Took a little lunch date with my co-workers, and came to 1492. The selection is pretty amazing. But we choose not to pig-out. Instead we ordered from the lunch menu which is tex-mex and all $9 each, except for the fajitas which are $12. I got the chicken burrito and beef taco entree. The food was pretty good for tex-mex. I got a little side of cilantro sauce which was wonderful. The service was good and very friendly. I would love to come back for their latin american dinner menu which is $15-$20 per dish. Definitely recommended for a lunch place for a reasonable price.

first off..this is a place that's named after the year that Columbus intiated the genocide of the Native Americas. That's probably not a good name. It would be like a place called Auschwitz that served latkes. Anyway...the food isn't very good either. The enchillidas are about us good as you would get in a tv dinner. My girlfriend's steak wasn't cooked correctly.The queso had a film on it when he got it. Say what you will about Ted's and other places like it, it knows what it is and doesn't pretend to be something else. You get fresh queso because you know cold queso is grross. it was so overpriced too. it's in a very hip neighborhood so that's something. i think it's great that OKC is getting cool places to eat at and all that. but this place isn't very good. meh.

This is a great place to have some awesome mexican/latin food. The atmosphere is fairly casual. the staff if great, and very attentive. You have to try the 1492 queso. I've also had the fajitas, but if your want one of the best dinners of your life, get the duck enchiladas. You will think you are in heaven. I can't remember this place any more. You have to go.

I've been to 1492 three times now. It's generally been above average, but this last meal was pretty mediocre in my opinion. My partner's meal was fine, but mine was lacking in so many aspects, I just can't ignore it. First off, my rice was cold. My beans were salty and the shrimp taquitos that I ordered were missing the spinach and was just lack luster. Plain, no salt, no acid, no punch. For $18, I could make better at home. I don't send dishes back to be spit on. I just don't return.
Loved the devote and service but the food was poor. I had the rib eye and it was gross, fat and just terrible.

Crispy tacos, my fav: excellent! Retro building & fun view. Watched someone across the street do their 'ice bucket' challenge. Waiter sweet & helpful with suggestions.

This place has seen quite a turn around! Fresh is the name of the game here. Great salsas, drink menu, and ambiance. I wish the prices weren't quite so high, but this is a MUST for everyone. While the menu is adventurous and expansive, sometimes I like to just get the very affordable Bean & Cheese Nachos. It may sound simple, but it is tasty, colorful, and appealing when combined with the pico de gallo, guacamole, and salsas. I used to hold sort of a grudge against this place and would joke with my friends that "it wasn't New World Latin Cuisine...it is Old World Tex-Mex." Well I was wrong. They have put a lot of love into this place, including the menu, and with such high volume it is always fresh now. I just needed to order from the right part of the menu. More on that at the bottom. If affordability is a concern, go for lunch, or check out those Bean and Cheese Nachos. You won't be disappointed! Go a bit early and stay late though. The lunch crowd and parking can be a bit overwhelming right at noon. If money is no object, try the Seafood Enchiladas or the Skewered Chipotle Shrimp, get a specialty drink, and tell your friend to split the Ceviche with you for an appetizer (or try the Queso Fundido if you have a big group). But tell your friend NOT to order the Avocado Chimichurri Ribeye. It can tend to get dried out unless you are OK with getting it rare or medium rare like I get it. Also avoid the Tex-Mex portion of the menu. It's not the showcase of greatness here; it is simply what many want (i.e. to run home to something familiar). This place is for exploring new flavors and enjoying the experience! Be adventurous! This is what life is about!

Great location with a descent bar area. The tex-mex plates are tasty but nothing special. We'll definitely try their speciality plates next time we go... Ah, but the queso was cold and our waitress was all over the place which is why the rating is okay. But the margaritas were great so I guess that evens out our dinning experience.

This was my first time at 1492 and I have to say, it was pretty fantastic. First of all, their salsa is AWESOME! It's a bit hto but totally delicious, and their tortilla chips are also really delicious. They make sure to keep your dish full, so try not to fill up on the chips, as their food is really tremendous as well. We shared the black bean queso, which went pretty fantastically with the chips. For dinner I had the chicken enchiladas and instead of rice and beans, asked if they would substitute plantains instead. All in all, this dinner was delicious, and the next time I'm not looking to mind my waistline (because I ate a ridiculous amount of chips and salsa), I will definitely be coming back here. It was awesome!

We were gifted tickets to see Phantom of the Opera several months ago and planned a fancy night out. When picking the place to eat, we wanted something not too far from the Civic Center but also something classy and someplace with good food we both liked. I suggested 1492 and my husband was all for it. We had been here once before for lunch menu, and enjoyed it greatly. We don't go out often for fancy food, but when we do, we try to pick someplace new to us. This time we thought back to a great experience as we wanted to make sure there were no surprises. Well, that did not go as planned. But the surprises were in trying new dishes and being wowed by them. So, a good surprise! We tried some new dishes, though the Queso Fundido was a repeat from our last visit as it was just fantastic then and now. I believe I may have said..."I want to kiss you now and not because you are my handsome husband this time but because you have a bit of queso at the corner of your lips". Yeah it is that good. He is handsome too, but yeah this time it was for the queso. He didn't let me though. Pouting. We got the Pollo Con Hongos for him and it was beautiful and a lot of food. He let me try some of the chicken and a mushroom. Great flavor and well, he could not eat all the veggies included with the meat. Our waiter, Denzel (very nice fellow and so helpful), helped suggest something for me. The Pabellon is amazing. It had a flavor that was out of this world. I think he said it was marinated with a red wine... not sure on that but the taste was quite wonderful. There were plantains cooked just perfectly to add a touch of sweet that was not overpowering but accented the pork just exactly the right way. Thank you, Denzel. The atmosphere was everything we could hope for on this night out. Quiet with lovely Latin music and gentle lighting. It was not crowded as we got there earlier than the typical dinner crowd. I wanted to take our time and yet not run the risk of being late to the show. Denzel kept our chips and teas refilled. Poor guy didn't know he got the couple that would each drink a gallon of tea with our meals. But he was always there right when the glasses hit bottom. All in all, great night, great food, and great company. Even if I didn't get that kiss till later after the queso was gone. Grin.

