Guidebook for Norman
Food Scene
This is the best Mexican restaurant in the world. Everything is excellent, and there's a good chance you'll see us there too! They pack things well for takeaway too, if you want to swing by and pick it up but eat at home. Our favorites are the Veggie Sopes, Enchiladas Verdes with Pork and the Chile Relleno. Don't miss their awesome Margaritas either. Note... this is a Mexican restaurant, NOT TEXMEX. Closed on Sundays.

OK, so this place looks like it's a front for the mob, but it's actually the best Chinese Food in Norman. We lived here for 20 years before we tried it on the recommendation of a friend, and it's been our go to ever since. Order online through their website for a weekday lunch and pick up for huge portions at low prices!
