Marquez Bakery & Tortilla Factory

Hands down THE BEST PHOTOG EVERRRR!! After our morning live shots and shooting video/interviews for our story, Javi took us to Marquez Bakery Arlington ! First time! Have you been? He says it's iconic. 👀 The burritos were so well-seasoned, I didn't even need red or green sauce for flavor, it was so good by itself. Then he was like take some pastries for the hubby and kids 😭 I haven't had a Maranito since Gabriela Cadena gave me one in San Antonio 💖

Definitely not worth a meal.. sorry. Not authentic enough. The pasole we received was old and cooked the day before, the carne guisada meat was old.. no tortillas with the pasole. The chicharron did not taste good. Highly disappointed and not worth the 65.00 for 3 people. I felt robbed!

It’s only 0.4 miles, but it feels even closer because it’s a completely straight path compared to other places. We parked to watch the Rangers game and stopped for a quick coffee. The Coke and Fanta made with cane sugar were especially memorable.

Used to be one of my favorite places to buy Mexican bread. Over time they seem to have changed something. The bread as kept longer. The taste is different. It's not as fresh. Seems like it's kept somewhere all week. Just doesn't seem right. Used to be one of my favorite places to buy a Mexican sweetbread . Not sure what happened to this place. Definitely know the guy that checks you out used to be humble. Now he wears gold chains and talks down on you. Hope they can change for the better. Time will tell.

I have never had a dirtier menudo than this. The fat was just floating on top of the bowl, and it was full of oregano. The quality of this restaurant has just gone down. My husband food was disgusting as well. I don't know how you mess up eggs, bacon, potatoes, and bread, but Marquez has figured it out.

Definitely would recommend eating here. great food , Definitely always fresh...flour tortillas always a must..there variety in choice tacos are good...the restaurant is very clean...recommend the chicharron.. prices are FAIR... 8/10

I’ve passed by this place countless times and always wanted to give it a try. I finally went in and sampled the pecan pastry, pig cookie, Danish, and a large flaky cinnamon pastry. While desserts aren't usually my favorite, they were decent. However, the breakfast tacos are incredible! My friend picked up a sausage, egg, potato, and cheese taco along with a veggie one, and they were absolutely delicious!

Marquez Bakery catered the dessert table at our wedding. Every pastry was delicious, and my spread looked awesome. Sally was great to communicate with, and was upfront about pricing and other expectations.

Absolutely loved the food here. The staff were super friendly and kind. The place was well maintained and very clean. They come around very often to make sure you are doing okay and if you need anything. I had the menudo and the street tacos and it was very good. I also tried their coffee and conchas and it was very sweet and delicious. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area or before you go to a cowboys/rangers game.

We come for the Mexican pastries and from time to time the breakfast tacos when we have a large party in town. The eggs seemed bland today, but there were ample amounts of well seasoned meats. Except the bacon and egg, it has like two strips which is a fine portion. We get the brisket, asada, bacon, chorizo potato, with egg tacos, my favorite is bean & cheese. I like they sell and discount the tortillas that come out "ugly" instead of trashing them. Spacious with some seating for their larger menu items and they have cakes available. I've never had bad service here.

Come here often because food is really good but noticed today that they charged me a fee to use my credit card. No notification, nothing noted with a sign or placard. Nothing. So not cool. If you're going to charge me a fee you should at least be up front and honest about it, prob wouldn't have bothered me if I was notified at least. Too many other panaderias in our area not charging me to do business with them. Sorry won't be back, who wants to carry nasty germ covered cash around anymore? ‍

Love Marquez Bakery. Our go to for catered events too! Amazing staff and lots of choices for everyone.

Hands down delicious. Barbacoa not greasy, menudo tender to perfection! The bakery fresh! Recommend 100%

I had the opportunity to experience Marquez Bakery for lunch recently. The street tacos were well-seasoned and delicious. I also enjoyed the flavorful salsa on the side. I'll definitely be back.

