Salita's Founder & Owner
Salita's was established March 14, 1994 in Whitesboro Texas. Salita's was successful in Whitesboro but the owners, Mark and Markita Rawlings, had an opportunity to come back to their hometown and establish Salita's in Durant, OK. On August 9, 1994, we opened Salita's in Durant and have been setting high standards for our food and employees ever since.

Salitas is nationally acclaimed for our authentic Tex-Mex cuisine. We use only the freshest ingredients to prepare our made-from-scratch menu items. Feast on everything from our hand rolled enchiladas to our sizzling fajitas. We also serve American classics, desserts, soups, salads, and seafood with a Tex-Mex flare. Got a big appetite? We challenge you to finish our famous Mark’s Grande platter!

We have 60+ employees at Salita's, some of whom have been with us from day one! Our employees pride themselves in giving five star service in a family atmosphere. We greatly value our local customers as well as those that drive great distances just to dine at Salita’s. Check out our links to hear customer testimonials!

Our Saluter’s Sports Bar is the best place to watch the big game in the area. No matter where you sit, you can see the action up close on one of our 13 televisions. Get an even better view from our large projection screen. You can also enjoy competitive trivia and No Limit Texas Hold’em with our Buzztime Playmakers. If you get thirsty, try order one of our many Margaritas or chose a drink from our full bar.
