coworkers gorged themselves on free chips, queso, and salsa. I generally avoid gluten, but I had to eat a free sopapilla; couldn't resist. Decent beef tamale. Good service. Plenty of parking. Cons: Queso was bland. I really really wanted to add salt to it, but didn't want to embarrass myself in front of my coworkers. Nothing exceptionally bad, but not great either. I wouldn't come back here of my own accord.

Not bad at all. I am showered in free chips, salsa, and queso the second I sit. Usual fountain drinks, but they also serve Jarritos soda, which is delicious, if overly sweet. Was not impressed by the steak and chicken tacos I got one time, but I am always impressed by the combo fajitas when I get it. Huge cuts of meat, not lacking at all, which is more than I can say for a few places in the area. Free sopapilla with honey at the end, nice touch to the meal. Go here.

I have eaten a lot of food in my 48 years (49 tomorrow!) and I have to say this place is great. I was in Broken Arrow a few times on business (nicest people on Earth) and was looking for someplace to eat. We got a few people telling us about this place. So the person I traveled with and I walked in. We mentioned that it was our first time. The hostess was super friendly (good sign) and mentioned to the waitress that it was our first time here. The waitress gave us great suggestions for things to eat and checked back frequently. The manager, upon hearing it was our first time also suggested a few things and then came back to make sure we were enjoying the meal. Simply the best customer service I have had anywhere. Hats off! Now the food: First - they offer fresh chips and three salsas. If you ask, they even have a super hot (actually not that bad - hot for sure, but not slap your mama hot) one that they will bring out. They also give cheese sauce. Then then bring out fresh hot tortillas which are made in house. I could have eaten just those and the dipping sauces and been fine. One really nice thing is that they bring separate bowls for every person which means that 1) You can eat as much as you want (free refills) and 2) you don't have to worry about double dipping. Nice touch. I got a beer - it came in a big thick glass that kept the beer cold for the whole meal. They salt the rim of the glass. Again, nice touch. My partner got a 'rita which she said was quite tasty. For dinner I got one of the combo platters. Really good food. Big flavors. and big portions. They also give free Sopapias for desert. What more could you ask for? I ended up back in BA 2 more times with different work partners and each time went to this place and each time received A+ service and A+ food. If I am ever back that way I will bring people back there with confidence. And the prices (especially for how much you get) are very reasonable. Family friendly. Really nice job!

Alayna D.

Ok, so maybe Ted's isn't as "authentic" as some would prefer, but come on people! FREE QUESO! You heard me right. Chips, queso, salsa, tortillas, and sopapillas are all complimentary with whatever you order. My personal preference? Just a side of rice and beans please! And I can make my own bean burrito with the complementary extras. Lets be real, we all full up on the chips at any other Mexican restaurant, so why not do it where the queso is complementary? The food isn't spectacular, I just like to go for the extras. Who doesn't love a free dessert? Good place to come with family and large groups. The servers are very attentive. There is usually a wait so try and call ahead if you can. Or just go early! With the amount of food I eat at teds, usually their margaritas make me feel very full. I usually shy away from the heavy drinks and just fill up on my second favorite food: chips and queso! OlÃ©!

Eric Q.

Here you get average mexican food for a fair price but you will get plenty to eat at Ted's. Alot of people rave about this place but the food I actually find more of a average tex-mex type. They do give you unlimited tortillas and queso so if you have kids thats a great thing. I do however really like the sopapillas that are also unlimited.
(3)
Steve C.

We have dined here several times, and this has become one of the "must go" places when we have guests from out of town. The service has been excellent every time, without fail regardless of the number of patrons. The restaurant is almost always very busy, which tells us a lot of what we should know. Our drinks, chips & salsa, etc, never even come close to running out. Every member of the staff that passed our table took a moment to check on us. The food is good, well prepared, and well presented. Portions are good as well. As far as truly authentic Mexican, this is a pretty generic interpretation, and quite basic. But, that appears to be working very well for their business model. The consistency really makes it an above average overall experience.

Sara R.

Teds is one our favorite places to go in Tulsa. The staff is always super friendly and very quick! My family and I always plan to go there to celebrate birthdays because it's such a fun environment. The food is always awesome and fresh. Starting with complimentary tortillas, chips, salsa and queso never fails, even though I try to not eat too much so I don't spoil my main course. The fajitas are the way to go. They are always the perfect amount and I love taking some home for leftovers. Their chicken tortilla soup is always great on a cold day too. Overall it's a wonderful place and I hope to continue to enjoy Ted's throughout the years to come!

Lina K.

I've been to quite a few restaurants in the Tulsa area and I can honestly say Ted's Cafe Escondido has some of the best service. My daughter and I Went there for the first time today. We were greeted at the door seated and our waiter, Scott greeted us immediately and took our drink order. Someone came out with warm chips and homemade looking salsa. A nice surprise was that queso sauce also came out without having to order it. Scott then came by to ask if we would like their flour tortillas and to try two different types of relishes. We tried the picked vegetable (spicy and yummy) and their spicy salsa (spicy and very flavor able). My daughter ordered the Mexican Flag, which she really liked and I ordered the taco salad with no meat (vegetarian), Scott asked if I would like beans with it. Perfect suggestion. The manager came by to welcome us, and to make sure our meal was satisfactory. After we finished our plentiful meal, yay leftovers for lunch tomorrow, we received complimentary desert, a Sopaillia. Delicious with a little dab of honey. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for not only their delicious food, but for their FANTASTIC service!

Paul G.

Waiting for a table...30 minutes. Must be good.... And indeed it was! Where to start...3 salsas to choose from including a queso (not EXTRA $). Free fresh flour tortillas!! WOW---really? Who does that? I went with Cora's recommendation - Best Mexican Tacos. Delicious - and just a LOT of food. I went with the four tacos instead of two. My only suggestion is that rather than covering four flat corn tortillas with the meat for four tacos they actually be pre-stuffed. Maybe they do that so you get more meat, but it's kind of awkward getting the meat into the tortillas since they are covered in the mound of meat. Free Sopapillas!! Wow! Great food! I'll be back next time I'm in the area!

We love Ted's! It holds special meaning for me because it is where I had my first date with my now fiancÃ©. Our most recent visit was on Saturday night. When we got there, they told us there would be a 30 minute wait, so we went into the bar area. The bar isn't very big and can get really crowded. Service was really slow in the bar on Saturday night, but we eventually got a couple of beer's (tip: order them Ted's style with salt and lime on the rim). There estimated wait time was just about right. We were seated at a little two person table. Our waiter was very attentive. The chips, salsa, and queso came quickly as did the complimentary tortillas. I ordered the taco salad, which was pretty good. I would have liked a little more rice and a little less chicken, but I'm probably in the minority on that one. My fiance' loves their quesadillas and it came out perfectly. We ended our meal with complimentary sopapillas. Overall, it was a typical Ted's experience. The food is decent, but not the best Mexican in town, but all of the complimentary additions make it well worth the money.

Celia M.

So for me, this is a pretty good Mexican restaurant. I actually realized rather accidentally that one of the waiters here is someone I know from high school. So that was kind of interesting. Excluding that though, the service here was pretty average. I think our waitress had some trouble keeping up with everyone as the place seemed quite full even before the dinner rush went into full swing. She had a shadow (...a second waiter, probably a trainee helping her, and she was constantly explaining things to him--which I know because I work in the restaurant business too. Classic sign of someone new, but he did quite well...). Now, I will say I was with an older lady, besides me and my mom, who tends to complain a lot, but the place was pretty loud and rather dark. The tables were pretty close to each other too, so it almost felt like if you leaned back too far, you might elbow someone in the face, or head-butt them reverse style. I've seen restaurants that were this crowded and they still made it work. Booths help a lot, but Ted's doesn't seem to believe in booths.... :\ Anyway, the food. I actually rather liked the dips. Most mexican restaurants give you salsa and chips for free and then charge for extra dips. Not so here. The chips come with complementary chips, salsa and queso. Their drink selection is actually quite extensive too. Among all the normal sodas and pretty alcoholic cocktails, they have traditional Jarritos (Mexican sodas) too. I highly recommend the strawberry. Also... the sides... if you liked mashed potatoes, get their potato side dish. You won't be sorry, trust me. For the main dish, I'd love to tell you what I got because it was delicious, but I'm afraid I can't remember what it was called. I remember it had a lot of chicken and onions and things. Almost like a stir fry. It was great. I'm not sure my companions enjoyed their meal nearly as much... I believe they had the Mexican flag enchilada sampler... or something very close to that. My meal all together was about $19. Not bad at all. Plus bonus points for offering a free dessert. I've had better food, service, and atmosphere elsewhere, but I can't exactly say it was a bad restaurant, because it wasn't. It was actually quite good.