Marquez Bakery provided the food for our board retreat and it was amazing. We had chicken, beef and vegetarian tacos plus pastries. The meat was seasoned excellently. The pastries. . . OMG the pastries. We couldn't stop eating them. They were fresh and flavorful. Our food was hot and simply amazing. To top it all off ordering was simple and their team was so great.

If you are going to the Globe Life Arena, stop by here and enjoy a quick and delicious breakfast.

Amazing breakfast burritos! Fast, clean, super friendly. Salsas were delicious, green salsa had more heat. Box of 10 is a fantastic value!

Tortillas don't taste or look homemade. Burrito was huge but taste was terrible. Oh.. and it was the wrong order.. wasn't busy at all... should have known better but was looking for a quick burrito.. definitely not worth $10! Also separate the menu.. the barbacoa "burrito" was actually a taco cooked in some weird sauce, and the steak and egg taco, not burrito was mainly fat! Forgot to take pics, because I just threw it away.

Needed tamales on Christmas Eve because my person cancelled while on my way to get mine. Swung in here on a hope and prayer they had some. Did not disappoint in any way. I was able to get as many as I needed, they were small in size but the masa meat combo was perfect. 10/10 will eat again.

Some great things about this place .. but one item not very good anymore.. this was the one place I bought Tamales .. the best .. couldn't even wait to get them home so would start eating in the truck... I bought some a few months ago.. did not even eat them.. horrible.. all maze .. one really had a smidge of pork.. I thought they just forgot one.. I gave them another chance yesterday.. little bit better than previous but still a mouth full of maze.. they have gone from best to worst in the tamale game. Sad.. There been salsa excellent

This is where to go for tamales. I have picked up my Christmas tamales from here several times and they're the STUFF. You've got to preorder them and then they have ladies just there to hand out tamales. They've got it organized by your name and pick up time, it is fast and efficient. The tamales themselves are great every time. I have seen some people complain about the ratio of meat to masa, but mine have always been very generous with the filling. Mmm...tamales.

Anytime we are in the Arlington area for a game we stop on at Marquez for breakfast. Bothe the tacos and menudo are very good . Pretty prompt service with a smile. It a quaint smaller place that seats about 40 or so people. Would recommend if ever in the vicinity

Over the years I have eaten here a few times, it has been a couple of years since the last time. On March 29th, I stopped in for lunch at 2.05 and there were no customers eating there, not one. This should have been a sign of bad food, and I sure see why, everything was cold, they microwaved the food to melt cheese, the meat was like leather, not eatable. Worse than anyplace that I have ever eaten. If the food was free, I would pass this place up. Worst of the worst

Ordered our Anniversary cake because they did our our wedding cake! Called on Wednesday and was told I had to go in person to order. Went in on Thursday to have it ready. Saturday morning went to pick up our cake and they completely messed up the cake!!!! There was a big pie of the icing missing and where the words was written was messed up. They way of fixing it was to slap some icing on it and smear it and leave the words like it was! I requested my money back!!!! I walked out to let my husband handle it. They told him they could take 20 off but could not fix it because they lady was gone for the day! I got my money back... they called me after I left and asked if I wanted it because they didn't want it but wanted me to pay the 40 deposit for it.... HELL NO KEEP IT!!!!!! Horrible service!!!!!!!!!

Cold Tamales, Square Tamales, no meat, Horrible don't spend you hard earned money. Horrible service

Make sure you have your military ID or proof of being a veteran. They offer a Military discount. Thanks Marquez Bakery!!!

Always great and so kind - breakfast tacos, bakery goods and ASADO (wow!)...everything is terrific! 10+ years going there and loving it...love these guys.

I've moved here from CA, and I've been looking for places to eat good Mexican food. The Pan de Dulce is Amazing here and if that's what I was reviewing I'd keep going on but it's not. Today I came into to try their burrito. In the Menu I found La Karlita. All of this burrito goodness in one plate is Wild. First bite and now I get why this place is always full at noon and breakfast. If you don't hurry you won't be served for a while. Come Patronage this place for some of the best Mexican Baked goods and Food.

