Mexican Viejo Bar and Grill - Mexican restaurant in Bartlesville - 201 SE Washington Blvd, USA

The staff did a great job with providing everything we needed and even wanted. The service was quick and the food was great. The place is smaller than some but there was still plenty of room. They have a lot of menu options so they should have something for everyone. They bring you chips and salsa to start your meal.

Having a 4.5-star rating on both Google and Yelp confirms that the restaurant is a big hit in the community. I concede to the locals’ opinion. The Mexican food expertise of the clientele that were coming and going this afternoon would withstand vigorous scrutiny. Without question these folks know Mexican food and love Mexico Viejo Bar and Grill. Their credentials are obvious. Advice for the out of towners….Saying that you are from [fill in state] and you “know” Mexican food, loud enough for someone to hear it in this restaurant, would cause an involuntary, hissing spray of beer from their mouths, followed by a slap of the table and raucous laughter. Sit down and enjoy the food. The menu covers the OkieMex food spectrum and many traditional items like soups. Decent red salsa, thin crispy chips and an excellent roasted, medium heat jalapeno salsa, got things started. A friendly, patient and assiduous young lady was managing the floor. The food was delivered on the customary hot plates from the broiler, with enough heat to sustain the perfect food temperature throughout the meal. My wife made an unfortunate selection from the Lunch Special menu, the Sophia Special; spinach filled enchiladas covered in queso. The down fall of the dish was the spinach. Likely frozen not fresh. It was rated “not the best I have had” by my wife. Competing against spicy meats, covered in queso; this is probably one of their least popular meals. Not recommended. Real Okies don’t eat spinach enchiladas. I chose the Lunch Special Chimichanga with beef. A decent size flour tortilla, packed to capacity with ground beef, rolled and folded, deep fried and covered with very good queso. Pico, guac, rice and beans filled out the hot plate. Well-seasoned beef, smooth refried beans, fresh guacamole and average rice. Roasted jalapeno salsa added another layer of flavor to an enjoyable meal. And there you have it. It may be the version of authentic OkieMex you are looking for!

I ordered the Street Tacos. It came with 4 tacos, rice, beans/hotdogs sliced thin. The tacos were very good. The beans/hotdogs were room temperature (yuck). The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere. If I go back I'll probably have street tacos again and ask if I can substitute something for the beans/hotdogs

Great atmosphere and very clean. Chips and salsa was great. We had the Emily platter and the Jamie platter, both were excellent. We will definitely be coming back.

Tried this for the first time tonight. The food was good. The waitstaff was very attentive. The price was pretty good too. They did a pretty nice remodel on the building also.

Ordered food. Forgot something. Called them back to add to the order b4 it was delivered. They repeatedly assured us they would add to our order before it was delivered. Order came, addition to the order wasn't there. Called back, SAME person said "Oh no, we can't add to orders, you need to put in a separate order". Food was cold, steak was hard to chew. 11 people at my home heard the exchange and won't be ordering here ever again. Horrible.

Just what Bartlesville needed after our wonderfully assorted restaurants no longer have the work ethic since before COVID. THIS PLACE HAS GREAT SERVICE...I HOPE THEY KEEP IT UP!! I don't mind tipping when we'll served. Oh yeah ....fantastic food too!!! Friday night....the locals already know about this place....it's packed!! Great Rita's!! Great Prices!!

The food here is always fresh and delicious, service is amazing we will be back again and again
