Tacos San Pedro

I was expecting more from this place based on what i read and saw online. I tried 2 riffs on the taco: all pastor and carnitas. I found that the meat lacked flavour and was a bit on the dry side. I did enjoy the house made hot sauce though, which packed a punch. maybe I was just in on a bad day?

Everything about this place is tops with me. I grew up on this food in California. I was soooo very excited to know they are available in OKC. So, everytime I visit my family there, I must eat here at least 3 times depending on how long I'm there. Everything not only looks good. It's very tasty. Dad loves the menudo. I like the "flautas", enchiladas, tacos and of course burritos mojados!!! Very family friendly and they do not disappoint.

Dear Taco San Pedro, I love you! Sincerely, your biggest fan!🫶 Seriously the best Mexican around. It’s my favorite place to get amazing authentic Mexican food. I bring all my friends by and have converted them all! The carne asada nachos are one of my biggest go to’s and their horchata is to die for! So delicious and definitely worth every penny!❤️🤤🌮

I gave the "service" only 4 stars because there was no set up. No chips, salsa or relish with the meals. The food was very flavorful and different from what you can get at Ted's, (better). Very comfortable setting, felt like eating at families house.

This is a small business but their food is so excellent!! You get big portions and the taste is incredible. There is no Tex Mex food here believe me, it's so good. I got the Carnitas and beans and rice. The green salsa was the best I ever tasted!! I will definitely be going back❤️

After all these years, these are the worst tacos asada I have every had from here. They are dry and no flavor. Looks like they warmed them up to a crisp or they've been sitting there for awhile. Even the tortillas were cold and hard. Tacos have always been good. Hope this is just a one time thing.

It’s authentic and fast! It is like stepping across the border. Usually get the tacos. I’ve had them all and they’re all good! Al pastor are my favorite with Baja and Carne asada tied for second. The horchata is my favorite drink. Anytime I’m in the area I try and make it work out to eat here. The staff are always super friendly and helpful.

On the south side where you've got many GOOD options, Tacos San Pedro is an easy stand out. They take pride in making food that makes you happy. They even have good queso! I could easily talk about how satisfying a torta or a quesadilla is but I think their Rice & Beans is a great example of a simple meal being made with love. The best part though? The portions are generous so you'll always feel like you got your money's worth. The atmosphere is nice. The seating arrangements are spacious even if you've got a big friend group with you. The music over the speaker is lively so if you want to sit and vibe by yourself, I'm glad to say you can do that too. I heartily recommend Tacos San Pedro.

50 stars for Taco San Pedro !! So I grew up in Hawaiian Gardens, where the OG one started. I have been having Taco San Pedro for over 20+ years. When I go back to HG, me & the family STILL pick up TSP. We ALWAYS order their flautas. They have THEE best flautas. So for me HG has amazing chicken ones, but here in Oklahoma City, the carne asada are better. We travel America in an RV, and NEVER in our wildest dreams would we have thought there's TSP outside of California. We came here and had asked, Huh, is this the same TSP in HG? The owner heard us and said Yes! That one was my dad's restaurant. We order flautas, extra queso, as usual, yumm, they were just like the ones back home. The owner was such a sweetheart!! He sat & we talked about his dad & the restaurant. We told him his flautas were the best we've ever had. NO ONE else is putting lettuce, creama, queso, guacamole on top. I usually buy one plain taco to mop up the "salad" after I'm done with the flautas. This was such a joy to find !!!

Great tasting food , good service and their aguas frescas are the best . It's always clean and their drive threw quick

PERRON!! (Badass!!) food is very authentic, took me back to my childhood days. Ordered the Desayuno , Huevos con Chorizo, asked for tortillas de harina and paired it with a Mexican Coke. Quick service, clean environment, friendly staff. Muy delicioso la verdad. But you should try it for yourself.

Best Food anywhere PERIODT!!!!! I have had Mexican food all over and this place really has everyone beat!!!! It is a real vibe and the food is amazing. They cut no corners and the staff goes about their business like elite professionals. It's a Family owned and operated gem. World Class establishment!

First off Tacos dan Pedro smacks. No I don't go here for Fish tacos obviously where the taste and flavor is, is in their tortas! Yes I love the flautas. But the tortas have set a high standard for me. I love getting the carne asada, husband loves the al pastor. Every time we go there they taste great! I've been visiting since I've been in Oklahoma and it just keeps getting better! Must try their green salsa and their red salsa as well!

