Blue Goose Cantina was a good option, especially considering the limited options available in Grapevine, Teas. The food was pretty good and I enjoyed the fresh salad with a delicious vinaigrette. The cheese enchilada was fine, but I probably would try something else if I returned. The margaritas were a little too sweet for my liking, however they were really cheap on happy hour. My server was very nice and overall I would rate the service a 4, food a 3/3.5 and the drinks a 2. If you are in Grapevine I would come here for the food and skip the drinks. read more

This is our favorite happy hour spot, and where we bring friends when they are in town. Demi knows our order and has it ready before we are settled in. Food never disappoints, and the service is outstanding. read more

Great place. Great service. Zoe is absolutely amazing. The managers (Joseph and Jorge) are awesome and attentive 10/10 100% recommend

Meh. The food was ok but when I asked for a sloppy beer the server told we they did not have that. Then I had to explain that I was just asking for salt and lime and she still looked at me confused. Then our servers switched and we only saw them maybe one other time. A spider also dropped down to our table from the ceiling so there's that. read more

3.0 stars. It wasn't bad but also wasn't good. The service was pretty good though. Me and my friends think this place is probably more of a bar to get a drink than sit down and eat type of place. As with most Mexican restaurants they bring you chips and salsa. Their salsa was flavorful and chunky. I like that. I ordered the taco salad with fajita chicken meat. I've had a lot better elsewhere. The taco bowl was kind of soft, not sure if they refrigerate it or something., and the salad was a little smaller than what I'm used to. On the bright side: their ranch was pretty good. They brought us complimentary sopapillas:-) It was very nice. Great dessert to end our meal. Sopapillas were coated with cinnamon and sugar and a drizzle of honey and whip cream:-) I really don't know if I would come back. If I did, I'd probably stick to one of their fancy cocktails:-) read more

Blue Goose Cantina - Blue goose Taco salad with jalapeño ranch - Tex-Mex Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

First thing ... Staff was outstanding. Five stars if I was writing about the staff alone. Table was sticky I think with salsa residue, and we asked for a clean up but I think the hostess forgot so we ended up wiping it down ourselves with wipes I had in my bag - Score having a toddler so I had some wipes in my bag- Food quality wasn't there unfortunately in a market with a lot of tex-mex options. My hubby got some serious stomach issues from a quesadilla which doesn't normally happen. The biggest concern we saw was the beer cases lined up outside of the bar along the other side of the wall. We watched as a kid no more than 4 nearly grab bottles out of the boxes a few times as they were getting up to either use the restroom or leave. As well there was a door to the patio that someone could have slipped in and grabbed a beer easily undetected. I'm sure there is some rule against having the beers so easily accessible but we played it to that they had just gotten a delivery and hadn't put it behind the bar yet. I'm sure I might give them another shot at some point, given its the only texmex place I know of in a mile proximity to the mall and movie theater a but after first visit I'm not going out of my way for it. read more

Blue Goose Cantina - Beer lined up along the wall outside of the bar ... a kid no more that 4 got up and could have easily grabbed one. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Good fajitas and margaritas. Just wish the bartenders were as good. The young lady behind the bar was very rude to the customer sitting next to me, saying "come on buddy, it's not that hard" when he delayed in answering what sides he might like with his dinner. The shocking part to me was that the bar wasn't all that busy at the time and she could have given him a few seconds to decide. She was good to me, keeping me stocked up with chips and salsa so I was surprised at who she was treating others. I had the combo fajitas and the steak portion was outstanding. Portions were good. Will go there again and avoid sitting at the bar. read more

This place is mediocre at best. Service is usually bad at this location, we come here for convenience sake since it's in the mall lot. The lady/dude at the desk when we walked in this time was on the phone back towards us and didn't even turn around and acknowledge us. We stood there over 5 mins completely ignored. Finally a waitress walked past and asked if we've been helped and I said no and she took us to a table herself. I'm pretty sure the one who blatantly ignored us standing there was in management, too. The food is okay. Nothing spectacular. read more

Bland food. I can make better fajitas at home. Overpriced also. Guac comes in a bowl of lettuce so you get more lettuce than guac.

Went to give it a try. Margaritas are good, food not so much. Service was great. Won't go for the food again.

