    Drove over to River Oaks to try a dining experience that has great reviews on Fort Worth Foodies. Today was their last day at the Chevron gas station. He will be relocating to Combine Kitchen off of Matlock south of I20 Arlington. We were presented with a tasty variation of common Cajun food dishes. The flavors were very good. We also enjoyed talking with the owners as they cooked our meals. We purchased our drinks separately in the gas station section. For payment they use cash or a couple of mobile apps. We would like to revisit when they open in Arlington.

    The food was definitely home-cooked. Seasoned the way I like it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

    The catfish was not catfish. The greens was glory greens. The green beans were sauteed from what seemed frozen. Not good soul food.

    Always great to support a small business instead of another chain. Great food and people.

    After living in Arlington, Texas, for 10 years, I have finally enjoyed a great, first-time, meal at…read moreMariano's Hacienda Ranch (Tex-Mex Cuisine). I can't believe that I've never before visited Mariano's Hacienda Ranch. I've been missing out on some great Tex-Mex! I knew I was going to have a great meal when I got out of the car and smelled the Mesquite smoke from the grill that Mariano's uses. The food was awesome and delicious. My Margarita was tasty, with a very generous pour of Tequila. The two salsas, traditional and warm chipotle, were fresh, with vibrant flavors of tomatoes, chilies, onions, cilantro. The guacamole was the perfect combination of avacado, lime, salt, cilantro, and onion. Our queso came with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and Picadillo ground beef. My lovely Wife had 3 Shrimp en Brochette with a Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada. She was overjoyed with her flavorful Mariano's Hacienda Ranch Tex-Mex dinner! I was so very happy with my delicious Beef Fajitas (they used tender outside skirt steak) with onions and peppers, all grilled over Mesquite coals. The flavors of Mesquite permeated my fajitas with smoky, sweet goodness, while the marinated meat was grilled perfectly over high heat, to yield juicy, seared, melt-in-your-mouth, beef flavor. Service was friendly and professional. Our meal was relatively inexpensive, offering great value for the high quality of the very tasty Tex-Mex cuisine. I have a new favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in Arlington/North Texas. I offer my highest recommendation of Mariano's Hacienda Ranch in Arlington, Texas, at Hwy 360 & Majesty Drive. I can't wait to go back (especially for the Mesquite grilled Tex-Mex meals).

    Mariano's Hacienda Ranch is my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant. I've eaten fajitas all over Texas, and…read morein my opinion they have the best fajitas in this galaxy. No exaggeration. Everything starts with the fire-roasted salsa. That stuff is ridiculous. I'd pour it over a 2x4 and eat it. Smoky, fresh, and addictive. I have to stop myself from filling up on chips before the food arrives. The fajitas are the star of the show. Tender, flavorful, and consistently excellent every single time. This is one of those places where you don't need to study the menu. Just order the fajitas and thank me later. The service is always good too. The staff is friendly, attentive, and keeps everything moving without hovering over your table. If Mariano's ever changes their fajita recipe, I'm prepared to testify before Congress. Until then, this place gets an easy five stars from me.
