We were in the Mansfield area after an appointment, and it was dinner time. TexMex sounded good so we headed to Mexican Inn Cafe never lets us down. Bring on the margaritas and those addictive "Frito" style chips. Lovem, love, love them! It was a bit early before the dinner run. We were seated immediately. Just like magic, a hot basket of chips and salsa appeared at our table. OH YUMMY The chips were nice and hot. The restaurant was quiet. I love the decor of this location. Shortly, we were greeted by Bre, our server for the evening. She was delightful and so friendly. We ordered two frozen margaritas. She asked is we wanted and appetizer. I smiled and pointed to the chips; that's my appetizer! In a flash Bre was back at our table with our frozen margaritas. My wife decided on the "Pick Two, "a crispy beef taco and a guacamole chalupa. I decided on a new entree the Birria Quesadilla Tacos. I've had birria tacos elsewhere. They're so good but SO messy to eat. Both of our platters came with rice and beans. My wife and I had a great time people watching and making up our very own stories about them. We have a lot of fun doing that while we're out. Here's come Bre with our two platters! Yumminess and deliciousness can't be very far off. Both of our entrees were delicious. Everything we've come to expect when dining at one of the Mexican Inn Cafe locations. Yep, my birria tacos were a whole lot of fun and messy to eat. But they were delicious. Bre took excellent care of us while we were there. We'll see all again soon. read more

Had the fajitas. Barely any veggies. It was all onions. Skimping on the peppers and the lettuce, cheese and sour cream. Sad. Pretty crappy food. read more

The corn chips along with the tortilla chips with salsa is an incredibly unique and delicious touch - the specialty drinks are very good - the entrees are simply average in a mexican restaurant heavy area - those corn chips save the experience and make you think twice about going elsewhere read more

The service was outstanding. Our waitress, Rachel, was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was incredible, tasty and filling. We sat in the bar area and the vibe was very good. The entire visit was exactly what we wanted...highly recommend!! read more

Mexican Inn Cafe - Combination Lunch Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

Had a late lunch here on a Sunday afternoon, we were surprised that they weren't that busy. I feel like Mexican Inn is a go to in Mansfield. The biggest kudos of all goes to their staff. From the hostess, to the guy who brought our chips, our waitress, then the girl brought our food... each person was so friendly & attentive. If I owned a restaurant I'd want people like them to work there. The chips (both kinds) were just really greasy. Don't get me wrong, we still ate them & it wasn't all of them but I'd say a third or half of them you could see the oil glisten on the chip. My friend had also ordered a pick three combo, they got her enchiladas wrong (requested two chicken, one cheese - got all chicken) & we were starving so she dealt with it. Mistakes happen, it was still good though. I couldn't decide what to get so I had the sampler. The beef quesadillas I liked the best - great portion of beef inside of it with tender meat. The chicken flautas were good too... but again, very greasy. Nachoes were so-so, topped generously & that was appreciated! We also had fresh corn tortillas with butter that came out before the meal, don't pass on these. I'll still come back but I do hope they can cut down on the grease a bit! read more

This place was really nice inside and I thought the workers were very efficient and polite. The food was delicious and very affordable! I absolutely loved it and will be coming back! read more

We were seated right away. Waited 45 min before we got served. Food is not authentic, service was not good.

Always great atmosphere and fabulous food. Price is great. Never disappoints. we had the queso blanco. I had the taco salad and it was all delish!!! read more

Our waiter was quick and helpful with suggestions. Wish we listen to him on the guacamole over the thin greasey queso. I liked the combination of fritos and corn chips. Nothing special about the salsa, it had a good heat level, but pretty much a can of pureed tomatoes. Sweet tea was good and right amout of sweet. Our meals came out extremely hot. I really enjoyed the charro beans and rice the best. Rest of the meal was just their to pick at. That's what I did, I piked at the enchilada verity on the dinner plate. Really disappointed in the sourcream enchilada, been sitting in some kind of heater so long all the sourcream was dryed up. i thought overall it was very bland for mexican food. The good service bumped my review from 2 to a 3, not the food. read more

We ordered a margarita and a Strawberry Colada - BUG and yummy! There are 2 types of chips: tortilla and then ones that only they make - kinda like Fritos but lighter. Loved them! We ordered the combo fajitas and was easily able to share them. We moved to the Kennedale area about four months ago and have been looking to replace our Mexican North Dallas area. When we come the next time, we will order queso and will know if this is the place! Great service as well! read more

First time here. Warm welcome. Seated quickly. Booth and table were clean. Bryana was our server and she was awesome! Very friendly and attentive. She recommended the queso blanco, brisket tacos and brisket enchiladas. The queso, enchiladas, and rice were delicious. Refried beans were runny and tasteless. We also tried the sopapillas but sent them back because they weren't done. Overall a good experience. read more

The food is awesome. The chips and salsa are unlike any other place. So light and crispy, I could make a meal of them. And the sweet tea was perfect. The waitress was very attentive and the service was quick and friendly. All in all it's a great place to dine. The one thing that takes away from all stars is the choice of background music. I am old school in that when I eat at a Mexican place I like to hear Mexican music not hip hop. Guess I'll just have to remember my ear buds and iPod when dining there again. LOL read more

Best chips and hot sauce in town! Always good service love it been coming for years!!!!!