We were in town for a conference. They place was packed and they didn't have enough to cover the shift; however, they had Fantastic attitudes and the food was great!! read more

Queso is amazing! Saturdays special is $5 mimosas...the strawberry ones are delish!! Food was good. Our party of 11 ordered Mexican food except for my 17 year old. He ordered French toast. When the French toast came out, the entire table was jealous they didn't order the same! It was a HUGE serving and he said they were amazing. read more

Blue Goose Cantina - Gonna give this place a try!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Well the 3 stars is because food was actually not that great. But, I will give you (5 Stars) because our Server (Brendon) was amazingly professional. He deserves to be the lead in Customer Service and train your staff and/or new hired staff with of course a raise because he will be taking on a bigger responsibility. If you do that, your customers will be happy with the service they are receiving. Now about the food, I ordered the sour cream enchiladas. The tortilla was dry, it needed more red sauce. The red sauce had no flavor and no spice. If you would want to make this authentic, then you need to hire a Mexican cook. Believe me I am Mexican and I was not happy with the flavors. read more

Had a ladies brunch with me ladies and we originally wanted to try Love and War, but it was (permanently?) shut down, so Blue Goose was next door and sounded better than fast food. We sat at the outside bar patio which was beautiful and comforting. Loved that they had big screen TVs so that I could watch my college football. Go Big Red!! The bees were a bit annoying but hey, it's outdoors in Texas. The food was your typical Tex Mex with the typical price. Chips and salsa were good. Enchiladas were good, rice and beans were average. It was fine. Nothing spectacular but not total trash either. Margaritas were fine. Not badly priced. If you take a pic of yourself/food at the restaurant and post it on their FB page, you get free sopapillas!! Yummmm!! Overall, above average typical Tex Mex. read more

The bartender Lazaro was great! A hustler, as well as nice. Plus the food here is always consistent. My partner and I love coming to the bar for a few rounds to watch a game and share fajitas or enchiladas. One of the last few local spots on this strip by the mall. Check it out! read more

Ordered from here tonight through door dash and I was pleasantly surprised. It got to my house way sooner than the app said and was excellent food. I would definitely order from them again. read more

Came in to a pretty empty restaurant with multiple tables open and was told there is a wait. No big deal I've seen places do this with staffing issues but the next 5 groups to walk in were all parties of 4 and they got immediately seated. Just a weird situation that doesn't make much sense to me but it is what it is. read more

Considering I understand mistakes are made, I've let it slide before, but now I've had enough. Staff seems great but do not EVER order from here. I go in every once in awhile and probably order from them once a week, but every time I order, THEY FORGET A WHOLE MEAL! EVERY TIME! I mean, a cup of salsa? Sure I get it, but 5 times in a row now they have forgotten a whole MEAL. Unacceptable. How do you miss this that consistently. Ridiculous. read more

Ordered a "fajita" salad and tortilla soup to go Saturday. Service was rough. From the hostess to the rest of the team, everyone seemed genuinely irritated that I was there. There was a lady with blue hair that was super nice. Bartender was also friendly. Those two are the only reason for the two stars. The nasty, old lettuce in the salad photos speak for themselves. More evidence of do not care. The thirteen nuggets of charred beef jerky on my salad ("fajita I guess"), were weird. You are going to make someone actually sick. Fortunately, you guys are in a tourist spot. That will likely help with the top line revenue. I can't imagine repeat business is even a thing for this location. Cold "tortilla soup" was no bueno. Please give my best to the blue hair girl and the bartender. read more

This was my first experience at Blue Goose Cantina and it was AMAZING! Our food was delicious and served fresh. Our waiter Robert was very catering to all of our needs. He was super friendly and had some Great recommendations. My friends and family were overall impressed. We cant wait to go back and have another awesome experience.. read more

Good for drinks. Clean, well maintained. Good menu choices. Overall good traditional Tex-Mex.

So 4 out of our group of 8 got food poisoning. It was the chicken because the people that ate the chicken all got sick in the middle of the night. Service was great but it ended terrible with the food read more

Blue Goose Cantina - Chips and strawberry margarita on the rocks - Tex-Mex Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

I've been searching for a good spot for Tex-Mex, and I'm pleased to report that my search has not been in vain. I've seen this name a lot, but I always put off trying it; Tonight was my night! Let me tell you, Blue Goose Cantina did NOT disappoint! I went with my "typical" Tex-Mex favorites: House-made Top Shelf Queso- A heaping portion of warm, delicious queso, loaded with STEAK, GUAC, SOUR CREAM, PICO! With a huge bag of freshly made tortilla chips, this queso, you gotta try! My entree was sooo good! I tried their Pulled Chicken Enchiladas-SMOTHERED- in (my favorite) sour cream sauce; DELICIOUS! I went ahead and added dessert to my order: Hot, Fresh, Mini Sopapillas! With a generous dusting of sugar, cinnamon, and fresh honey for dipping, these sopapillas are the perfect addition to your meal. I ordered from DoorDash, and was pleased with the quality packaging, which allowed my food to arrive safely to my home....And to top it all off, I didn't even break the bank! If you're in the mood for some tasty Tex-Mex, you gotta try this place. No, seriously :) You won't be disappointed read more