I've eaten at the one in OKC but this review is for the Broken Arrow location. I had lunch here today. The fajitas were decent, the chicken was tender and the guacamole was ok. I'm just not a fan of those "random pieces of chicken" fajitas, I prefer a whole grilled breast sliced up. The tortillas were awesome, the best part, and I loved their salsa. I'm giving 4 stars because of the chicken situation. Would I come again? Meh, maybe.

Very happy with the service and the food. I noticed in some older reviews that there were some complaints regarding service. It appears they are making some changes and are addressing the issue. The waiter was beyond nice and meals were served promptly. They also passed out a comment card with the bill which shows they want to please their customers. When I come back into Tulsa for work, I plan on eating here again.

I have been going to Ted's since I lived in Oklahoma City. I love it! Great food & I love the chips, salsa, cheese dip & tortillas. It is to expensive, but all in all a good place to eat.

Okay, people. We are in Oklahoma, it's practically Mexico already. There is so much good Mexican food in this town, I am wondering why we were drawn in to try Ted's, now that the damage is done. The parking lot is full every time we drive by. This time, much to our eventual dismay, we found a parking spot. Let's begin by saying this is absolutely NOT "Mexican food". I would call it glorified cafeteria food. Heck, I think even the lunch ladies at my elementary school probably pushed out more authentic enchiladas than Ted's. I really don't know how Ted's is pulling off this ruse of being "Mexican" food, other than they located themselves in what was previously a "restaurant desert" and people in West Tulsa are desperate and willing to try anything. I'll just be kind and say, it's horrendous. I recall eating better TV dinners in the 1970's that were more authentic "Mexican" than Ted's! Let's start with their queso dip. I would be willing to bet you $10, it is made from a powdered mix, just add water and stir. It was horrible! I defy you to find any real cheese in it. It was watery and weak. Something is not right when "queso" is translucent. Normally when real queso dip (you know the kind containing actual cheese) starts to cool off, it will thicken. Not so at Ted's. It remained a drippy, nasty, watery liquid the entire time. The sauce on Kraft Mac & Cheese is more cheesy than Ted's queso dip. Their tamales actually had some real chicken wrapped up in far too much masa flour. And the chicken actually tasted like chicken. (That's your only compliment Ted's.) But, the supposed sour cream sauce on top of them looked more like Elmer's glue mixed with maybe a tiny bit of milk to thin it down. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I finally ate Elmer's glue after all these years. The Chile Relleno looked promising, but oh, no, they screwed that up too. The coating, which should be light and airy with a slight crisp to it, was mushy and gooey and thick. The sauce was bland, and the filling might have been American cheese, if it were actual cheese at all. The only good thing we had at Ted's was a beer. Yes, and that was from a bottle. Thankfully they didn't screw that up. And that birthday hat/song thing. Dear Lord, please make it stop. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to hear or see that going on during dinner. And those sombrero's have touched how many heads? Do you check the birthday celebrants for lice? I don't think so! Do away with the song and the hat! I'm embarrassed for you, Ted's! People of Tulsa...more specifically, people of West Tulsa, I promise you there is better Mexican food just a short drive away. Heck, even Taco Bell would be a step up. Branch out...drive across the river and get something a little more authentic. Don't waste your money at Ted's!

I was probably greeted 7 times on the way to my seat. The staff was very attentive and it seems like the service was shared by multiple people. Their lunch is wonderful, great price and comes with chips, salsa, fresh tortillas and a sopapia.

Megan M.

I love this place! Growing up in California, so I'm picky when it comes to Mexican food. I usually order something small because by the time the food gets there I'm usually full from the chips, salsa and queso!
(5)
Lynn M.

I am giving Ted's four stars because I have NEVER had a bad experience here. However, my husband ordered these steak like tacos and they were SO salty...they were not edible(and he likes salt)! He said "that's what I get for letting you take me to a Mexican restaurant with the name 'TED's' in it!" Haha! But the fresh chips, free queso, and variety of salsas are amazing! I'm a bit of a masochist I always ask for the habanero paste...super hot, but super good! Depending on the mood I'm in sometimes I eat it straight, sometimes I mix it in with the regular salsa. I tend to stick with what I know is good, so I always order the sour cream chicken enchiladas with refrained beans and the best part Mexican Cream Corn...YUM! I also enjoy their Sangria Swirl frozen margaritas. And if I'm not already unbuttoning the top button on my pants, I try to save room for the free delicious sopapilla. And the service is always great, you might have to wait to get a table, but once you place your order, the food comes out super fast!! So, I shall return...with or without my husband, I told him he needs to give "Ted" another chance! Haha!

Great food and the best service I've ever had at a restaurant. This is NOT authentic Mexican but if you like tex-mex- it's great- prices are a lil expensive but you will have left overs. I stopped getting the beans and rice sides because its just too much food- order ala cart and you will be fine
(5)
Elana L.

Once seated you get free chips, salsa, queso, and tortillas. At the end of the meal you get free sopapillas. So I'm pretty sure people go for the free parts of the meal because the food isn't really very good. It's just mediocre. The free queso is actually kind of gross. It's really runny and has no flavor. The fajitas were overcooked, but I'm finding that most Mexican places over cook them. My husband had the Chili Verde and it was actually very tasty. Moist and full of flavor. The strawberry and lime frozen margaritas were gross! They were full of sour mix and virtually no alcohol. Waste of money so we complained to the manager and he took them off our bill, and away from our table since we refused to drink them. Needless to say, it's an ok place but not one we will frequent.

Patt G.

It was Sunday night at the end of the evening and we were just coming from the light display at the church down the street. We pulled into the parking lot just as the manager came out to lock the front door but when he saw us parking, he waited for us. I was amazed. It was obvious that the restaurant was at the end of their day, yet no one rushed us or made us feel unwelcome. The food was great and the service could not have been better. And we finished off with sopa pillas, which are one of my favorite things EVER. I haven't had them in years! I was so excited. I left here very happy and this is definitely a restaurant on my "do it again" list. Well worth the drive to Broken Arrow.

Cindy D.

We had excellent service today at Ted's Cafe Escondido. The wait staff and managers all worked together to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. We have been here several times now and have decided that this is still one of the best Mexican restaurants in Tulsa area. The food is delicious, the appetizer set-up is awesome, and the service is outstanding. Still my favorite Mexican in Tulsa-BA area.
(5)
Tom D.

Nothing so much wrong with Ted's but its not anything to write home about. People say its so awesome how they give you free dessert, its not free when I get my bill and it's about 10 bucks more than I pay for Mexican at comparable restaurants.

Steve R.

