TulsaNow lunch for April - Speedy Gonzalez - Today

[RecycleMichael]

We haven't had Mexican for a while and to some of the best Mexican food is in east Tulsa. This restaurant is one of my favorites for lunch. It has a varied menu that is very affordable and the space is spread out so it will be easy for us to get a table together.

I am hoping that Friday, April 15th works for others.

The location is 2601 S. Memorial at the west of of a shopping center.  When you enter, it is a cafeteria style where you order, then they bring the food to the table. They have pictures of each of the entrees on the wall (all the best restaurants have this feature).

They have good sized portions and a nice mix of authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex. I particularly like their salsa and the free chips are made in house and tasty.

I usually get the Golden Burrito, which is a very large burrito with your choices of meat, then covered with a perfectly seasoned queso. The queso is barely hot, but you can still taste the jalepeno.

I will be there by 11:30 and try to get us a big table in the middle of the room. Go through the line and pay then come find me. I will be the big guy eating chips and salsa.

Who thinks they can make it?

That's the old Legend's BBQ...I'll be there.  Haven't been since it changed to Speedy, but I used to go to the Speedy's downtown a few moons ago.

We went there last night with a bunch of hungry youth soccer players. I think the boys ate a bathtub full of tortilla chips and a bucket full of salsa. We fed nine people for $80 with tip.

They don't have pictures of the dishes anymore, but have a wall of menu items and descriptions of food. They have everything you would want in a Mexican restaurant with over 60 different traditional dishes, but also have some interesting choices like a Hawaiian chicken platter and grilled Tilapia. My son again ordered a side of fried okra and says it is the best okra he ever eats.

They have also added boneless deep fried bite size chicken and fry bread that really looks like the original Rex's chicken. A pound of the chicken and four breads are $8.89. I think I will order that for the kids next time.

For those who drink, they have domestic beers for $2.25 and imports for $2.75 each.

A two-year old would give me someone to talk to on my level.

Sorry, but got a lunch meeting then.  Maybe next time.

Bring her, we don't mind.  Or are you worried Uncle Conan will try and indoctrinate her in the finer points of conservatism?