Ordered the ribeye fajitas. I'll admit I'm pretty scrutinizing when it comes to Tex-mex because I'm from San Antonio. That being said, I spent 21 dollars on "ribeye" meat that wasn't fajita tender, could not by any means feed "four people" and honestly wasn't even that well seasoned. Now one would say "well that's not a very fair review because he's from San Antonio" which I could understand. But I'm fairly positive that I could find better, cheaper fajita plates in south Okc that would blow this place out of the water. The food was not gross, it was just not anywhere near worth it. Good service. They need to stop pretending like the crew of the Santa Maria is back there whipping up some time traveling chimichangas. They're not. Chips too large as well. Good salsa.

Came here in Friday night and it was packed. They started the group off with chips and salsa, which were standard, but I felt like the chips were too big which made them hard to pick up salsa(kinda). I did like habanero salsa they gave us at request, super spicy! Ordered the el jefe, which was a plate with two small beef burritos with green queso over it. The meat inside the burrito was very good, and the queso was nice and cheesy, but I found myself getting tired of it after the first burrito. The retried beans were good, rice was nothing to talk about. But really, I think I could have am chose a better dish, some of the stuff my friends ordered were huge plates and looked much better. 3.5 stars, but I'm giving them 4 to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Love the queso and the food. Really offset when told we couldn't sit at a table because they would all be full at 5:30. 5/6 of the tables in bar completely empty at 545 when we left.

Natasha W.
The food is very good. Unique from other "mexican" places in OKC. My only complaint is that the rate at which they bring water is not a good ratio to the spiciness of the salsa. (My cup was empty, the restaurant was not full, the salsa is good and spicy). The prices are a little on the high side, but it is a nice place, the portions are huge, and the quality does not suffer at the expense of the portion size. I got the beef fajitas for lunch - my husband and I could have easily shared this and been quite full. On another occasion I had the shrimp and mushroom tacos which rocked my world. The fried plantains are a unique and delicious addition to many dishes. I would go back for a special occasion, or with another Amazon deal or Groupon.

What I like most about coming here is the 1492 queso. It has beans, beef, guacamole and sour cream, and all of it mixed together is downright heavenly. Other than that, I haven't been overly impressed with what I've had here. Their lunch specials are decently priced, but if you're coming for dinner, it's on the expensive side. I can't say I've enjoyed lunch enough to come for dinner, although their dinner menu looks more appealing than lunch. The chicken enchiladas I had were not good but the beef burrito was slightly better.

Erin T.
Really the best vegetarian quesadilla. Coming from a girl who doesn't adore cheese, zucchini, shrooms or flour tortillas. But the tees leches cake is about 3% leche in a misguided attempt to mimic Italian creme cake. Monstrosity in size has replaced a traditional dessert. 1492 is more Latin fussy than fusion.

This has been on of our favorite places to go to on date nights, we have never been disappointed with the food. If you like fish and steak, this is definitely the spot to try. I've always loved the tilapia, and this past visit I tried the seafood enchiladas--they were great! My husband had one of the best steaks ever here, the salsa is always fresh--the mojitos are perfect! The only reason I'm leaving off a star is due to the parking chaos we encountered last week. It turns out, Louie's, Stella & 1492 share only a small portion of the parking lot. The rest is designated to Boulevard Cafeteria. When we arrived for our 6:30p reservation, there were a TON of open spots behind 1492, so my husband pulled into one. A man from Boulevard approached him & rudely told him he couldn't park there because it was Boulevard parking (reiterating--half of their parking lot was empty). My husband pulled out of the spot, & since three popular restaurant share only a couple rows of parking, it was impossible to find a spot. He finally had to go park behind Cafe do Brasil. /-: We asked the 1492 hostess about this, & she said that the Boulevard owner has been driving their customers away--or at the very least, ticking them off. I'm really hoping 1492 (and the other restaurants) figure this parking drama out, or add more parking, it almost made us leave. The only reason we didn't is because we were trying to stick to schedule so we could make the Thunder game. I've even heard Boulevard will tow cars in their lot, I understand they want to make sure their customers have parking, but this was overkill.

We love Mexican food. This place has that and much more. The prices are reasonable especially with the amount of food you get. We plan to go back. My husband had a dish with shrimp in it. I had the Tex-Mex platter that had just about everything on it. We also had the queso. Very friendly people too. This made my second lunch there. We will be back.

It was a quiet Sunday morning when I visited 1492 for brunch. Not a soul except the waitstaff and my brunch companions were there. Given the popularity of brunch in OKC, it was equally weird and nice to have a restaurant to ourselves. Their menu was encompassing with quite a Latin flair on brunch. Usually, I opt for eggs benedict, but I was daring and went for the mascarpone French toast with mango compote on top. It was good, but I wasn't expecting the French toast to be completely fried. While it tasted ok, my stomach bothered me the rest of the day. I blame it on the fried toast. My brunch companions noted that although their food was quite good, it was also quite spicy. It's not brunch without a bit of daydrinking, and although mimosas are the Sunday morning staple, 1492's sangria was super yum. With pineapple and mango pieces, it was a delicious addition to my Sunday morning. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars, because even though I had a pleasant time and the food was good, the service was a little slow for being the only ones in the restaurant (it took 20 minutes for my coffee to arrive...). And unfortunately, like other reviewers, there did seem to be a funny smell subtly permeating the restaurant. How odd. Regardless, I would not actively discourage people from trying out 1492. It's not bad, but there's definitely better out there.

I have been here before and didn't remember anything negative about the place. A friend suggested this place for dinner so I gladly agreed, considering I hadn't planned dinner for my birthday. We were seated immediately and we got water, salsa and chip right away. The waiter was a delight and very prompt. We ordered the 1492 queso, which was a pretty large serving with avocados, meat sauce and tomatoes. I ordered the blackened tilapia, which was somewhat sweet. She ordered the 2 burritos which was really good.She did have an Amazon Local coupon for $30 that she handed at this point. She mentioned it was my birthday and the waiter suggested the Tres Leches as it would be great to share. It came out as a huge wedge cake style that was a taste explosion in your mouth. With the complimentary birthday dessert, the final price was under $10. They didn't show any discontent or agony for using the coupon. Very impressed with the service and will be back, once I finish all the leftovers.