Overall, great establishment! Ohh, but the food is slacka-lacken. Had a cold scoop of mash potatoes in my breakfast burrito. On a scale from 1- chicken experience sweet tea, I'd rate there's as -6 # brown.juice They had nice shirt's tho!! And an ABUNDANCE of eggs and sweet bread! ------------------------- I recommend skillet grill down the street

Love this place for breakfast or lunch ! The bakery selection is amazing as well. Best damn place in Arlington . A must have !

This used to be one of my favorite places but they have really gone down hill. Tamales for Christmas . Horrible. We got them all the time. This year we got just a dozen and they were the worst I've ever had. Bakery was any better . Pecan roll was tough.Empanadas were hit and miss pumpkin good, strawberry ok ,caramel yuck. Service wasn't very good for breakfast . We were waiting a long time I remember it being a little quicker.Tacos were decent . Menudo good but add-ins cilantro was black and slimy,onions were huge chunks no lemon or lime offered. So disappointed

Love my sweet bread!!! My favorite is the white concha. This place is always clean with friendly staff. They have a large assortment of sweet breads. The breads always taste fresh. I have never been disappointed when I come here. When in the area make sure to give it a try!

This review is regarding the Pork Tamales. I would give a zero, if it was a choice. Buy them only if you want steamed masa, no meat at all inside. I bought 2 dzn, my sister loves tamales, she told me they are awful. I had to agree, they use to be delicious with some meat. I know COVID has taken a toll on businesses, but do not sell them if there is no meat. False advertising to say pork and there is none inside. I would live my money back!

I really-really enjoy this place! The food is always good, the place is Spotless (which is huge for Me) when I say clean? I mean the aluminum or chrome surfaces actually Shine! The pastries are why I started coming here 13 yrs ago-they are awesome and remind me of where I grew up in Kansas- a little area called Armordale where there were several Mexican restaurants that sold the cookies/pastries..... i digress I started going for the cookies but the burritos and tamales keep me coming back! I was craving tamales tonite - and since its the one Mex food I-have yet to learn to make- (yes, I'm bragging on my cooking skills) I picked up a dozen along with cookies/pastries for dessert (not many-7-8)‍ The prices are Very reasonable the people are Always smiling, helpful and friendly. If you are in Arlington,Tx or surrounding areas Please drop in and taste the best (In my opinion) authentic Mexican food around! I gave 5 stars bcoz-I love the place! I am sitting here on my sofa in a tamale coma-when I recover I'll have a pastry.... or two! Hey! Don't Judge! Get yourself to Marquez on Division St in Arlington Tx Fyi-fir u meat lovers! I mentioned to the cashier that last time i purchased tamales there was not enuf meat in them-she told me next time call to order. Hmmmm...Why? shouldn't they just make them all the same way? ... so, I will comply - next time maybe I'll call first. But these were Mmmm Mmmm Good!!

Date Visited: August 15, 2018 for lunch. I ordered the chicken enchiladas. They tasted fine, covered in a brown sauce (not what I typically expect on chicken enchiladas, usually sour cream sauce, verde, green). My associate ordered the tamales, which he stated were not bad. Both dishes came with rice and beans. We both experienced extreme gastro-intestinal issues that evening through the next day. I missed the next day of work it was so bad. This is the first time in my life I've missed work due to this type of illness. I also purchased several baked goods, which I took home to my family. They were all very good, and nobody else in my family experienced any illness. Likely there was a contamination in the beans or "brown sauce". I will never visit this business again. This is unfortunate as the service was very good. If you want a pastry, you are probably going to be OK. Avoid the cooked meals.

I waited over 45 minutes for 4 burritos and they messed up many times on my order!! The burritos were good but the service was terrible! And I also paid 30$ for 4 burritos so in my opinion it's over priced and it took very long for no reason.