After hearing so many good things, I decided to try Ted's a couple of nights ago. We went in about 8:30ish and were greeted and seated immediately. We were served with chips and salsa, as well as queso, upon being seated. Our server then brought us warm tortillas as well (all of which were complimentary). Everything tasted great and freshly made. I ordered the Steak Tacos Carbon and my girlfriend ordered Enchiladas. The food came out very quickly, almost like it had been waiting for us to arrive. The steak in my Tacos was super flavorful and very tender. There are several side items to choose from other than the traditional rice and beans. We both had rice but I had Mashed Papas (potatoes) and my girlfriend had Corn Crema. Her Corn Crema was amazing. I could have eaten an entire entree of it. The food was fantastic. Our server was named Josh (I think), and he took excellent care of us. He was quick with everything and very personable. He offered us complimentary Sopa Piaz, but we were so full we had to decline. He then offered to pack us some To-Go so we could have them later. The only negative I can say about Ted's is that the prices per entree are a little bit higher than you would find at other mexican restaurants, but when you factor in all the complimentary items, you are getting a pretty good deal. We will definitely be back!

Heathery H.

Everyone is insane about this place, and they're always busy everytime I drive by. I don't get it though. They're all right, but nothing to rave about. I thought it was just this location, but I felt the same about an OKC location after I ate there. Anyway, the food is very average and can actually be a bit bland--not usually an adjective I associate with "Mexican" food. The tortillas are fantastic, but everything else I've tried (from my plate and friends' plates) have fallen into the "average" category. It's not awful, and I'd eat here if I was with a group who wanted it, but I wouldn't come here of my own volition.

We just left Teds and are visiting from California. We came a couple of years and couldn't wait to go back and they most definitely did not disappoint! We had a large party and they treated us like gold. We cannot believe the food and service at Teds. We also had several kids with us and they were quick, courteous and patient. At one point we asked our waiter for paper napkins and he accidentally forgot. When I reminded him he was so apologetic it was incredible how much they care about their customers. The manager also came by twice to check on us and you can tell he loves his job and cares a great deal about the excellence of his restaurant We will most definitely be visiting before we return to CA. The only negative we have is that we have to take a plane ride to get back to Teds! Well done!

Deborah B.

I was first introduced to Ted's with a friend. I've been raving about the food to my husband and we finally had the opportunity to try it together this evening. He loved everything about it: the service, the atmosphere and "the BEST burrito I've had in a long time; really perfect" (his words). I appreciate a restaurant that repeatedly serves great food with great service. They start your meal with homemade tortillas and relish, thin, crisp and warm chips with both salsa and queso --- all FREE! Then, save room for the end of the meal when each person receives a cinnamon sugar sopopilla with honey. For the two of us, dinner and soft drinks was $31.08 before the tip. A good deal for a very good meal.
(5)
Christine T.

In response to Ted's management question, yes this was my first visit. I would not hesitate to come back however, I live in Kansas. If I ever pass through again, I would certainly stop again. I very much believe my experience was an anomaly. I have heard there is a Ted's in KC- which I'll likely try out!

JM K.

Nothing much suited us. The manager comped our meal. The margaritas were glasses full of ice with a little liquid. The queso was lousy. Salsas were average, at best. The crema corn was excellent. Enchilada dinner was just average. We will pass on this place forever. Our waitress, Faith, did her best to make things right. She was very accommodating & I was happy to leave her a hefty tip on our comped meal.

"Is it training day?" Not a good question to be asking yourself in any establishment. While I don't think the service was ever offensive at all, everyone (not just our tired but dutiful waitress) seemed tried during the early dinner rush. A waiter to a neighboring table even dropped multiple expletives to describe his day. While there were smiles to be seen, they scurried about and it just felt like everyone was ready to see you go- the ultimate bum rush. The good news: you get a lot of complimentary things. Salsas, chips, queso, tortillas, and even sopapeias! The bad news? The salsa looks like a soupy soapy mess that had us questioning if it had milk or something worse in it. The queso was watered down and tasted of soap (and not really cheese, which is weird). The other sauces cluttered up our table and didn't really bring anything new. Tortillas were maybe the highlight of the meal. We got a chicken dish and a pork dish, trying to go outside our comfort area. Both were okay- the chicken was the better option offering a flavorful option that we both liked. Unfortunately, everything else was pretty bland. The worst offender was the corn con crema- there were bits of plastic (think from a chewed up plastic fork) in the food. I was frustrated and ready to go- but I do have to commend the manager on duty for taking a moment to ask about the meal (even if it was as we were leaving). I shared some honest feedback. I hadn't been here before and I don't know if I'd return. Maybe this was just one randomly bad experience.

Josh B.

This was the first time I have been to Teds. It was very busy. But we waited for our seats in the bar. The margaritas are "eh". But the food was great. The tortillas are so great. Our waiter was on top of things. We had plenty of drinks and tortillas before we even got low. The price is awesome for the amount you get.

Food was good. Was greeted by several staff members on our way in and when we were leaving. The the best part was the GM. My young daughter was carrying her life like baby doll and he ask my daughter if she needed a high chair for her baby. Of course she said yes and he went to go get her one. Made her so happy!!! The little things sometimes makes the whole experience! Will go back again!

Crystal C.

Pros: Great for large parties. They were prompt in seating me and my 8 coworkers. The perfect margarita was wonderful. It was the right balance of tart and sweet; and patron is the best tequila. My coworkers gorged themselves on free chips, queso, and salsa. I generally avoid gluten, but I had to eat a free sopapilla; couldn't resist. Decent beef tamale. Good service. Plenty of parking. Cons: Queso was bland. I really really wanted to add salt to it, but didn't want to embarrass myself in front of my coworkers. Nothing exceptionally bad, but not great either. I wouldn't come back here of my own accord.

T.E Lawrence remarked, "Before a grand adventure is under taken, shovel a desk of texmex into your gullet." Truer words have never been spoken. My wife and I are preparing to mount an expedition to Europe and immediately required an industrial amount of texmex to fortify our constitutions. Senoir Ted's bulbous generosity knows no bounds...even with top shelf salsa. I highly recommend Ted's prior to assuming duty or before settling in to Viscount Slim's memoirs.

Paul L.

1st time to try. Great service! I ordered the shrimp and steak fajitas, my wife had the chicken chimichanga. Both where amazing!!. The only thing this place needs is a white sauce for there chips. The manager did bring out complementary guacamole that was great with the crisp thin chips.

Amy G.

We ate here today for lunch.... It was very yummy ... The waitress was very sweet and attentive ! I hate all the bad reviews I see for ted's I could eat here everyday for the chips and warm flour shells and sopapilla ... I had taco salad today and the shell its in is to die for!!! I understand what people mean when they say it is bland ... We don't eat here every time we want spicy Mexican food but I do eat here when I want great homemade flour tortillas ....and I will say this is a great family restaurant as the food is not to spicy for lil eaters! Yummy

Cami D.

We chose this place on our diet cheat day: fantastic choice!! They are right about the complimentary treats!! Our waiter was so very kind & helpful getting us set up before he turned us over to an equally sweet replacement. I know both hard workers will make any new patron have a delightful time. The food was great. Ambiance great & cheat day was not to bad with sharing fajitas. I did have to splurge & have a homeamde tortilla that tasted like my childhood babysitter used to make! I'm drooling as I type. Must stop!!

Jamie G.

4/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Service 4/5 Food 4/5 Price Ted's is a popular Mexican restaurant in the area. Pretty busy atmosphere, with a typical Mexican restaurant look. Service has always been really great. In fact, I'd say the best service that I've ever had in any restaurant. The food is always good, though the meal sizes are consistently huge. Not the place for light eaters. Price is decent. Depending on the time of day there can be a wait but it usually isn't too long. Parking can be tight, and getting back out on 71st can be a challenge. I wouldn't advise trying to turn left during rush hour.

They have great chips...so I decided I would try the nachos...with beans, chicken, guacamole and sour cream....it was very tasty. We received great service and complimentary sopapillas when we left...we took them to go. I love mexican food, this isn't your traditional fare, but was good.

Ryan F.

Not bad at all. I am showered in free chips, salsa, and queso the second I sit. Usual fountain drinks, but they also serve Jarritos soda, which is delicious, if overly sweet. Was not impressed by the steak and chicken tacos I got one time, but I am always impressed by the combo fajitas when I get it. Huge cuts of meat, not lacking at all, which is more than I can say for a few places in the area. Free sopapilla with honey at the end, nice touch to the meal. Go here.

