Okay... but. The chips were perfect - never had better. Good for someone missing his momma's cooking. Wholesome food and good portions. However, restaurant food should be more special than momma's (sorry, mom). The salsa was average. The taco meat was hardly seasoned. The beans didn't taste like a Mexican restaurant but like beans you would just cook up. The sopapillas were served with the meal instead of hot for desert. I'm sure there's much more to experience in New Mexico restaurants but we were traveling through and stopped at Padilla's based on reviews and on convenience of I-25/I-40 intersection. If you're traveling through Tulsa go to Senor Tequila's on 71st Street a few blocks east of Sheridan. It's fresh, it's delicious. Ask for the picosa salsa and put it on your tacos. WOW! Feel those little sweat beads form below your eyes.…
Addictive New Mexican food.. This is New Mexican cuisine which is very different from Mexican food. The food has lower fat and less seasoning. The result is a delightful menu that you can eat from everyday. It's a place where the staff will take the babies from the regulars and show them to the other workers. It's a very casual and friendly atmosphere.…
Disappointed I think. The quality of the meat was very low. The taco meat had some sort of filler in it, potatoes I think. Really not very good at all. The chicken was all dark pulled rooster meat. Also not very appetizing. It really seems that this is another eatery that has established its customer base and really isn't trying anymore. I would have to concede that it's at least as good as Taco Bell. But, if you're really in the mood for cheap tacos, go to Del Taco and enjoy yourself.…
Say cheese!. Sadie's has nothing on this place! The chile is solo good! The tamales are out of this world! To top it off, this is the only place you can get quelites like mama used to make.
Supposed to be friendly restaurant! Not friendly and tight with refills!!.
'' I ate at Padilla's restaurant a few times but i don't anymore. I had one and a half refills on soda and on
that last half, Mrs. Padilla practically threw it on the table and complained to one of her employees that there
were four glasses on the table for two people. So, I let her know that we did not need a new glass every time we wanted a refill on soda. The same glass would have been fine. So, it was not our fault that there were four glasses on the table. If she is going to treat her customers that way, I will eat Mexican food somewhere else.
If I have to, i will just make my own food at home. I have plenty of food at home! One star = NOT RECOMMENDED!…
