11 Reasons Why El Azteca Is The Best Mexican Restaurant In Claremore
El Azteca

Ask any Claremore resident and they'll tell you Claremore, Oklahoma is notorious for two things: Trains and Mexican restaurants. Even though there's at least six or seven to choose from, El Azteca Mexican Restaurant and Cantina is by far the best! For many years I've been going to El Azteca; it was a staple in my diet during high school, and it continues to be my go-to restaurant now that I'm in college. I love El Azteca for many reasons, so let's talk about why El Azteca is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Claremore.

1. Friendly staff.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming. They may even throw in some queso or guacamole for free every now and then!

2. Three words: Chips and salsa.

Endless chips and the best salsa you've ever had. Don't agree it's the best? I'm nacho friend anymore!

3. Their prices are just right.

When you're a high school or struggling college student, you have to find food that's reasonably priced. Luckily, El Azteca has great food for even better prices. For as often as I go there, my wallet is extremely grateful!

4. Their queso is liquid gold.

If it wouldn't be frowned upon, I'd bypass the chips and drink the queso straight from the bowl. If my life was a romance novel, my motto would be: "Every kiss begins with queso."

5. The atmosphere is wonderfully authentic.

There's always soccer playing on the television, beautiful works of art on the walls, and salsa music playing on the radio. I don't understand a single word of Spanish, but I love it!

6. There's no judgment when you stuff your face with food.

Whether you're in a hurry or simply can't resist any longer, it's always acceptable to dig in as soon as the food arrives. Conversation abruptly ends and faces are stuffed.

7. Service is fast.

In high school, we had an hour long lunch every Friday, and it seemed like the entire school made a mad dash to El Azteca. We all knew we'd get great food at a reasonable price and still make it back in time for class. Sometimes there was even time to get stopped by a train!

8. Their margaritas are the perfect cure for a bad day.

Sometimes this señorita needs a margarita!

9. Their chicken and rice is the bomb.

The entire menu is amazing, but almost everyone I know loves the chicken and rice! It guacs my world.

10. They're open every day of the week.

On Sundays, I get to have a little bit of Jesus and a whole lot of queso. Maybe even a margarita or two. I love Jesus, but I drink a little.

11. Claremore loves it so much, they made another one: Los Azteca Mexican Restaurant and Cantina!

For obvious reasons El Azteca Mexican Restaurant and Cantina is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Claremore. They have something for everyone, and they simply can't be beat on service, prices, or food!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
