“This restaurant is extremely underrated and I highly recommend checking it out. Family owned is always the best and this family is so friendly to their guests and takes the time to care for each and every one of them while also serving some really amazing food you can only find here. Pricing is great and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out, date, or event with friends. Hope to see this place grow with more customers it's super great“

“The food is consistently delicious, but the best part of the experience is the outstanding service. The staff here makes you feel like they actually appreciate you coming in to dine with them. We've been lucky to have Simara be our server and she is fantastic! She remembers what you normally order but also has great suggestions on other great food options. We always look forward to our Friday dates at this location :)“

“We went for Easter brunch this morning. Great atmosphere and service. Especially I have a gluten issue and the buffet are not clearly marked. So when I asked about it, the manager made fresh gluten free enchiladas and taco for me! Did I mention the mimosa? You get two with the buffet? We definitely will go back!“

“My wife, my daughter, and myself walked into an empty restaurant. I thought to myself 'this does not bode well'. We were directed to a counter to place our order and we ordered the Tamale Pie with mild pork, the Tommy Bowl with habanero pork and a Chicken Quesadillas. We also got chips with salsa and queso on the side. I have rarely seen my wife react to food in a dramatic way, but after one bite of the Tamale Pie, her eyes got wide, she leaned back in her chair and both arms were raised like Tommy himself had scored a touchdown and she was the ref. Speaking of Tommy, he came out and personally greeted us, which was really nice, he seems like a great guy. The quesadilla and Tommy Bowl were both amazing, and frankly my daughter and I couldn't finish because we just got so full. The queso was some of the best I've ever tased as well. I don't have a great point of reference for this, as I've only had Queso from Chipotle, but Tommy's Queso was hands down significantly superior. They also have a little market with salsa and hot sauces for sale. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Lively place on a Saturday night! Great music vibrant atmosphere. Really enjoyed it. The food was good and the staff were all super friendly. The table salsa was actually really good and not bland. The chips are almost buttery they're so good. The shrimp brochette was delicious. Overall a really great experience and some place to go to soon.“

“This is not your usual taco place! If you want a different take on familiar flavors, then this will be right up your alley. I'm a fan of the chips and queso and like the pork carnitas, the democrat, and their taco of the month, the vagabond. They're sold individually and one taco can be a meal all on its own. It can accommodate gluten free needs, but it can be hit or miss for me if I have a reaction after eating here. So, proceed with caution if you're celiac. My son is a fan of the trailer park trashy (NOT GF) and the hillbilly queso.“

“I'm a little ways away from Marty B's but it was worth the drive to try it out. The parking is on gravel but there's a large area for it. I went for lunch so there wasn't any live music but the outdoor area had plenty of seating. I liked that there was both indoors and outdoors. The food was good. I can appreciate that they give you an option on lean of a little fatties slice of brisket as well. The jalapeño goes great on top of the meats. The sides were a little cold but nothing to complain about or leave a bad review. The sides are def not from KFC. The ambiance is nice. I'd drive the extra time to eat here.“

“Overall this was a great lunch experience. Quick service a large menu of varying options at reasonable pricing.Queso was good. Our party had a bunch of different entrees that everyone enjoyed.No room for dessert, but the menu was good.Parking: Plenty of parking.“

“First time to order carry out from Fajita Pete’s in Flower Mound. The service was stellar amd the gentleman who carried out our order was so nice! We ordered beef and chicken fajitas and all of the fixings. Everything was delicious and we will be adding them to our rotation for takeout!“

“I've been a fan of this location since our first visit. We always sit at the bar, and Taylor is an awesome bartender. The food is always fresh and ready very quickly. The Democrat taco is our go-to, and the street corn is also very good. Can't beat the Queso here, love this place, and we will definitely be regulars. Thanks for the great food and drink!“

“The experience and our servers Maria and Marco were top notch the food was so delicious and it didn’t took long for it to come out everything was so fresh. Our servers were really attentive and friendly and making sure we were good. Would definitely go back again.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fuzzy’s, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly by the Kaitlyn, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.Parking: Plenty of parking“

“"My husband and I used to frequent Gloria’s Latin Cuisine in Colleyville and loved it, so we decided to try the Southlake location. We went on a Saturday night and, as expected, there was a long wait due to the no reservations policy on weekends (reservations are only accepted Monday to Thursday). If you have a large group and plan to visit on a weekend, arrive early to secure a table. The food and drinks were amazing, and the prices were reasonable compared to other restaurants in Southlake. The ambiance was inviting, although parking near the restaurant was difficult; however, there was plenty of parking just a two-minute walk away near the REI store. We ordered the tostadas and aquachile verde both of which tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch, and they also offer a gluten-free menu."Dietary restrictions: They have a separate gluten free menu“

