We were on a road trip from Nashville to several cities in Texas including Ft. Worth! My friend wanted to eat at Joe T. Garcia's but I couldn't after reading all the reviews about the long lines and sub par food.
So thankful to Yelp and all the reviews because we decided on going here and let's just say that my party of 4 was happy and stuffed at the end of our visit.
They have a small parking lot and we were able to snag a spot when another guest was leaving. We were quickly seated. Everyone was wearing mask until seated. The staff was attentive and took our drink orders. They didn't have horchata so we all ordered margaritas and a coke. They only have them on the rocks (no frozen, no problem). The margaritas were perfect, not too sweet with a nice salt rim.
We started off with queso flameado which is flamed asaderi cheese and chorizo. They served it with flour tortillas. This was an excellent dish to share and was a great way to prep us for our entrees. There isn't a lot of chorizo but we didn't mind.
Then for the entrees, we ordered beef fajitas for one, combo fajitas for two, and chicken tamales. Everything was served hot and fresh. We absolutely loved everything. Our chicken and beef was a little salty but other than that, super tasty! The fajitas came with onions and bell peppers. They served us several flour tortillas and corn tortillas with our fajitas. It also comes with guacamole, Pico de Gallo, retried beans, and rice. The portion was large for two and we took the rest home for later.
Everyone enjoyed their meals and margaritas. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we ordered. They forgot our shrimp but didn't charge us so we are good! You check out at the front when you're finished with your meal. They were awesome. The food, drinks, and service were top notch.
So happy to support a locally owned restaurant that had fantastic food offerings! Can't wait to go back and hope you'll go visit this award winning hole in the wall.
