The Open View

For three star Mexican, try Ted's Cafe Escondido in Oklahoma City. This is a moderately priced restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a family atmosphere. This place features private rooms and catering. This restaurant is good for groups.

User Reviews of Teds Cafe Escondido

They don't come any better.

This is the best! Once you try Teds you won't be satisfied with any other mexican food. Ask for a 1/2 set up to go, it is free. You get chips, salsa and even cheese dip for later. You can not eat it all there....

Yelp.com Review - by Courtney S.

2.0 of 5 stars. Despite all the buzz, Ted's is really not worth all the hype. They are overpriced and always crowded and noisy. If you want real Mexican food, there are a lot more authentic places in the city. If…

Good Food

The food is good, however they want to seat you as fast as they can and move you out like cattle. I suggest take out over sit down.
