Ted’s Tulsa Hills

I went with my Mother but there was this horrible long line. Not even a weekend. Guess people love Mexican Chain Restaurants in Tulsa lol. Anyway we decided to go to the bar area instead & find a table.
Man I wish I remembered the name of our waitress but she was beyond rude. Little to no patience and obviously did not want to be there serving. I tried to be kind and smile to the waitress but no luck. She was still rude.
Regardless, I tried to enjoy my time with my mother and ordered some drinks. Love the chips and queso combo for free btw! Can even have fresh tortillas with them. Yum! But was so disappointed in our entrees. We both ordered tamales but different kinds and they were beyond dry. Suppose to be homemade but definitely not even close to a real tamale. Honesty was so disappointed that I couldn’t even finish one. Told my waitress and she shrugged and did nothing. No comment, no manager, no suggestions no nothing. Literally shrugged and if we needed anything else.
Rude.
Ate there before with my husband and notice the food there is mediocre at best. Much prefer my hole in the wall Mexicans restaurants than fake food and rude staff. Not going there again even if someone paid for my meal. Done with that mess.
But like I said, voted 1 star because of salsa & queso. Only redeeming quality. And they do play good music.

Friend told me about it love the free queso and tortillas Great food great waiters and waitresses

I went during lunch. I got a combo where you can pick two items, so I got an enchilada & a beef taco. Both were good. I really enjoyed the taco, I got the ground beef. Their salsa is really good, a must have. The enchilada was with ground beef as well along with chili con carne. Also, beforehand, they give you chips & salsa WITH queso that’s free.

Average food. Actually had a credit card number stolen from an employee. The store manager was helpful when I explained the situation to him, but it’s still kept me from returning. Always check your card balances…

We drove up to Ted’s on a Friday night at 6:30pm and there were people waiting outside, but our wait ended up being only 20 minutes or so. We were seated in a terrible table (first one you come to after the hostess stand), so my mom, who wears hearing aids, couldn’t hear a thing. Our waitress was great and she kept the chips, salsa, and queso filled. Chips were good — not greasy and very light and airy, and the queso dip was good (and free) but I must say that my entrée was average and not amazing like I was expecting. The free sopapillas at the end of the meal were the best part!
Good service, lots of free extras, but very average American-​style tex-​mex.

This a good Mexican food place. They have great food and free soft tortilla, chips, salsa, queso. It will fill you up!

I love Teds. They really take care of their customers. Whether it’s fajitas or a taco salad, I’m all for teds. Yum! Ask for relish and tortillas. Free. Cheese sauce. Free. Sopapillas. Free. Set up to go when you finish. Free.

The best thing about Ted’s was our waitress, Sara. I didn’t have the heart to tell her the food was sub par. Not impressed in any way shape or form and not going back.

Really the only thing that comes to mind first is that I was blown away by my experience.
I just moved to the Tulsa area a couple months ago and now I have found my favorite tex-​mex place to go!
I sat at the bar, since I was dining by myself, and the service was excellent. Alberto treated me like I was a king. I ordered the patron margarita and it was very delicious. I’m not one to normally to drink patron, but I can make an exception here. The chips with salsa and queso were bountiful. Be careful though, that spicy salsa can kick you know where. I ordered the chicken fajita enchiladas with the corn and potatoes, and my oh my ¡delicioso! Definitely recommend to try it. After it was all said and done, then came out the free dessert. A very nice sweet end to my dinner!
All in all, I really enjoyed my first time here! I will definitely be back again. Especially since I noticed that Alberto was also a trainer as well, if having Alberto as a trainer then I know the next time I come back whoever is at the bar or at my table I will be treated with the same service.
So good job, you have my five star blessing!

Last ate here on 8.5.15. I reccomend you eat in the bar area. The service is fantastic (ask for Danielle), and the music is better. I had the crunchy tacos with fajita chicken. I highlty reccomend the place for a quick lunch.

I’m not a big fan of Mexican food or at least the American Tex-​Mex variety, I do appreciate a pretty cheesy enchilada every now and then. I was surprised at myself for even suggesting going here for a late lunch following an adventure in furniture shopping.
I’ve been to a Ted’s a few times before and while I can’t say the food is outstanding, it is more than just acceptable. In all honesty, I don’t know what I’m giving this place 4 stars.
I went for the pick your own combo. Got a shredded beef taco, a chicken taco, and a chicken echilada with crema sauce. All the condiments are fresh, plenty of food, that is probably under seasoned on purpose.
It probably has something to do with the general charm and experience. Watching the tortillas being made. Being given unlimited warm flour tortillas and cheese. Having complimentary sopapillas doesn’t hurt either.
For first time visitors are non-​frequent patrons, if you go during peak hours (lunch and dinner) you can expect to wait a long time.

