I'm sure you've already come and gone, but I am told that, as of sometime in October, TiaJuana is history ... they're closing the doors.
The Flamingo has great chili burgers. Funny because I was taken there by two guys that worked for the Health Dept.

No way!! Having said that, I haven't been there in 25 years.
Napoli's isn't bad if you like Pasta dishes.
Its always full, so somebody must like it. I've been there twice, and it was OK.

My take on this thread: somebody opening a decent place to eat in Enid that's not Mexican or a chain could stand to make some money. I find it interesting that a town the size of Enid has no place good enough to get multiple comments on OSA, a place where food and restaurant recommendations are more numerous than discussions of calibers.

I grew up in Enid. It's an interesting mix of people and IMO that's why restaurants often have a tough time there. It comes down to good help or lack thereof.
Enid has some old money and then there is a significant amount of people associated with Vance. Most of those people have other things going and don't work in restaurants. But then Enid has a disturbing amount of what we referred to as "wheel spinners". These are the people who have no desire whatsoever to do anything with their lives other than hang out, drink, run meth, not work, and hope for that winning lottery ticket.
Though I've never considered Red Lobster as an upscale restaurant, it was a BIG deal when one opened in Enid. It didn't last long. Couldn't keep it open due to -shock!- lack of people who could rub more than 3 brain cells together and put in an honest day's work.
tell us how you really feel steve! theres some truth there though. thats why flatwins and i left at early ages never to return. okie4570 got the callahans right. they have a nice menu and i've always liked what i ordered. for mexican i like playa azul on owen k garriot by the tracks. the wee too restaurant for breakfast out by the fairgrounds.
We moved to the area in 1994 from Edmond, Bartlesville prior to that, and it is sort of a bizzaro mix. Good people for the most part, you can find trouble if you look for it as well. I'll second dlbleak's western omlet at the Wee Too. Wait a minute.........................................I don't have any old money, I don't work at Vance....................................
THIS^^^
Seriously 99% of the time service sucks in this town, there are a few good eggs in the bunch but seriously more often than not we leave places unhappy and don't go back. It sucks that to honestly get a great meal with great service we have to leave Enid. That's just my two cents though.
Cafe Garcia is pretty decent, Napoli's is good, Boomerang Burger isn't bad, Lennox Drive in is good, Pastimes is hit and miss, there is a guy with a Pizza Truck on broadway on the east side of town and his pizza is awesome, Blaze's BBQ is good too.
Oh and I work at Vance, but have lived in and traveled to a lot of states, Enid is just..... well lets just say different.
