    Cheese enchilada
    Delonda A.

    Always reliable for a good Texmex cheese enchilada with chili con carne! So many places to go, but you want good consistent food - this is it - never changes, always same good quality and fast, friendly service.

    Small queso and guacamole dip combo. Didn't care for the flavor of either.

    Nice ambiance. Comfortable seating. The food was "ok" except for the fish tacos, which I really liked a lot. Our server, Gabriel, was terrific. Because this is close to home and we didn't have a bad experience, we'll be back.

    The food, the service, the atmosphere were all excellent! I recommend and if in this area again would patronize.

    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).

    I really wanted to like this restaurant because it's close by, and the food and drinks are actually…read morereally good! Unfortunately, I've visited twice now and the service has been practically nonexistent both times. The hostesses are always very welcoming, but once we get to the table, the experience completely changes. Both times, our servers acted like they would rather be doing anything else and that we were inconveniencing them just by being there. It's disappointing because the food and drinks are good enough to make me want to come back, but the service makes it hard to justify another visit.

    I'm not sure why I like Chuy, but for some reason I do. I like the style of the restaurant and the…read moreservice has been good at this location. This is a busy restaurant they pack you in. On most nights we have to wait to be seated for about 20 minutes, not a long wait. I like the margaritas and the chips and salsa the best. And just hanging out in the restaurant. As for the food I have tried, the combo meals they have been pretty good. Not a fan of the shrimp tacos, they were cold. Had to send back and they were not much better the second time. I did like Taco Al Carbon's good flavor. As for the food I have not found the right meal.

    Came with the family. We ordered a good amount of food but everyone was hungry I didn't get a…read morechance to take a picture lol We ordered the fajitas for two (chicken and fajitas). The chicken and the fajita was ok i felt it lacked something ? Idk. The tortillas were BOMB.COM. Though. They also had a new salsa when we went. Almost looked like ranch? I'm not sure what it was but it was really good. We also had the appetizer plate and honestly it had a lot of food. Can't complain. It came with queso, flautas, chicken quesadilla and guac and sour cream. People might have their opinion on this place but my family and I always come here and there when we are in the area.
