Seafood Restaurants near Gore

“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“

“Quiet. Came in early on a Saturday 3Pm.Drove from Tulsa to try the calf fries, was not disappointed. Traci was our waitress, she was attentive and polite. The calf fries were cooked to perfection. None burnt, not too much bread. The wife had the grilled shrimp po boy, shrimp is fresh!Definitely worth the drive where ever you're coming from :)The cooks today were: Richard and Kaylee!! Thanks for a great dinner!!“

“We visited this very popular restaurant right near Lake Tenkiller. Meals range from sandwiches to burgers to salads. Everything was good, including the thickest steak sandwich I have ever seen! The service was friendly, but possibly stretched a little thin, so it was a slow paced meal-which is fine if you are on lake time.“