Teds is one our favorite places to go in Tulsa. The staff is always super friendly and very quick! My family and I always plan to go there to celebrate birthdays because it's such a fun environment. The food is always awesome and fresh. Starting with complimentary tortillas, chips, salsa and queso never fails, even though I try to not eat too much so I don't spoil my main course. The fajitas are the way to go. They are always the perfect amount and I love taking some home for leftovers. Their chicken tortilla soup is always great on a cold day too. Overall it's a wonderful place and I hope to continue to enjoy Ted's throughout the years to come!

I have eaten a lot of food in my 48 years (49 tomorrow!) and I have to say this place is great. I was in Broken Arrow a few times on business (nicest people on Earth) and was looking for someplace to eat. We got a few people telling us about this place. So the person I traveled with and I walked in. We mentioned that it was our first time. The hostess was super friendly (good sign) and mentioned to the waitress that it was our first time here. The waitress gave us great suggestions for things to eat and checked back frequently. The manager, upon hearing it was our first time also suggested a few things and then came back to make sure we were enjoying the meal. Simply the best customer service I have had anywhere. Hats off! Now the food: First - they offer fresh chips and three salsas. If you ask, they even have a super hot (actually not that bad - hot for sure, but not slap your mama hot) one that they will bring out. They also give cheese sauce. Then then bring out fresh hot tortillas which are made in house. I could have eaten just those and the dipping sauces and been fine. One really nice thing is that they bring separate bowls for every person which means that 1) You can eat as much as you want (free refills) and 2) you don't have to worry about double dipping. Nice touch. I got a beer - it came in a big thick glass that kept the beer cold for the whole meal. They salt the rim of the glass. Again, nice touch. My partner got a 'rita which she said was quite tasty. For dinner I got one of the combo platters. Really good food. Big flavors. and big portions. They also give free Sopapias for desert. What more could you ask for? I ended up back in BA 2 more times with different work partners and each time went to this place and each time received A+ service and A+ food. If I am ever back that way I will bring people back there with confidence. And the prices (especially for how much you get) are very reasonable. Family friendly. Really nice job!

Alayna D.

Ok, so maybe Ted's isn't as "authentic" as some would prefer, but come on people! FREE QUESO! You heard me right. Chips, queso, salsa, tortillas, and sopapillas are all complimentary with whatever you order. My personal preference? Just a side of rice and beans please! And I can make my own bean burrito with the complementary extras. Lets be real, we all full up on the chips at any other Mexican restaurant, so why not do it where the queso is complementary? The food isn't spectacular, I just like to go for the extras. Who doesn't love a free dessert? Good place to come with family and large groups. The servers are very attentive. There is usually a wait so try and call ahead if you can. Or just go early! With the amount of food I eat at teds, usually their margaritas make me feel very full. I usually shy away from the heavy drinks and just fill up on my second favorite food: chips and queso! OlÃ©!

Eric Q.

Here you get average mexican food for a fair price but you will get plenty to eat at Ted's. Alot of people rave about this place but the food I actually find more of a average tex-mex type. They do give you unlimited tortillas and queso so if you have kids thats a great thing. I do however really like the sopapillas that are also unlimited.
(3)
Steve C.

First time to try it - very impressed by cost - particularly since you get free queso and a free Sopaipillas with every meal. Food was reasonably good although not great. 20 minute wait on a Saturday night after arriving at 5:00 PM.
(4)
Aaron G.

We have dined here several times, and this has become one of the "must go" places when we have guests from out of town. The service has been excellent every time, without fail regardless of the number of patrons. The restaurant is almost always very busy, which tells us a lot of what we should know. Our drinks, chips & salsa, etc, never even come close to running out. Every member of the staff that passed our table took a moment to check on us. The food is good, well prepared, and well presented. Portions are good as well. As far as truly authentic Mexican, this is a pretty generic interpretation, and quite basic. But, that appears to be working very well for their business model. The consistency really makes it an above average overall experience.

Lina K.

I've been to quite a few restaurants in the Tulsa area and I can honestly say Ted's Cafe Escondido has some of the best service. My daughter and I Went there for the first time today. We were greeted at the door seated and our waiter, Scott greeted us immediately and took our drink order. Someone came out with warm chips and homemade looking salsa. A nice surprise was that queso sauce also came out without having to order it. Scott then came by to ask if we would like their flour tortillas and to try two different types of relishes. We tried the picked vegetable (spicy and yummy) and their spicy salsa (spicy and very flavor able). My daughter ordered the Mexican Flag, which she really liked and I ordered the taco salad with no meat (vegetarian), Scott asked if I would like beans with it. Perfect suggestion. The manager came by to welcome us, and to make sure our meal was satisfactory. After we finished our plentiful meal, yay leftovers for lunch tomorrow, we received complimentary desert, a Sopaillia. Delicious with a little dab of honey. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for not only their delicious food, but for their FANTASTIC service!
(5)
Paul G.

Waiting for a table...30 minutes. Must be good.... And indeed it was! Where to start...3 salsas to choose from including a queso (not EXTRA $). Free fresh flour tortillas!! WOW---really? Who does that? I went with Cora's recommendation - Best Mexican Tacos. Delicious - and just a LOT of food. I went with the four tacos instead of two. My only suggestion is that rather than covering four flat corn tortillas with the meat for four tacos they actually be pre-stuffed. Maybe they do that so you get more meat, but it's kind of awkward getting the meat into the tortillas since they are covered in the mound of meat. Free Sopapillas!! Wow! Great food! I'll be back next time I'm in the area!

We love Ted's! It holds special meaning for me because it is where I had my first date with my now fiancÃ©. Our most recent visit was on Saturday night. When we got there, they told us there would be a 30 minute wait, so we went into the bar area. The bar isn't very big and can get really crowded. Service was really slow in the bar on Saturday night, but we eventually got a couple of beer's (tip: order them Ted's style with salt and lime on the rim). There estimated wait time was just about right. We were seated at a little two person table. Our waiter was very attentive. The chips, salsa, and queso came quickly as did the complimentary tortillas. I ordered the taco salad, which was pretty good. I would have liked a little more rice and a little less chicken, but I'm probably in the minority on that one. My fiance' loves their quesadillas and it came out perfectly. We ended our meal with complimentary sopapillas. Overall, it was a typical Ted's experience. The food is decent, but not the best Mexican in town, but all of the complimentary additions make it well worth the money.

Celia M.

So for me, this is a pretty good Mexican restaurant. I actually realized rather accidentally that one of the waiters here is someone I know from high school. So that was kind of interesting. Excluding that though, the service here was pretty average. I think our waitress had some trouble keeping up with everyone as the place seemed quite full even before the dinner rush went into full swing. She had a shadow (...a second waiter, probably a trainee helping her, and she was constantly explaining things to him--which I know because I work in the restaurant business too. Classic sign of someone new, but he did quite well...). Now, I will say I was with an older lady, besides me and my mom, who tends to complain a lot, but the place was pretty loud and rather dark. The tables were pretty close to each other too, so it almost felt like if you leaned back too far, you might elbow someone in the face, or head-butt them reverse style. I've seen restaurants that were this crowded and they still made it work. Booths help a lot, but Ted's doesn't seem to believe in booths.... :\ Anyway, the food. I actually rather liked the dips. Most mexican restaurants give you salsa and chips for free and then charge for extra dips. Not so here. The chips come with complementary chips, salsa and queso. Their drink selection is actually quite extensive too. Among all the normal sodas and pretty alcoholic cocktails, they have traditional Jarritos (Mexican sodas) too. I highly recommend the strawberry. Also... the sides... if you liked mashed potatoes, get their potato side dish. You won't be sorry, trust me. For the main dish, I'd love to tell you what I got because it was delicious, but I'm afraid I can't remember what it was called. I remember it had a lot of chicken and onions and things. Almost like a stir fry. It was great. I'm not sure my companions enjoyed their meal nearly as much... I believe they had the Mexican flag enchilada sampler... or something very close to that. My meal all together was about $19. Not bad at all. Plus bonus points for offering a free dessert. I've had better food, service, and atmosphere elsewhere, but I can't exactly say it was a bad restaurant, because it wasn't. It was actually quite good.

