    Chicken with sautéd mushrooms
    Kelly O.

    It was good, but nothing fantastic/memorable/ or special. We got a chicken dish and the fajitas. Their chips were thin and fresh. The salsa had a slight spice. I liked how they bring a few different salsas to the table. The food was not bad. We got the flour tortillas to go with fajitas and they are not house made. They were thick and not great. Their corn ones are made on site , but I didn't try those. Overall, service was good, restaurant was clean and nice inside, the food was okay. Homemade flour tortillas will definitely elevate things !

    Went here for an unplanned lunch graduation celebration. The original place had over an hour wait (it was Mother's Day) and this place was near by and quick. We were greeted by the manager and all the women were presented with a rose. Very nice touch. There were 7 of us and we were seated pretty quickly. The inside is spacious and very clean/tidy. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Drinks were great and refilled promptly. The food was good. Served promptly, hot and fresh. If in the area we would return.

    Came in on a friday evening for dinner and it did not disappoint. We were seated quickly which is always a plus. Our waiter was over just as quick to grab our drink order. lots to choose from from fresh crafted or frozen cocktails to wine, tea and soft drinks! The menu had plenty of meat forward and vegetatarian options which was great for our group. I really enjoyed the aray of veggies in the chimichanga and the veggie taquitos were great as well! A few different salsas to choose from it's sure to please everyone! Lively and intimate decor/ lighting inside. I will definitely be back and hoping they make their way to Austin or surrounding area!

    Took advantage of Happy Hour and ordered a couple margaritas, combo Quesadilla and a grilled steak & cheese chile relleno (Poblano). Chips and three salsas were complimentary, service, food, drinks and the overall ambiance was very good. We will be back!

    This is one of the best kept secrets in Arlington. This mexican restaurant has a wonderful ambiance and everything on the menu is fabulous.You can't go wrong!! The staff is always courteous and kind in accommodating. I've been here a few other times but I'm just now doing a review. So today, I had the chicken burrito? And it was humongous. You can eat off of that thing for 2 days or if it's enough for two people. And everything on the menu is at a great price point. And it's around the holidays, so go and check them out because they always decorate nice for christmas.

    Sour cream chicken enchiladas

    Came here for my birthday we waited about 5 mins to be seated and we had a big group so not bad. We ordered drinks and queso. It was very good! I ordered the sour cream chicken enchiladas and my husband ordered grilled chicken and my son the brisket tacos. We all enjoyed our food! Definitely will come back and recommend it! You will enjoy it as much as we did!

    Husband and I have been regulars of another Mexican restaurant in the area but it's quite a drive from our house and I saw some posts about this place on Nextdoor in the Viridian posts. Decided that since it's so much closer we should give it a try. This place has seriously put a damper on my yelp posts because it is so good that it's our go-to now. We have tried both crispy and soft tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, queso, guacamole, churros and tres leches cake. Everything, and I mean everything has been so good. I am a crispy taco fan and there's are amazing. The portions are huge, even told the manager that they could cut back and make more money. It's a lot y'all. Anyhow I've also tried the house and premium margaritas and both were excellent and you "feel" them! Not whimpy on the alcohol at all. Highly recommend this place, even the three salsas are excellent. Just go!

    Had been here for happy hour but never dinner. The bar area is a good size and is open seating for all table tops, bar itself and booths. The margaritas are delicious and strong. I definitely recommend the quesadillas. They are filled well with meat and mushrooms and onions and come with avocado and salsa. The "hot" salsa they offer was my favorite and wasn't overly spicy. I ended up getting dinner to go and their packaging was perfect to where notning spilled at all

    Brisket tacos
    Iris S.

    I came here with a group of friends for an early dinner on a Sunday, it was not very busy at all. My sangria was pretty decent, and the food was fine. Not the best, not the worst. Service was not great, our waitress really didn't seem to want to be bothered with us. And kept going to another table to sit down and eat? If she needed dinner they honestly should have given our table to someone else. Additionally, when it was time for each of us to pay for our portions of the meal they added in the tip but were shady about it being added (it was almost hidden on the receipt) and had a separate spot for the tip again.... I have never seen anything like it and a few people in my group DOUBLE tipped for really sub-par service. I do not not mind tipping well, but please don't try to trick us. For that alone I don't think I would come back.

    Found this place after the original restaurant I wanted to go to was closed.. Great service, food and the mango margarita was perfect - my new go to!

    Margaritas were delicious! The food was not though it was very inauthentic wouldn't go back to eat but the restaurant was nice and clean and the waitstaff was very friendly but the food was just not worth it at all if you are looking for some good drinks though this is the place to go!

    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.

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.

Waited forever to get a table. Watching at least five groups (inside where we were waiting for and they weren't small groups) get sat as we waited for them to put two tables together. I just hate how servers nowadays thinking they get 20% for doing nothing... wish that would change.
