Outstanding Mexican food and service. We come here a lot. If you want tasty (almost authentic) Mexican food, visit this place. Prices are reasonable as well.

This is the best Mexican Restaurant Stillwater/Perkins area. The servers are nice and very efficient. The food is good. My fav is chili rellano with the sauce on the side so it will be crispy.

I really enjoy coming there when I am in Stillwater. It’s just a short drive from Stilly and the food and ambiance is very nice. Yesterday I had a poblano skillet with sliced poblanos, chorizo, onions, mushrooms and Monterrey Jack cheese. It had a great flavor and was perfect with chips and tortillas. The margaritas (rocks) were outstanding today. I highly recommend these when you visit. As you simply can’t beat the prices.

The first time we ate here it was much better.I feel robbed honestly. The side dish plates were dirty. The first thing out on the table was dirty.The fish tacos had very few fish pieces on it, the poblano pepper had barely any chicken in it. Definitely, we'll never stop here again.

Service is great, but food has become increasingly bland. Almost tastes like they are adding MSG to the food, of which I am allergic to it. I have been eating there for over 5 years...

The restaurant is hidden on a side street in Perkins. It is not a recent cartel startup. The waitress said El Mexicano had been in business for over 15 years. They advertise as authentic Mexican and they are, with what I would call a little TexMex added in here and there.It was and excellent find for us. Two of the best plates of Mexican food that we have had, in small town Oklahoma restaurants. Nothing bland from the salsa to the beans, excellent spicy flavors.My wife had the Fried Tamales. Two fried until golden brown, topped with tomatillo salsa verde and queso blanco, garnished with diced tomatoes and cilantro. Served with rice and beans. For me the Papa Poblano. It was a different presentation of my favorite Mexican food items. An amazing combination of a deep-fried cheese filled Chile Relleno rolled up in a slab of fajita beef, topped with sauteed shrimp in a creamy mushroom chipotle sauce, garnished with diced tomatoes and cilantro. It is difficult to explain how delicious this combination was. The creamy cheesy spicy chipotle sauce made the meal. On the side, the perfect charro beans, topped with fresh chopped jalapeno, tomato and onion. These 5-star meals you have to try. They favor TexMex in presentation and spiciness.A great Mexican restaurant, attractive décor, comfortable chairs and booths, with small town friendly service. Beer and Tequila is available. Their menu can be found online.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.

Had lunch with family and friends. It was everyone's first time eating there. There was plenty of food served. They have a 2 lb burrito. The queso was a hit as well. Highly recommend and will be back.

This place was absolutely amazing. I came up from Sulphur and ate with my cousins and everything from the waitress, to the food and drinks was amazing! And it was surprisingly super cheap. I honestly can't wait to go visit my cousin again so we can go back here ?
