La Guera Street Tacos

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 ended up dumping the meat out and eating the tortilla and condiments. My husband said his order was OK.

It's easily our favorite place for anything birria. From the birria pizza to the tacos, everything is incredible. The dipping consomé is seriously to die for, and the meat is cooked to absolute perfection. The service is great, and the Chicano art painted throughout the restaurant gives the whole place such a cool, authentic vibe. We always share the combo because you get a little bit of everything, and trust me, it will definitely fill you up. Seriously, get it. This is our number one taco spot in DFW, and after your first visit, it might be yours too.

The toilet paper is very far from the toilet and there is only one stall.

This is an order at the counter and you get the little number buzzer. There is a separate counter only for order on line and pick up. Seems to very organized. My sponsor ordered Flautas Pollo. I ordered Burrito Chile Relleno. Unlike most Tex Mex restaurants, you order chips and salsa separately, it does not come complimentary. On the other side, they have a self serve salsa bar. The flavors are unique and I guess authentic, again not Tex Mex. The salsa we ordered was mild. The one salsa we sampled from the open Salsa Bar was too hot for our ability to devour. Would like to return and try a couple more dishes.

It's first-come, first-serve, so we scoped out a table and only waited about 10 minutes. Not bad for a busy night. We ordered two taco plates: one carnitas, one bistec. Both were absolutely killer -- solid 5/5. I also appreciate that they use grilled onions instead of the raw, tear-inducing kind. Bless them for that. We added rice and charro beans on the side, and those were tasty too -- an easy 4/5. Bottom line: delicious food, great vibe, and we're already planning our next visit!

Hot Cheetos fries was what it was all about here as that just screams something I haven't had in a very long time as this style of Mexican food just doesn't really exist in many places away from the west. The hot Cheetos fries were yummy those thin not very good French fries with a bunch of delicious asada on top plenty of the spicy Cheetos and cheese to make it all taste amazing but don't count it out without some of their delicious hot sauce both the milder one and the hotter one were yummy and definitely added more zest to an already yummy pile of goodness! My lady ordered a California burrito and she said she liked it and it was full of flavor even more so with the sauce on top! Overall yummy spot so do yourself a favor and don't skip out on a Mexican place that has one of those names as the food is always good and very similar to others doing this style!