Tip #1 - if you see a Amazon Local for this restaurant - buy it!!!! I've had some horrible Amazon Local, Living Social and Groupon experiences but this wasn't one of them. This restaurant is located near Stella's. I went to Stella's at the end of April. I asked a friend about 1492 and he said the food was pretty good. I bought the Groupon which was $15 for $30. I kinda wished I had bought the $30 for $60. On Thursday my friend asked me what I was doing that night. I was hungry and owed him a favor so I asked him if he wanted to go and eat. Parking at the restaurant is not the best at 7 pm but you can find it. We went into the restaurant and was immediately seated by the window. I really like sitting by a window so I can people watch. Immediately we were brought salsa, chips and water. I had seen there 1492 queso and wanted to try it. My friend ordered fish and I had two burritos which came with beans and rice. During the dinner I found out it was my friends b day!!! At the end of dinner the waiter brought him a complimentary dessert! but without the singing. The waiter was so nice. Even if he didn't do the complimentary dessert I would have given him a large tip. He was on top of everything! And super friendly. All of the food I tasted that night was really good. The only downside to this restaurant was cost. In my opinion it is pretty pricey. I would go back but not very often.

Let me state this first- 1492 is NOT a tex-mex place, although they do have some of the "regular" fare on their menu. 1492 is an elevated Latin food experience, so if you are looking for "enchiladas and refried beans", while 1492 could do them with excellence, please go to El Chicos (no offense to those that like El Chicos). This was our fourth or fifth trip to 1492, and FINALLY I'm writing a review! The fact that it merited going back multiple times says volumes. If I have a bad experience at a restaurant the first go 'round, I seldom go back, and IF I do, that second trip will be the make or break. I've never had even a moderately disappointing experience at 1492. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is boisterous, exciting, chic. (we've never been when it wasn't at least busy, more often than not it's packed) The staff is decent and helpful, but I do have to say that they always seem pulled a little thin. Our waitress for dinner this time was very friendly, cheerful, energetic, but she was running around like, well, like an overburdened waitstaff. She never missed a beat, and was pleasant despite the rush. The food: We started with Cocktail del Mar "Tilapia, Lump Crab, and Shrimp "Ceviche" in a Pineapple Mango Pico de Gallo". Amazingly light, fresh, WONDERFUL! It was a HUGE portion, and we literally had to make a conscious decision to stop inhaling it so we'd have room for our entrees. We managed to slow down enough to leave some to take home. It's currently taunting me from the fridge. My meal choice was the Pineapple Espresso Pork "Marinated Centercut Pork Tenderlion served atop Grilled Pineapple and Chipotle Mash Potatoes". Yum. The pork was ever so slightly dry, but not enough to take away from the overall deliciousness. The grilled pineapple was perfectly finished, great grill flavor, but still juicy and sweet. I am starting to get glassy eyed as I think about the chipotle potatoes... They were everything great mashed potatoes should be- slightly lumpy, not too dense, fluffy enough to carry the weight of the pieces of potato throughout, but not so fluffy that they have no body. Perfect. Add in the outrageously tasty chipotle flavor, and WOW! Perhaps next time, I will order the Cocktail del Mar, and some chipotle mashed potatoes. My wife chose the Taquitos de Camaron "Shrimp Sauteed with Mushrooms, Bacon, Green Onions with our Spicy Rub. Topped with Avocado, along side Coconut Rice, Black Beans". Her only complaint was the lack of bigger pieces of shrimp versus the overwhelming amount of bacon. My thought was "can you have too much bacon?" She showed me, and I had to concur. The upside (not that there's a "downside" necessarily) was the bacon flavor had invaded the coconut rice, and made something magical happen! Their coconut rice is always fantastic, but the addition of the bacon flavor made it something simply incredible. My least favorite place to sit in any restaurant is adjacent to the "flow" area, near the kitchen, in the main pathway of every server, busboy, manager...and some folks that I'm not even sure they should be there. This is where our table was this evening. At first I was a tad concerned, that it would be distracting, troublesome and would detract from our meal. I was wrong. This may sound odd, but when the staff exited the kitchen area, it was much like actors engaging their roles before entering the stage. Sure, you know the backstage area is there, and the chaos that accompanies it, but not once did that chaos leak onto the "stage" not did the waitstaff "break character". We watched waiter after waiter come out, balancing tray after tray of deliciousness to waiting guests, and not once was there even so much as a hint of what was lurking behind those swinging doors. We were served by three members of the staff, including a manager, and they were all wonderful. Even with our main waitress being busier than busy, she was still fully engaged with each table. 1492, you are still one of my favorites. I recommend 1492 to everyone I talk to about good food and great atmosphere, and this time around just bolstered that sentiment.

I've been here a few times with coworkers for lunch and have loved it each time! One time there was a large group, so there was a bit of a wait, but another time our group of 3 was seated right away. They have very good salsa (Its pretty spicy) and bring chip refills often! The only thing I've had here are their chicken nachos, which are really delicious! The only downside to this place is that parking can be a little battle during lunchtime! But cross your fingers for a spot, then enjoy some yummy food!

Aarash G.
Great location and a great use of the building. I rate 1492 3.5 stars. Their food is good and they have a variety of menu options and some unique menu items as well. The fajitas are good and their guacamole is great. I did not like the Carne Asada much and did not care for the pollo mole either. Their salsa is good and has a pretty good kick to it, but I wish it was a little thicker and less runny. I really like their frozen drink options and they have some unique drinks like frozen mojitos that I rarely find anywhere else in OKC. I don't usually drink frozen drinks, but someone I'm with always orders one and I enjoy trying it. One of the things that's keeping me from giving 1492 a 4 star rating is the cleanliness of the restaurant. Their menus come out with food and salsa stains all over them that is not the first thing you want to see when you sit down at a restaurant. The tables also have that "wet rag" smell that I often find in restaurants that just wipe down the tables with the same rag. I hate that smell. 1492 is a good place to get a quick meal for lunch in OKC and it's not a bad place for a Saturday or Sunday brunch. What's keeping it from being 4 stars is the cleanliness of the facility.