A great place with great portions! My friend took me here, and though it is a Mexican establishment, the person taking our order was English-speaking which was helpful with my poor Spanish. I ordered the carne asada nachos, and it was so much food! The chips were fresh, and they did not skimp on the toppings. There was a lot of seating available, and it seems as though the lines here get pretty long. I definitely will be back, and I cannot wait to try something different.

I'm sorry.... This place isn't it. I was excited to hear it was from the same owners as the one in Hawaiian Gardens, CA. but it was huge let down. I grew up eating at the one in CA, and this didn't come near it at all. I ordered over $50 worth of stuff and my family and I didn't even touch half of it and threw it away. For those who say this is the best Mexican food you've had... you obviously never had AUTHENTIC Mexican food. The food had no taste! Fish tacos smelt fishy and tasted like it came from a can. I'm hoping it was an off day for them but I just don't know how you can serve this.

There seemed to be a good variety of options here for anyone adventurous or not. I partly judge a Mexican restaurant by their salsa and theirs was good but not near spicy enough for me. Overall, not to bad.

Was great food enjoyed my dinner and my frescas e crema would recommend but if you are tired head somewhere else because you have to get up and order still good food

Taco San Pedro is our family's favorite Mexican restaurant. First, it is always super clean second, when you come to the register, you can see right into the kitchen. I love when we can do that. The food is home cooking good. The beef flautas, the chicken quesadilla plate, cheese enchiladas rojo and the taco al pastor are few of our favorites. The service is good, the food is great and it is family owned. 4.5 stars from this family!

We took some friends with us & was pleasantly surprised of the food & cleanliness of the restaurant I have been tasting & looking for Al Pastor all over Oklahoma. This place is to die for. Other folks in our party tried various items and all were pleasantly surprised. The owner visited us at our table & shared his Grandmas special sauce recipe with us. You will not be let down with anything offered at this place. Check it out and treat your taste buds to a whole new experience Don B. OKC.

Food is delicious. Easy on your wallet. Wholesome atmosphere. You order, go sit downget your order, eat. It's that simple.

So good! I always try to mix it up when I order. The Wifey orders the same thing every time. But each thing I have ordered is always delicious!! The lobby is open for dine in (yay!) and everything is super clean and bright. It's so fun to eat inside bc it's colorful and just a happy place! Wifey tip: you can get your food to go and have a picnic!

Great little taco & more place in South OKC. Good portions, friendly people & the food tasted great. They don't take Amex, but other than that it was a great find. Worth stopping by.

Best Authentic Mexican food I've ever had in any state. It's super consistent and delicious across the whole menu. Original salsas and flavors you can't replicate. I recommend everyone in Oklahoma City to visit here and I haven't heard anyone disappointed ever! Wow I can't say enough. Their carnitas salsa for chips is insane! Their salsa verde is mind blowing on everything. Just stop reading and start driving to the south side straight to Tacos San Pedro!

Great find! We tried delicious, authentic tacos - both carne asada and pork carnitas - and beef flautas. We had a side of rice and frijoles as well. Everything was fabulous and flavorful. We enjoyed both kinds of tacos with the carnitas being the slight favorite due to intense flavor. Prices were excellent (flautas were $7.50, tacos about $2.90 each and we ordered 4). This is not a typical Tex mex restaurant - it's the real deal, so don't expect complimentary chips and salsa, and be ready to order at the counter when you walk in. It was totally worth the drive for us and we'll be back soon for more delicious tacos and more!

I love their chopped beef tocos The mixture of beef, onions, and Cilantro is perfect. The owner and staff (all family I think) are very friendly and welcoming. I've got to try more items on the menu as it all looks sooo good.

I like that they don't open on Tuesdays. Tuesday is the worst day of the week. Get their flautas, get a full order. Thicc people are more fun. Don't deny yourself.

The best tacos in the state, they've been around since I was a kid and the taste has been consistent. Expect the taste to be different from a taco stand. Clean place, no much to say about the service, as you don't interact with them, just when they call you to come get your food from the counter.

