Tahlequah has A LOT of Mexican restaurants but you will not find another like El Zarape. The food is cooked to order and comes out fresh every time I have ate there. Very family friendly place as they do not have a bar. The owner provides the best service in town. He is also very involved in helping the community. A great place to eat and support.

It's too hot to need a zarape today. What you need is a good aire acondicionado. El Zarape Mexican Restaurant has a good one. The temperature was very comfortable in the restaurant.Good service, good tasting food, pleasant atmosphere, large menu, relaxed dining in a small town OkieMex restaurant. It is not my top pick in Tahlequah, but I would have no problem taking a friend there to try it and recommend that you try it. The red salsa is a little weak on flavor, mostly tomato and garlic. The salsa picante is essential for the meal (ask for it.) I had the Combo # 7 and my wife had the Fajita Taco Salad (beef and Chicken.) Very fresh food served on hot plates. The quality of the meat and its seasoning stood out in both meals. The red sauce was the real deal. Delicious on the enchilada. Good beans, good rice. We ordered a small queso. As has been pointed out by others it is tasty, but runny. As it cooled it started to increase in viscosity. Freshly made. It was worth the drive to try El Zarape.On to the next small town Okie Mex restaurant. Where will it be?

Service was quick and friendly, food was flavorful and ready fast! Really enjoyed eating here. The house salsa they serve with chips is so good!

Great selection. Delicious food. Kind and welcoming service. We enjoyed chicken and veggie fajitas, burritos and tacos. The queso was also scrumptious. Highly recommend.

This place is AMAZING! The food here is SO GOOD! I've tried several different meals & they have all been fantastic. I recommend the chimichanga w/beef tips. The chips & salsa are always perfect. We live in Muskogee & drive to Tahlequah just to eat here.

Tried this on recommendation. I’m from Texas and had my share of Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican food. This place is AUTHENTIC! Ordered from the combo section only $7.99! ChileReleno, burrito and enchilada. Chicken Burrito and enchilada were with white queso as ordered. The chicken inside each was very tasty tender and moist and seasoned to perfection. ( Unlike many I have had over the years that were bland or dry.). Complementary chips and salsa were equally delish! Not the fanciest place but the food is wonderful and the employees were very nice and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

They have Great Mexican food it is Amazing and I highly recommend it. Price us reasonable friendly service.
Ordered through ameribites, took over an hour to deliver, probably not the restraunts fault, but the containers were all collapsed w/ lids pressed on the food.

Service was great. Overall the food was good but we didn't like the queso. It was extremely watery. Didn't even stick to the chips. They also charged for a side a queso, tortillas and hot salsa when most places give those complimentary Also the fried ice cream was not actually fried.... Just wrapped in corn flakes. But the main dishes were really good.