I was so surprised with this place. What a gem. When I landed here in OKC, I tried to YELP to find something unique that would fit my pallet, but wasn't wow'ed by what I was reading. I asked the Bellman at the Hotel and he recommended 1492. I had a cuban pork shoulder stuffed and aged with pork cutlets, prunes and brown sugar. It came with black beans and coconut rice. The meal was a little piece of heaven.

This was a really nice restaurant with central American style. Even though they were packed with prom goers, we were seated in less than 15 minutes. The prices were great at $12-30 per person. This was not packaged food from the freezer! I loved the queso. It was super cheesy and not all watered down like most. The chips were fresh and I highly recommend the Habanero salsa if you like spicy! The enchiladas were great as were the beans and rice. My wife and our guest loved their food and both wished they had shared as there was so much food. Would have been a 5 but our service lacked a bit. Eating hot sauce, I had to go without a drink for 10-15 minutes between visits from server. We will be ack though!

Daya C.
Let me start by saying the meals here are usually great for the lunch time. I love the spicy salsa and freshly made tortilla chips. Today, I had told my server that I can't have any cheese/dairy/milk products since I'm severely lactose intolerant. When my meal came out, there was shredded cheese on the beans, my burrito, and the taco. When I brought this to my server's attention, she took my plate after apologizing and went to the kitchen. 5 minutes later, she comes back with the same plate of food. The reason I knew it was the same plate was because the cheese was scraped off the items and there were remaining cheese bits left of the items. I didn't want to be a diva so I didn't say anything, but if a person asks for no anything, the server needs to make sure there isn't any on a new plate than just scraping it off. What if I had a food allergy?!

1492 does a really solid job of offering good food consistently. My wife loves the queso blanco and tortilla soup while I enjoy the seafood enchiladas and fish tacos. Their prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The service is typically good. Parking is sometimes hard to find when the midtown plaza area is busy. All in all a good restaurant in a growing and trendy area. I do wish they would offer one or two premium NA beers for those of us that love beer and Mexican/Latin food.

This is our favorite spot for happy hour! It's Mon-Fri from 4-7. $3-4 for margaritas and Latin fusions. Beware, they're strong!! The food is also great. I've had several items and liked them all. The fajita salad is a fave!

Convenient location with decent food, and definitely a good lunch value. My sister and I split the lunch order of fajitas - which was plenty for us. The guac is delicious, and we liked our server. We had a big group and they got our food out really quickly. I do think the dinner entrees are too expensive for what they are. Also, and this is probably just a personal thing, but I never think it smells very good in there. It doesn't smell like the yummy mexican food you're about to enjoy, and maybe because I've worked in restaurants too long, but I smell the dishwater or the dumpster or something. Again, maybe just a little sensitive, or maybe it needs a deep clean. I think it is a good place for a quick lunch. I agree with Andrew H; it's hard to eat here when it's in the shadow of Cafe do Brasil unless it's Monday when CdoB is closed.

1492 is a delicious Latin cuisine restaurant in the Midtown area. They get pretty busy so I would recommend reservations. They offer a menu that has traditional Tex-Mex food but they also offer extensive authentic Latin cuisine. They have some pretty delicious fish tacos, a fish stew, traditional pork items, fried plantains, fried yucca that resemble shoestring french fries, and my favorite which is the seafood enchiladas. The seafood enchiladas is a mix of lobster, fish, crab, and shrimp rolled in a tortilla and topped with a basil cream sauce. It comes with a order of rice and beans. 1492 offers black beans as well as several kinds of rices such as cilantro rice and coconut rice, which is my favorite. I have also tried their fish tacos which are grilled and topped with purple cabbage. It is not traditional Baja style fried fish but is still very tasty and flavorful. Im also haunted with the memory of a lamb chop special that they had one time which was served with a smoked Gouda mac & cheese. Mmmmmm, it was delicious! 1492 serves complimentary chips and a pretty spicy salsa at the beginning of your meal. They also have a fantastic drink menu with some very tasty cocktails, such as margaritas including specialty house margaritas and my very favorite which is a frozen Mojito. I believe they have happy hour specials in the bar area for discounts on food and drinks, but I would call and head to doublecheck. This is in a fantastic location and I have never been disappointed with the food. Like I mentioned before, they can get a little bit busy so expect a bit of a wait for freshly made food. The service is typically good, although I think that they could invest in having a more available hostess. Many times I have gone and the hostess has not been at the hostess stand; instead she is busy clearing tables, bringing people drinks, etc. However, I like that the managers are readily available on the floor. 1492 is definitely an interesting and unique latin restaurant for the Oklahoma City area, it's nice to have something a little different than Tex-Mex!

1492 is our new fav happy hour spot. $4 margaritas, and a new thing I discovered...the frozen mojitos!! So good. I also love the 1492 queso. Perfect to share with several people. I've never had a bad thing off their menu. *note...the cheese taco is actually a cheese enchilada, but so much better.

Took a little lunch date with my co-workers, and came to 1492. The selection is pretty amazing. But we choose not to pig-out. Instead we ordered from the lunch menu which is tex-mex and all $9 each, except for the fajitas which are $12. I got the chicken burrito and beef taco entree. The food was pretty good for tex-mex. I got a little side of cilantro sauce which was wonderful. The service was good and very friendly. I would love to come back for their latin american dinner menu which is $15-$20 per dish. Definitely recommended for a lunch place for a reasonable price.

first off..this is a place that's named after the year that Columbus intiated the genocide of the Native Americas. That's probably not a good name. It would be like a place called Auschwitz that served latkes. Anyway...the food isn't very good either. The enchillidas are about us good as you would get in a tv dinner. My girlfriend's steak wasn't cooked correctly.The queso had a film on it when he got it. Say what you will about Ted's and other places like it, it knows what it is and doesn't pretend to be something else. You get fresh queso because you know cold queso is grross. it was so overpriced too. it's in a very hip neighborhood so that's something. i think it's great that OKC is getting cool places to eat at and all that. but this place isn't very good. meh.