This is actually a great restaurant. I’ve been here before a few years ago and it didn’t really wow me so it was a while before I came back. I’ve sat at the bar top and in the dining area and the service is great every time ago. Thats a big part in why I keep going back so much. Every server has been friendly, and super attentive. The chips and queso are delicious and I’m a creature of habit so I usually get the fajitas which are great as well. They have good kids options, as well as complimentary sopapillas at the end of your meal. All in all this is a great place to go eat with friends or to bring your kids.

I know, I know… I hear from my Latino friends that it is not «authentic», buts Ted’s is still AWESOME!!!
First of all, the service is par excellence; an amazing amount of attentive staff on hand. It ranks very high on this scale. I have been to $ 50 plate steakhouses that couldn’t beat this for staff.
Second, as soon as you are seated you become inundated with all kinds of goodies; queso, salsa, chips, tortillas, etc. It can make it difficult to concentrate on the menu because you are busy stuffing your watering mouth.
Speaking of menus… I found myself stuck on the Wet Burrito. It was that good that I ordered it on nearly each repeat visit.
Your drinks don’t have an opportunity to become empty as refills are nearly as fast as thoughts.
Let’s not forget the sopapillas! Yummy! A mommy’s nightmare and a kid’s dream (big kids too!)
Would definitely visit again (unless my Latino friends pay & take me out to something more «authentic». :-)

They load you down with chips, salsa, and queso. The chips are good, but the salsa and queso both have a strange consistency. Other reviews have talked about the blandness of the food. Well, I’ve never experienced that personally. Anything I’ve had here has been very flavorful, although their menu doesn’t give you many entre choices. Extra star for free sopapillas!!!

Awesome food and better service. Enchiladas are delicious and packed with meat/​cheese. I (like 90% of the Unilocal community) have never been to old Mexico and sampled «real» Mexican cuisine. But, as a big eater who loves tex/​mex. This place is as good or better then any I have sampled all over the U.S. Can’t wait to come back.
Why only 4 stars? 4.99 draught domestic beers.
Come to Ted’s. Order a beer «Ted style» and enjoy your evening. You won’t regret it.

Ted’s is always a great place to get dinner with the family. It isn’t my favorite Mexican food around, but the service is always PHENOMENAL and all the complimentary extras are great when you’re going out on a budget!
*I have gotten the Chicken Monterey several times and it’s always cheesy and delicious, but I would say my favorite dish is the Tacos Carbon. So good.

I appreciate the comment sir. It’s a busy week this week but I will call next week if you wish for the feedback. I will say even though the cheese was a flour bomb it can be said that at least it must be home/​fresh made.

Their chips, quest, and hommade tortillas never fail! This location was very crowded when I went. I love getting the set-​up to go so I can take it to work and share with friends. There is plenty for that and it keeps fairly well.

Teds is THE best Mexican restaurant in Tulsa. In my opinion. The food is always good and fresh. The service is excellent. The servers work together to make sure you’re happy.
This one is a bit smaller than the one I usually go to in Broken Arrow, but the food was just as good and the service was perfect.
My favorite food is the fajitas, but I also like the tacos. What really sets Ted’s apart to me is the setup before the meal. They put out soft, warm, freshly made flour tortillas, which I lather with gobs of real butter — yes, real butter, not a spread! In addition, they offer handmade salsa (hot relish-​like ones on request), hot cheese sauce, and tortilla chips. Some are hotter than the others; some are chunky. I’m not a big fan of the relish ones, but my daughter loves them.
By the time I get to the meal, I’m already a satisfied customer!

Colin has always loved Ted’s so this review may divide our household for a bit but it’ll take something big for me to come here again.
Inside Ted’s is some kitschy décor and it is kept pretty clean. Our server was delightful.
Now, the food. Everything from the chips, to the queso, to the entrees was bland. I had the chicken fajita taco salad. The chicken was flavorless and the lettuce wasn’t crisp. I really want to like it but I feel like I have regrets every time I load up on probably 1,000 calories without thoroughly enjoying it. Know what I mean?
