At least I think that's what the waitress said. I enjoy their torta and mexican soft taco. Really need a box to take, too much food. Their siganture dish is the wet burrito. If you want lunch then get there by 11AM otherwise you'll wait for a seat. Thye also have breakfast and dinner. YUM!!!!! more

This is my favorite Tulsa restaurant, because it is great food and so affordable. I went to this place with 7 other people, we all had a wet burrito and a beer and the bill was $86. The wet burrito is so good and only $5.50. I almost always order it with carne asada. Also the Mexican taco's are incredible,... more

We were in Tulsa for a brief trip and as this is near downtown tried it out. The wet burritos are really good but beyond that the food was just ok. Atmosphere was authentic but just ok. Not worth the trip unless in the area. more

I've been to El Rio Verde a couple of times. I love places that are off the beaten path (this is WAY off the path) and I love authentic mexican. That being said, I just don't get the hype over this place. I've sampled the legendary wet burritos and I was left wanting more. In my opinion the food was... more

I usually have the wet burrito, but i like trying the other things on the menu, so far theyve all been good. the food definitely hits the spot when i get a craving for some real mexican food. try the 'torta' sandwiches too. also good that they accept credit/debit now. the restaurant is kind of in the middle of nowhere... more

El Rio Verde is our favorite restaurant in Tulsa. Breakfast is incredible. A number of breakfast dishes are all wonderful - my favorite is breakfast quesadillas. Also bistec (steak) and eggs. The steak looks dry, but it isn't - it tastes fabulous. For lunch and dinner, we love their cheese enchiladas, flautas, fish tacos and wet veggie burrito. Their rice... more

I can't say for sure it is the best of the many mexican restaurants in tulsa, but out of all the ones I have tasted El Rio Verde is best. My biggest complaint and the reason I probably do not go there more is they don't don't serve Margaritas. The food however is some of the best authentic mexican I... more
