What People's Say About Place

I highly recommend this place. The food is incredible delicious and they gave a lot of food for the cost of the plate . The service is kind and very professional. Every time I work in Tulsa I want to go to that restaurant. The vegan options are incredible. Good. I never tasted so good Hispanic food. I am Colombian and I love these flavors. The restaurant is very colorful and happy looking sometimes it smells like a little bit like a old building, but the food is incredible.

Delicious food and very cool looking on the inside, service was incredibly fast when i visited at 1230. Also very affordable, Would recommend next time you are downtown!

I'll state the disappointing part up front. We signed up for Drag Bingo. It was $40 for a table for 4. Come to find out, you didn't have to sign up at all, so a waste of $10/per person. They let others play that hadn't made a reservation and were just there to dine. Those folks also got seated faster, got food faster, got drinks faster. That was a bit disappointing. I've attended events at the Vault (owned by the same person) and they close down the restaurant except for those attending the event. Kind of felt like people sneaking in the back door of a theater got the same experience. The food was good. We had a good time at the event. They're changing it up to a sing-a-long so I'm interested to see what that will be like. The drag show was great and so were the performers. Our waiter was on top of it, even though the craziness that was happening. I would definitely go back, without a reservation...because what was the point of that.

Walking in and automatically I was hit with an incredible food smell. Super friendly staff and really liked the decor and music playing. Couple different options for seating booths, tables, bar, or outside. I ordered one of each option for the Tulsa 30 day Vegan Challenge in April (one is a fried croquette ball it has rice, corn, and black beans, and vegan mozzarella. Very good and the other was a delightful dessert that was so tender and moist but not overly sweet). I also ordered my fur-babies one of their doggie bowls (it's plain chicken and rice) if you order it there I'm told it comes on a Frisbee. Having everything to go my girls missed out on that but maybe next time. I also got one of their drinks (I can't remember what it's called right now) but it's Non-Alcoholic and not carbonated a red fruit punch type of beverage. Very refreshing. We enjoyed this meal very much and will definitely be back!

Our party of six went there Saturday before a concert at the BOK. The food is phenomenal and I so wish they had a location in OKC. The sweet corn Tamales are the bomb and the puff tacos with beef are a must. My Father in law has many food allergies and sensitivities he had many options to choose from, we will definitely be back.

I have been here a ton of times! As a vegetarian it is a must have! But had not tried the bar till recently. We came in on a Saturday night at 9pm for drinks and karaoke. It’s a fun vibe, but the real standout was the bartender, Foster. They are an absolute pro. They handled some truly awful, entitled people with patience and humor like it was nothing and still made everyone else feel taken care of. Drinks were solid, energy was great, and karaoke was an absolute blast. Honestly, Foster made the night. Give them all the raises, all the praise, and never let them leave. We’ll definitely be back.

Wife and I went for lunch since we were in town for a conference and we like to hit up Man v. Food spots. Food was good, she had puffy tacos and I had nachos( sorry no pics of food). The restaurant was loud and it was hard for me to hear my wife as we conversated. Staff was great and made good recommendations on food. Atmosphere was very cool with all the Mexican wrestling theme. It seemed very busy when we went.

Elote is one of the best Mexican food places in Tulsa. Very unique tacos and an incredible selection of tequilas! Like incredible!! I’m pretty sure there were like 100 or so different tequilas! The food was extremely great! I loved those sweet potatoes! Service was fantastic as well!!! Go there! Go there now!