This is the best mexican food I have ever had. I'm not even exaggerating. Unbelievable. I got the gordita (bean and cheese). The masa was orange and flavorful and extremely tasty alongside the warm beans and gooey cheese. Like a warm hug from grandma. I couldn't resist so also got an individual cheese enchilada with red sauce. It wasn't soaking in sauce but the corn tortilla was cooked in the red sauce giving it the most amazing indescribable flavor (the queso fresco was an excellent touch). I got the Jamaica drink I get everywhere but theirs unfortunately wasn't good at all so I traded my husband for his horchata. The horchata was wonderful. It's clearly homemade and not a watered down drink mix like most places I get it from. Creamy and not overly sweet with the right amount of cinnamon. I also watched the guy clean the tables very thoroughly as everyone around us left. Very comforting to see! The music wasn't blaring like most Mexican restaurants, the food got out in a timely manner, and the tv was playing some traveling youtuber. Very cool place! Other than it being a bit too chilly in there and being sad over the Jamaica - this was overall the best Mexican food place I've ever been to in my life and I honestly hope more than anything to go back at least a few more times! Keep doing what you're doing there, 10/10 could not recommend this any more that I do!

Listen. This place is so consistent with their quality and taste it's crazy. I usually get the chicken flautas and they never miss. Always flavorful, cooked well, and just tasty. First time getting the wet burrito with green sauce and ugh I wish I could insert gifs on here because this burrito made me do a little happy dance. My fiancé loves the Gorditassss! Gives them 10/10 If you're looking for good quality, flavorful Mexican food that gives fast food yet restaurant vibes give this place a try!

I loved this spot. Plenty of seating but lines do form. I got the chili verde carnitas burrito and I will be back to get it again. Customer service was also on point.

The tacos have gotten expensive. Relatively speaking, of course. They're like $2.50 now. Still not pricey in the grand scheme of things, but over the course of the last few years, they've gone from approximately $6-8(ish) for 4 tacos to $10 for 4 tacos. I used to be able to order a handful of tacos and not worry about crossing $10. Now... Now, there's some inflation happening and $10 won't cut it... Overall, the tacos are reasonable (in terms of flavor, size, etc.), but when you have other taquerias with similar (or better) tasting fare, price becomes the major differentiator. Just off the top of my head, I can think of three places in Greater Oklahoma City with similar tacos (in terms of flavor, size, etc.) for $1.00-1.75 apiece. Also, I decided to try a Torta on a recent visit, and it was "Eh." The Baja Fish tacos (seems like a new addition) are pretty decent, as are the regular Pescado tacos, and have become the go-to choices in recent visits. But anyway, Yeah... There are better options in town. The fact that they accept credit cards is nice though. Their wait times are still really long, so that's been consistent at least....

I'll be the first to say that I'm not familiar with Mexican cuisine but the soup was light similar to pho. They give you a huge half of a lime. The chicken flakes right off the bone. A very homey vibe with tasteful food. Authentic right from mama's kitchen

I've been eating at Tacos San Pedro for 20 years and I just realized I've never written a review! TSP was my introduction to Mexican street tacos and I've loved them ever since. My favorite TSP taco, by far, is the Al Pastor. Their seasoning is excellent and the meat is always juicy and tender. My second favorite is the fish taco. This is the original version, which is like stewed fish, rather than the newer fried version (Baja??) they also now have. Asada is next on my list and is always good, especially with the red sauce they give you. Over the years, I've eaten many chicken burritos and tacos, but the last few times I've gotten a chicken item, the chicken was different than it had been in previous years, so I stopped ordering the chicken. By no means bad, but not what I was used to. Possibly one of the best items on their menu is the Al Pastor Torta. All I can say is, try it!!! if you like Mexican street tacos, give Tacos San Pedro a try! If you've never had Mexican street tacos, also give them a try. I bet you'll love it!

Not my favorite on the south side, but it's still a good option. Easy in and easy out. Bright side - they do have Capri sun and kool aid jammers. Also they PACK their tacos with meat. Literally all you need is two tacos to be full. Don't be surprised by the $2.75 per taco, because you're eating 3 typical meat serving sizes in one taco. They have plenty of salsas to choose from and you can serve yourself to however much or little you'd like. Other reviews say to get the enchiladas and I'd probably say that they are correct!