Okay, people. We are in Oklahoma, it's practically Mexico already. There is so much good Mexican food in this town, I am wondering why we were drawn in to try Ted's, now that the damage is done. The parking lot is full every time we drive by. This time, much to our eventual dismay, we found a parking spot. Let's begin by saying this is absolutely NOT "Mexican food". I would call it glorified cafeteria food. Heck, I think even the lunch ladies at my elementary school probably pushed out more authentic enchiladas than Ted's. I really don't know how Ted's is pulling off this ruse of being "Mexican" food, other than they located themselves in what was previously a "restaurant desert" and people in West Tulsa are desperate and willing to try anything. I'll just be kind and say, it's horrendous. I recall eating better TV dinners in the 1970's that were more authentic "Mexican" than Ted's! Let's start with their queso dip. I would be willing to bet you $10, it is made from a powdered mix, just add water and stir. It was horrible! I defy you to find any real cheese in it. It was watery and weak. Something is not right when "queso" is translucent. Normally when real queso dip (you know the kind containing actual cheese) starts to cool off, it will thicken. Not so at Ted's. It remained a drippy, nasty, watery liquid the entire time. The sauce on Kraft Mac & Cheese is more cheesy than Ted's queso dip. Their tamales actually had some real chicken wrapped up in far too much masa flour. And the chicken actually tasted like chicken. (That's your only compliment Ted's.) But, the supposed sour cream sauce on top of them looked more like Elmer's glue mixed with maybe a tiny bit of milk to thin it down. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I finally ate Elmer's glue after all these years. The Chile Relleno looked promising, but oh, no, they screwed that up too. The coating, which should be light and airy with a slight crisp to it, was mushy and gooey and thick. The sauce was bland, and the filling might have been American cheese, if it were actual cheese at all. The only good thing we had at Ted's was a beer. Yes, and that was from a bottle. Thankfully they didn't screw that up. And that birthday hat/song thing. Dear Lord, please make it stop. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to hear or see that going on during dinner. And those sombrero's have touched how many heads? Do you check the birthday celebrants for lice? I don't think so! Do away with the song and the hat! I'm embarrassed for you, Ted's! People of Tulsa...more specifically, people of West Tulsa, I promise you there is better Mexican food just a short drive away. Heck, even Taco Bell would be a step up. Branch out...drive across the river and get something a little more authentic. Don't waste your money at Ted's!

I was probably greeted 7 times on the way to my seat. The staff was very attentive and it seems like the service was shared by multiple people. Their lunch is wonderful, great price and comes with chips, salsa, fresh tortillas and a sopapia.

I love this place! Growing up in California, so I'm picky when it comes to Mexican food. I usually order something small because by the time the food gets there I'm usually full from the chips, salsa and queso!

Lindsay M.

Very happy with the service and the food. I noticed in some older reviews that there were some complaints regarding service. It appears they are making some changes and are addressing the issue. The waiter was beyond nice and meals were served promptly. They also passed out a comment card with the bill which shows they want to please their customers. When I come back into Tulsa for work, I plan on eating here again.

I have been going to Ted's since I lived in Oklahoma City. I love it! Great food & I love the chips, salsa, cheese dip & tortillas. It is to expensive, but all in all a good place to eat.

Love their queso and tortillas! Service outstanding. Rice and beans: so so. Great tableside service. Free sopapillas at the end. You can't beat this place!

When we first got here there was a really long wait, but I expected that. We sat in the bar while we waited for our table. I went to the bar to order a drink and the bartender wouldn't even acknowledge me. My husband then went up and got served immediately. Weird. So he gets me an $11 margarita that tasted like 100 limes and zero tequila. When the manager say us I told him that I wasn't happy with that so he personally made me a "perfect margarita". The food was excellent, waitress excellent, manager excellent, bartender... I will give him the benefit of doubt that he was busy but for $11 I deserved a better margarita that the lime flavored ice he served me. Glad the manager made it right or this review would be much different.

Authentic it is not. If you are looking some very americanized Mexican food then this is your place. The service is sufficient. The portions are quite large, which is not always a good thing, lest one prefers indigestion over quality. Nonetheless, the place seems to stay busy, so there are many folks that enjoy this fare. As for me, I'll grill up some carne asada or if I'm lazy head over to La Reyna where they serve actual Mexican food.

I gave this place a try today with two of my coworkers on our lunch break and was rather disappointed. When we first walked in there were a couple of large groups with a lot of children waiting to be seated. However, the entry staff were fast and friendly and it only took 10-15 minutes to be seated. After that, things went downhill. The only positive was that our food came out of the kitchen right away. Everything else left a bad impression. First, our waiter took our complimentary chip basket (which wasn't even half empty) when he brought out our entrees saying that he was going to get some more. We never saw those chips, or any others, again for the rest of the meal. So much for the free chips and salsa. Second, the food was really disappointing. I ordered the lunch special with 2 cheese enchiladas and one sour cream chicken enchilada. Since the entrees don't come with any sides whatsoever, they just coat the huge plate with sauce to make it look like you are getting your $9 worth (you're not). Apparently, the service is fast because they don't add any flavor to the food. The queso and my enchiladas were so bland that I can honestly say I've had better TV dinners. The salsa was decent in comparison, but the chicken had WAY too much salt. This place certainly didn't live up to the hype.

I am giving Ted's four stars because I have NEVER had a bad experience here. However, my husband ordered these steak like tacos and they were SO salty...they were not edible(and he likes salt)! He said "that's what I get for letting you take me to a Mexican restaurant with the name 'TED's' in it!" Haha! But the fresh chips, free queso, and variety of salsas are amazing! I'm a bit of a masochist I always ask for the habanero paste...super hot, but super good! Depending on the mood I'm in sometimes I eat it straight, sometimes I mix it in with the regular salsa. I tend to stick with what I know is good, so I always order the sour cream chicken enchiladas with refrained beans and the best part Mexican Cream Corn...YUM! I also enjoy their Sangria Swirl frozen margaritas. And if I'm not already unbuttoning the top button on my pants, I try to save room for the free delicious sopapilla. And the service is always great, you might have to wait to get a table, but once you place your order, the food comes out super fast!! So, I shall return...with or without my husband, I told him he needs to give "Ted" another chance! Haha!

Great food and the best service I've ever had at a restaurant. This is NOT authentic Mexican but if you like tex-mex- it's great- prices are a lil expensive but you will have left overs. I stopped getting the beans and rice sides because its just too much food- order ala cart and you will be fine

As a vegan with celiac disease I was not happy with my meal. Although I did not have high expectations. However, the service here is excellent. Every person I encountered, including management who went above and beyond, was fantastic. Well done on their staffing choices.

Gina L.

The only thing nice I can say about this place is that they have great parking and a big lot. The wait was terrible. The service was bad. The tortillas were fresh and tasty. The queso was awful! I've never seen anything clump and have no taste. It was over priced for what you get. I had the tacos el carbon and the meat was flavorful. My husband had a burito combo and it was terrible. It was the first and last time we will be going. I was under the impression this was a Mexican restaraunt, not Tex-Mex. Maybe we're spoiled living in Arizona and frequent authentic Mexican here and in Southern Cal. I think you could get more authentic at Taco Bueno and save a lot of money. In the Tulsa area if you want an authentic Mexican, go to El Tequilla or a taco stand in little Mexico in East Tulsa.

Lance L.

