South of the Border restaurant -Regal Plaza

[inteller]

I'll make this review short.

Don't go.

Hopefully they will be out of business in a few months so someone like Senor Tequilas can take over.

South of the Border has been in business for like 5 years. They just moved to this location.

really, well they must be using the same sour cream they out started with.....it was rancid.  and nothing is more unnatural than seeing guacamole come out in the shape of a scoop of ice cream.

It is a shame Compadres didn't move in across the street from them, they'd be gone overnight.

I think you just like to *****.

My wife and I have eaten there twice since it opened and both times the food has been above average and the service has been excellent.

If that doesn't happen soon are you going to hold a protest and demand that they pay to gate your neighborhood?[]

Hey, they said its a famous painting depicting a well known mythology about the volcanoe there by Mexico City.

Couldnt find another pic of it on the web that was more detailed or had the right colors, so used this tiny one they gave me to try and make a wall sized mural from. Had intended for them to just wrap the canvas around a wooden frame and perhaps paint the edge black, not put a wooden frame around it. Also mentioned that the wall behind it should be a deep rich red, not more brown. I painted a bit of a stone archway around the painting on either side to make it larger on the wall since my canvas was only so wide. So as they have it now, its brown on brown on brown. That frame definitely needs to be black and the wall behind, red. Perhaps if I get the time I will go and do it myself. It needs it to make the painting "pop".




This is how I would have liked for them to have done it on the wall. Not a brown frame on a brown wall, the whole thing just falls flat like that.

Damn, inteller, do you ever have a positive thing to say about ANYTHING? All your b*tching and moaning is getting quite tiresome.

It's interesting that pretty much everywhere you go to eat you get poor service and bad food. You get what you give, man. You get what you give...

[inteller]

the problem is Aztecs and bad Mexican food don't mix.  At first glance it looks like they are burning peyote to get over their indigestion.

Well, my wife and I have eaten there several times, and always liked it, especially the lunch menu. Service always very friendly.
Haven't got around to checking the Tulsa World's link for the health dept inspections yet. Almost afraid to, that thing is scary.

Wife says their spinach enchiladas are fantastic. Will have to take her word on that. The do have good tamales, which are hard to find.

I likeD south of the border and used to eat their regularly. We had a decent sized group that ate their once a week. Instead of any discounts or freebies we got occasional mediocre service and started getting overcharged regularly. At one point they even charged above menu prices and just said "the prices changed."

I like the owners and their food was okay but when you run off regular clientele, there is a problem.

So I don't hate the place, just probably not going back anymore. I hadn't posted a review because they weren't the best or the worst.

Inteller, any idea what happened to the compadre's deal? Any why in the world would you want Senor Tequila's? You can get Old El Paso at WalMart without waiting in the long lines and dealing with the non-existant service.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who finds Senor Tequila's to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overrated
