Installations: Seῆor Tequila

When you walk into the new Seῆor Tequila in south Tulsa, it’s like walking into a restaurant in sunny Mexico. The colors are bright and inviting, and you are whisked away to enjoy an authentic Mexican meal.

Owners Carlos and Elisha Atilano chose the Plaza del Sol Shopping Center at 101st and Mingo Road for their new restaurant because of the Mediterranean architecture. “The tile roof and stucco exterior accents the interior design of the restaurant,” says Mrs. Atilano. “We also enjoy the peaceful outdoor patio. The large water fountain creates a soothing, tropical backdrop for the outside dining area. On weekends, customers have a front-seat view of live entertainment on the outdoor stage.