“Don’t let looks fool you. It only seats 16 people inside, but they have a patio and the food is AMAZING for an unbelievable price. Cheaper than fast food and you get a huge helping of delicious fare. Most folks order to go, but there’s also a market next door where you can buy their authentic creations.“

“Amy was amazing, every time I go she makes sure that she recommends the BEST drinks and gives me the BEST service I’ve had in a while. Enjoy coming in here and definitely love recommending this restaurant and her service to family/friends! Will be back for sure.“

“Came to mi cocina for a girls night and let me tell you if you're visiting the DFW area, this place is a must !!! We sat at the bar with Hector and he provided great customer service and the handmade margaritas were on point. Will definitely come again and I suggest sitting at the bar with hector for good food, drinks and a great time.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Maria Del Mar, a hidden gem tucked away in Roanoke, Texas, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment my wife and I walked through the door, we were greeted with warm smiles and hospitality that made us feel right at home. One of the standout aspects of Maria Del Mar is the exceptional service provided by Mario and his team. Their friendly and attentive approach added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. It's evident that they are passionate about what they do, and it truly reflects in the overall dining experience. One insider tip that I highly recommend: be sure to ask for their off-menu delights - the Habanero Sauce, Molcajete Salsa, and Toreado's. These hidden gems are not advertised, but they are absolutely worth trying. The Habanero Sauce packs a punch of flavor and heat, while the Molcajete Salsa adds a fresh, authentic touch to your meal. Toreado's, with its rich and smoky flavor, is another must-try. What sets Maria Del Mar apart from the typical Tex-Mex establishments is its commitment to freshness. The ingredients used in their dishes are clearly of high quality, and you can taste the difference in every bite. It's a refreshing departure from the ordinary Tex-Mex fare, and it's evident that the chefs take pride in crafting each dish with care. The margaritas and the incredible refried black beans at Maria Del Mar! These are two more reasons why this restaurant stands out. The margaritas at Maria Del Mar are nothing short of amazing. Whether you prefer them on the rocks or blended, they have the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. Sipping on one of their margaritas adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your meal, making it a true fiesta for your taste buds. And let's not forget about the refried black beans. They are a hidden treasure in themselves. Creamy, flavorful, and with a delightful hint of smokiness, these beans are a must-try side dish. They perfectly complement the main dishes and add a richness that elevates your dining experience to another level. In conclusion, Maria Del Mar is a hidden treasure in Roanoke, Texas, offering a dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary. With welcoming hospitality, off-menu delights, and a dedication to fresh, flavorful cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to savor something special in the Tex-Mex scene. My wife and I will undoubtedly be returning to Maria Del Mar to explore more of their culinary delights and enjoy the warm atmosphere created by Mario and his team.“

“I understand all the great reviews!! The food was amazing--brisket tacos, tortilla soup, brisket enchiladas and all the different hot sauces they brought us to sample all tasted so very good; as did the great margarita!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. They definitely set the atmosphere for a very pleasant dinner. Already planning our next visit and what we want to try next.“

“If you have not tried this place you are definitely missing out. Tried for the first time today and loved everything we ordered. Tex mex with a Laredo twist, but taste homemade and with love. From the margaritas to dessert this place hit all points. Don’t sleep on this restaurant. We will be back for sure! The service was amazing even the owner was on the floor and not hidden.“

“FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: great Tex Mex food with two locations- one in Southlake and one in Dallas! THE VIBE: I felt like this place was pretty casual and fancy at the the same time. It's in Southlake Town Square so maybe dressing up would be okay? It's a western/country vibe place. Patio seating is available. PRICE: $45 + $10 tip WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 9/10 - Another Tex Mex restaurant to add to your list! I swear Southlake Town Square has great dinner places you really can't go wrong with! - These fish tacos were humongous. I could only finish 2 of them but wow it was so good. It definitely needed some hotter salsa/sauce or hot sauce tho I'll say. I loved the freshness of coleslaw tho. Fish was fried to perfection and not oily at all. - My mom's chicken fajitas were a great portion too. The thing that makes this restaurant stand out from other Mexican restaurants are their homemade flour and corn tortillas. The flour tortillas are SUPER soft and large. They are thin as well I hate overly thick flour tortillas tbh. Literally the tortillas will have you drooling. - Only thing I didn't like were the chips and salsa. The salsa was extremely salty with no flavor. - You don't need a reservation on a weekend night but it's still pretty busy!“

“Party of 5, one child. We thought everything was just great. Very quick to be seated, however we didn't want to be the first table in the front entrance so we asked to be moved and were so very quickly to a great table. Our waitress was wonderful, very quick and attentive. Margaritas and other drinks were served MUCH quicker than at most places. Chips, salsa, appetizers came just a quickly. Food was really good. Chili Rellenos, enchiladas, Flautas, all came quickly, were hot and fresh. We had no complaints about anything at all. The Flan was great, kids enjoyed their sopapillas as well.“

