We've been here several times already. I ordered Tilapia Monte Fresca, which was grilled with a creamy sauce and shrimp on top. It was super delicious. The chili rellenos are good as well as fish or shrimp tacos. The bloody Mary's and Pina colada's are pretty good too.Parking: It's located in the shopping center with Tom Thumb so there's plenty of parking options.

We had lunch here on a Saturday. We ordered the Tamale Plate, Kids Cheese Quesadilla, Taco Plate, and La Bendicion Plate (like a sampler plate). They also brought out chips and salsa. Overall, the food was good. Good service.

We got this as takeout to an Air Bnb near AT&T stadium. It was delicious. I got the fish tacos blackened and my husband got the chicken and fajitas burrito. Neither disappointed and it was plenty of food!

I Live around the corner and finally went in to try it out tonight. (Thursday night 6:30pm) we weren’t greeted and finally sat after standing there for five minutes I approached the waitress and ask if we could sit at one of the 5 empty booths. We sat ordered drinks and that was the last we saw of our waitress. Another 25 minutes passed with no waters and no drinks and still haven’t ordered food so we decided to leave.The Atmosphere was very lack luster and too bright.If you go definitely plan on waving down your waitress.

Tonight, my husband and I brought my father-in-law to this lovely restaurant for the first time (to dine in). Based simply on reviews, we ordered take-out last week and were not disappointed. My husband thought we'd enjoy dining-in and after that first order, I knew there were other menu choices that I wanted to try, like Chile Relleno. (Everyone has something that they use as their personal barometer for testing, to see if they want to explore more menu options, etc. ) For me, it was chicken enchiladas. It was so good that I knew I wanted to try more. (I'm always on a quest to find the best Chile Relleno). It's clear that everything is made fresh to order. The salsa was delicious with just the right amount of heat to complement the crispy chips promptly brought to our table as we were perusing the menu. The Relleno was grilled, not fried , filled with delicious chicken and topped with a red sauce that reminded me of my mother's wonderful Tex-mex. The charro beans were delicious enough to be a meal of its own. My husband got a plate featuring chicken enchiladas, a taco al carbon, as well as a crispy taco. My father-in-law chose the chef's special featuring salmon topped with a creamy mushroom sauce, so tasty that he brought the remainder home to eat throughout the weekend. . We all ordered margaritas and they were delicious! I saw that they make the Sangria in-house (as all truly wonderful Sangria should be) so I ordered the Sangria Swirl margarita which was so perfectly balanced that I drank almost all of it! We were so satisfied that we took our sopapillas to go to enjoy later. This restaurant is tucked away in a strip center near Tom Thumb, so don't expect Abuelos' decor. But, it was clean, well lit and despite 2 large screen TVs, we were able to talk and enjoy conversation without the effort required at many other restaurants. On this busy Friday night, we were seated immediately upon arrival and had no problems navigating a wheelchair to a comfortable table. Our waitress, Katherine (sp?) was attentive and knowledgeable, and we were very happy to have chosen to spend our date-night at this long-needed and deserving addition to our choices of wonderful Tex-Mex dining in north Arlington. I can't wait to further sample the menu here and hope it becomes a place where 'everyone knows your name'. We are relatively new to the area and have been looking for a place like this since we arrived. I hope they are prosperous and stay a very long time. If you haven't tried this place yet, don't hesitate to do so. (Still reading Yelp reviews? Run, don't walk! Delicious food awaits!)

In town for an event and decided to give this place a chance. The chips and salsa was delicious! The brisket tacos were a little bland, but the hot sauce did add some much needed flavor. Great price point and atmosphere. If I'm in the area I would definitely return.

My wife and I went here for the first time this evening. The salsa was great even though it’s chilled. She got the Morgan plate (three enchiladas-beef, cheese, chicken) and I got the carne asada. She liked all three enchiladas (she normally doesn’t like at least one). The carne asada was very tender and had good flavor. For dessert, I got the blackberry cobbler which was excellent. We will definitely come back. Our server was attentive and kind as well.

Great food, great service, great prices. The owner Taylor came over and introduced himself. Everyone was friendly and the food was brought out quickly. The nachos were perfect because they were topped per chip and not just stacked up. I prefer this. We will be back for sure.
Hannah M.
Best service and the owner is very active in his restaurant. The food is amazing and the salsa (which we rely on the flavor heavily when choosing a Tex mex restaurant) was superb. Worth every cent!

So unfortunately this restaurant just didn't do it for me. However, I did give them two stars due to the customer service and the chips/salsa. On to the food, so I ordered the shrimp stacked enchiladas and when I tell you the food had zero flavor. This could possibly be the most bland Mexican food I've ever had. Honestly, Taco Cabana has more flavor in their food. My shrimp tasted like it came straight from the water and also the food wasn't warm. Furthermore, the rice had a stale taste but I will say the black beans were pretty good. The staff is truly nice and they have good chips and salsa, trust me I really wanted to like this restaurant but they came up short regarding the flavor. On a brighter note, our waitress Katherin was super sweet and was very understanding when I expressed my concers about my entrée. Maybe it was just an off night, I'm unsure as this was my first visit. If this restaurant could increase the flavor by seasoning the food, then they would be unstoppable.

My husband and I came here tonight and ordered some drinks and dinner. One of the drinks wasn’t what my husband was expecting and he was a little disappointed. The owner, Taylor, offered to remake the drink and it was great! We love coming here. The food, service, and atmosphere are all amazing. Our favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in Arlington!