Food is ok. The nice thing is you get fresh tortillas, chips, queso, and salsa which is more than other restaurants are doing anymore. If you like hot salsa, ask for the habenero salsa ( the hot not the avocado type ). The weird thing about this place is i have had better luck with the food when i do a call in order and pick it up. They normally have it ready within 15 minutes so it is great when the wife and i are out, we call in when we are leaving the last stop of our day.

Victoria L.

I love this place. We used to go there all the time when we lived in OKC now they opened up a cafe here. The service is great and it is kid friendly. It comes with tons of chips, salsas, cheese sauce, and pickled veggies. Oh ya, sopapillas at the end of your meal. The portions are huge so I would recommend splitting a meal, we always get the fajitas. If you get it to go you get a ton of chips and don't forget to ask the the Atomic salsa. They keep it secret so you have to request it...it's free.

Lauren D.

Love Ted's! We used to drive all the way to Oklahoma City to eat here before they opened this branch. Yummy tortillas. The best part is you get free queso and a sopapilla. I usually get the Mexican Flag which is three enchiladas with different sauces (you can customize them). Only downside is the cost.

The wife and I were out on a rainy Saturday afternoon and decided to pay Ted's a visit, as it had been on our short list of places to try for some time. At 4pm on a Saturday afternoon, the parking lot was full. We took that as a good sign. It was. Took a few minutes to get our table, but not a bad wait. Probably 10 minutes or so, which was wholly appopriate for the number of people there. As this was our first visit, our waiter Noah(world class waiter, by the way. This was his first week out of training, so I can't WAIT to see how good he gets with a little practice.) took us through the ropes.... I was pleasantly surprised to see that in addition to the de rigeur chips and salsa, Ted's also provides you with a VERY tasty queso and fresh, hot tortillas COMPLIMENTARY.... as well as a pickled veg relish of jalapenos and carrots. The salsa was very fresh, albeit a bit tame, so Noah hooked me up with a bowl of Atomic salsa, which I promptly added to the regular salsa for a perfect blend. We'd perused the menu while waiting to be seated, so we placed our orders quickly. Wife had the Chicken Monterey and I had the Escondido Special. The food arrived at timely intervals. Several of Ted's entrees are delivered in stages, with mine having a wonderful taco and guacamole in the first serving. The guac was some of the best I've ever had, and the taco was nothing short of perfect. While waiting for our entrees, Noah kept the salsa, chips and queso coming. I swear I almost giggled every time he brought a fresh bowl of hot, tasty cheese. Our entrees arrived almost on cue when we were ready. Mine had the requisite beans and rice, as well as a beef tamale, beef enchilada and cheese enchilada. Both the beans and rice were very good. I don't know that I could call them great, because I don't think I've ever had refried bean and spanish rice that were just that stellar on their own, but these were without a doubt very, very good. The tamale was excellent, and I'm a tamale snob. As large as a big enchilada, smothered in a tasty chili sauce, moist and flavorful. The beef enchilada was equally good. The hidden gem on the plate turned out to be the cheese enchilada. I've eaten literally hundreds of cheese enchiladas in my lifetime, and this is the first time I've ever had one that put a smile on my face. The balance between cheese and onions was perfect. The cheese was smooth with just a tad of sharpness, and the onions were cooked just right... soft without being mush. I gave my wife a small bite to taste and was instantly jealous.... I wanted that bite back. As if all this wasn't enough, Noah advised us that sopapillas and honey were on the way, complimentary, if course. Of course.... I mean don't all mexican places in Tulsa provide free queso, hot fresh tortillas, relish and sopapillas with the meal? End result was a very happy diner. Overall experience was a 5 star. Food was 4.5 stars, only because I just don't give 5 stars on food as a rule. Wait staff.... well, Noah rocked. Staff was very, very friendly, service was excellent, food was best mexican food I've had in a long time. Even though we live in Owasso, this place is now my new favorite place for mexican food.

I have loved Teds for years but something has changed. I had chicken nachos with no flavor! My mother ordered a beef burrito - she received a ground beef that also had no flavor both were improved by putting queso

Amanda K.

really?? with so many decent upscale/downscale mexican restaurants its amazing that this place iis getting the reviews it is. the salsa is pretty bland, I usually get teh hot salsa and mix it together so there is at least a little heat in my salsa. the cheese is ok, the flour tortillas are probably the best thing about this place. my biggest complaint, aside from the food being boring/bland/ yet salty, is that if i order and you bring me my food in 90 seconds, I am a bit suspicious. at least pretend that you are cooking my food. MEH. go to abuelos and ask for Luis. or go to a roach coach.

Bobby G.

The chips, salsa, tortillas, sopapilla's and top notch service gets the 4 stars. They are all great. My combo fajitas were just so so and with iced tea were $18.94. Always feel a little rushed in here, they get the food out fast and there is always a line of people to take your table when you leave. If the prices were a little cheaper, I would go more.

Finally home!!!!! I've missed you Tulsa. So first meal home we hit up Ted's Escondido. Ted's became extremely popular in OKC and has several locations there. I remember eating there before the Tulsa location and honestly remember it being better. But maybe thats because I hadn't developed the inner mexican deep inside my soul yet. While the food isn't authentic and is only average, this is still a popular destination for many Tulsans in the area. I still enjoy coming here and hopefully someday I will find something on the menu that is reliable enough to eat when I come here. One thing that makes Ted's so fantastic and makes it stand out above some of the other Mexican joints in town is the free queso and tortillas. Thats right! Free Queso! Free Tortillas! Pretty freaking awesome. You will also get the chips and salsa for free too. I have not been anywhere that does this. Oh and if it doesn't get better you get complimentary Sopapias at the end of your meal. BAD ASS. You will not leave Ted's hungry. They give you so much food here it will make you angry. Share a plate with someone because all the stuff that comes out before you meal is enough to fill you. I ordered the Shredded Beef Burrito and my girlfriend go the Chicken Chimichanga with sour cream sauce. Shredded Beef Burrito- UH! this is not a burrito. This is more like a enchilada than anything. It had a enchilada style sauce over top of it with cheese. The tortilla wasn't burrito quality. Small and tough. And soggy in parts from the sauce. The shredded beef tasted like pot roast. Steer clear of the burrito. Beans and Rice were good. Chicken Chimichanga w/ sour cream sauce- Chimichanga's here are good as long as you eat it while its still hot. Once a Chimichanga starts to cool down the skin gets a little tough. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The sourcream sauce was pretty good. And it was stuffed with cheese which only makes it that much better. Ted's is great for family's but if you are on the quest for some of the best Mexican food treasure's home to Tulsa this should not be a stop for you. But hey, Free Queso and Tortillas is enough to make you go anyway.

Most overrated Tex Mex in Tulsa, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just spoiled because of my time in Texas, but I really didn't like this place. Yes, they give you chips and salsa and watery green stuff and watery queso, but is that worth it for the rest of what you get? My fajitas were bland and greasy; my wife's combo platter looked like a war zone. In fairness, my other companion that night ordered something called "The Best Tacos in the world" or something, and he went on and on the next day about them so maybe they were great. OTOH, that guy is from Philly so what does he know? ;-)

Found hair in my food twice and unfortunately had to eat there for a bday a few nights ago and it is still crappy. I don't understand why us Americans love crappy Mexican food. This place just bombards you with a ton of food and maybe you like the fact you're getting so much for so little. This place is disgusting!

Jack F.

Chips-salsa-atomic salsa- all Freebees much better than what you pay for! Mexican Corn and potatoes-your taste buds will thank you!! Then --the Fajitas cometh! The best Fajitas in Tulsa (as advertised) would give me a legal reason for small claim court Truth in Advertising clause. Way overcooked (maybe nuked) little taste - and they looked ready for graveside --(my tastebuds thought I had changed Restaurants! Must have had a Okie instead of Mexican cooking that night! (oops - wait - I'm an Okie and I make the absolute best Fajitas in the Territory - if I keep cookin like this they will have to grant us statehood ---however we might be better off staying a Territory!!! I'm way off target - sorry to waste our time? Travel on down the road if you want Fajitas -- little place in Seminole By tracks on West side of hy - now they know Fajitas! Teds in OKC never has let me down - try one of the locations there. If trying Tulsa - all Teds will cook to order - so describe in detail what you want your Fajitas to look like and contain --- then maybe you will be in better luck.

