Hands down this is the best Mexican food in the Norman area. Not Tex-Mex, not Californian - the real deal. The place is always packed and rocking. The waiters keep up a smile no matter what. There is nothing on the menu that isn't delicious. Everyone is super. Even if you have to wait, just wait. Don't leave. The food...

This is our favorite for Mexican food. Very fast service. If you like a 2 hour meal then this might not be your choice. The chips are thin and crispy and the salsa is fresh. It is brought to your table in a flash and your order is taken with in minutes. Many times the entree is brought before we...

This mexican restaurant has a Norman cult following but does not compare to Ted's on the other side of town. The staff is great and eager to make sure your drinks are always filled. The one things I did really enjoy was the salsa and this salsa beats any other restaurants salsa. Parking can be tricky if you go when...

My family and I went to Tarahumara's on the recommendation from a friend. They were not wrong. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly. The walls and decor and brightly-colored. The tables and booths are nothing fancy, but I'm not going to a restaurant for the table. What interests me is what is set ON the table. At 5 p.m. on...

I have been to all the mexican restaurants and this is by far the one to be at for good food. Service is fast, clean and food is good. FLat screens all around and always on sports. smaller screens inbetween flatscreens give live shots of the kitchen. I think this is cool and you can see how clean the kitchen...

Always crowded and definitely worth the wait! Owner, EFrain, is always there to make sure your dining experience is perfect. They even have cameras in the kitchen so you can watch your meal being prepared! Don't walk, run to Taramaharas!!!!

They did not blink an eye at our large group. We arrived at 4:45pm because of our size of 12 plus a baby. We were seated immediately so arriving before 5pm is good advice.
Our server was amazing, the food was excellent & arrived quick. Our chips/salsa, drinks NEVER emptied.
The only "negative" I could give here is my ticket...
