Five stars aren’t enough! Ted’s Cafe Escondido in Norman absolutely blew us away. Hands-down, they serve the best tortillas and tortilla chips I’ve ever had—fresh, warm, and unbelievably delicious. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. I also couldn’t believe how incredibly fast our food came out—seriously, we barely had time to snack on those amazing chips before the entrees hit the table. It was impressive without ever feeling...