Service 4/10 Chicken enchiladas 6/10 (not stuffed, and tortilla hard to cut, sour cream sauce was amazing! Cheese enchiladas 6/10 exact same reason as about. Fajitas 8/10 beef tasted amazing BUT THEY ONLY PROVIDED 8 PIECES OF MEAT, I did get a good amount of onions (only 2 peppers on the whole plate) and onions tasted amazing Flour Tortillas 8/10 they were soft and tasted really good, but most had holes in them or were bent which was sad considering we were sitting next to theblady making them Salsa 3.5/10 there was a mild & hot kind served. I'm super picky on my salsas, the hot wasn't very hot, but was heavily seasoned I didn't like. The mild was ok/good, but it wasn't fresh, chunky salsa. The initial tass that hit my mouth was tomato paste. Chips 7.5/10 there was regular chips that were so salty I couldn't eat, they tasted and reminded me of Tostitos chips, yuck. Then the other half of the bucket was what looked like frito at first glance. I time them and they were definitely different, and really good! They are like a larger frito size, airy and crunchy. As you can see I got a refill of those! Lived in Mansfield 5 years and haven't ever been here until lastnight. The service was, well, not service. The waitress literally said, I'm here to take your order. When asked for more chips or drink, it took a really long time. She waited to bring it until she brought out the next order for another table. read more

Food was excellent as always.. Naomi is an excellent waitress.cannot wait to come visit again

Beef Fajitas are delicious ! Service good will be back next time to have a marg as well!

Bryana was very rude from when we walked in, my husband being in a wheelchair she tried to put us in a booth, then when asked for a table she took us to the table and didn't remove a chair for my handicap husband to get into the table which is standard at most restaurants. We've eaten here and highly recommend it in the past but today was treated horribly. Asked for the manager Eric who came out bias towards his employee who was just talking bad about us to her fellow colleague and rolling their eyes at us. When I explained all of this to Eric he was basically laughing at the fact that I told him his employee was being disrespectful and discriminating against my husband in a wheel chair. I asked for names and corporate phone number and he basically was telling us to leave in a rude way and getting in our faces at the door. I called the number he gave and it was a wrong number. Pretty sure it was intentional. Horrible customer service and won't be back. This happened on the morning of February 19th right at open just incase he lied about the names like he did with the phone number, hopefully the owners sees this and knows how his restaurant is being ran. read more

Came early and got excellent service and food! Great atmosphere. Come early and enjoy the food and service.

This was a pretty decent spot for a TexMex meal. With the exception of guacamole, the prices were right. The food and drink were delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. The service was also spot on - thank you, Kayla!! Looking forward to going back and trying dessert! read more

Was just there and the service sucks. Didn't bring plates for appetizers. Took 10 min to bring back change(not busy at all). The waitresses were loud in the back and just talking to each other and not checking on tables. Queso was cold. Service was not good. read more

Six of us went for lunch today. Got sat right away. Server very attentive and friendly. Got our drinks chips and salsa out quickly. Ordered queso with tortillas, came out fast. We ordered our entrees. Food was brought out very fast. Taco salad was fresh and plenty of ingredients but could have used a bit more meat but was very tasty. Everyone was pleased and food and service was very good. We always go back and will again. Love their frito style chips. read more

Service was excellent, food was absolutely delicious, the fresh homemade corn tortillas with butter before the meals arrived were soooo yummy - could have made a meal out of those alone, and the margaritas were oh-my-gosh d'bomb!! Really enjoyed watching the corn tortillas being made. The ambience... casual, comfortable, and not too loud at lunch time. We will definitely return. read more

I ordered rice and beans for party, they had the best prices. Food was decent, customer service was awesome. The manager who gave me pricing was very helpful. The restaurant itself looked really nice inside. Will have to come back to try more food. read more

It was a great experience. Our waitress Karla was excellent Food was good too!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to the Mexican Inn Cafe yesterday. The service was incredible. I had this woman with bangs serve me, and she was fantastic. She was so sweet and heartfelt, and gave me all the food correctly and quickly. Food was pretty good as well, the fajitas being my favorite. Bangs woman was again great! 10/10 service do recommend! read more

These five stars are tough to earn with me. But this is after visiting several times. Each time, the hosts/hostesses greeted us at the front. We were always brought chips and salsa within a minute; each time they explained about the hot and mild. The front of house management was always visible. The tex mex plates (enchiladas and such) came out hot and fast. So across four visits, the front of house staff, the servers, the bussing staff, and the kitchen were all highly consistent in their service. That's hard to do, but that means the management there is really working with the staff. If you haven't been in a while, I suggest you put them on your list. read more

Service was awful. Ashley was our waitress who ignored us most of the meal. When she did come she was extremely rude. The manager Eric came over and asked me why I had so many coupons? Very unprofessional and I am calling and reporting to corporate. read more

Quesadillas were awful! Too much onions and hardly any cheese or meat in each piece of the quesadilla. Barely even hot. They fell apart because not enough cheese to hold them together. Just awful! The queso was good. Don't think I will be back though. This place has gone down hill. it used to be really good. Not anymore. read more

I love the fact that the food is always hot and delicious!! Service is excellent!!! We eat here all the time!!

Absolutely delicious food , we had the fajitas and the meat was delicious , juicy and tender. No nerve endings! It was perfect! We also had the beef nachos, queso it was soooo good! The tortilla chips are amazing! They make them fresh and the tortillas made on site! I want to go back already! I have the steak quesadillas, comes with rice and beans and they were delicious! Next time I'm gonna order the fajitas I was really impressed with how delicious they were. We received amazing customer service ! Everyone was attentive. We had our chips refilled as well as our drinks. It's under new management I believe, and the manager is doing awesome along with the employees. It's so good. Right now it's opened Monday- Friday 4pm till close and on Saturday and Sunday they open at 11am. So excited it's so close to home. I'll be coming back! Lots of parking! Next to spring creek bbq. Great location! read more