Usually a good place to eat but tonight we were sat in the patio and two servers looked at us and never received service. We were there long enough to finish a basket of chips and some salsa. Second time in recent visits the service was mediocre. read more

Love the Blue Goose in Highland Village, but won't return to this location. 5 people standing at the hostess station @ 11:30 on a Sat so I'm thinking "they are on their game". We were seated quickly so that was a plus. Woman delivering chips & salsa couldn't be bothered to speak after we both thanked her - she looked irritated. She had one basket of chips and 2 salsas to deliver because no one else needed anything / tables were still empty. The chips were crushed. A handful on top were ok, the rest were smashed. Server took our order quickly. She was one of the 5 at the hostess stand. She walked off only to return to clarify our drink orders. Queso was not the same that we are used to. Also $9 for a very small amount. Cheese is expensive, I get that part, but when you use a large bowl, and fill it 1/3 that makes it look even worse. Was not impressed, and we didn't finish it. Server didn't return until our food was dropped off, and it wasn't complete so she left to go get the incomplete item. Food was delicious, and the sides were portioned as usual, entree was not. Wouldn't have known this except we have been regulars at another location for many, many years. Server didn't return again until we were finished with our meal, and she bought the ticket. Never offered a drink refill or checked in. Didn't even breeze through silently. Because she was visiting with her pals at the hostess station. Management at the Highland Village location should probably be engaged to help with training. This location is lacking. No one likes to be served by someone that seems miserable (chips) or inattentive (server). Portion size being off might have had to do with kitchen staff? Not sure. Won't give it a second thought or try though. read more

Place was mid as it was. Chips and salsa were as expected, the service was pretty good. My food could've been better. They burned my bacon and put too much cheese on my eggs. The cream cheese drizzle on the fruit. Eh I'd skip it. I'll think about coming back read more

Yummy food, everything was better than I expected for a chain restaurant. Nice outdoor seating was good for kids. Had the steak fajitas and they were great. Only low point was the guacamole was pretty blah. read more

I've been here a few times and I like this location a lot. They definitely outdo the Highland Village location in convenience, parking, food and quality of staff. I've only been here for work lunches, so I can only comment on the lunch menu, service and food. It's chain Tex-Mex so nothing is going to blow you away, but it's a really solid lunch. I've tried more items than I can remember and haven't had anything that I didn't like. In comparison to the Highland Village location I really like the staff here. Both servers and management are friendly and engaged. Our orders have always been correct and I like giving my business to these people. Location wise, they are so convenient to get to! You can access immediately from 26, 2499 or Grapevine Mills Circle. Their parking lot is a very decent size and accommodates their large crowds well. The other chain Tex-Mex is Fuzzy's across the street, so it's a no brainer if you are in the area. The only feedback I would give is that several lunches have had slow food delivery, but I can attest to seeing the staff hustling and working hard while juggling big crowds. When it's just me and my team, we call in an order and it's always ready when they say it will be. When my boss is in the group, we tend to dine in and that's when I find it slow. To be fair, I always have a lot of work waiting for me, so that's probably just making me impatient. I would still recommend calling in an order if you are in a time crunch, their menu online includes pictures and prices and is very easy to use. Their queso is pretty good for a chain and I like their rice, quesadillas, enchiladas and tacos. I've had several selections of each and have found them all to be good lunch choices. There was one order of brisket tacos that was a bit on the watery side, so not executed 100%, but still had good flavor. I know their burritos and nachos are also hits with my team. I think my favorite would be their quesadillas though. They have a good filling ratio without stuffing it, I don't care for overstuffed quesadillas, takes away from enjoying the tortilla! The best thing is their prices are GREAT! You get a good portion for lunch between $7-11. The $10-11 items are their pick 2 and pick 3 combos which I think is a really good deal for that price. The lunch menu may be limited compared to the dinner menu, but I promise you the huge selection beats out 80% of lunch menus, you'll definitely find something you like. You got to get their sopapillas, they are way above chain quality. They are smaller squares, which makes them really consistent. I love consistency, and they are cheap too. You get 4 in an order, covered in cinnamon sugar and served with whipped cream. Whipped cream! We love those bad boys. If you get full on queso and your entrée, split an order with someone, it's a pleasant end to the meal. For me, the value is always about the price and portion, this place delivers during lunch time. I think it's great that they serve lunch 11-4pm, that's 5 hours to get a cheaper price!! The quality of service ups the ante for me too, definitely a good value by Grapevine Mills Mall and worth stopping in. read more

I'd have to say the food was pretty good, although I only ate a couple crispy tacos and charro beans & rice. The tacos were pretty good, though average for a Mexican place in Dallas! The rice was a tad salty & the beans were very mediocre. I did like the beer selection included something other than bud, or lite or some Mexican yuck! Might be back! read more

