    Fresh warm Churros for free for Yelpers
    Jamgul M.

    I'm visiting Texas today for work and didn't want to go far. El Pollo Loco to the rescue. I was so hungry. I feel so much better now. I tried the chipotle chicken avocado burrito. The cashier and cook was super nice and the restaurant was quiet and relaxing.

    Dry burnt chicken

    Went through the drive thru. I ordered a 3 piece chicken meal and the chicken seemed old and it was dry and burnt with charcoal. They also forgot my tortillas but the chicken was so bad didn't need them. I tried to call but no one answered the phone so I left a voicemail message.

    Chicken Legs and Thighs

    Chicken comes out warm and is a good switch up from the typical fried chicken available at fast foods. The coupons offered are great for encouraging me to try new things. Cashiers are bilingual and respectful when taking food orders. They even took the time to remember my parents name because they come more often. Dine in tables and eating area are also clean. If you're looking for a quick chicken fix and don't want fried chicken this is the place!

    Watered down macaroni

    I have tried this location several times before but the last two times I feel like it's just a waste of money. Food taste like it's not fresh maybe from the night before and macaroni is watered down no flavor at all. I tried giving them another opportunity and they failed again.

    Avocado chicken quesadilla with no avocado! :(
    Kelly O.

    We pass by this place all the time, it's conveniently located right off the highway. I have had their quesadillas and was never impressed. I gave them 3 tries, bc I really wanted to like them. The chicken quesadillas always had dark gristly meat (not a fan). Today I gave this place another try and ordered something different. I got the double chicken bowl ($6.& change). It comes with chicken, avocado, beans, rice, cabbage, cheese, and pico. The chicken was white meat (thank goodness!) and well seasoned. They have a condiment bar for all your toppings/salsa. Some are kinda spicy so watch out! My only complaint was that they were a little skimpy on the cheese! Nonetheless, I enjoyed this meal much more than my past ones from this establishment and I would get this again.

    Large Sweet Tea with an Assorted Coin Wrapper.

    I was very satisfied with the food and somewhat the service because not everything was provided that I paid for so I had to go back the next day. I finished my drink today from here and found this in my drink. I am very disturbed and disappointed. I tried to call this location to stress the concern but the call goes straight to voicemail. Very unsanitary.

    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.

I went to The Mexican during Dallas Restaurant Week and had such a great experience. Hospitality: From the moment I arrived, everything was on point. No wait to valet, the hostesses were warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. My server, Daniel, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable walked me through the menu and gave great recommendations. Food: Everything I had was delicious. I started with the chips and assortment of salsas and dips, which were really were incredible! For Restaurant Week, I had the tortilla soup, the shrimp/bacon tacos, and the leches cake for dessert. The tortilla soup was especially impressive, both in presentation and flavor, and the shrimp tacos were excellent. Honestly, there was not a bad bite all night. Ambiance: The restaurant is beautiful--chic, polished, and much larger than I expected. The different dining areas each seem to offer a slightly different experience, which adds to the overall feel of the restaurant. Overall, I left feeling like I had a genuinely great night out. Great food, great service, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be back.

Complimentary champagne, and AMAZING service from our waitress. I've literally never had a server with such extensive knowledge of a restaurant's menu. Very impressive! We also had a amazing experience with the manager. We needed some accommodations for our table and he was so thoughtful. He even provided us with a complimentary cuatro leches cake slice! (which was HUGE btw). While the service was exponentially excellent, the food was...good. The menu was what I would describe as "elevated Mexican" with some other Latin-inspired steakhouse dishes (think filet mignon with some salsa on the side) Everything was good, but nothing really stood out for me. One more thing, lots of good people watching lol! Dallas ladies love a to dress up and I saw so many fabulous looks on my recent visit. Great place for a date night or dinner with your girls. Highly recommend! Beautiful space with fantastic service!

Walking in, the restaurant immediately impressed us--it was spotless, bright, and very well organized. I loved seeing the area where they make fresh homemade flour tortillas; it really added to the authentic atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, Ms. Chloe, whose friendly smile set the tone for a pleasant visit, and she quickly seated us in a cozy booth in Ms. Rebecca's section. Rebecca was attentive, kind, and efficient throughout our meal, bringing water, chips, and salsa right away and giving us time to comfortably look over the menu. We ordered a side of guacamole, bacon-wrapped shrimp, and the lunch beef burrito with Spanish rice. Although I'm not a seafood eater, my daughter absolutely loved the shrimp and finished every bite, which says a lot. The guacamole was fresh and the overall experience--from the service to the atmosphere--was very enjoyable. The only disappointment for me was the ground beef burrito. It was a bit underwhelming and didn't have the flavor I was hoping for, and I wished I had chosen the steak instead. On a future visit, I'd happily return but will definitely skip the ground beef option and try something else from the menu.

The food is consistently excellent, and we really appreciate that they maintain such high quality every time we visit. Depending on how busy the restaurant is, we'll either wait for a booth or sit at the bar. Unfortunately, we've repeatedly had disappointing experiences with the service at the bar. At first, we assumed it was just an off night, but it's happened several times with the same bartender. We've also noticed that the male bartender seems much more attentive and friendly toward other guests, particularly a group of women seated next to us, which made the difference in service even more noticeable. Despite these experiences, we've continued to tip 20% because the food is always great, and we've never sent anything back. We genuinely enjoy this restaurant and want to keep coming back. I just wish I didn't feel disappointed whenever we end up having to sit at the bar.
