Love this hidden gem. Food is always good. The service is great. Traditional Mexican made from scratch.

This place is fantastic! Ive never not loved my food. I truly dont believe you can have a bad visit here. I will warn you, its not your americanized food. Its legit mexican food. The service is always great and the ambiance is a bit loud. I will go back for sure and you should go too!

Loved it, loved it, loved it! I found this out-of-the-way restaurant listed on Trip Advisor and it wasn't far from where we were going for karaoke, so I decided to give it a try. The recommendation had been for the Wet Burrito, so I ordered that, with shredded beef. You can also get it with chicken or several other options, but the shredded beef sounded good to me. To begin with, the burrito is about the width of my arm. It was huge (for a burrito, my arms aren't all that). And it had both sour cream and guacamole on top, so I could try both and decide which was better (the sour cream won). The "wet" part is the sauce that they cover it with, also delicious. The place is as authentically Mexican as you can get outside of Mexico, and the people are very nice and attentive. If you've never been here, give it a chance. You'll find good food and a good price with nice people. They have a parking lot with free parking, so that's an added bonus.

Could not have enjoyed the food more than we did. Chips were golden crispy and the salsa was good. Everything after was delicious also. We will be back if we are in Tulsa again.

This is not the easiest place to order vegan items from yet I've been coming here regularly since they opened. In all of that time (since ~1999?) I've only experienced 1 (one) mishap with the food that was received [the exchange for what was ordered was quick and easy]. I've recently come to understand how big of a deal this is! English is a stupid language that has -rules- that are basically meaningless, pronunciation of English words is anyone's guess and still with so many of the wait staff having English as their non-primary language, they absolutely nail it every time. Mad respect for the care the staff takes to make certain they get everything right. Our orders aren't simple either e.g., "a veggie wet burrito without rice, cheese, or sour cream" or "a torta without meat, mayo... [this is what my spouse orders so I'm unfamiliar with the exact specifics to make this vegan], add beans." The amount of wait staff for whom English is their primary language that cannot get orders right at so many other places in Tulsa- at every price point- makes this extra special. The staff care, they want to get the order right, and they always do! The salsa is tasty, the guac is a good time, they serve Coke with actual sugar. This place is ab fab. Our omni friends, our vegetarian friends, everyone like this spot. The prices are more than fair, especially when one experiences such great service from the staff. I'm always happy when we eat here and am always looking forward to the next visit.

One of the BEST Mexican food places with authentic food. The food was super delicious and filling. The wet burritos were served with lots of delicious meats. I loved how they put a piece of meat/shrimp on display in the sauce so you can know which is which. The Vampiro tacos were amazing and the sauce for them was just the right temperature! Definitely going back!!!

Great Mexican food, made fresh! This place is always a win. I'm convinced the servers are vampires because they have all been there for 20+ years. Wet burrito is a staple...and it's huge. If you have never been, you are missing out!

Date of check in 3/22/23 Over the past years, I have dined at hundreds of Mexican restaurants in northeastern Oklahoma. An area I define as within the boundaries of I-40 on the south to I-35 on the west. I was searching for a Wet Burrito that would rival the Wet Burrito that has made El Rio Verde a legend and for several years, rated as the best Mexican restaurant in Tulsa. Well, nothing comes close. It is not only the best wet burrito in Tulsa, it is the best in NE Oklahoma, Period! It is what put El Rio Verde on the map. Ok, let's get down to the beans and rice of this issue. And that is a good place to start, beans and rice. Especially now, this burdening inflation has many restaurants stuffing their burritos disproportionately with rice. A cost saver, that will cost the restaurant customers. Too may times you can't find the meat. El Rio Verde continues to provide customers with an equal balance of filling: rice, beans and meat. The meat is fabulous. My top choices are the carne asada, carnitas, shredded beef and the chicken. Carnitas and shredded beef being the top two picks. Wrap all of that up in a large soft flour tortilla. The makings of a nice well-balanced burrito. The defining attribute that sets El Rio Verde apart from the competition; it is truly a wet burrito. There is a plentiful amount of tasty sauce. The menu uses the appropriate word "drenched" in salsa, not smothered, not covered, or with. There is a difference. Look at the pictures. I have had wet burritos in other restaurants that would be more appropriately called stained burritos. Very little salsa. The ample salsa does a couple of things. It softens the fluffy flour tortilla even more and allows you to dunk and sop it up with a big fork full of beans rice and meat. Enjoyment in every mouthful. There is enough tangy tasty tomato salsa to last beyond the last bite of burrito. That's a wet burrito. That's what to eat at El Rio Verde! The best! Spike's inessential commentary and misguided, unsubstantiated opinion. Some restaurants offer burritos "smothered" in queso, that are passed off as a wet burrito. Diners with little expertise in the matter, fall for the deception. So, what's the difference between wet and smothered well, think biscuits and gravy. Have you ever had wet biscuits. Or a wet chicken fried steak? No, they are smothered in gravy. I rest my case. A burrito covered in queso is not a wet burrito. Don't be a victim of this common Mexican restaurant scam! You know what a real wet burrito is and you know where to get the best.