This is a great place to have some awesome mexican/latin food. The atmosphere is fairly casual. the staff if great, and very attentive. You have to try the 1492 queso. I've also had the fajitas, but if your want one of the best dinners of your life, get the duck enchiladas. You will think you are in heaven. I can't remember this place any more. You have to go.

I've been to 1492 three times now. It's generally been above average, but this last meal was pretty mediocre in my opinion. My partner's meal was fine, but mine was lacking in so many aspects, I just can't ignore it. First off, my rice was cold. My beans were salty and the shrimp taquitos that I ordered were missing the spinach and was just lack luster. Plain, no salt, no acid, no punch. For $18, I could make better at home. I don't send dishes back to be spit on. I just don't return.

Wow!!!Started with Cocktail Del Mar,Tilapia, lumpcrab, and shrimp Ceviche in a pineapple mango pico! POW Then Enciladas depasto...shredded duck sautéed with pineapple, sweet malta, toped with spicey cream....Awesome Guacamole was very fresh and we added salt and lime to taste! Pricey but portions are easily shared! Different in a good way!!

Loved the devote and service but the food was poor. I had the rib eye and it was gross, fat and just terrible.
(2)C S.
Crispy tacos, my fav: excellent! Retro building & fun view. Watched someone across the street do their 'ice bucket' challenge. Waiter sweet & helpful with suggestions.

This place has seen quite a turn around! Fresh is the name of the game here. Great salsas, drink menu, and ambiance. I wish the prices weren't quite so high, but this is a MUST for everyone. While the menu is adventurous and expansive, sometimes I like to just get the very affordable Bean & Cheese Nachos. It may sound simple, but it is tasty, colorful, and appealing when combined with the pico de gallo, guacamole, and salsas. I used to hold sort of a grudge against this place and would joke with my friends that "it wasn't New World Latin Cuisine...it is Old World Tex-Mex." Well I was wrong. They have put a lot of love into this place, including the menu, and with such high volume it is always fresh now. I just needed to order from the right part of the menu. More on that at the bottom. If affordability is a concern, go for lunch, or check out those Bean and Cheese Nachos. You won't be disappointed! Go a bit early and stay late though. The lunch crowd and parking can be a bit overwhelming right at noon. If money is no object, try the Seafood Enchiladas or the Skewered Chipotle Shrimp, get a specialty drink, and tell your friend to split the Ceviche with you for an appetizer (or try the Queso Fundido if you have a big group). But tell your friend NOT to order the Avocado Chimichurri Ribeye. It can tend to get dried out unless you are OK with getting it rare or medium rare like I get it. Also avoid the Tex-Mex portion of the menu. It's not the showcase of greatness here; it is simply what many want (i.e. to run home to something familiar). This place is for exploring new flavors and enjoying the experience! Be adventurous! This is what life is about!

Haven't had a bad dish here!!! Swirls are delicious!! Upscale dining but not cheap. Get what you pay for!!!
(5)Jere L.
Great location with a descent bar area. The tex-mex plates are tasty but nothing special. We'll definitely try their speciality plates next time we go... Ah, but the queso was cold and our waitress was all over the place which is why the rating is okay. But the margaritas were great so I guess that evens out our dinning experience.
(3)Courtney S.
This was my first time at 1492 and I have to say, it was pretty fantastic. First of all, their salsa is AWESOME! It's a bit hto but totally delicious, and their tortilla chips are also really delicious. They make sure to keep your dish full, so try not to fill up on the chips, as their food is really tremendous as well. We shared the black bean queso, which went pretty fantastically with the chips. For dinner I had the chicken enchiladas and instead of rice and beans, asked if they would substitute plantains instead. All in all, this dinner was delicious, and the next time I'm not looking to mind my waistline (because I ate a ridiculous amount of chips and salsa), I will definitely be coming back here. It was awesome!

We were gifted tickets to see Phantom of the Opera several months ago and planned a fancy night out. When picking the place to eat, we wanted something not too far from the Civic Center but also something classy and someplace with good food we both liked. I suggested 1492 and my husband was all for it. We had been here once before for lunch menu, and enjoyed it greatly. We don't go out often for fancy food, but when we do, we try to pick someplace new to us. This time we thought back to a great experience as we wanted to make sure there were no surprises. Well, that did not go as planned. But the surprises were in trying new dishes and being wowed by them. So, a good surprise! We tried some new dishes, though the Queso Fundido was a repeat from our last visit as it was just fantastic then and now. I believe I may have said..."I want to kiss you now and not because you are my handsome husband this time but because you have a bit of queso at the corner of your lips". Yeah it is that good. He is handsome too, but yeah this time it was for the queso. He didn't let me though. Pouting. We got the Pollo Con Hongos for him and it was beautiful and a lot of food. He let me try some of the chicken and a mushroom. Great flavor and well, he could not eat all the veggies included with the meat. Our waiter, Denzel (very nice fellow and so helpful), helped suggest something for me. The Pabellon is amazing. It had a flavor that was out of this world. I think he said it was marinated with a red wine... not sure on that but the taste was quite wonderful. There were plantains cooked just perfectly to add a touch of sweet that was not overpowering but accented the pork just exactly the right way. Thank you, Denzel. The atmosphere was everything we could hope for on this night out. Quiet with lovely Latin music and gentle lighting. It was not crowded as we got there earlier than the typical dinner crowd. I wanted to take our time and yet not run the risk of being late to the show. Denzel kept our chips and teas refilled. Poor guy didn't know he got the couple that would each drink a gallon of tea with our meals. But he was always there right when the glasses hit bottom. All in all, great night, great food, and great company. Even if I didn't get that kiss till later after the queso was gone. Grin.

