okgourmet.com Home of Steve's Restaurant Reviews
Welcome to okgourmet.com,
a site devoted to reviews of restaurants I have visited and articles about food, with
an emphasis on
Asian and
Mexican cuisine.
Restaurant reviews
are concentrated in
Oklahoma City, OK and
El Paso, TX, and include
other areas I am able to visit.
The most recent restaurant visits
are listed at the bottom of the page:
Abel's
does not serve Lent specials, but it has excellent enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and shrimp
plates for those who want to get a meatless dinner.
Normally I do not think of
San Marcos
as one of the more authentic Mexican restaurants, but I think the fish dinners happen to be some
of the best items on the menu, and I have been impressed with the tilapia served. I thought the
Pescado Dorado was good enough to give me an El Paso quality meal.
WHAT'S NEW?
Mar. 24, 2012 :
In El Paso I used to find special food for Lent in various Mexican restaurants, and this
year I have been in search of Special Lent food in Oklahoma City. The
best place I have found is
Birrieria Diaz
in Bethany which served an excellent ceviche tostada on one Friday and one of the
best versions of capirotada I have ever had on another Friday. Specials served one
week are not necessarily available the other weeks until Easter, but so far there is
enough to make me feel like I am in El Paso.
Jun. 20, 2011 :
The
El Paso Tip Sheet
provides a quick reference to recommendations for restaurants in various categories.
A special attempt is made not only to list my favorite Mexican restaurants, but to make
recommendations for various items such as red enchildas, green enchiladas, chiles
rellenos, caldo, tacos al carbon, etc. Readers are also encouraged to send in their own
suggestions.
