“Very Good Mexican Food in Jenks!You can argue all day long about Tex-Mex vs. Mexican. The distinction is becoming so blurred doesn’t make much difference. The way restaurants mix things up anymore, the difference between the two can depend on which side of the plate you are talking about. There is the discussion of yellow cheese vs. white cheese, corn vs. flour tortillas, and cumin, chili powder, and chili peppers vs. none. For me, I break it into spicy and hot vs. mildly seasoned (or very little seasoning). My experience is that the food in most restaurants that promote themselves as traditional Mexican tends to be mild to very lightly seasoned with little to no heat from chili peppers, and they use mostly white cheese. There is the exception! If the menu item ends with “diablo” or “diabla” it may not be spicy, but it should have some heat to it!For my one time visit to Campesinos, based on the food we had and looking at the menu, their food tends to be on the mild, lightly spiced side of the Mexican food argument.We had the Pollo Asado and the Enchiladas Surpremas. The Pollo Assado was a thin, lightly seasoned chicken breast covered with a cheese sauce, mushrooms, bell pepper slices, onions and tomatoes. It was a very fresh, tasty meal. I went for the Enchiladas Surpremas, because I wanted to try the flavors of the various meats they serve. It was five enchiladas, (cheese, bean, ground beef, shredded beef, and chicken). They can be ordered with red sauce or grated cheese on top. I went with the cheese, so it wouldn’t cover up the taste of the fillings in the enchiladas. All of the enchiladas were good. The bean and cheese enchiladas didn’t have any seasoning at all and the meats were lightly seasoned. Even though I prefer the spicy hot Mexican food, I have to give Campesinos credit for serving quality, good tasting food.It is a clean restaurant, the service is good, the food is mildly spiced, and it served up hot and fresh!If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check out my reviews in my collection "Jalapeno Highway" on Yelp. I've probably been there.“

“Service was great. Food was good. Portions were large. Food was reasonably priced when you factor in the size of the entrees. Very loud dining room. Music playing, and then everyone talking loudly (some shouting), and some kids screaming. There were some harsh LED string lights (in Mexican flag colors) as decoration. Warmer incandescent bulbs would be a better choice.“

“Pretty decent Mexican food. The salsa is flavorful without being hot, I was offered hotter salsa but declined. Good beans and rice. I had the make your own lunch special with 2 seasoned ground beef enchiladas with the salsa Verde. Queso is pricey, so I didn't get any. Nice staff. Clean restaurant. I usually visit the bathroom, but I was in a hurry. It was hard to get pictures of the menu because of the lighting, sorry.“
