El Fenix is a fixture here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Food is consistent & service is good. I like to think that this is the â normâ for standard Tex-Mex fare. Itâs not top end but the price is reflective.

Love Freebirds, and this particular location does a really good job of delivering just what you want. Just as all of them, plenty of ingredients to choose from, and all seem fresh. Seems they will trade queso for rice if you don't want rice. Six people working the line to make sure everyone is served quickly and the line doesn't build up. And all super friendly. I will continue to return.

Every day at 8 a.m., we start chopping veggies, soaking beans, and prepping our mesquite-fired grill. Not because we have to, but because we believe in delicious flavors made-to-order, from hand-rolled enchiladas to our sizzling fajitas to guacamole made

Went in to OTB, FtW for a birthday meal, even told the waitress how excited I was to be there actually on my b'day! She had zero enthusiasm. The store was not busy in the least, which was surprising for 6:30pm. We were served with an entire basket of chip crumbs. We dug through the basket best we could to eat queso, but by the time she came back, we were obviously out of salsa too. Instead of just refilling our items, she asked if we needed anything. She never once just refilled anything. We had to ask for everything. By the end of our meal, while waiting for her to pick up our payment, my husband gave up and went to find the manager. He told him our waitress had abandoned us. He made no apology, and got in no hurry He was obviously unconcerned about our service. I've had bad service before but this was by far the absolute worst.. Some days you get lucky at OTB, but most of the time you don't. Rolls downhill apparently.

What fun we all ordered our favorites, guac live, queso with brisket and shrimp tacos. We had a fantastic server and yummy margaritas all followed by the chocolate lovers pinata. So much fun had by adults and our birthday girl.

Real Mexican food is a feast for the senses. From colorful peppers to the sounds of sizzling fajitas all the way to that incredible flavor. Each mouthful is just as much a result of the freshest ingredients as it is a result of the chef's expertise. Abuel

As the "recent reviews of this restaurant" which popped up next to the review form indicate, everyone's take on the place depends on timing, expectations, and taste buds. So, take this for what it is worth. We have been regulars at Abuelos for years. Most of our experience has been with their location on the Airport Freeway at Precinct Line Road. When the Hulen location opened, we were some of the first people to try it out. Here is what we like about it. The service usually is excellent, though there can be exceptions. The food is consistent, and the options are numerous. On this visit, I was a bit disappointed with the Tortilla Soup, but only because some of my other favorite restaurants have variations, I like more. This one was just fine, especially for lunch. Two of my companions ordered nachos and lamented the fact they did not think to split an order. Keep in mind these guys are big eaters, and each asked for to go boxes. I have never had a bad meal here, and am a big fan of their enchilada plates. Their three salsa choices are great, and the chips are consistently light and tasty, but not so thin they break when dipping into the tomatillo sauce. I still recommend the place. Will it be your favorite, I have no idea. That depends on your expectations and tastebuds.

Rosa's Cafe is an upscale, fast-casual restaurant concept. Boasting the attributes of most full-service, sit-down Mexican food restaurants, Rosa's Cafe is unique in having an express drive-thru window to complement their authentic and colorful interior de

The food at Rosa's is ok and their tortillas are really good. We usually enjoy their salad which are always fresh made rather than in a prepacked plastic container. We enjoy the fact that we can sit and visit for a long time without feeling rushed to leave.

2. Rio Mambo

Reviewed By JacksonSE
It's been almost two years since I took a chance on Rio Mambo. This trip was against my better judgment, but my friends like it. It was a mid-week lunch, and I was a bit early. The place was nearly empty, and it never filled up as it has in the past. There were three of us on this visit, instead of the larger group I was with on my last visit. That visit was a disaster because of the way the management handled the seating. This trip bordered on a disaster, but was saved by the server. There is still something basically wrong with the management. They seem to have trouble handling seating requests, and to honor this one, they put us in an empty part of the restaurant. The host/manager who seated us was obviously not happy, and made the comment, "I'll serve you myself." He was clearly implying we were being a problem. Luckily, he disappeared, and very professional and attentive young man worked our table. He was great, the food was very good, and I will give it another shot if it stays open. However, the number of empty tables that day would concern me if I owned the place.

A restaurant with such a reputation and at this price point should train their servers. Ours Saturday night was not just untrained, but offensive. He interrupted. Tried to take our plates away three times before we had eaten. After the second, my friend said, "We just want to finish our dinner!" Oblivious, he came again. I was looking at the extensive wine menu. He asked if I needed advice. I told him I was considering a Barolo, a St Emilion and a California Pinot Noir. He proceeded to explain that the Barolo is Italian, and has Italian herbs. The St. Emiion is French... James should not be offering wine advice. He reached in front of our guest's face to fill her neighbor's glass. This is not James's fault. It is the manager who put him on the floor without training. We provided this info in a comment card. No response.
