The Walk at Tulsa Hills

[Conan71]

It only took one visit. Randy and I both did not like it. I like Andolini's, and Marley's is really good.

Did you get the deep pan or thin crust at Savastano's? 

Still have not tried Marley's.  Must remember that.

How can you not like Chuy's

Don't know, but I don't.

Not tex-mex enough for my simple pallet, maybe?  And if I recall, their salsa was terrible.  If you are a mexican restaurant, and I don't like your salsa, I don't go back.

Marley's is pretty good but is not anywhere where close to as good as Savistano's.

Despite being from Austin, Chuy's has a lot New Mexican along with the Tex-Mex style food, that's what I prefer there. They have more than one salsa, maybe try another one?

We were with another couple and got one thin, one deep. We all had pretty much the same opinion. Service sucked too.

Wow, that just hasn't been our experience at all, interesting.

Shows the value of consistency in food and service. One bad night can lose a new customer forever.

I know a handful of people that once preferred Savastano's but now prefer Marleys.

Most people that complain about Savistano's service simply don't get that a real Chicago style pizza can't be cooked in 15 minutes. It take a long time, 45+ minutes.

At Due's in Chicago you wait in line and when your wait is down to about an hour they take your order and it's ready when you finally get a table and sit down.

I don't think we've ever waited that long for a pie there.  It's usually out not terribly long after we finish our salads.  I'm guessing +/- 25 minutes I've never thought to time it before.

Correct.  I think that's what tanked The Alley.  They were getting really inconsistent, especially with their daily specials.  Any of the daily menu items was almost always spot-on.

There's been a few places MC and I have gone the first time and said: "Never again."  We will give most places a second chance, there are simply some who didn't earn that chance.

They are going to another Chicago style place. If Marleys can get it done in 30 and Savastano's takes an hour, it's not the pizza's fault.

If anyone ever wants to get a frame of reference for Mexican - take the short trip up to Claremore and try El Charro.  That will give one an appreciation for ALL the local Tulsa Mexican restaurants!  I'm betting even Taco Mayo would taste good in following years.....

It's all about the perspective!

Heard a good one tonight, (loosely paraphrasing) "If it doesn't give me gastric distress for a few days, it's NOT real Mexican!"

If the fellow who shared this with me cares to expand on it or correct for errors, feel free.

Not a fan of Chuy's.  Everything is served too hot and overly spicy in my opinion.

That said, everybody has an opinion on what is good Mexican food and what Mexican food really is.
