Tex-Mex Restaurants near Watauga

“The steak tacos were fantastic and the flavors really stood out. I was also thrilled that they let me switch the refried beans for a side salad. You can see it in one of my photos and it turned out to be far from an ordinary salad. The Caesar dressing was unbelievably good and I would go back just for that. Our server was exceptional and made the entire visit even better.“

“They stay open later for us night owls“

“The food was fair and the restaurant was clean. The bathroom smelled SO BAD like sewer. I thought I was gonna puke from the smell. The service was S-L-O-W. There was ground meat mixed in the beans, like it was stuck to the utensil or had been dropped into the service container which nearly sent my texture sensitive eater over the edge. There are so few of these restaurants anymore I hate to leave an actual truthful review.“

“Muy buen servicio ambiente agradable“

“The food and ambience is made with true Tex-mex spirit! Food is delicious, ambience and decor is really nice, the bar area looks like a jewel there! 👌 Sangria Swirl is top notch, house made chips are so fresh, relenos and chili enchiladas are the best!“

“Awesome service Great food!“

“This was a Tex Mex dream come true. I tried a couple of Tex Mex places while visiting Texas but Chuy's took the crown. I got the King's Comida platter which featured 3 enchiladas dressed in different salsas as well as a taco on the side. The server, Trinity, was highly professional and friendly. She kept the chips and dip coming to our pleasure. The items were huge as advertised as well so it was a very filling meal. I really liked the decorations especially the artificial trees. The restaurant is large with lots and lots of seating.“

“Delicious food and great attention from Aaron, you want him to take your order.“

“We have been eating at la Isla for 30 years. Mainly the Park Row and Cooper location and when they moved to Pantene we followed them there. We have sampled the menu widely but I am centered on the tostada de Ceviche for a start. Then the sour cream chicken enchilada plate. We love the rice and beans and I love to put some of the delicious salsa on them. My wife usually gets either the fajitas or the tacos Al carbon. The chips and salsa are great too. Moderately priced as well. Give them a try.“

“We were there during the Jonas Brothers concert so it was extremely busy. We added ourselves to the wait list 30 minutes before we arrived and still had to wait 30 minutes. Like I said they were busy. The jalapeno creamy dip is to die for. I don't like jalapenos but I love this. The burrito bowl was large and very taste. Will definitely return.“

“Service is great! Food is great! Salsa….amazing!!!“

“Food was good quality and lots of it. We had standard fare nachos and tacos, but have had their fajitas and enchiladas all of which are above average Tex-Mex offerings. I like this place for the atmosphere and the outdoor seating options. I also like their margaritas and salsas. They also have gf options.“

“Awesome food and margaritas! We’ll be back!“

“The food is absolutely delicious!!!“

“This place is good!!!!! We will definitely be back.“

“LOVE the food authentic Mexican cuisine Great portions, this place is beautiful; love the decor and is super clean, the service is super friendly great attention. Definitely coming back soon They have live music on Saturday we celebrated my husband birthday and everyone had a blast.“

“Other than the front desk guy that checks you in with the super long hair, everyone in the restaurant was super friendly, smiling, and polite and courteous. The concierge at the front desk was super weird and oddly enough had a bad “tough guy” attitude for somebody with a man.🤷🏽‍♀️“

“Rachel was fantastic!! Super attentive and patient with modifications made. Her level of attention and care made us feel taken care of!! The food was so good!! Loved the veggie quesadilla and the fiesta fajita. Very flavorful, piping hot and did I mention yummy. This was our first time and we can’t wait to come back. Wonderful service made everything even better!! And the frozen watermelon margarita… was EVERYTHING!!“

“Super quality food. Great service! It was a busy night, so we had to wait 30 min approx. But the time went fast. The crowd made the restaurant noisier than usual but still at a level we could converse without raising voices.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, close parking and easy to manuever“

“My boyfriend and I come here all of the time. The food is always great. Tonight Victoria was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing! Everything you could want in a server. She was attentive and so friendly. I will be requesting her!!! She deserves a raise.“

“My husband and I had lunch here today and were so.impressed with the food quality. It wasn't our first visit but age and illness kept us at home for the last year! Today we were delighted we had returned. We plan to be regular weekly customers now!“

“This place is a little gem!! Its very unassuming, with an unexpected location, but don't let that fool you. Cardona's is serving up fresh, homemade Tex-Mex that rivals all other restaurants in the area. The chips and salsa are delicious, as was the burrito bowl situation I had. You can even purchase homemade chips to-go, which is super cool. As a bonus, the service is incredibly fast, so its a great place to have lunch.“

“Rusty Taco is one of our favorites for date night. Super friendly staff and great food. Plus you get a punch card for free tacos. The menu is wide so there is something for everyone. Breakfast to Philly steak to fish and everything in between. They also have the juiciest limes ever. There limes are the juiciest, but lately they have been a bit dry, it’s okay though things happen.“

“I love everything about them. Now with my child working there, they will forever hold my business! They are always looking out for her, working with her, teaching, and they pay fair. There is no better place for your family than with the Maria Cucas family whether it’s for drinks, celebrations, meals, or employment they earn 10 stars all day. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“🥰👍The Mexican Inn Café – As a recent homeowner in the Fairmount Historical district of Fort Worth, Texas and needing a caterer for a Birthday celebration I searched yelp* with way too many choices. After much research and difficult pricing decision to make I took a deeper dive into the website for the Mexican Inn Café. What I found was lots of happy folks with both food and the restaurant. Next step was asking around for personal experience and found again lots of happy folks. Last step was a personal visit to check out the food. Well, that was a pleasant surprise for a restaurant that has been there for 60 + years – great food – great service and impressive service personal. Making the arrangements for the catering service was easy and working with Annette Rosas far exceeded my expectations. On the day of the birthday party the food arrived on time and their set-up service was excellent. OH, those yummy food smells. Everything looked delicious, was well prepared and the display was a treat to the eye. In addition - all was an enormous success from the party goers’ praises … except for there being little left over for me to enjoy the next day>LOL. I would like to recommend the Mexican Inn Café 8th Street in Fort Worth and Annette Rosas to anyone in need of catering services or an excellent place to eat. Thank you Annette for making my chose an excellent one – You are Amazing.“

“Great food, great service! When a server remembers what you normally get, that is more than service, that is making you feel like OTB family. Managers always checking on things and making sure things are taken care of.“