Ordered the ribeye fajitas. I'll admit I'm pretty scrutinizing when it comes to Tex-mex because I'm from San Antonio. That being said, I spent 21 dollars on "ribeye" meat that wasn't fajita tender, could not by any means feed "four people" and honestly wasn't even that well seasoned. Now one would say "well that's not a very fair review because he's from San Antonio" which I could understand. But I'm fairly positive that I could find better, cheaper fajita plates in south Okc that would blow this place out of the water. The food was not gross, it was just not anywhere near worth it. Good service. They need to stop pretending like the crew of the Santa Maria is back there whipping up some time traveling chimichangas. They're not. Chips too large as well. Good salsa.
(2)Doan B.
Came here in Friday night and it was packed. They started the group off with chips and salsa, which were standard, but I felt like the chips were too big which made them hard to pick up salsa(kinda). I did like habanero salsa they gave us at request, super spicy! Ordered the el jefe, which was a plate with two small beef burritos with green queso over it. The meat inside the burrito was very good, and the queso was nice and cheesy, but I found myself getting tired of it after the first burrito. The retried beans were good, rice was nothing to talk about. But really, I think I could have am chose a better dish, some of the stuff my friends ordered were huge plates and looked much better. 3.5 stars, but I'm giving them 4 to give them the benefit of the doubt.
(4)Justin J.
Love the queso and the food. Really offset when told we couldn't sit at a table because they would all be full at 5:30. 5/6 of the tables in bar completely empty at 545 when we left.
(3)Natasha W.
The food is very good. Unique from other "mexican" places in OKC. My only complaint is that the rate at which they bring water is not a good ratio to the spiciness of the salsa. (My cup was empty, the restaurant was not full, the salsa is good and spicy). The prices are a little on the high side, but it is a nice place, the portions are huge, and the quality does not suffer at the expense of the portion size. I got the beef fajitas for lunch - my husband and I could have easily shared this and been quite full. On another occasion I had the shrimp and mushroom tacos which rocked my world. The fried plantains are a unique and delicious addition to many dishes. I would go back for a special occasion, or with another Amazon deal or Groupon.
(4)Anna F.
What I like most about coming here is the 1492 queso. It has beans, beef, guacamole and sour cream, and all of it mixed together is downright heavenly. Other than that, I haven't been overly impressed with what I've had here. Their lunch specials are decently priced, but if you're coming for dinner, it's on the expensive side. I can't say I've enjoyed lunch enough to come for dinner, although their dinner menu looks more appealing than lunch. The chicken enchiladas I had were not good but the beef burrito was slightly better.
(2)Kaylee H.
This is my favorite Mexican restaurant! I have to stop here every time I'm in OKC. Their fajitas are delicious! Definitely recommend.
(5)Erin T.
Really the best vegetarian quesadilla. Coming from a girl who doesn't adore cheese, zucchini, shrooms or flour tortillas. But the tees leches cake is about 3% leche in a misguided attempt to mimic Italian creme cake. Monstrosity in size has replaced a traditional dessert. 1492 is more Latin fussy than fusion.
(3)Jennifer M.
This has been on of our favorite places to go to on date nights, we have never been disappointed with the food. If you like fish and steak, this is definitely the spot to try. I've always loved the tilapia, and this past visit I tried the seafood enchiladas--they were great! My husband had one of the best steaks ever here, the salsa is always fresh--the mojitos are perfect! The only reason I'm leaving off a star is due to the parking chaos we encountered last week. It turns out, Louie's, Stella & 1492 share only a small portion of the parking lot. The rest is designated to Boulevard Cafeteria. When we arrived for our 6:30p reservation, there were a TON of open spots behind 1492, so my husband pulled into one. A man from Boulevard approached him & rudely told him he couldn't park there because it was Boulevard parking (reiterating--half of their parking lot was empty). My husband pulled out of the spot, & since three popular restaurant share only a couple rows of parking, it was impossible to find a spot. He finally had to go park behind Cafe do Brasil. /-: We asked the 1492 hostess about this, & she said that the Boulevard owner has been driving their customers away--or at the very least, ticking them off. I'm really hoping 1492 (and the other restaurants) figure this parking drama out, or add more parking, it almost made us leave. The only reason we didn't is because we were trying to stick to schedule so we could make the Thunder game. I've even heard Boulevard will tow cars in their lot, I understand they want to make sure their customers have parking, but this was overkill.
(4)Jackie M.
We love Mexican food. This place has that and much more. The prices are reasonable especially with the amount of food you get. We plan to go back. My husband had a dish with shrimp in it. I had the Tex-Mex platter that had just about everything on it. We also had the queso. Very friendly people too. This made my second lunch there. We will be back.
(5)Shay B.
It was a quiet Sunday morning when I visited 1492 for brunch. Not a soul except the waitstaff and my brunch companions were there. Given the popularity of brunch in OKC, it was equally weird and nice to have a restaurant to ourselves. Their menu was encompassing with quite a Latin flair on brunch. Usually, I opt for eggs benedict, but I was daring and went for the mascarpone French toast with mango compote on top. It was good, but I wasn't expecting the French toast to be completely fried. While it tasted ok, my stomach bothered me the rest of the day. I blame it on the fried toast. My brunch companions noted that although their food was quite good, it was also quite spicy. It's not brunch without a bit of daydrinking, and although mimosas are the Sunday morning staple, 1492's sangria was super yum. With pineapple and mango pieces, it was a delicious addition to my Sunday morning. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars, because even though I had a pleasant time and the food was good, the service was a little slow for being the only ones in the restaurant (it took 20 minutes for my coffee to arrive...). And unfortunately, like other reviewers, there did seem to be a funny smell subtly permeating the restaurant. How odd. Regardless, I would not actively discourage people from trying out 1492. It's not bad, but there's definitely better out there.
(3)KJ J.
I have been here before and didn't remember anything negative about the place. A friend suggested this place for dinner so I gladly agreed, considering I hadn't planned dinner for my birthday. We were seated immediately and we got water, salsa and chip right away. The waiter was a delight and very prompt. We ordered the 1492 queso, which was a pretty large serving with avocados, meat sauce and tomatoes. I ordered the blackened tilapia, which was somewhat sweet. She ordered the 2 burritos which was really good.She did have an Amazon Local coupon for $30 that she handed at this point. She mentioned it was my birthday and the waiter suggested the Tres Leches as it would be great to share. It came out as a huge wedge cake style that was a taste explosion in your mouth. With the complimentary birthday dessert, the final price was under $10. They didn't show any discontent or agony for using the coupon. Very impressed with the service and will be back, once I finish all the leftovers.
