    Chips, salsa, queso
    Brandy S.

    I went back and forth between a 3 and 4 after dining her for the first time. I landed on a 3, but if half stars were available, I would say they are a solid 3.5. Dined in on a Sunday afternoon and they were not busy at all. Weird smell outside of the restaurant, like garbage or something? Not sure, but it wasn't pleasant. Inside was better but didn't smell particularly good either. Maybe mix of musty and cleaning supplies? Not sure. It wasn't bad, but did give me pause when entering. It was also humid and almost looked cloudy inside. I don't know how to explain it really. We were seated right away by the friendly hostess and she took our drink order as well as out appetizer order - small cup of queso ($5.50). Drinks and queso came quickly and the salsa was served in this cute little bottle that you pour yourself. The queso tasted like basic processed cheese, but had a good flavor. The salsa was delish! It was served cold and also had a good flavor with a slight kick on heat on the back end. I would purchase a bottle for home if available. The kiddo ordered the 2 beef & bean burrito plate which came with 2 small burritos, similar to enchiladas it looked like with rice and beans ($13.50) and I had the Arroz Con Pollo which is rice topped with fajita chicken, grilled onion & bell peppers, covered in queso with a side of beans ($14.00). The ground beef in the burritos was seasoned very well and the kid enjoyed his meal. The fajita chicken on my plate was pretty flavorless and kind of dry. The onions could have definitely been grilled longer I only saw 2 small pieces of bell pepper. The queso piled on top kind of hides these issues. It was good when ate all together and I added some salsa. Both plates held a lot of food and I'll get at least 3 more meals out of mine. We would probably return because I would like to try something else off of the menu. One thing holding me back would be the prices. The price for the quality just doesn't match up. I also found many items here that are significantly cheaper at my go-to Mexican food restaurant. And considering beans and rice here aren't included with every dinner/combo plate, that's a big deterrent.

    So I totally forgot to post this review from back in the beginning of August Lol! My Uncle called me up and said Hey let's go get some Mexican food I'm buying and I said I've been dieting so alright let's go! Well we wanted somewhere close but somewhere different so we were looking online at menus and saw Arizola's, and I thought to myself wow i've driven by that place a million times and never even thought about stopping there to check it out. Well now I know that was a mistake cause it definitely didn't disappoint, I ordered the Carne Guisada plate and it was mildly spicy, tender and delicious plus the beans & rice were on point as well. I honestly had low expectations going in having no previous knowledge of the place and by it's appearance but it certainly greatly exceeded them and my uncle and I will both be back! If you're in the area give it a shot

    In our relentless pursuit of quality Mexican food near our new home we popped in on a Saturday. We were sat near the front of the restaurant in what looks to be an addition put onto the original building. The shrimp cocktail cake with shrimp that were room temperature. I noticed hubs didn't finish his plate. There is a cashier stand with a cash register but we were sent back to our table to wait until or waitress could check us out. This restaurant may have been good at one time but that time is long gone. Staff, food, decor, ambience is meh at best.

    Toouch queso in Texas.. Thought I would try another place since we moved to Fort Worth 5 months ago from another state. Have been disappointed that the flavor here is not the same I am used to. So I have to make my own off the menu arrangement on my burrito. Bean and real shredded cheese. I added their verde salsa to the top and sour cream. The waitress was very accommodating. It came out perfect. There green sauce is the best so far that I've tried here. The chips and salsa are great. The salsa is chunkier and I loved it. I also asked if she could make a skinny Margarita for me and it was perfect.

What is not to love? As we're celebrating our 55th anniversary this month we were presented with a lovely, complementary sparkly rose. As today is Cinco de Mayo a Margarita was in order and the house pour was lovely. We shared a bottle of California Sauvignon Blanc to accompany the Ceviche Tatemado followed by the Tacos de Barbacoa which is the Tuesday lunch special. Both the ceviche and barbacoa tacos were just so enjoyable. The striped bass and octopus ceviche here is a unique preparation that sings in the tangy lime and Serrano vinaigrette in which it is prepared. The barbacoa is so flavorful and tender; and the thin, house made flour tortilla is fried crispy on the flat top before being filled. So good.

Servers provided a great experience aside from a bunch of flies (ate outside on the patio and were waving at flys most of the night). Three stars for the prices. We are an entirely vegetarian meal with no alcohol and paid $400 for a party of six...and we were sharing (yes, you read that correctly). $13 for a side of Mexican rice. $18 for essentially a side mashed potatoes. $16 for grilled vegetables. And the portions were SMALL. We were sharing across four adults and three kids and everyone only ended up getting a tiny amount. It was really difficult believing we were receiving any real value...it felt like the Don and figured out how to have unsuspecting guests pay double! It to say this isn't a legit high-end Mexican restaurant, it is. But I would more realistically describe it as a high-end steak house with wrap-around Mexican dishes (which explains why the side prices were so extreme). Kids quesadillas with steak were $17 a piece with no sides other than potato chips (a little odd given the context). Anyway, I'll end it where I began...food was good, servers were great...but just not worth the price. If the bill had been half or the portions were larger, it would have felt like we were actually getting value for our money.

There's plenty of seating as well as bar seating. I've been there on a weekend night when a Mariachi band was playing. That made the experience even more enjoyable.

Both were fresh and very delicious. I had the Quesadilla dinner, Mexican rice and Charro beans are included. I must say, I have NEVER had better Charro Beans. My family had the Enchilada Dinner, the Carnitas Dinner, and Cowboy Salad. I can't finish this review without mentioning their Frozen Peach Margarita with sugar, no salt...THE. BEST. I. EVER. HAD.

My husband usually orders the tacos al carbon, enchilada dinner, or the beef quesadilla dinner, and he's enjoyed all of them. Their margaritas are also really good and pair well with the food. The restaurant has plenty of seating, though it can still get pretty busy during peak times. Even when it's full, it's still comfortable enough to have a good conversation without feeling too crowded or loud. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood spot with good food, good drinks, and consistently solid service.

They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.