I have NO idea what took me so long to find this little gem. My husband comes here often, but I never thought it would be something I really would crave... Until now! The food is really good and authentic, let's get that straight. All you queso and chip lovers, myself included, brace yourselves because they don't make queso. Calm down, it's going to be ok. They make up for it with HOMEMADE chips and a red salsa and a tomatillo sauce. Yup, you read that right. They have the novel idea of making chips in-house instead of ordering them from Sysco, or what have you. Let's just say, we had leftovers and brought them home. Immediately my kids demolished them. I had a half order of beef nachos and a half order of beef taquitos. I sat there and had a full on conversation with a couple of friends, trying to be polite and not inhale my lunch which took a while... The homemade chips were still crunchy! Halleluyuuur! It was awesome. The taquitos were really tasty and had a good crunch without tasting like oil like you get at so many places.... Ya girl is a food snob sometimes. I just know what's good and what's not. My husband had the huevos rancheros with rice and beans. My four year old had a quesadilla with rice and beans and my five year old had a bean burrito. The four year old ate his in record time, my husband could have licked his plate and the five year old could only eat half of his burrito. All in all, it was a good experience. We said on the way out, we need to return at LEAST once a month. I would recommend this for anyone to try.

I love this place, it's been a staple of southwest OKC for years. The food is fantastic and the staff is super friendly.

By far my favorite place for authentic Mexican food! Tacos are delicious and love the burritos. My husband loves the menudo!

It's been a few years since I was here last and remembered it being very good. We stopped in for an early lunch on Sunday and we ordered tacos de tripitas and asked that the tripe be fried extra crispy (it taste like crispy bacon), unfortunately it was not and was very rubbery. The chicken tacos were ok, not much zest in favor. The Flautas both chicken and beef were very good. My beef burrito was just ok, very plain tasting - what happened to using spices? I stick with Los Comales on Agnew and Taqueria Los Desvelados on 29th both excellent!

Excellent fresh food ,with a good taste service is fast depending of the day The quesadillas ,burritos and tacos are pretty good not greasy at all ,is in a good point. The place is little but confotable ,clean

Yum. Just yum. This place is hidden on SW 44th. Their food is SO flavorful that I can't get enough. I ended up ordering a carne asada torta and quesadilla. The quesadilla comes with rice and beans. The torta includes the meat, beans, lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, mayo and mustard. So freaking good. Like one of the best tortas I've ever had here in Oklahoma. The quesadilla was gigantic. Everything filled me up so much. Totally in a food coma as I write this review. Definitely will be back to try something else!

Their lemonade is the best, any juice really. Tacos are always good. Not once did they make it differently

This is where my husband and I go when we're craving some authentic Mexican food. It looks like it used to be some type of fast food restaurant but has now been repurposed. Walking in, the smells of a good Mexican kitchen surround you! They have amazing tacos (lengua and carnitas are my favorite), burritos, sopas , menudo, and my new favorite, caldo de pollo which they serve on the weekends. Tacos are served with yummy pickled carrots and onions. They have traditional drinks such as horchata and juices. They also have a little section with Mexican sweets and desserts. It's unlike a lot of Mexican restaurants that have become very American-ized. Try Tacos San Pedro if you're ever in the area. You won't regret it!

Best lengua (tongue) and cabeza (head meat) tacos in the entire city, IMHO. A true south OKC institution -- and with damn good reason. (This place has been here around a quarter of a century. Think about it -- that says a lot in a town that's filled with bad Mexican joints that come and go like winter head colds.) Tacos San Pedro offers generous portions of tasty food at reasonable prices. It'll almost always be busy when you go in, and, unless you're Hispanic, you'll be in the minority. ALWAYS. And yes, that's a very good sign. (See, I almost always judge a Mexican restaurant by how many white folks I see in there versus Hispanic folks. You definitely want to go where the preponderance of customers is, well, brown. TRUST ME. There's plenty of bad Tex-Mex crap in this town that caters toward dumb Anglos. And it's CRAP. GO HERE INSTEAD.) This place has an à la carte menu, so don't sashay in thinking that you're going to be greeted by a big basket of chips, complete with salsa and queso. Nope -- you'll pay for that here. (And that's OK, as the portions are huge and the restaurateur keeps his cost low by making you order à la carte. Smart move.) The chip and salsa plate is only five bucks or so, and comes with a side of the house guacamole. The chips and salsa are bottomless, too, so you can always get that refill if you insist, and at no extra charge. By the bye, you'll order at the counter, not at your table. Just put on your big girl panties and stand in line. The Wet Burrito is a house specialty, and you really owe it to yourself to sample it. (It's massive -- big enough to satisfy the biggest appetite.) The tortas are large and fully stuffed and dressed. (I suggest going with the pastor meat. It's a personal favorite.) The flan here is surprisingly bland, though. If you must get a dessert, nab the Tres Leches. (I won't lie. The flan disappointed me. I expected more egg yolk-y richness, and not so, well, bland a custard.) The horchata's very good, as is the Jamaica. (I'm pretty sure that the aguas frescas are made on site, but can't promise you that. Whatever the case, the ones I've had are top rate.) Parking can be tough if the lot's full. That's a fact, Jack. (That said, though, a full parking lot is a very good sign. Think about it.) The staff is upbeat, friendly, and helpful. That part is always consistent. Go here and avoid all that northside Anglo Tex-Mex crap. You''ll thank me later for my sage advice, kid.

