Good Mexican Restaurants in the Lawton OK Area

I've been to many Mexican Restaurants in the Lawton area since moving here because my husband and I are huge fans of the cuisine. We met in Texas so we've had really good Mexican food in the past and are always hunting for more wherever we go. In GA, we found two that we were regulars in. Here are some of the Mexican Restaurants in OK and GA I've tried:

Arturro's in Anadarko, OK.
Try the fried fish, it's excellent! Also, the quesadillas are delicious and perfect for a hefty appetite.

Mexican & More in Elgin, OK.
This place was too expensive for sub-par food.

Temaczal in Chickasha, OK.
I like this place pretty well. I think my favorite here is their pickled veggies and chimichanga.

Los Tres Amigos in Lawton, OK.
They have really good carne asada and salsa. My mom even asked the owner for the recipe, and he was happy to share!

Chelino's in Norman, OK.
I really like this place's tortillas and cheese dip.

Los Amigos in Columbus, GA.
Very good!

El Vaquero in Columbus, GA.
Another of our favorites.


Please let me know if you have a Mexican Food suggestion for me to try!
Please comment if you've eaten at any of these places!

Meers Country Store and Restaurant

My Family and I outside of Meers.



The Meers Country Store and Restaurant isn't much of a store, but it is a great restaurant. It has received many awards and high marks for it's Longhorn Burgers, and in my opinion has the best Banana Pudding ever. My husband and I were told about this restaurant by someone who had previously lived here.

Our first venture to Meers was a failure. We mapped the location on Mapquest, and drove for what felt like forever in the middle of nowhere until we finally turned around. We both agreed, there's no possible way there's a restaurant out here! We ended up eating at a sub-par restaurant close to the lake and I wound up with food poisoning. Ick!

We finally decided to go out there again, and lo and behold, they really were out in the middle of nowhere! After driving about 25 miles from our home, we arrived to a dead end right to the Restaurant. It's over 100 years old, and practically falling apart.

After we tried their Meers Burger, we were hooked. Since our first visit, we've taken our parents, friends, and siblings for a Meers Burger as well. We suggest it to all of our friends and anyone we meet who is new to the area.

Meers is located close to the Wichita Mountains, Mount Scott (the only mountain in OK!), and the Wildlife Refuge. There is a really neat Museum at the Visitors center, only a few miles from the restaurant if you head down the left side of the road when you're facing the front of Meers. If you head out there, take pictures of the beautiful scenery! You might see a buffalo along the way!

Comment here with pictures of yourself eating here! We would love to hear your experience at the restaurant. You might just make it on the front page of the blog!

And remember,
If it's not good, don't eat it!
