Kalakas Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Warr Acres

Kalakas Mexican Restaurant is truly a gem in the Oklahoma City area. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that immediately immerses you in the vibrant and rich tradition of Mexican culture. The décor, themed around kalakas (skeletons), is tastefully done and adds such a unique, festive touch, it feels like you’ve stepped into a beautiful celebration of heritage and art.

We started our meal with the fish and shrimp ceviche, which was absolutely perfect. The flavor balance was spot on, a refreshing lime base with just a hint of spice. As someone who finds many ceviches in OKC overly spicy, I was thrilled to finally enjoy one where the heat didn’t overpower the flavor. This one let the freshness of the seafood shine through beautifully.

My 13 year old daughter ordered the birria tacos, and she absolutely loved them. She was able to request less spice, and they were incredibly accommodating, the result was tender, flavorful tacos she couldn’t stop raving about. I also tried the Mexican style tacos along with rice and beans, which were incredibly authentic and full of bold, savory flavor.

My 9-year-old son had the pescado con arroz (fish with rice), and it was a hit. The fish was light, fresh, and perfectly crisped, and the white rice with mixed vegetables added a nice, healthy balance to the dish. It’s always wonderful when kids enjoy their meals, and he definitely cleaned his plate!

Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying the wet burrito, and I’m so glad we did. We opted to pair it with their cream sauce and salsa especial, a combination that took the dish to the next level. Rich, comforting, and very filling.

One small but appreciated detail, the bathrooms were exceptionally clean and surprisingly well-decorated. My 13 year old daughter was so impressed she ended up taking selfies in there, not something she usually does in a restaurant bathroom, so that says a lot!

Overall, Kalakas has quickly become a new favorite. The staff was friendly, the service was attentive, and the food was truly outstanding. Whether you’re craving authentic Mexican comfort food or something a little lighter and fresh like ceviche, Kalakas delivers on every level....

A Taste of Mexico: A Culinary Journey in Oklahoma City I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kalakas, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Oklahoma City. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was transported to a vibrant Mexican oasis. The warm, inviting atmosphere was enhanced by the lively aroma of spices and sizzling fajitas. The menu was a delightful array of traditional and innovative Mexican dishes, each one a testament to the chef's culinary artistry. I started with a basket of freshly made chips and a trio of salsas that ranged from mild to fiery. The spicy salsa was particularly memorable, with a bold and flavorful kick that left my taste buds wanting more. For my main course, I indulged in the Cochinita Pibil Plate, a masterpiece of flavor and texture. The marinated shoulder blade was incredibly tender and juicy, with a rich and satisfying flavor. The accompanying achiote paste added a delightful depth of flavor, while the [Ingredient] provided a refreshing contrast. The dish was served with a side of perfectly seasoned rice and beans, completing a truly satisfying meal. The service was impeccable, with our server Brenda being particularly amazing with my daughter. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The overall experience was nothing short of exceptional. If you're searching for an authentic and unforgettable Mexican dining experience in Oklahoma City, Kalakas is a must-visit. I hope this revised review meets your...

See I’m the person that goes from state to state to judge their restaurant and I give good report or I let the health department know what’s really going on, So first thing is I got this tequila drink it’s called Paloma Nedra is strong and barely taste the grapefruit soda and now I had a tequila sunrise and the pineapple was very dry and it didn’t taste like a pineapple but the drink is good Then after that she came by and gave me my ticket and said have a nice day and didn’t even asked me if I was done or want anything drink!! The people here are not welcoming at all, and the costumers isn’t important to them and they don’t know how to makes drinks either tequila sunrise was probably one of the drinks that didn’t just tease like alcohol!! And the food I got Gorditas and it was 9.29 I asked to substitute the beans for rice and the food was amazing but tortilla was dry! And they and they don’t check on their customers and plus most of their tequila drinks taste like tequila than the other flavor! They are really heavy handed with their liquor (not completely)!! And they asked me if everything was okay and they didn’t even take any off my ticket they still gave me full price and they gave me cheese and I’m allergic to it, it could have sent me to icu to the hospital, I’m going to let my boss know and the health department, this restaurant should...