(5)Enrique S.
Food I great. But the drinks take waaayyyyyyy toooo long. There where times when we waited up to 12 minutes for drinks. Our dinner party was 11 people. Other than that....fantastic place.
(3)Melodie H.
Tip #1 - if you see a Amazon Local for this restaurant - buy it!!!! I've had some horrible Amazon Local, Living Social and Groupon experiences but this wasn't one of them. This restaurant is located near Stella's. I went to Stella's at the end of April. I asked a friend about 1492 and he said the food was pretty good. I bought the Groupon which was $15 for $30. I kinda wished I had bought the $30 for $60. On Thursday my friend asked me what I was doing that night. I was hungry and owed him a favor so I asked him if he wanted to go and eat. Parking at the restaurant is not the best at 7 pm but you can find it. We went into the restaurant and was immediately seated by the window. I really like sitting by a window so I can people watch. Immediately we were brought salsa, chips and water. I had seen there 1492 queso and wanted to try it. My friend ordered fish and I had two burritos which came with beans and rice. During the dinner I found out it was my friends b day!!! At the end of dinner the waiter brought him a complimentary dessert! but without the singing. The waiter was so nice. Even if he didn't do the complimentary dessert I would have given him a large tip. He was on top of everything! And super friendly. All of the food I tasted that night was really good. The only downside to this restaurant was cost. In my opinion it is pretty pricey. I would go back but not very often.
(4)Tracy H.
Let me state this first- 1492 is NOT a tex-mex place, although they do have some of the "regular" fare on their menu. 1492 is an elevated Latin food experience, so if you are looking for "enchiladas and refried beans", while 1492 could do them with excellence, please go to El Chicos (no offense to those that like El Chicos). This was our fourth or fifth trip to 1492, and FINALLY I'm writing a review! The fact that it merited going back multiple times says volumes. If I have a bad experience at a restaurant the first go 'round, I seldom go back, and IF I do, that second trip will be the make or break. I've never had even a moderately disappointing experience at 1492. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is boisterous, exciting, chic. (we've never been when it wasn't at least busy, more often than not it's packed) The staff is decent and helpful, but I do have to say that they always seem pulled a little thin. Our waitress for dinner this time was very friendly, cheerful, energetic, but she was running around like, well, like an overburdened waitstaff. She never missed a beat, and was pleasant despite the rush. The food: We started with Cocktail del Mar "Tilapia, Lump Crab, and Shrimp "Ceviche" in a Pineapple Mango Pico de Gallo". Amazingly light, fresh, WONDERFUL! It was a HUGE portion, and we literally had to make a conscious decision to stop inhaling it so we'd have room for our entrees. We managed to slow down enough to leave some to take home. It's currently taunting me from the fridge. My meal choice was the Pineapple Espresso Pork "Marinated Centercut Pork Tenderlion served atop Grilled Pineapple and Chipotle Mash Potatoes". Yum. The pork was ever so slightly dry, but not enough to take away from the overall deliciousness. The grilled pineapple was perfectly finished, great grill flavor, but still juicy and sweet. I am starting to get glassy eyed as I think about the chipotle potatoes... They were everything great mashed potatoes should be- slightly lumpy, not too dense, fluffy enough to carry the weight of the pieces of potato throughout, but not so fluffy that they have no body. Perfect. Add in the outrageously tasty chipotle flavor, and WOW! Perhaps next time, I will order the Cocktail del Mar, and some chipotle mashed potatoes. My wife chose the Taquitos de Camaron "Shrimp Sauteed with Mushrooms, Bacon, Green Onions with our Spicy Rub. Topped with Avocado, along side Coconut Rice, Black Beans". Her only complaint was the lack of bigger pieces of shrimp versus the overwhelming amount of bacon. My thought was "can you have too much bacon?" She showed me, and I had to concur. The upside (not that there's a "downside" necessarily) was the bacon flavor had invaded the coconut rice, and made something magical happen! Their coconut rice is always fantastic, but the addition of the bacon flavor made it something simply incredible. My least favorite place to sit in any restaurant is adjacent to the "flow" area, near the kitchen, in the main pathway of every server, busboy, manager...and some folks that I'm not even sure they should be there. This is where our table was this evening. At first I was a tad concerned, that it would be distracting, troublesome and would detract from our meal. I was wrong. This may sound odd, but when the staff exited the kitchen area, it was much like actors engaging their roles before entering the stage. Sure, you know the backstage area is there, and the chaos that accompanies it, but not once did that chaos leak onto the "stage" not did the waitstaff "break character". We watched waiter after waiter come out, balancing tray after tray of deliciousness to waiting guests, and not once was there even so much as a hint of what was lurking behind those swinging doors. We were served by three members of the staff, including a manager, and they were all wonderful. Even with our main waitress being busier than busy, she was still fully engaged with each table. 1492, you are still one of my favorites. I recommend 1492 to everyone I talk to about good food and great atmosphere, and this time around just bolstered that sentiment.
(4)Ashleigh B.
I've been here a few times with coworkers for lunch and have loved it each time! One time there was a large group, so there was a bit of a wait, but another time our group of 3 was seated right away. They have very good salsa (Its pretty spicy) and bring chip refills often! The only thing I've had here are their chicken nachos, which are really delicious! The only downside to this place is that parking can be a little battle during lunchtime! But cross your fingers for a spot, then enjoy some yummy food!
(4)Aarash G.
Great location and a great use of the building. I rate 1492 3.5 stars. Their food is good and they have a variety of menu options and some unique menu items as well. The fajitas are good and their guacamole is great. I did not like the Carne Asada much and did not care for the pollo mole either. Their salsa is good and has a pretty good kick to it, but I wish it was a little thicker and less runny. I really like their frozen drink options and they have some unique drinks like frozen mojitos that I rarely find anywhere else in OKC. I don't usually drink frozen drinks, but someone I'm with always orders one and I enjoy trying it. One of the things that's keeping me from giving 1492 a 4 star rating is the cleanliness of the restaurant. Their menus come out with food and salsa stains all over them that is not the first thing you want to see when you sit down at a restaurant. The tables also have that "wet rag" smell that I often find in restaurants that just wipe down the tables with the same rag. I hate that smell. 1492 is a good place to get a quick meal for lunch in OKC and it's not a bad place for a Saturday or Sunday brunch. What's keeping it from being 4 stars is the cleanliness of the facility.
