"Remember as a kid, your mom said don’t swallow your gum because it will get all hung up inside you. I am very worried about the cheese that was in the chili relleno. Before selecting a restaurant, I always scan the reviews and pictures. Especially the pictures. The pictures have more information than most reviews. A fellow Yelp reviewer posted a picture of a live roach that he had dispassionately and callously “Flicked” to the floor. He didn’t describe the outcome on the roach’s wellbeing the after the assault. We can only hope it turned out positively for the roach. I am no entomologist, but in the picture the roach looked like he was healthy and had been well fed. That’s a strong indication that the food is good. Convincing pictorial evidence that got me on the road to Sallisaw. And it was. Thin crisp chips. Great salsa picante. Fast attentive friendly service. The flavor and seasoning of the food were very good. I like a good mole rojo on relleno. El Toro’s hit the spot. My taco and my wife’s enchiladas, beans and rice made up good OkieMex plates of food. Enjoyable except for the cheese filled relleno. The cheese in the relleno was most likely made by Wrigley’s or Goodyear; a stringy, chewy, vulcanized mozzarella on steroids. If a cheese could have gristle this cheese would be the one. Even though the cheese was heated to mouth scorching temperatures it maintained its elasticity and only got stronger as it cooled in my mouth. Chewy and tasteless. It was not Monterey Jack. My recommendation is to pass on the relleno until the restaurant switches to a cheese less chewy than a bungee cord. Or get it filled with meat, WITHOUT cheese. With all that said……I still recommend El Toro! Easy access off I-40. Lots of parking space. A clean, nicely decorated restaurant.