Best beef burrito in the state. Homemade chips and salsa leave you wanting more. The service is great if you are Hispanic, unfortunately I am not so the wait was longer than it should have been

This is an authentic Mexican fast food joint. They have a huge selection of food. Quesadillas, nachos, tacos, burritos, gorditas, flautas, tostadas, soup, enchiladas, carne a dada...the list goes on. Very fast and friendly service. I got the chicken verde flautas. Topped with lettuce, guacamole, sour cream and cheese. These were cooked perfectly. The perfect amount of crunch but not hard as a rock. Comes with 3 or 5. My boyfriend got beef gorditas. I normally don't go for these myself because I don't really care for arepa but these were pretty damn good. Meat, beans and all the veggies. The girls both got tacos which they enjoyed but it was a bit spicy for them with the red sauce they put on them. Next time we will have to remember no sauce We will for sure be going back.

Well done, Yelpers! You were certainly right about this one. Mr K and I finally checked this out on Saturday night after a busy day of this and that. I was hungry for Mexican, but definitely wanted to try something new. So we ended up here, after the short little highway drive to the south side. We're both enchilada people, so K got the green with beef and I got the red with chicken. I absolutely loved mine, but I actually think his had more flavor. I also loved their chips and salsa. I don't think I want to know how much frying it takes to get those chips just right, so please don't anyone tell me! We will definitely be back as I intend to work my way through this menu. It was so good, I didn't even mind that I couldn't have a beer.

so good, idk what these yt people are talking about LMAO. VIVA LA RAZA!!! tacos bomb as always, the aguas frescas amazing as well. my favorite underrated menu item are the tortas, so so so good. vengo aquí 2-3 veces a la semana!

AGUA DE MELÓN. It's not the tacos that keep me coming back. The tacos are good, don't get me wrong. It's the cantaloupe fruit water that makes me want to drive 30 mins just to get it. Every time I come here, I know that fruit water is freshly made. None of that klass powder additive crap. I don't know how many times I've ordered cantaloupe water elsewhere and it's all trash. Very rarely is it that I find one. But this place is a gem. Only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

Tacos San Pedro is just like the tacos I had in Mexico! Imagine that! I had three different tacos, one was beef cheek or something, the other two were Asada and Al Pastor. It was great. You can get a little plate of pickled carrots and Jalapenos for nothing upon request. Great lunch for less then ten bucks. No brains on the menu. Are there anymore gems like this in OKC? I shall see...

Best real taco in the city!!! I'm not kidding , I've been eating there for a least 10 years now

I use to go here once a week when I worked near by. The flautas are so delicious. I recently stopped by and the food is still super delicious.

Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Cleanliness: 2/5 Decor & Style: 1/5 Tacos are authentic so that's all you need to know. If you're in the area then it's the place to be to have lunch/dinner/snacking, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. This is a fast hood hole, FYI. Very good tacos and I recommend trying a wide variety!

This is the best Mexican cuisine in okc, friendly people working every time I come here, really inexpensive & the food is so good it is impossible not to return, I have been to a lot of restaurants in my lifetime, but this one is my favorite.

Excellent tacos. Don't let the simple outside keep you from going inside. The staff is plentiful and very helpful which is good because this place was busy at lunch.

Excellent fresh and tasty food! Never over-cooked, always tender. Thanks for keeping the quality high through the years. Love the chicken flautas, the nachos, even the Tamarind drink makes it authentic. You will never go wrong with the many selections. I love bringing in new folks to experience the authentic Mexican flavors and color... better than my grandma or Taco XXXX (fill in the blank) makes it!

Possibly the best Mexican restaurant in OKC! I've been going here for almost ten years and look forward to my meal every time. My favorite is the delicious Chicken Wet Burrito. Come for lunch or dinner - you won't be disappointed!!

I ordered Nacho fries and they had NO Nacho cheese!!!! They should change the name to shredded cheese fries instead of Nacho fries
