“love good ol Don Juan's Tex Mex”

“Holy Bacon Brisket! This restaurant is worth the drive from Oklahoma, much less DFW. We got the 3 meat plate with Elote mexican corn, tater salad and an extra side of beans and rice. 2 drinks (tea and soda) and the bill was $54, but enough for 2 middle of the road middle-agers and we had leftovers, so Im not complaining at all. The brisket is top 3 or 4 this Texas girl has had in her life, and the sausage might be #1 with a jalepeno green flavor but little heat, which I like. The bacon brisket was tender and perfectly seasoned. The charro beans and rice had an elusive flavor profile that SLAPPED. Nothing here tastes like your daddy's bbq, but has a subtle twist that makes it unique. DO NOT MISS this place!”

“You can keep your Franklin's and all those places where people line up for? hours. lol. This here is absolutely the best brisket any where and the sides are all fantastic. So good!”

“This was our first time trying this place and we will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend the salmon risotto dish & the voodoo pasta!!”

“Good food and good folks!”

“Kocoroko Munchies is a hidden gem in Mabank!
Their Quesabirrias are out of this world — juicy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The aguas frescas are always fresh and fruity, and the snacks are super creative (don't skip the sopapilla chips with ice cream!).
The team is always friendly and fast, and you can tell they put so much love into what they do. Whether you're grabbing lunch, a sweet treat, or just something different, this is the spot.
Support local — you won’t regret it!”

“This place is a hidden gem! The Tsunami Roll was delicious & so was the hibachi..I can’t wait to go back!”

“I’ve been here two days in a row had the brisket spud the first day it was huge and full of brisket butter cheese and sour cream. The next day I tried the chicken fry steak with jalapeño gravy it was amazing super sized and covered! I plan on trying the whole menu:)”

“The chicken shawarma is AMAZING! As good or better than a Lebanese place I went to in Detroit. I asked where he learned to make it like that. He said Germany. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. Especially if you like spicy food. If you hate spicy, then maybe not. My kids got angus burgers with cheese and loved them. The hot dogs were popular with people in line. You may have to wait a bit at peak times, but well worth it. It’s parked in front of lumber at Lowe’s.”

“Do they allow you to fish there”
