Campesinos Méxican Restaurant - Jenks, Oklahoma

We stopped here after visiting the Oklahoma Aquarium, and so glad we did! This was a Wednesday evening around 4:30 and it wasn’t crowded, which was good, as we had a young child with us and we wanted to wind down with a quiet meal. The service was fast, very courteous, and accurate. The staff accommodated every request with a smile. The food was fantastic! I think it’s the best I’ve had at any Mexican restaurant. I had the Pollo Hawaiian and it was outstanding. Our family of four ate for less than $65 and all the food was excellent except I took off one star for the chips and salsa because they were not great- the chips were sort of thick and heavy and the salsa tasted like canned pizza or marinara sauce, but still not bad. Would definitely come here again!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in all of the Tulsa area! So good and not overpriced. Their margaritas are so tasty and they actually put enough tequila in them.

Jose was not patient with me because of my broken spanish i assume. He had trouble understanding my English but insisted he understood English well. I tried to order the Quesadilla Texana, and he started recommending other Quesadilla's to me, with an informal and inpatient manner. I apologized several times, but he continued to have the same dismissive attitude. I hope the next time I'm back, I can leave a better review. It helps me to practice my spanish with fluent spanish speakers when I eat at their restaurants. The attitude makes me uneasy and doesn't make me feel any better about the spanish that I DO know.

I apologize José. Please understand and I hope we can make up.

The chef also needs to lookout for shrimp with poop in it, before cooking and serving it.

Other than that, service, food and atmosphere was decent.

Very Good Mexican Food in Jenks!
You can argue all day long about Tex-Mex vs. Mexican. The distinction is becoming so blurred doesn’t make much difference. The way restaurants mix things up anymore, the difference between the two can depend on which side of the plate you are talking about. There is the discussion of yellow cheese vs. white cheese, corn vs. flour tortillas, and cumin, chili powder, and chili peppers vs. none. For me, I break it into spicy and hot vs. mildly seasoned (or very little seasoning). My experience is that the food in most restaurants that promote themselves as traditional Mexican tends to be mild to very lightly seasoned with little to no heat from chili peppers, and they use mostly white cheese. There is the exception! If the menu item ends with “diablo” or “diabla” it may not be spicy, but it should have some heat to it!
For my one time visit to Campesinos, based on the food we had and looking at the menu, their food tends to be on the mild, lightly spiced side of the Mexican food argument.
We had the Pollo Asado and the Enchiladas Surpremas. The Pollo Assado was a thin, lightly seasoned chicken breast covered with a cheese sauce, mushrooms, bell pepper slices, onions and tomatoes. It was a very fresh, tasty meal. I went for the Enchiladas Surpremas, because I wanted to try the flavors of the various meats they serve. It was five enchiladas, (cheese, bean, ground beef, shredded beef, and chicken). They can be ordered with red sauce or grated cheese on top. I went with the cheese, so it wouldn’t cover up the taste of the fillings in the enchiladas. All of the enchiladas were good. The bean and cheese enchiladas didn’t have any seasoning at all and the meats were lightly seasoned. Even though I prefer the spicy hot Mexican food, I have to give Campesinos credit for serving quality, good tasting food.
It is a clean restaurant, the service is good, the food is mildly spiced, and it served up hot and fresh!
If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check out my reviews in my collection "Jalapeno Highway" on Yelp. I've probably been there.

This is my husband and I's go to spot. They are always so nice, quick, professional and the food is ALWAYS good. Not the best food ever, sure. But it's simple, reliable, affordable, comforting food.
We also love to order ahead and pick our food up!

Food was fast, hot and tasted wonderful. The tamale was my favorite. I will definitely be coming back. Service was great as well.

This was my first visit, and most likely my last. The visit started off poorly with what I would call a customer service issue. I arrived at 2:55 PM. Their lunch special runs until 3PM. By the time we got our drinks and the server took the order, it was 3:01 PM. They said the lunch special ends at 3 even though we were there and seated by 3. There was $1.50 additional charge per plate to have the "special". That took the price of a 3-item plate from $6.99 to $8.49. The protons on the plate were not that great. I had a Chili Relleno, a single beef enchalada, and a quesadilla (which was a tortilla folded in half with melted cheese inside). White Queso on top was an extra $0.50. the chili relleno was tough and chewy. The enchilada was bland and far from anything special. The tastiest thing on the plate was the quesadilla. The speed of service was good and was the highlight of the experience, although the friendliness of the servers did not match that quality. With so many options for Mexican food in the area, you're better off choosing a different venue.
