Update, 2/19/2026: We tried Arboleda's again this evening. Wow! What a change! I had the Special - Carne Asada Tacos - and, they were amazing! These were 3 slightly crispy corn tortillas with carne asada, slices of avocado, and the best white cheese! They made a great decision by changing to charro beans from refried beans. We're very pleased, and so happy that we now have a Mexican restaurant so close by! read more

Arboleda's Mexican Grill - Special of the Day: Carne Asada Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

The service was excellent and the food tasty. The only question mark was the queso on the side with most plates. I personally am not a fan of queso so would prefer real shredded cheese. I offered to give my side cup away and there were no takers which leads me to think maybe it wasn't great queso but can't offer my experience as I didn't taste it at all. read more

Nice neighborhood restaurant located at the entrance of Waterview community in Rowlett. Nice Mexican recipes especially the enchiladas and tacos. Nachos as appetizers worked well. The salsa came in two styles. The one served warm was the best. One of 3 locations. Wednesday is enchilada day $7.99 Don't forget the dessert. Nice bar and happy hour offerings. read more

Good food great service. FROZEN MARGARITAS !! Easy to get to now the road work is done.

The food is great, the service is welcoming and the margaritas are perfect. So glad they expanded, now I can send even more people to enjoy it! read more

As a resident of Waterview, I would love to have a good Mexican restaurant at the entrance of our community...I have eaten here several times. Unfortunately this is not what very good. It seems like they are trying but miss out on the details of good Mexican food. An example are their almost inedible refried beans. I mean how could such a basic item taste like gruel. Ugh....a simple fix. read more

this is my "go to"place for tex mex food ..always good , hot , fresh, service is always on point...I've never had a problem or a complaint ... read more

Very good food and service nice atmosphere.they were very friendly.We had the enchiladas, chimicunga, queso and chips, and quesadillas. So papillas and brownie ala mode. All good food. read more

Average, unfortunately. Returned my dish to the kitchen. Appeared to be reheated food direct from the freezer. Still a bit cold. Husbands dish was missing grilled onions, although menu stated inclusion. Cook didn't notice.... Margs were good. Super convenient location. How I wish we weren't disappointed a second time... read more

Pollo Gratinado!!! Its hands down the best thing on the menu. A must order!!! They make amazing Mexican food - don't order texmex here. Enjoy classic Mexican food dishes and you'll be pleased! Fresh food, good service, lots of menu options for everyone! 10/10!!! read more

What a great surprise that the food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is the perfect size for a great lunch or dinner. It is clean, tables have good spacing, and friendly, knowledgeable, servers. Matt and I had dinner there a couple of days ago on his recommendation. We were not disappointed. We started with the usual chips salsa. Initially, I thought was a little too spicy, but I adjusted to it with a soda's help. Our server,Mia, was so patient and helpful. When we asked for more time to decide what we wanted, she gave us plenty of time and never made us feel rushed to make a decision. She took excellent care of us. When we ran out of chips, we didn't have to wait because another server noticed and replenished the chips without our having to wait. We ordered the "Max" ( hopefully this is the correct name) plate with a tamale,enchilada, chile relleno, rice and refried beans. However, their menu called for the relleno and enchilada to be cheese. We changed them to beef instead. Let me just say that everything on our plates was well seasoned and delightfully delicious! The portions were generous and wonderfully presented. Arboledas's is definitely my first choice of places to go to for a hot, delicious , reasonably priced meal. read more

Food and service has always been good but just realized they were charging extra for credit cards. State law prohibits but legal issue is murky due to court cases and Attorney General opinions but lack of transparency on the additional fee until presenting the bill has left a bad taste in my mouth. Quite possible it's happen before and it's on me for trusting them. DS read more

This place is great! Their chips and salsa are fresh and the service is always very good. They recently expanded into the neighboring store with many more seating options. Last time I was there I had their nachos and they were really really good! I will definitely be back read more

We have been customers for years going 2-3 times a week but the last six months have declined in the food especially it's nothing like it used to be the service isn't so great now either. Today was the final straw charging over 4% to use a card that is insane. It was good while it lasted. Best of luck to you MM read more

Great Food Great service Lidia was very pleasant. Salsa was amazing we went back next day for some for our family dinner read more

What a freaking train wreck. Management, you really need to take a more active role in managing your business. Girlfriend ask me about picking something off the menu, which I was very hesitant based on other reviews but it's what she wanted. The portion size is no better than a Taco Bueno platter meal for their Fajitas for one and for the price, you have to be kidding me. The Rowlett location didn't even get her order. Needless to say, somethings go beyond money. We were supposed to have this takeout order along with a football game on TV but alas, she took a gamble on this place and the house always wins, we lost. I hope our football team at least wins. read more

The food and service was excellent. My favorite was combo #3. I loved the cheese enchilada. read more

