Is it a cartel or a syndicate?Yep, they operate in a failed American style food restaurant building, in the small town of Gore OK. Unlike many small town OkieMex restaurants though, El Largo is a clean, noticeably well-maintained building, with excellent air conditioning. It is roomy and nicely decorated.The food is very good and priced to provide a good value in today’s economy. The service is fast and friendly. They have a bar.So, here is their deal. The combo menu has just about any Mexican food item you can think of, in as many combinations, that you can come up with. The best part of the deal is, a single meal is priced at $9.79. If you order two combo meals the total price for the two is $15.99. You save enough to make a good down payment on a big bowl of queso. That is what we did. El Lago seems to be very generous with the queso. If you order it on your food instead of red sauce you will be happy! My wife had a beef enchilada, beef burrito and a relleno. I had a beef taco, a beef enchilada, and a relleno. It you check the picture you can see that the restaurant was not stingy with the queso. All items were packed with beef! The taco, enchilada, and burrito were average. The rellenos had a very thin, fried, light batter coating over a very fresh poblano. filled with cheese. I liked it because it wasn’t a big pile of fried greasy breading.The salsa served with the chips were very good. Nice flavors and nice heat in the picante salsa. Excellent mixed with the queso or applied liberally on the food. This was an enjoyable meal.For 31 bucks plus a tip, we had two tasty meals, two soft drinks and queso.Being curious, I talked with “El jefe” on duty. I am seeing a pattern that many, many of the small-town Oklahoma based Mexican restaurants are actually chains. Sure enough! The cartel or syndicate of owners, operate El Largo and restaurants in Warner, Ft. Gibson, and Checotah; all with different names.This review was originally posted on Yelp, Oct 12 2022 by Spike Speedwell

There is a drive tru. Food is put in styrofoam.Way below average mexican cuisine ... More Tex-Mex. Servings a small for the amount you are charged. Left still hungry after combo plate. Service at drive thru is very slow despite calling in order. Ambiance? Just your typical dive.I won't recommend the place. i'd tather drive to Muskogee or Ft. Smith.

For being in a tiny town, El Lago is great! The portions are a bit smaller than most restaurants, but the food is pretty good!

Food was very good. The service was excellent! The only thing I did not like, we got in there about 30 minutes before closing.I felt we were rushed to leave and they started cleaning the floors while we were eating.Would definitely go back if I'm in the area...maybe a bit earlier.
The fajitas with beef/chicken shrimp is the best in have ever had! Service and food is amazing! Cannot wait to come back.

Wow! So delicious, fresh, perfectly seasoned, fantastic service and great with our table of 12. Including one adorable 10month old. Service was fast and patient with all of us ranging from 82 to 10mos. Not too expensive either. Perfect for a Sunday dinner like ours.
Great food and great service!!! We had the El Lago fajitas for two and the El Lago special dinner, excellent food and great value. Keep it up!!!Parking: Plenty of room to maneuver a boat after a long day on the lake.