(3)Melinda I.
Food is always good, and one of my favorite restaurants in OKC! Seafood enchiladas are the best I have ever had anywhere. Bartenders are the best, and drinks are tasty too. Great Sunday brunch for a change.
(5)Scott L.
I was so surprised with this place. What a gem. When I landed here in OKC, I tried to YELP to find something unique that would fit my pallet, but wasn't wow'ed by what I was reading. I asked the Bellman at the Hotel and he recommended 1492. I had a cuban pork shoulder stuffed and aged with pork cutlets, prunes and brown sugar. It came with black beans and coconut rice. The meal was a little piece of heaven.
(4)Brandy W.
This was a really nice restaurant with central American style. Even though they were packed with prom goers, we were seated in less than 15 minutes. The prices were great at $12-30 per person. This was not packaged food from the freezer! I loved the queso. It was super cheesy and not all watered down like most. The chips were fresh and I highly recommend the Habanero salsa if you like spicy! The enchiladas were great as were the beans and rice. My wife and our guest loved their food and both wished they had shared as there was so much food. Would have been a 5 but our service lacked a bit. Eating hot sauce, I had to go without a drink for 10-15 minutes between visits from server. We will be ack though!
(4)Daya C.
Let me start by saying the meals here are usually great for the lunch time. I love the spicy salsa and freshly made tortilla chips. Today, I had told my server that I can't have any cheese/dairy/milk products since I'm severely lactose intolerant. When my meal came out, there was shredded cheese on the beans, my burrito, and the taco. When I brought this to my server's attention, she took my plate after apologizing and went to the kitchen. 5 minutes later, she comes back with the same plate of food. The reason I knew it was the same plate was because the cheese was scraped off the items and there were remaining cheese bits left of the items. I didn't want to be a diva so I didn't say anything, but if a person asks for no anything, the server needs to make sure there isn't any on a new plate than just scraping it off. What if I had a food allergy?!
(2)Jo R.
I've loved everything I've ever ordered here. The brunch is great, the white queso, the 1492 queso... El Jefe is my go-to favorite. It's worth the price everytime.
(5)Randi B.
We are eating here at this very moment and are having the worst service I've had in a long time. I've dined here before and had a great experience, but this was a total let down. Will not be coming back for quite some time.
(2)Bob A.
1492 does a really solid job of offering good food consistently. My wife loves the queso blanco and tortilla soup while I enjoy the seafood enchiladas and fish tacos. Their prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The service is typically good. Parking is sometimes hard to find when the midtown plaza area is busy. All in all a good restaurant in a growing and trendy area. I do wish they would offer one or two premium NA beers for those of us that love beer and Mexican/Latin food.
(4)Trang N.
This is our favorite spot for happy hour! It's Mon-Fri from 4-7. $3-4 for margaritas and Latin fusions. Beware, they're strong!! The food is also great. I've had several items and liked them all. The fajita salad is a fave!
(5)Janelle S.
Nice atmosphere, excellent service and generous servings of delicious food! There were five of us at lunch, and everyone was extremely pleased with their selections. The house salad is huge, and the Tortilla Soup is definitely a meal by itself.
(4)Julie S.
Convenient location with decent food, and definitely a good lunch value. My sister and I split the lunch order of fajitas - which was plenty for us. The guac is delicious, and we liked our server. We had a big group and they got our food out really quickly. I do think the dinner entrees are too expensive for what they are. Also, and this is probably just a personal thing, but I never think it smells very good in there. It doesn't smell like the yummy mexican food you're about to enjoy, and maybe because I've worked in restaurants too long, but I smell the dishwater or the dumpster or something. Again, maybe just a little sensitive, or maybe it needs a deep clean. I think it is a good place for a quick lunch. I agree with Andrew H; it's hard to eat here when it's in the shadow of Cafe do Brasil unless it's Monday when CdoB is closed.
(3)Ashley D.
1492 is a delicious Latin cuisine restaurant in the Midtown area. They get pretty busy so I would recommend reservations. They offer a menu that has traditional Tex-Mex food but they also offer extensive authentic Latin cuisine. They have some pretty delicious fish tacos, a fish stew, traditional pork items, fried plantains, fried yucca that resemble shoestring french fries, and my favorite which is the seafood enchiladas. The seafood enchiladas is a mix of lobster, fish, crab, and shrimp rolled in a tortilla and topped with a basil cream sauce. It comes with a order of rice and beans. 1492 offers black beans as well as several kinds of rices such as cilantro rice and coconut rice, which is my favorite. I have also tried their fish tacos which are grilled and topped with purple cabbage. It is not traditional Baja style fried fish but is still very tasty and flavorful. Im also haunted with the memory of a lamb chop special that they had one time which was served with a smoked Gouda mac & cheese. Mmmmmm, it was delicious! 1492 serves complimentary chips and a pretty spicy salsa at the beginning of your meal. They also have a fantastic drink menu with some very tasty cocktails, such as margaritas including specialty house margaritas and my very favorite which is a frozen Mojito. I believe they have happy hour specials in the bar area for discounts on food and drinks, but I would call and head to doublecheck. This is in a fantastic location and I have never been disappointed with the food. Like I mentioned before, they can get a little bit busy so expect a bit of a wait for freshly made food. The service is typically good, although I think that they could invest in having a more available hostess. Many times I have gone and the hostess has not been at the hostess stand; instead she is busy clearing tables, bringing people drinks, etc. However, I like that the managers are readily available on the floor. 1492 is definitely an interesting and unique latin restaurant for the Oklahoma City area, it's nice to have something a little different than Tex-Mex!
(4)Ashlie C.
1492 is our new fav happy hour spot. $4 margaritas, and a new thing I discovered...the frozen mojitos!! So good. I also love the 1492 queso. Perfect to share with several people. I've never had a bad thing off their menu. *note...the cheese taco is actually a cheese enchilada, but so much better.
