    Kids breakfast

    La Rueda has become our favorite weekend breakfast place! Delicious food and great variety. From fresh menudo to the sizzling La Rueda skillet. I can never get enough! Very clean, open atmosphere and the servers are always so pleasant and welcoming

    Al la Mexicano.

    Fantastic menu and prices are very reasonable. Service was fast, efficient and Texas friendly. Food csme out fast and hot. Love the rustic texas decor. Love the fact the breakfast potatoes are cooked on griddle not deep fried.

    On my very first visit to La Rueda Restaurant on Oakland Blvd., not too crowded!! Gotta love this best place to have breakfast on the weekends!!

    Potato, egg and cheese breakfast tacos

    Great food for a very good price! We never walk away spending more than $20-$25 for the 2 of us. Service can be hit or miss at times, but the servers are very nice and usually pretty quick to get you anything they forgot. Besides serving your standard Mexican food, they do have a few veggie options, including cheese quesadillas, cheese enchiladas and chiles rellenos. We've brought different friends here several times and they always leave satisfied (and have continued coming back). We've been here plenty of times for their breakfast and dinner. La Rueda is BYOB so bring a bottle of champagne and turn your breakfast into a brunch or bring your favorite beer for dinner! Definitely recommend this place.

    Beef. Fajita. Burrito. Those are three glorious words. Here's a few more.... Fresh made salsa, fresh made guacamole and all coming from a little house down Oakland in East Fort Worth. One of the guys at work had been here and liked it so that was good enough to try it out. All there is is a neon "Open' sign and a green house. It does not say La Rueda outside the building, if you pass it, you end up on Lancaster, and at night, that's not a fun place to be. So don't pass it. Now for this beef fajita burrito($5.50). Stuffed with rice, beans, onions, cheese and of course lots of tasty, tasty meat. I topped it with the guac, salsa and even got fresh chopped jalapenos to cover it with. You have choices of chicken, brisket, taco beef or fajita beef. The salsa is fresh and has a great snap to it. If you don't like spicy you may be afraid, but I loved it. The guacamole was creamy and had a little bit of chunk to it. Some of the other menu items include flautas, enchiladas and biztek, There are also American options like brisket and fried chicken. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and are open all seven days of the week. Most all options are under $10.00 and it looks like a place I will return to. They have a small parking lot and it's small inside as well, so not alot of seating but it is worth a stop. Enjoy.

    New exterior color (2015). Same great food.

    The place has an updated look on the exterior. The bright green paint is gone, replaced by a soft tan color. Inside, the food is just as good as always. The regular salsa is much tamer now, but if you want the spicy stuff, just ask for the green salsa. It will kick your a--. Still BYOB.

    Got exactly what I ordered and it is amazing!!! Salsa was extremely flavorful all on its own.

    Special combo w/ chicken enchiladas and chicken taco

    We eat at "the wheel" quite often. The food always comes out fast and the portions are huge. I almost always leave with enough leftovers to form another meal. Even when the whole building is full and we were seated upstairs, we had our order within 10 minutes of placement. On my last visit I got a beef burrito that was gigantic and under $6. I didn't think it was going to be this big. My wife usually orders the La Rueda platter, which comes with a taco, chalupa, enchilada, rice and beans. They'll give you a free to-go fountain drink or iced tea if you ordered one with your meal. The FWPD sure likes La Rueda. There's usually a couple of officers in there grubbing down. Lots of city employees, firefighters, and dog catchers frequent the restaurant. If you're a chips and salsa aficionado - you'll enjoy a visit. The cold salsa is delicious and full of flavor, and the chips are thin, warm, with the perfect amount of salt. I've eaten enough chips to wish I made a smaller meal order before. Wednesday (beef) and Friday (chicken) are lunch fajita specials for 5.99, which is a spectacular deal. The brisket sandwich is excellent and the same price daily.

    Chicken quesadilla (Monday special $6.50) YUM!

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.

The outdoor seating is so charming lush plants, colorful flowers, and a peaceful fountain that makes you want to stay awhile. I had the chicken fajita bowl, and it was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. The margaritas were definitely tempting but I behaved and stuck with water... next time for sure. Only minor thing, there was water on the floor going into and inside the bathroom, which could be a slipping hazard. A "wet floor" sign would definitely help. Beautiful atmosphere, relaxed vibe. Such a great little getaway in the middle of the day.

    We were recently in Ft Worth and decided to give Joe T Garcia's a try. We had been about 15 years…read moreago and were not impressed then. But we always hear people talk about how great Joe T's is so we thought maybe we just an isolated bad experience 15 years ago. But this time, it was even worse. Maybe people don't speak unfavorably out of fear of being shamed for not praising this "institution"? We arrived on a Wednesday at 5:30 so fortunately our unpleasant experience was not further worsened with a wait. The patio is still very beautiful and umbrellas were positioned to provide ample shade. But the fly situation was very annoying and could probably be helped with the spinning devices on tables or fans spread throughout the patios. The beauty of the patio doesn't compensate enough to endure the flies. The service started out good with waters, chips/salsa brought instantly. But within 15 minutes the service rapidly declined as more customers were seated. It was very tedious to the point of annoying to get refills on our drinks. Literally within 2-3 minutes of ordering we asked our waitress to switch one of the fajita orders from chicken to beef. She initially said "oh I'm sorry but I JUST put the order in". We looked puzzled and said "ok then it shouldn't be a problem changing it?" She went on to explain that she would add the beef to our table and just switch the chicken order to another table next to us who ordered chicken that she had not put in yet. All of that sounded very bizarre but the food was correct when it was delivered our table. At the time the plates were brought we requested a side of sour cream but it didn't come. After 5-10 minutes we spotted our server and requested it from her. But we still never got the sour cream. As I was paying the tab my daughter noticed that we were charged for an extra chicken fajita. So even though the server got the beef fajita added right after we ordered, she didn't take the chicken off the bill. She adjusted it once we pointed out the error. The food was the biggest disappointment out of all of it. I will always give grace to sub par service or atmosphere if the food is great. I say this with the utmost sincerity, I've had more flavorful beef and chicken at Chipotle. The chicken was so dry and served in big chunks which made it even tougher to chew. I seriously could not detect a hint of any seasoning, not even salt. It was very hot but not like the traditional sizzling fajita hot, more like it had been sitting in a heating pan or under heat lamps. For way too long. The beef was a tad bit easier to chew than the chicken but just as bland. The queso that we ordered tasted like canned cheese sauce watered down with chicken or vegetable broth and a tablespoon of pico added. The portion sizes of the entrees, the tortillas, the pico, the guacamole were all very generous. It's just a shame that it doesn't taste good.

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 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 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.