Very good Breakfast Burritos. Very, very clean place. Close to AT&T stadium and Globe Life Ballpark

I've eaten here numerous times, generally for breakfast. I order huevos con chorizo and they were especially good today because the plate was hot so the meal didn't get cold before I could finish. But I brought home a dozen pork tamales, had three for dinner and there was seriously hardly a shred of pork in any of them! They weren't expensive but I would have gladly paid more to get a decent amount of filling. Looks like I'll have to find another place to order my Christmas tamales!

I love their pan dulce and pastries! It's my go to place when I'm in the mood conchas, empanadas, and gingerbread. Their variety is excellent!

My wife and I stopped by for breakfast this morning. I had always heard wonderful things about the restaurant but had never stopped previously. Our breakfast was awesome. I had the Huevos rancheros and my wife had one of the breakfast burritos. Both of our dishes were wonderful. We also picked up some pastries to enjoy tomorrow morning with coffee before church. We can't wait to stop by the restaurant again to try more of the traditional Tex Mex dishes.

I was passing by with my family on a Sunday morning and for some reason I got immediately excited thinking "oh Mexican food! Heck yeah!" I was sooooo disappointed I ordered tortilla soup which had a heavy tomato base and had a really strange flavor. I also ordered 3 tacos which were very greasy (not the good kind of finger licking greasy). I would go back for the menudo and only the menudo

Don't waste your money on the tamales. They are almost all masa. Extremely disappointed.

I CANNOT believe this place only has 3 stars! I'm really picky about my Mexican food and have really been disappointed with the options since I moved to DFW but this place is one of my few faves!! It's like eating at my Mexican friend's Mom's house in Odessa! The ranchero sauce is THE BEST. I get the Huevos Rancheros (with a side of bacon) every time. I can't duplicate the ranchero sauce at home so I usually buy a pint when I visit. SOOOOOO good! Keep it up, Marquez fam.... and PLEASE open a location in Fort Worth!!

Very disappointing breakfast, in the past this place was always a favorite breakfast spot. The food is down in quality and prices are up!! I don't mind paying for good quality (hot) breakfast but, in this case my breakfast was bland and cold!!! The service was HORRIBLE!!!! I sent back my tortillas to be heated up!! A good 7min later they were brought them out and they were burned!!

A friend brought a couple dozen tamales to a pot luck lunch and they were out of this world! Now, I love tamales, and have had some truly amazing ones. Marquez Bakery was up there. The trays were empty within minutes, too. Marquez Bakery was recently on Groupon. I maxed out on it...guess what I'm getting...

Well this is a decent little place. The positives are that the food is good, the place is clean and friendly staff. They have a delicious sauce which compliments all of their menu selection. It is also reasonably priced. Now for the negs....This is a bakery and it is rather tasteless. I have had the conchas (shells looking bread), Cinnamon rolls, cookies, sweet empanadas....all were tasteless to just meh....I have been here many times and just gave up on the sweet bread.

I've been here a couple of times and was so impressed! The people are so friendly and very knowledgeable. It's such a great place to bring kids especially because they make everything in house and have an extensive pastry selection, all at such low prices. Their street tacos are fabulous and the tortillas are made fresh in the attached factory. They have a section of tortillas they are selling for clearance because they are not perfect. They have delicious wedding cake cookies and tres leches cakes. Try them out, you won't regret it!

We were so excited to try out this establishment, but left w/ a let down. I ordered the breakfast special which was a cup of menudo, a taco, & a tamale. My husband ordered the barbacoa plate w/flour tortillas. My plate arrived 1st w/ a cold non-flavored pork tamale & a cold corn tortilla. My menudo falto sabor tambien & a cold barbacoa taco....ugh! Then my husband's plate arrived & his tortillas were cold as well....such a let down. We decided to take pan dulce to go which turned out okay...just okay. We spent over $40 which wasn't worth it. We won't visit this place again. :-(

This post is for Restaurant side and not the Bakery. I normally don't do post of any kind even if it is the greatest meal I ever had. This used to be my go to place for breakfast tacos by the box. Not any more. I keeped hoping it would return to its former glory of best tacos. I'm afraid this place has hit rock bottom serving flavorless food. I just ordered the Barbacoa and eggs plate. I got two eggs floating in barbacoa grease. The Barbacoa was cold and flavorless. The beans, also surrounded by grease, even colder and absolutely no flavor. The meal was so bad after two bites I just pushed it away and walked out. I will not be back. I given them too many, "One more trys."