The food is real good, and the staff is pretty nice. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because: 1) The restaurant floor is not super wheelchair accessible. I know that there's only so much that can be done for space, but the tables are so close together that there is not much room for maneuvering when the restaurant is full. This isn't a giant qualm for me, but just a thought. 2) The hosts stand around and do nothing. I use a wheelchair, and while I normally prefer to open doors myself, it should be expected that hosts make an attempt to open the door for customers. There were four kids up there working as host the night I came with my family, and not one made any attempt to help me with the door (which I had struggled with a little, to be honest). Upon leaving we experienced the same thing, and no goodbye. I'm usually not picky about this sort of thing, but it seems a bit lackluster. Otherwise, I do enjoy the food here, and the building itself has a cool vibe to it. read more

I really wanted to like Blue Goose Cantina buuuuutttttt . Our waiter was so awesome! So attentive and really nice. The restaurant was also super clean and trendy. When I walked in, there were maybe 7-9 tables with customers which, to me, is already a red flag. Nonetheless, I sat down and waited for my company. I got a mango margarita on the rocks, and it was extremely watered down. I was super disappointed. The salsa and chips were pretty good and probably the best thing I had that day. For my meal, I got the fish tacos (appetizer). They were extremely bland and just not good, in my opinion. I tried to add salsa, I tried the dipping sauce and nothing. My guest had the chicken fajitas and said the same - bland. The picture attached to this post is deceiving. Looked great, did not meet expectations. Update: the popsicle margaritas were a summer '17 thing, :( read more

If you can't serve authentic Mexican, you shouldn't call yourself a Cantina. The fish tacos were blackened with pepper. The fish was mushy and all I could taste was pepper. The rice was over cooked and bland. The drinks were fine, Tecate in a can and a Marguerita. read more

My husband, three small kids, and I were vacationing for Fathers Day in Grapevine, Tx. On our first night we went to the Blue Goose Cantina for dinner. The moment we walked in we were met by not so friendly hostess which can be over looked. We decided to sit outside because there was a small wait for seating inside. The hostess started to walk outside without saying "this way" or "follow me" no which didn't seem too concerning for me since they weren't friendly to begin with. I just laughed it off and so did my husband and we followed. As we were following behind the hostess, she dropped one of our silverware sets on the ground. We watched intensely after to see how she handled it. The hostess picked up the silverware and kept it in a separate hand and then as we got to our table she combined her hands of silverware sets and rolled them and laid them ALL on the table. I was shocked! So I asked her if she could please get us another set since she dropped the one and she looked annoyed and said nothing and grabbed one set and walked away. My husband and I looked at each other and said there is no way she knew which one she dropped because we didn't even know which one for sure. So I took all of them in and went to the hostess stand and asked if they could all please be replaced. When another hostess came and brought the silverware back again she dropped them off without saying a word and seemed inconvenienced or annoyed. Both my husband and I looked at the silverware sets without picking them up and they were obviously covered in dirt! The silverware sets were covered in dirt not in a way that was natural but in a way that was obvious that they had to have been individually rolled in dirt! At this point we were so shocked by the service received that we felt it was only safe for us to leave. My husband took our three SMALL kids to the truck while I stayed and asked to speak to a manager. I politely told the two very nice ladies I spoke to and they were more than apologetic and wanted us to stay but I politely declined out of fear of even more retaliation from the hostess and because we already buckled in the three kiddos and just wanted to cut our losses. I worked my entire time through college in the food industry and have NEVER come across such disregard for other human beings... especially children! I would never give a family with three small kids dirt covered silverware because they asked for new ones. The purpose of a hostess is to greet and make the customers feel welcomed the moment they walk in and seat them.. none of those were accomplished successfully. All three of the young ladies working their were dismissive and unwelcoming not to mention the appalling behavior as far as my families silverware. Not too mention during a time of a worldwide pandemic. Proper sanitation in a public restaurant I'm sure is the top priority in any establishment and that was not it. It was definitely an interesting start to our Fathers Day vacation! We will never return. read more

Walking by this place on a late Sunday afternoon. Stopped in for something to eat. Called a pilot friend at the hotel and he came by. Sat at the bar. The bartenders are great friendly guys. The chips are thin and crispy. And the salsa is the best I have had in a while. Great way to start. I ordered the Dirty Bob, a mesquite grilled fajita chicken (or steak available) chimichanga. It is a large flour tortilla stuffed with fajita meat, refried beans & cheese. Fried & smothered in a savory ranchero sauce with a side of guacamole & pico de gallo. Served with Spanish rice & frijoles refritos. It was very good. The bartender had queso sauce added on top. Overall, it was a great meal. Worth the surprising stop. read more