“We come almost weekly and it is not only about the food, but the wonderful service by Chazz and Cody at the bar. Thank you for making this one of our favorite spots. Great food. Great atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten-free menu and do well to cater to GF needs.“

“Waitress-worthy service at a fast-food restaurant?! Yes!! Drew helped me out of a jam today when I miscounted orders for our office and needed to go back. She made sure I got that Airstream salad quick fast and in a hurry! and even checked for utensils. The food here at the Southlake store is really good and the service is even better. Thank you for making my day!!“

“Raul gave us beyond excellent service as a manager. He turned the heaters outside for us and he continued to check on us and brought my baby out some milk with warm water in the pitcher just above and beyond what I asked for. They gave extra meat to our friend who asked for more with a friendly attitude. Danielle was our server she was friendly and prompt to serve all of our needs and anything extra we asked for. We cannot thank the staff more for our great experience with a night out with friends. Food is always excellent thank you kitchen staff. Danielle and Raul were awesome.“

“Sorry if I butcher her name, Yaya. Excellent service, excellent food. She greeted me with a fun and friendly energy. Took my order down and was quick and attentive. A Beautiful smile. Recommended the shrimp quesadilla which was excellent. Awesome experience! Will come back soon!“

“Had Fajita Pete’s for the first time at a party on Saturday and ordered it for Sunday night dinner. That’s how good this place is. We did the beef and chicken fajitas for 4 with a side of queso, which is probably one of the best ones I’ve had. All of the components of the fajitas are good, the flour tortillas and the guacamole are standouts. Best fajitas in Colleyville.“

“Mena's is our go-to place for great TexMex. Service is always great, and despite being busy, our food usually comes quickly. I would have given 5 stars this time, but they have changed their chips. They have always been thin and crispy. This time, they were much thicker. We ordered Pollo con salsa, beef enchiladas, and the chicken flautas. They have the absolute best sour cream sauce! If you have an option when selecting a sauce for your entre... get the sour cream!“

“Tom Collins is now there previously from salt grass with Bar tenders Tim, Will, and Kevin. Ok best enchiladas especially the Crab and Shrimp. Awesome service that is why we followed him to this place. We have known him for more than 6 years! The food was very good!“

“I totally forgot to take a picture of our food.It was our first visit, and there was a bit of a wait, but it wasn't bad at all. We stopped in for lunch and must say that it was a great last-minute choice.It was the first time that I had received Beans with our Chips and Salsa ?. They were good.I had the Crab stuffed Shrimp with Refried Beans and Rice, and my husband had the Combo Fajitas. The portions were good and the food was hot when it arrived at the table.I would have liked a little more seasonings in the cheese sauce that covered my dish, but it was good as it was...We will be back to explore more dishes...“

“Really good service. Food was meh. Not bad, but not as good as most. Inside dining was loud. Maybe I'm just a curmudgeonly old man, but the kids seemed to have a good time. The service really was above average. Ya know what? Great service! Upgrading to 4 stars.“

“Mid March 2024Cristina's Fine Mexican Food, Flower Mound, TX.A great place for everyone to enjoy wonderful food.Recommend Chicken Taco Fajita plate, and a side dish tamale with sauce. That said, you will be full but order a dessert to take home.Family Restaurant in days will be celebrating 35 years. ?“

“the food is good the interior is fine the pickup is amazing the fajitas are the best fajitas in town i made a pizza using the tortilla with the steak mixed with the chicken and salsa. the queso and chips are good as the chips have the perfect chip to salt ratio. the cashier named christon was helpful“

“Two of my family members specifically asked for the baked potato soup. Which is normally pretty good according to them. They both asked for it to be hot. (I thought that was an odd request for soup) guess what? It was barely warm. The cheese on top would not even melt.“

“Great food and great service! We really enjoyed the chips and salsa. Thea fajitas were excellent! It was nice and quiet and a great place for our family to visit. We didn't notice before we went that they served canned drinks, so if that's something that bothers you, just be aware.“

“This was my husband and I's first time dinin' at Rusty Taco. Not only did they take us in last minute and super attentive but the tacos are EVERYTHING. We ordered #2 #4 #5 #8 x2 with the chips guac and queso 2 ice cold tap beers on the side... heaven in my mouth and belly. I took a bite of the #2 and got chill bumps, I told my husband babe, you haven't given me chill bumps like that in a bit ?lol. 1000% comin' back!“

“Great Tex-Mex food. Seasoned well and the portions are huge. Can definitely share a plate if you are watching how much you consume. Food came out really fast and it was all hot for a table of 10. The entire team worked together and the camaraderie was like a well oiled machine. Great job. Would recommend and will be back. Our server was also amazing, so sorry I forgot his name!“

