The deepest category in this hub. Oklahoma City eats in districts and most of them are walkable once you are in one: Automobile Alley and Deep Deuce north of downtown, Bricktown along the canal, the Plaza District on Sixteenth Street, the Paseo north of that, and Capitol Hill on the south side. Soul food, seafood, Ethiopian and dessert kitchens are all here, and several of these businesses are catering, counter service or food truck operations rather than dining rooms. Check how to order before you travel.

Tayta Latin Cuisine

Oklahoma City, OK

Tayta Latin Cuisine is a family-owned restaurant in downtown Oklahoma City serving South American, Central American, and Caribbean food, with a menu that runs roughly 80 percent Peruvian and 20 percent Caribbean. It was founded by chef Niel Zambrano, originally from Chiclayo, Peru, and his wife and co-owner Madeline, originally from Panama, who describe Tayta as a family passionate about the culinary arts and dishes that tell a story. The kitchen leans on the classics done properly: ceviche de pescado and ceviche mixto cured in lime with cancha and sweet potato, leche de tigre, anticuchos, jalea de mariscos, and empanadas both Peruvian and Venezuelan. Larger plates include lomo saltado, seco de carne, arroz con mariscos, pollo a la brasa, lechon asado, churrasco with chimichurri, and the Parrilla Tayta grilled platter built for two. Breakfast and brunch run on weekends with churrasco con huevo, pan con lechon, and Cuban lechon omelets, and there is a full coffee bar alongside cocktails. Weekends often bring live music, and the dining room has been known to turn into a dance floor. The restaurant also caters private parties, weddings, and corporate events, and validates parking in the garage next door. Ownership note: Tayta Latin Cuisine is listed as Latino-owned, family-owned, and immigrant-owned based on the owners' own description on the restaurant's website. These tags are self-identified by the business and have not yet been owner-confirmed through Inclusivity.org.

Restaurants & Food in Oklahoma City: questions people ask

How many restaurants are listed across the Oklahoma City metro?

Six right now, in Oklahoma City. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.

What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?

Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.

Do restaurants in Oklahoma City take reservations?

Many do, and plenty are walk-in only. Some kitchens here are takeout, catering or food-truck operations with no dining room, so check how each one takes orders before you go.

How can I ask about allergies or dietary needs?

Call ahead rather than asking at the table, and ask how the kitchen handles cross-contact, not just whether a dish contains an ingredient. Small kitchens are often very accommodating when they know in advance.

Is it free to be listed?

Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.

How do I suggest a restaurant that is missing?

Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.

Know a restaurant we're missing?

Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