Ironically enough, the worst thing about this place was the tortillas. They were thin and hard and pretty much poisoned my honey against the place. I have to wonder about people who said the tortillas were great, either that or they were having a VERY bad tortilla day. Tortillas not withstanding, I enjoyed my actual meal. I ordered the migas, which were good, as were the beans that came with them. We picked up a bunch of pastries for a party we were hosting later that day, a couple each of several kinds, and people seemed to enjoy them. The prices are very good. I would like to try them at lunch sometime and see how their tamales are.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I went in there for the first time on a Monday morning and the place was empty the staff in there saw us but did not even acknowledged us at all. I ordered migas and the tortillas were soft and the scrambled eggs under cooked. We got some stuff from the bakery side and they have absolutely no prices posted anywhere, we did see a 3x $1 sticker on the glass and assumed that was the price, go up to the register and we were told sweet bread has different prices we still paid for what we already had on our trays. The service was terrible since we walked in the door all the way until we walked out. We will definitely never go back here! Zero customer service and the food is way below average. Go in here at your own risk!!!

Good tamales. The sweet bread has been hard lately , so I am not sure what is going on with that , but overall the food is good and the customer service is good.

Love this place. I've ordered food, cake slices and whole cakes from them and everything is great. Everyone is welcoming making it a great place to stop in. Whole custom cake prices are excellent and taste great. My nephew gets a cake from here every bday.

DO NOT waste your money on the tamales. Back in the day they were really good, when they came in the foil tin with the paper top, now the box is fancier and the food inside SUCKS! The tamales are all masa, and maybe a couple of shreds of pork, it is basically eating a seasoned masa with a shred of pork. I was very disappointed. I will never be back! What sucks is they used to be awesome, specially when they were on Abrams street.

The food and service has really went downhill in the last 2 years. I ordered a combo meal with cheese enchiladas a tamale and crispy chicken taco and a kid enchilada meal to-go..the cheese was not only not melted butter still cold and tortillas were hard with virtually no sauce on enchiladas..crunchy taco soggy and rice and beans were bland. I waited over 20 mins with not one order ahead of me.The next day they replaced the meals and made the wrong meal entirely again for kids meal and the combo was not any better other than cheese slightly melted. They didn't include any salsa or anything and we're very distracted and not customer oriented. Another lady came to pick up an order of a couple dozen tamales she had called in that morning and they didn't have any ready for her nor even offered her any compensation or to prepare them..used to love this place..pick up the ball marquez

I would liken the ghetto Mexican eateries in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to picking any song off of a NOW! album. They are most of the time tolerable, there are some that just strike you as irresistible, and a handful that are just go-to spots--ones that you never turn away from, regardless of how crappy the quality is. Marquez Bakery and Tortilla Factory falls into the category of irresistible. Not in the same sphere of being absolutely awesome, if purely for gaudy and outrageous reasons. Here, these aspects revolve around cheese, minimal pricing, and lots of sass and spice. Just like those hits that you want to belt on road trips. Here, they actually make hilariously humorous t-shirts and give some kicked-up salsa. I went with the Mega Nachos, and how in the world can you not eat something that has the word Mega in it or resist anything in existence so called "mega"? Songs, included. This mound of fat on carbohydrates on fats adorned with fat and carbohydrates finished with fat and protein boasted a pound of cheese, a crazy amount of legumes, many pickled jalapeno medallions, a whooping scoop o' mashed avocado mixed with tomato, and much ground beef and sour cream. Oh and chopped tomato. MBTF (sounds like some vulgar, extremely crude acronym for something) is one top-notch Mexican joints in an area of the US so saturated with mediocrity in the way of Tex-Mex grub. Nothing is super authentic, but how can you go wrong with a days worth of calories for $7?
