I am from south texas- that being said, I'm choosy about my Mexican food restaurants. This place, it's not even Tex-Mex. It's fake Tex-Mex, for wealthy white people who don't know what Mexican food or Tex-Mex really is...and I'm not hispanic :p but I do know that it's outrageous to pay $11 for two (flour not corn) tortillas with fajita...

We recently ate at Ted's for the first time. It was amazing! They bring you fresh tortillas in addition to chips and salsa. Our entrees were awesome. Would definitely eat here again.

Ordered Nachos, guac salad, shredded beef taco, sour cream chicken enchilada. The set up included grilled chile pico, Mexican relish, salsa, (great) chips, corn and flower tortillas, queso. All of it was good. Menu was wide open w beef, chicken options. Steamed Beans available for vegetarian option. Fast, attentive service. Figure $10 (easy) a head plus tip.

Anyone from around OKC knows that this is the top mexican food restaurant. DELICIOUS. The only draw back is that is gets extremely busy. Go during an off time to get in quickly. Probably want to avoid Fridays and weekends.

Been here a few times with large family gatherings. They took very good care of us. Food was excellent and they treated us well. If you like Mexican food, it's one of the best places around.

If you like Tex-Mex food, Ted's the place to go. Their enchiladas, tamales, and fajitas are excellent. You get a very large portion for the price. Service is always prompt. Take-out is a good way to go on crowded nights, which seems to be every night.

Love this place. We've been eating here since it opened. The customer service has always been great however it has declined a bit since they started franchising. We typically get the fajitas and they are ALWAYS great.

We have been to the teds at broken arrow, Norman and now Oklahoma City. The service has always been great. The staff are always friendly. The food is great. We have never had anything that has been greasy........ And it's not easy to find Mexican food without ANY grease. The chips, sopapillo's and entree's are the best. Also. It is... More

This restaurant was recommended to us by a local and he did not steer us wrong. They bring two kinds of salsa to the table along with chips, tortilla's and free queso dip! The regular salsa is perfect. It has a kick but not too much. The hotter one is HOT but still delicious. Everything was fresh and tasted terrific.... More