People come here because it is very casual and they have awesome salsa and chips. They even bring complimentary queso dip right away too. Upon request, they will gladly bring you their special spicy salsa and fresh warm tortillas before your meal. The service is great too, but the prices for entrees was a bit steep for the portion size. We were expecting our $13 burritos to be huge like you see at other Mexican restaurants, but they were pretty small. For dessert they also bring you complimentary warm sopapillas with honey. All of this complimentary food is accounted for in the high price of the meals, but it was still a good experience. Will continue my search for the best Mexican restaurant in Tulsa :)

I had to review this place due to the wide disparity of reviews for Ted's. If I had reviewed it after my first meal here, it would have gotten 4 stars. That was a week after the grand opening when the wait staff sported the mid-calf socks and they brought a bunch of delicious salsa without having to ask for them. The food was excellent at that time. I have been back since about 4 times hoping that it would be a similar experience. It hasn't been. The second trip, I got the fajitas and they didn't sizzle and seemed reheated, like they had been thrown under the salamander to heat them up before bringing them out. Definitely not freshly cooked. The following trips featured the same mediocre food. I don't know what happened since grand opening, but the cooks seemed to lose pride in their craft. You would think they could muster some great authentic Mexican with all the authentic Mexicans living here. If you need some good comida, go to Speedy Gonzales (on Sheridan not Mingo). It is small but their cooks still have it (and the price is great).

This placed was recommended to me and I was excited to try it out because they gave it rave reviews. I took my boyfriend and his cousin with me while visiting OK last week. We walked in and were relieved to see that there were quite a bit of people in there, assuming it was a testament to the quality of food and service. We were very wrong, and I felt bad that I had suggested this place in the first place. Maybe it is the fact that I was just in San Diego the week before eating AUTHENTIC Mexican food but I thought this place was a joke. They don't even have carne asada on the menu and that is like going to an Italian joint that doesn't serve spaghetti. Anyway... I ordered the fajitas, which they claim are very popular, and their "Perfect Margarita." The food arrived WAY before the drinks and the waitress repeatedly apologized saying that the bartender was really busy because he was also waiting tables that night. The fajitas were a huge disappointment... they arrived in really hot pans but not a sizzle could be heard, no steam seen. I've NEVER ordered fajitas that didn't come to your table sizzling... and everything in the dish was brown. It looked as though the food had been cooked hours ago and allowed to sit in the oven until all the vegetables cooked down to practially nothing. It even tasted a bit charcoal-y. The salsa and the queso at the beginning of the meal might as well have been bottled salsa and velveeta cheese. My boyfriend and his cousin were very verbal in their dislike of this restaurant as well so I didn't feel like I was being ridiculous about it. I don't think I would eat here again if ever back in OK.

I must confess, I did not believe my friends when they told me of this mysterious place that had free chips, queso, salsa, tortillas, and sopapillas. But Mmmm. Not only is it true, but it's fabulous. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything about Mexican food, and am not really a fan. But this place was great. The queso is fantastic, the margaritas delightful, the quesadillas cheesy and wonderful, and the sopapillas were the best I have ever had. They were totally soft, chewy, and full of air. They even give you the honey bottle so you can smear it on yourself. You won me over Ted. Although my main question is, who is Ted and why is he Mexican? Is that a Mexican name? I'm not sure...

Eric M.

A solid Tex Mex place. Love the fact that the chips queso and homehade tortillas are included as well as the sopapias to end the meal. Everything tha I have order was solid. Love the Mexican tacos which use a special marinade on their meat. Plan ahead b/c sometimes there can be long waits.

Back in the day, when I went to OU, this was the place where we went (the one in South OKC) after the month's loan payment came in and/or mom had sent a little extra cash with a newspaper clipping. It carries great memories. And just like then, the food, atmosphere, and experience are still great. To go on: - Really not the best Tex-Mex one could ask for (I am a born and bred Texan), but not bad -- this borders more on "Tex" (heavy cheese, lots of fried stuff) than it does on "mex" (use of different types of peppers, seafood here and there, etc) - You gotta give them props for the unlimited free chips, salsa, queso, and tortillas. In many big cities (like the one I live in, NYC) you have to PAY for each basket of chips and each bowl of salsa. You're saying "crime against humanity!" and you would be right -- AND! the chips, salsa, tortillas, queso are all really good - Sure you have to wait sometimes, but that's because it's good and lots of people want in -- however, they are decent at getting groups in and out efficiently - Surely everyone will want to watch them making tortillas through the window - Excellent service -- you will never have an empty drink - They have "sharing policies" and such to ensure everyone spends money - The cheese gods have blessed this place amply and continuously -- if there were ever to be a cheese shortage Ted's would have to shut down immediately Lastly, wear maternity pants when you go and don't eat several hours (and possibly the full day) before.

Chirag P.

I'm highly surprised by the low reviews for this place! Chips and salsa are flavorful, especially their hottest salsa, the meats they use in the standard fare of mexican food is well cooked and seasoned, low prices, and free sopapillas at the end of the meal. Well I will admit, I just recently moved down to the Tulsa area permanently from Boston, so maybe there's better out there. But for now, it gets 5 stars until I do find something better.

Food was 4.5 stars, only because I just don't give 5 stars on food as a rule. Wait staff.... well, Noah rocked. Staff was very, very friendly, service was excellent, food was best mexican food I've had in a long time. Even though we live in Owasso, this place is now my new favorite place for mexican food.

People come here because it is very casual and they have awesome salsa and chips. They even bring complimentary queso dip right away too. Upon request, they will gladly bring you their special spicy salsa and fresh warm tortillas before your meal. The service is great too, but the prices for entrees was a bit steep for the portion size. We were expecting our $13 burritos to be huge like you see at other Mexican restaurants, but they were pretty small. For dessert they also bring you complimentary warm sopapillas with honey. All of this complimentary food is accounted for in the high price of the meals, but it was still a good experience. Will continue my search for the best Mexican restaurant in Tulsa :)

The only thing nice I can say about this place is that they have great parking and a big lot. The wait was terrible. The service was bad. The tortillas were fresh and tasty. The queso was awful! I've never seen anything clump and have no taste. It was over priced for what you get. I had the tacos el carbon and the meat was flavorful. My husband had a burito combo and it was terrible. It was the first and last time we will be going. I was under the impression this was a Mexican restaraunt, not Tex-Mex. Maybe we're spoiled living in Arizona and frequent authentic Mexican here and in Southern Cal. I think you could get more authentic at Taco Bueno and save a lot of money. In the Tulsa area if you want an authentic Mexican, go to El Tequilla or a taco stand in little Mexico in East Tulsa.

Food is ok. The nice thing is you get fresh tortillas, chips, queso, and salsa which is more than other restaurants are doing anymore. If you like hot salsa, ask for the habenero salsa ( the hot not the avocado type ). The weird thing about this place is i have had better luck with the food when i do a call in order and pick it up. They normally have it ready within 15 minutes so it is great when the wife and i are out, we call in when we are leaving the last stop of our day.

I have loved Teds for years but something has changed. I had chicken nachos with no flavor! My mother ordered a beef burrito - she received a ground beef that also had no flavor both were improved by putting queso

Authentic it is not. If you are looking some very americanized Mexican food then this is your place. The service is sufficient. The portions are quite large, which is not always a good thing, lest one prefers indigestion over quality. Nonetheless, the place seems to stay busy, so there are many folks that enjoy this fare. As for me, I'll grill up some carne asada or if I'm lazy head over to La Reyna where they serve actual Mexican food.

