Chelino's Mexican Restaurant (1605 North Meridian, OKC)

The food was standard Americanized Mexican. More authentic Mexican than some restaurants. It was great and the service was attentive.

My friend and I stopped in for a late lunch. We were immediately seated once we entered. Our drink orders were promptly taken, but we wanted to take a look at the menu before we decided what to eat.

The fajitas were tasteless with no seasoning and everything seemed to just be steamed or boiled even the peppers and onions and I didn’t see not even a speck of pepper or any other seaso

OK, here it is I wasn't a fan of chelinos haven't been in in many yrs. Reason many yrs ago they were good but then they grew got bigger and quality changed. So today to my surprise the food was really good, huge portion servings. Service was amazing, place could use a face lift but I say chelinos is back on my radar.
