    First time here, restaurant is clean and ordering at the counter was quick and easy. Menu is not overly crowded and seems like all the classics are on there. Ordered the chicken enchilada plate with red sauce. Sat at a booth, lots of room with mostly working folks taking their lunch break. Ambiance is a high 7, everything is clean and there is lots of room for bigger parties. My order came out quickly, delivered by a pleasant server and a "provécho" nod. Food was hot and the first bite of the enchiladas was a 10-star experience! What a killer, homemade, flavorful red sauce! The taste was unexpectedly stellar and the chicken/cheese accompaniment, with lettuce and tomatoes on the side, rendered me beyond content! I confess, this was my third straight day looking for a good place for enchiladas during my lunch break and I know now that this is the right place. The chicken enchilada portion size was huge, with a surprising amount of very good quality breast meat. There's a nice covered patio outside and more menu items for me to explore on my next visit, which are assured. I'll need to spread the word amongst my office co-workers and bring them along next time! Ps. Easy on the wallet!

    The food was amazing. I tried the tacos Pastor and Asada (fajita) and they were a 10/10. Came on thanksgiving night and they were open. Service was fast and friendly! Tacos were BOMB!! and fries were a 5/10, pretty average fries. Ambiance is very texmex and a couple of arcade games here. Im from kansas city and i definitely recommend this place.

    First off, one of the reviewers on here said they had a moldy burger. I'm sorry but not sure why anyone would believe them when they literally had a picture of a bite left. Like, really? Were you you trying to get a free meal and they wouldn't refund BC you ate 99% of your meal and you gave them a 1 star? Anyway...now on to my review. Wow! My Arlington friend recommended this place and am so glad we tried it! We stopped by after the Cowboys game on Sunday evening and it wasn't busy. It's a standard hole in the wall where you order at the front, they give you a number, than take a seat. Restaurant was clean. They had bussers and servers walking around. There are no drink refills since they have soda cans and water bottles. But they are only $1, cheaper than anywhere else. Posole- flavorful, hot 5* Barbacoa tacos - 4* not fatty, juicy and lots of meat to tortilla ratio (not sure what other reviewers were complaining about.) Al pastor - flavorful 5* Horchata - 3* I was excited someone said the best horchata vs other places but it was okay, just really sweet. French fries - 4* crunchy and hot, seasoning was nice This place is actually great. Food did take time coming out but we are not at a fast food restaurant so ‍. Don't be alarmed because I ordered in English and got my order correctly. I did repeat it a couple of times though. My friends ordered in Spanish and had zero complaints.

    No words for this place, this place was out of so many ingredients. The tortillas for the tacos are nothing closed to homemade and they are cold. The staff speaks Spanish and we ordered in Spanish but they still managed to get most of our order wrong. We came here because it is open 24 hours. I do not recommend this place to anyone!

    Pancho tacos never fails to disappoint. We always stop here before our drive back to San Antonio. You order in the front style of restaurant and sit, they bring out, you eat and head out. Very fast service which is super good since I was trying to beat the storm this last time going through Waco. Barbacoa is ALWAYS good and the menudo is a killer. I've had pozole as well and is good for hangovers, haha ! But seriously, I'm gonna have stop here every time I head back to San Antonio just cuz I know that last meal here keeps me coming by back

    Moldy bread. Burger was disgusting. Mediocre service.

    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.

Our niece can to visit for a day and she agreed to join us to eat even though she says where she lives there is tons of Mexican restaurants.

The restaurant reveals itself to be larger once you're inside. It's a cozy dining experience and I liked the cluttered decor of Mexican tchotchkes and liquor bottles. The owners were very kind to reserve tables for our large group and arrange for us all to pay separately. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were very filling - they came with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. I was tempted by the taco salad... some fellow diners ordered it and they were serving size was enormous! Most dishes here seemed well suited to having enough leftovers for the next day.

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.

Their AC was clearly not working, several of the wait staff was using personal fans so clearly they are aware of it. On top of that, our server was very slow, most likely because he was getting gratuity since we had a party of 12 so he didn't have to worry about getting a tip. The food was not great, and we were all soaked with sweat by the end of our meal. I would definitely call ahead and check to see if the AC is working before going here anytime soon.

Got pretty crowded by the time we left around 2:00 rising to a little bit noisy noise level. We got a guacamole side, taco plate, chicken chimichanga, and blue Cancun drink. Everything was pretty good sized. However, the guac and drink respectively were padded with lettuce and ice. Despite the padding, you still got a good amount--just not as much as it appears. The quality of everting was good, nothing was exceptional, but it was above average. The manager, server, and hostess were all very nice and provided good service. The lot was crowded both when we got there and when we left, but we were able to get a spot. Nice place for a casual sit down or business lunch. Give them a try.
