Ted's Café Escondido

Hey there, I was stuck in traffic in the big rush hour ... left brick town heading west......got busy at work and forgot to eat lunch....well I guess you see where this is heading!
TED's of course. I walk in the door head straight to the hostess stand and what do I get? The stink eye from the young child seating customers. I decided to meet his unwelcome gaze and see what would unfold. After an awkward silence he manages a "what do you want?" I said I want to eat, this a restaurant isn't it? Wow blew me away must have been having a bad day...oh well....on to a table, probably would have left but I was hungry. After chips were dropped off finally a friendly greeting from waitress and it was on. Yes great food and excellent service was had.
I ordered the relish and some corn tortillas everything was delicious. Had the cheese chili relleno and wow so good. My faith in Ted's was restored!!!

This is a convenient spot. I've never been a huge fan of Ted's but a couple of months ago, I had a great lunch here. Today was just meh.

I ordered the stuffed avocados and requested the black bean/corn relish for the stuffing. The waitress was insistent that the relish came on the side and that I had to pick a meat stuffing. I reread the menu and though I was right but she was insistent. I ordered the shredded beef. Dish came out with lots of beef stuffing and no corn or black beans in sight.

It was also FREEZING inside.

I ended up scraping up most of beef. Left one whole avocado uneaten. On the plus side, there's the queso, tortillas and sopapillas!

Ted's is a convenient lunch spot when on the west side of OKC, or outlet shopping. Had lunch with a big group, and service was good. It was freezing inside though. We had plenty of chips, dips, and tortillas. I love the relish. That complimentary set up is always the best part because the food itself is less than mediocre Tex mex. I tried a chicken wrap this time, and it was okay. The chicken tortilla soup is my usual go-to. I only eat here with folks who want to go, but I wouldn't choose Ted's on my own. But it was a fine lunch with my coworkers.

We waited an hour to be seated. Then waited 45 minutes at the table for our meal. The rice was crunchy, beans were cold, we never had all the items we asked for - missing drinks, or queso, or tortillas, or chips. We love Ted's, but we're a No-Go on this one from now on.

Great food and amazing service!. The wait list moves quickly. Always excited to bring our family to eat.

Im from Texas...here for work...worst Mexican food I think I've ever had. End of story.

There was something chewy in the rice, the queso was bland, and the taco meat was dry. Seek elsewhere.

If you're looking for a solid Mexican restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, Teds Cafe Escondido is a great choice. The food is consistently good, although it's not the best Mexican cuisine I've ever had. The tamales are decent but not exceptional. However, the real standouts are the homemade flour tortillas and sopapillas, which are absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere is also great, with a lively and welcoming vibe that's perfect for a casual night out. The staff are friendly and attentive, always happy to offer recommendations or answer any questions you might have.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Teds Cafe Escondido for anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable Mexican dining experience. While the food might not blow you away, it's still tasty and satisfying, and the atmosphere and staff make it a great place to relax and enjoy some delicious food.

The food was very good. It's been a while since we last visited this place and it was great. The salsa was very good and fresh. The services was fantastic very attentive and the atmosphere was relaxing and fast paced. We will be back!

Food is AMAZING. Service has always been good no matter how busy they were. Only thing I would say is that it gets very busy on the weekends, as does most other places. 10/10 would recommend

It's one of the best local Mexican food places. Definitely a FIVE Star.
Food was delicious. I ordered steak fajitas and that was great. Little bit salty, but overall amazing.
Staff was very helpful and quick.
It has very nice and casual environment. We were party of six. It was great for us.