This little corner, semi alcove has had multiple restaurants over a few short years. Since it's close to home I really want very much for it to succeed. I really think Arboleda's has that thing to succeed. All my first impressions from a Tex/Mex restaurant start with fajitas. You do that right and I'm yours. While my local heart wanted to give 5 Stars my Yelp head says there was at least one thing to improve on- so a progressive 4 stars for new venue. When it comes to fajitas, the perfect layout according to my taste buds, is a medium cooked skirt steak with caramelised onions and the right mix of side items to score a taste-bud touchdown. Under cooked- no bueno. Over cooked - no bueno. So while my better half raved about her fajitas I was in turmoil. I had some perfect juicy steak pieces but some where crisp (over cooked). That made the onions really caramelised so that was a plus, but to me lacking on the meat presentation. When I backed up in my head to ordering, I was not asked about how I wanted my meat cooked. My bad. My overall vibe was its goood! And I will certainly go back. Armed with my particular taste requirements. I'll heavily suggest a medium finish. Save the afterburners. The service was great & our server was very attentive and accommodating. So service is a 5 Star. I was so hungry I did not get a dish photo but will snap away next trip- I hope! read more

This was our first time here. The service is second to none and everyone is very friendly. The food is outstanding. From the chips and salsa to the tacos, enchiladas and nachos. However, you should try the Mexican Apple Pie. OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!! We will be coming back. Often. read more

I came here thinking it would be as big as the location in Rockwall, it's actually really small. But the food and service is really good. Their Queso Fundido was delicious read more

Yelp was right once again. Took a chance given the reviews. Food was out of this world. Definitely a do not miss if in this area. Carne is extremely tender. read more

First time here was a few weeks ago. I read reviews and decided to try it. Ambiance is not like a restaurant but more like a local place. Service and food were really good. I'd definitely return and bring my brother. read more

Amazing food and service. Mexican apple pie blew us away. Manager was kickin but assisting servers cause the place was packed. Soooo worth the short wait. Rowlett has my new go-to mexican place!!! read more

We got an order to go and our server was super helpful on the phone and in the restaurant. The table side guacamole and the queso were so good. We also like the enchiladas, the chile relleno, and the flauta. The dining room is definitely cozy so it's better for small groups. read more

First time visiting. We sat at the bar. Staff was all very friendly. Had read on Facebook that they were having cinco de mayo specials all weekend: $5 margs and $12 birria tacos. Apparently that was only for the Royce City location. Seems to me if you only have 3 they could all be doing the same specials. Frozen margaritas tasted very artificial. Like a melted lime popsicle. Their flavorings were poured from bottles. Opted for beers after that, but they were super foamy. Good size though and cold. Since the birria was not on special we had fajitas. They were supposed to come with steak, chicken, and smoked sausage, but they were out of sausage. Seems like you could send someone to the store. So we just had the steak and chicken which were both very good. Loved the salsas as well. Not sure we would go back. It wasn't super convenient for us but it's good if you live on that side of Rowlett. read more

Good portions, great prices and vert tasty. My husband's favorite is the steak fajitas and for me are the chicken flautas plate. I highly recommend this place! read more

Seriously my new favorite place. Driven by hundreds of times and have been twice this week. I had stacked chicken enchiladas with verde sauce, two fried eggs for $12.99. I added avocado, sour cream, fresh jalapeños. Great service, salsa and the prices are great. Everything I've seen served there looks great! Can't wait to go back! read more

Fairly small and on my visit there was practically no one in the place at lunchtime. Their loss. The food was very good. The chips were fresh and crisp. They serve two different salsas and both were excellent. The margarita, let's just say it'll get you where your going. It's a neighborhood place so there's nothing fancy about it and that lack of atmosphere is the reason for -1 star. I do plan to go back. read more

Pretty good food.....except for the plastic I pulled out of the middle of my taco salad...... read more

Great margaritas. Found this place after we moved in up the road. Great local neighborhood takeout or sit down. Small dining area and bar, but food and drinks are great. read more

I'm not usually a big Mexican restaurant fan when it comes to my choice of where to go eat. When I think of Mexican, I like to go to more authentic taquerias or more authentic style restaurants. That being said, I felt like this was a nice compromise for us with a good offering of food that can satisfy that Mexican sabor you might be looking for. We are always on the look out for good places to go and overall, I think that this one can stay on our short list and we can definitely see ourselves going back. read more

Phenomenal meal and a very nice restaurant with great service. The owner stopped by our table to check on things as well (always a good sign) and he could not have been nicer. Had outstanding nachos with beans and melted cheese and each nacho is individually prepared really great and salsa tasted fresh made. Brisket tacos were also excellent and something I hope to order again. Highly recommend and hope to be back!!! read more

I went again today still amazing. The salsa and chips spot on and of course I'm happy they have Mexican Coke.I had the Katy's plate cheese enchilada with Verde sauce and a cheese taco it' was the best. read more

Very friendly service here. I highly recommend the chicken tortilla soup and the steak fajitas, they are both delicious. The ranchero beans are a must. Watch out for the salsa served at room temp, it is HOT! The salsa served warm is very mild. Good margaritas too! read more
