I've been coming here since I moved to OKC 25 years ago! When it was the only Ted's in town. The fajitas are amazing (lots less greasy now) same wonderful flavor with caramelized onions. For the sides I got cilantro lime rice and black beans (which could use a little more flavor) but very healthy. Free chips and salsa and tortillas. Best salsa in town and you could kick it up with atomic sauce. Oh! And save room for the sopaipillas for dessert! 🤩

We got the fajitas takeout for 10 people— SO GOOD and SO MUCH salsa chips and queso. We all had to take containers home after our gathering.
They initially forgot the tortillas and we called and they went above and beyond to get us our tortillas and even gave us 10 extra. Thanks so much for excellent service and food that made our family gathering so easy and special.
Good food great service and quick. This place is off the beaten path but well worth the drive to get there !! Will come back !!
I ordered DoorDash the other night and it was fantastic. Both my husband and I’s order was correct, and delicious. I ordered chips/ and queso as well and it was very generously filled. They also gave us salsa, and tortillas that I didn’t order which was nice! They package everything separately, including the side order and side options. So you get really big portions!
As a N.TX resident I appreciate good service because is very rare and this was the best service I have ever received. Great casual restaurant with good food and fresh tortillas. I will go every time I'm in OKC.
Ted's is one of the places we have to make sure we visit when we're in town. Food is always delicious!
Also, Isabella and Amelia waited on us and they were amazing. Good job!
Service was very friendly and helpful - got all of our orders perfect. Food had great flavor, will be back. Love the chips, tortillas, quest, salsa, and relish brought to the table as you wait for your food.
We were quoted 10 -15 minutes wait, but got seated in 5 minutes. It was busy & the layout of the restaurant is such that it’s very loud when crowded. But you know, it was nice on the other hand to see happy people enjoying great food. Restaurant was very clean & you could see through the window lady making flour tortillas, which was delicious by the way. As soon as we got seated, waiter brought chips, delicious salsa & queso for each of us. We were impressed by the speed & efficiency of service despite of them being busy. Food was delicious Mexican food. We had shredded chicken burrito meals. It was accurately customized & tasty. We loved that queso they served with chips & salsa so much, that we had it as our sauce option for burritos. Those in house made flour tortillas are a must. We would definitely return when in the area. I’d like to try steak fajitas next time.
This place was getting high marks - hands over fist and was recommended for top Mexican at my hotel, so I gave it a try. It was SUPER busy - a good sign, but I was seated in a timely manner and the service was really good. The server confused my order a bit, but not so bad it mattered. The food is colorful and seems very authentic. The warm tortillas could be eaten on their own - fabulous. The only let down, despite how pretty the food looked, was the lack of Mexican seasoning. The seasoning was very dulled to the point where the nachos and taco, even the enchilada had a blurred common taste....fresh but not flavorful. I wanted cilantro, cumin and chilies or chili powder to really pop - it doesn't. The most flavorful items were the sides - rice and beans. They were excellent. You will enjoy your trip but don't be surprised if the flavors don't overwhelm.