Love their queso and tortillas! Service outstanding. Rice and beans: so so. Great tableside service. Free sopapillas at the end. You can't beat this place!

When we first got here there was a really long wait, but I expected that. We sat in the bar while we waited for our table. I went to the bar to order a drink and the bartender wouldn't even acknowledge me. My husband then went up and got served immediately. Weird. So he gets me an $11 margarita that tasted like 100 limes and zero tequila. When the manager say us I told him that I wasn't happy with that so he personally made me a "perfect margarita". The food was excellent, waitress excellent, manager excellent, bartender... I will give him the benefit of doubt that he was busy but for $11 I deserved a better margarita that the lime flavored ice he served me. Glad the manager made it right or this review would be much different.

I gave this place a try today with two of my coworkers on our lunch break and was rather disappointed. When we first walked in there were a couple of large groups with a lot of children waiting to be seated. However, the entry staff were fast and friendly and it only took 10-15 minutes to be seated. After that, things went downhill. The only positive was that our food came out of the kitchen right away. Everything else left a bad impression. First, our waiter took our complimentary chip basket (which wasn't even half empty) when he brought out our entrees saying that he was going to get some more. We never saw those chips, or any others, again for the rest of the meal. So much for the free chips and salsa. Second, the food was really disappointing. I ordered the lunch special with 2 cheese enchiladas and one sour cream chicken enchilada. Since the entrees don't come with any sides whatsoever, they just coat the huge plate with sauce to make it look like you are getting your $9 worth (you're not). Apparently, the service is fast because they don't add any flavor to the food. The queso and my enchiladas were so bland that I can honestly say I've had better TV dinners. The salsa was decent in comparison, but the chicken had WAY too much salt. This place certainly didn't live up to the hype.

really?? with so many decent upscale/downscale mexican restaurants its amazing that this place iis getting the reviews it is. the salsa is pretty bland, I usually get teh hot salsa and mix it together so there is at least a little heat in my salsa. the cheese is ok, the flour tortillas are probably the best thing about this place. my biggest complaint, aside from the food being boring/bland/ yet salty, is that if i order and you bring me my food in 90 seconds, I am a bit suspicious. at least pretend that you are cooking my food. MEH. go to abuelos and ask for Luis. or go to a roach coach.

The chips, salsa, tortillas, sopapilla's and top notch service gets the 4 stars. They are all great. My combo fajitas were just so so and with iced tea were $18.94. Always feel a little rushed in here, they get the food out fast and there is always a line of people to take your table when you leave. If the prices were a little cheaper, I would go more.

Finally home!!!!! I've missed you Tulsa. So first meal home we hit up Ted's Escondido. Ted's became extremely popular in OKC and has several locations there. I remember eating there before the Tulsa location and honestly remember it being better. But maybe thats because I hadn't developed the inner mexican deep inside my soul yet. While the food isn't authentic and is only average, this is still a popular destination for many Tulsans in the area. I still enjoy coming here and hopefully someday I will find something on the menu that is reliable enough to eat when I come here. One thing that makes Ted's so fantastic and makes it stand out above some of the other Mexican joints in town is the free queso and tortillas. Thats right! Free Queso! Free Tortillas! Pretty freaking awesome. You will also get the chips and salsa for free too. I have not been anywhere that does this. Oh and if it doesn't get better you get complimentary Sopapias at the end of your meal. BAD ASS. You will not leave Ted's hungry. They give you so much food here it will make you angry. Share a plate with someone because all the stuff that comes out before you meal is enough to fill you. I ordered the Shredded Beef Burrito and my girlfriend go the Chicken Chimichanga with sour cream sauce. Shredded Beef Burrito- UH! this is not a burrito. This is more like a enchilada than anything. It had a enchilada style sauce over top of it with cheese. The tortilla wasn't burrito quality. Small and tough. And soggy in parts from the sauce. The shredded beef tasted like pot roast. Steer clear of the burrito. Beans and Rice were good. Chicken Chimichanga w/ sour cream sauce- Chimichanga's here are good as long as you eat it while its still hot. Once a Chimichanga starts to cool down the skin gets a little tough. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The sourcream sauce was pretty good. And it was stuffed with cheese which only makes it that much better. Ted's is great for family's but if you are on the quest for some of the best Mexican food treasure's home to Tulsa this should not be a stop for you. But hey, Free Queso and Tortillas is enough to make you go anyway.

The good food and better service make Ted's an Oklahoma favorite. Go soon if you haven't been.

Back in the day, when I went to OU, this was the place where we went (the one in South OKC) after the month's loan payment came in and/or mom had sent a little extra cash with a newspaper clipping. It carries great memories. And just like then, the food, atmosphere, and experience are still great. To go on: - Really not the best Tex-Mex one could ask for (I am a born and bred Texan), but not bad -- this borders more on "Tex" (heavy cheese, lots of fried stuff) than it does on "mex" (use of different types of peppers, seafood here and there, etc) - You gotta give them props for the unlimited free chips, salsa, queso, and tortillas. In many big cities (like the one I live in, NYC) you have to PAY for each basket of chips and each bowl of salsa. You're saying "crime against humanity!" and you would be right -- AND! the chips, salsa, tortillas, queso are all really good - Sure you have to wait sometimes, but that's because it's good and lots of people want in -- however, they are decent at getting groups in and out efficiently - Surely everyone will want to watch them making tortillas through the window - Excellent service -- you will never have an empty drink - They have "sharing policies" and such to ensure everyone spends money - The cheese gods have blessed this place amply and continuously -- if there were ever to be a cheese shortage Ted's would have to shut down immediately Lastly, wear maternity pants when you go and don't eat several hours (and possibly the full day) before.

I'm highly surprised by the low reviews for this place! Chips and salsa are flavorful, especially their hottest salsa, the meats they use in the standard fare of mexican food is well cooked and seasoned, low prices, and free sopapillas at the end of the meal. Well I will admit, I just recently moved down to the Tulsa area permanently from Boston, so maybe there's better out there. But for now, it gets 5 stars until I do find something better.

Great! I had a great experience at another Ted's and was hopeful for another one. They were great! Excellent service from Josh and very accommodating to gluten-free. Too bad I'm just visiting OK. I can't wait to come back:-)

The Best Mexican Tacos really are the BEST! Service is amazingly quick. Fed my family of 4 for $25.00. That's a great value.

As a vegan with celiac disease I was not happy with my meal. Although I did not have high expectations. However, the service here is excellent. Every person I encountered, including management who went above and beyond, was fantastic. Well done on their staffing choices.

I must confess, I did not believe my friends when they told me of this mysterious place that had free chips, queso, salsa, tortillas, and sopapillas. But Mmmm. Not only is it true, but it's fabulous. Now, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything about Mexican food, and am not really a fan. But this place was great. The queso is fantastic, the margaritas delightful, the quesadillas cheesy and wonderful, and the sopapillas were the best I have ever had. They were totally soft, chewy, and full of air. They even give you the honey bottle so you can smear it on yourself. You won me over Ted. Although my main question is, who is Ted and why is he Mexican? Is that a Mexican name? I'm not sure...

A solid Tex Mex place. Love the fact that the chips queso and homehade tortillas are included as well as the sopapias to end the meal. Everything tha I have order was solid. Love the Mexican tacos which use a special marinade on their meat. Plan ahead b/c sometimes there can be long waits.

Most overrated Tex Mex in Tulsa, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just spoiled because of my time in Texas, but I really didn't like this place. Yes, they give you chips and salsa and watery green stuff and watery queso, but is that worth it for the rest of what you get? My fajitas were bland and greasy; my wife's combo platter looked like a war zone. In fairness, my other companion that night ordered something called "The Best Tacos in the world" or something, and he went on and on the next day about them so maybe they were great. OTOH, that guy is from Philly so what does he know? ;-)

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