“My husband and I stopped in here one night while visiting from out of town. We were immediately seated and had a server who was very friendly and knowledgeable. The entire staff was amazing. The owners even came over and introduced themselves and made us feel right at home. The steak fajitas I had were mouth watering. I’ve never had steak in a fajita this tender. It seriously melted in your mouth. Very impressive! The queso, margaritas, churros…. Everything was fantastic. I wish we didn’t have to go back home the next day because we would have gone back for more. Definitely worth the stop if you’re in the Fort Worth area!“

“First time eating at Rosa's cafe. My husband and I were passing by and smelled something fantastic. We looked around and my husband said it must be Rosa's cafe. We went and I ordered the taco salad with beef and in my opinion it was delicious. Very flavorful. I had refried beans in mine which I don't usually care for but theirs were good and I enjoyed them in my salad. My husband just ordered half a pound of chicken and I tasted and it was good. Very well seasoned. So I will be going back to try other dishes from the menu.“

“Seated immediately though there wasn’t a crowd.Food was excellent.Server barely spoke or understood English.Manager just walked the floor patrolling rather than assisting with anything, like walking past our booth several times & not grabbing the ticket folder to process payment.“

“You know when you go to eat and all of the ingredients are fresh and quality and delicious? This place was just that. Have you ever wanted a burrito but your friend wants a gyro? Have you ever wanted carne asada fries, but your mom is craving some Greek salad and hummus? This place has everything, all in a little 7-11. Restaurant quality. Salad was FRESH as heck! Better than many sit down restaurants. And it was topped with taziki dressing and olive oil. ??‍? ?“

“Don't let the convenience store location keep you away. This Taco Casa location may have a small dining area, but it's clean, the people are friendly, the kitchen is fast, and the food is as good as any other location. I enjoyed the supreme burrito and a soft taco.“

“While everything was yummy, those who ordered bean burritos didn't realize the only filler in the tortillas were beans; I think they assumed they'd get cheese, tomatoes, etc, too. But that was our fault for not looking at the menu more closely.“

“If you want a model of excellent service, top notch food, amazing drinks, and a great atmosphere. Come here.There was a small wait on a Friday evening but I didn't mind that at all. The bartender was quick to bring drinks to my party. When we were seated, our waiter Elvin, was right there to greet us and take our order. The queso and table-side quac was out of this world tasty. Our actual meals arrived at the perfect time as our appetizers were winding down. Every bite of every meal was absolutely delicious.It isn't a matter of if I return but when. I can't rate this restaurant high enough.Vegetarian options: Typical options you would expect to find at a Tex-Mex restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian options albeit not vegan options.Parking: It is all open parking around the area. There may have been valet at a couple spots but it wasn't necessary.Kid-friendliness: I didn't see a children's menu but I am certain there are options that children would enjoy such as tacos and quesadillas.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessible doors and the establishment is pretty tight. It would prove difficult to find seating for an individual that is wheelchair bound.“

“The manager Kate was amazing! I thought that I had placed my order online for a big work lunch, turns out I made a mistake placing the order..After realizing I did not place my order correctly, Kate made our order on the fly. She was very helpful, professional, and kind. Not to mention, Kate was quick to resolve the issue, she went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service. She was excellent under pressure and helped us make it to our lunch on time, AMAZING customer service!“

“Great place for a family or gathering, they are fast and the food is delicious! The staff is friendly. I wish they had nicer chairs and tables and the lightening was dimmer . I don't like the high ceilings and creepy art on the walls.. I wish it had more of a modern look, it's very much your mom and pop shop that needs to be renovated.“

“We love Christina's!!If you're on the hunt for a Mexican dining experience that tantalizes your taste buds, look no further than Christina's. Nestled in North Richland Hills.

“This is my new favorite place. Most of the menu is gluten free and the food is delicious. I will definitely be eating here often. I dont feel like Im eating "typical" gluten free food, just delicious normal food that wont get me sick. I am amazed and so happy that this place exists.“

“Been here many times.Prices have increased of course. Used to be you could get a taco for 2 bucks now they are close to $3.50 and up BUT if you go on TUESDAYS they are a DOLLAR off!I definately MISS the crawfish tacos.I like the new fish tacos. THANK YOU for making with COD and not tilapia.Always love me an extra garlic sauce.Favorite taco is shrimp ? tempura on Crispy taco.Don't forget to use their app.“

“My mom took my sister and I to freebirds to try it for the first time. our server was cali i believe and she was outstanding and very enthusiastic the entire time. she deserves a raise!! i’llbe coming back for sureKid-friendliness: Cali was so sweet she noticed my little sisters obsession for the eclipse and gave her a new set that went with my little sisters outfit. it was way better than her old sams pair and she let mysister keep them:)“
