After several weeks of reviewing restaurants across Oklahoma City’s broad culinary spectrum, it was time to return to my ever-loving roots—cultura alimentaria pura—and go deep with the Southside dining I was craving.
This time, I went to Restaurante Los Artesanos, 2701 S. Walker Ave., a small-time restaurant I heard about last week and had been dreaming about ever since.
From the street, the festive red and blue building, dwarfed by the surrounding neighborhood structures, hinted at something serious: a kitchen that could very well be the beating heart of Oklahoma City’s Mexican food scene.
