Carmen's Enchilada & Taco plate
Darlene W.

We have lived in Joshua over 30 years and shamefully are just now trying this restaurant! We've missed out!!! Delicious meal today I tried vegetarian quesadillas with black beans and corn very good. My husband had the Carmen's enchilada taco plate...he's picky and he enjoyed it immensely was talking about his next visit before he finished! It was nice to have Wayne (owner) come around to see if we were enjoying the meal! I didn't catch the waitress name but she did a great job, kept our beverages full and brought more chips & hot sauce. Portions are large you won't leave hungry!

Saw this place on Restaurant Impossible and drove over an hour to try it. As of now, the name on the outside and on all social media still says "Fun Time Cafe" but the interior and the menus say "CW's." You walk in to a wall commemorating Robert Irvine's time with them. And the decor throughout looks bright, clean, and colorful. We ordered the Patty Melt Burrito and the Pork Ribs. Both tasted good and were cooked well, but the ribs were easily the star of the show! Wow! They fell off the bone and were bursting with flavor. Mixed with the pineapple slaw, it was even better. Also, the staff was SUPER kind and friendly. They'll make you like coming just in their demeanor. You can tell they take pride in their work. It was a fun, worthwhile trip with my daughter! Cool experience.

I'm a vegetarian. Cook makes my special every time. Delicious every time. A quiet neighborhood tex-mex restaurant whose parking lot stays full. Service is excellent. Walls are Loaded with Texas Trivia, pictures, great smiles

Chicken enchiladas

Our new go to! Service was great food was delish. A little unassuming on the outside. We walked in and it was clean and happy. Cute place and you can't beat the Tuesday night special.

Solid 4 stars, food is tasty, Nachos are excellent, Chicken fried steak was really good, side salad was shredded iceberg lettuce with a excellent tomato and cheese topping ( made a poor salad a good one ) service was attentive and friendly. Iced tea was really good, the coke machine is in need of brixing ( adjusting the syrup to carbonated water ratio ). Since they are 100 percent locally owned I really like the place and will continue to support it. Dining area is amazingly clean. Byob if you like/need adult beverages. Back patio for the smokers. We spent just over 10 bucks a person and left stuffed, your results may vary. If you are in the area it is worth the stop to fill your belly, strategically placed near the Chisolm Trail Toll Road and FM 917.

Street tacos (pastor)

What a great little place, just off the highway! Our server was incredibly friendly, which completed added to the entire experience! The food was fresh, salsa was amazing, and overall our table of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our meal! We will definitely be back to support this small local business!

Back patio, event area. Seats about 30

After a change in ownership, it's now called CW's Authentic Tex Mex . It's cute on the inside as it was recently updated on an episode of Restaurant Impossible. It feels like going back in time when restaurants were a place where communities came together. The owner and chef even came out to visit the table. It is BYOB! People were greeting each other and visiting, which was nice to watch. You can tell most everyone here is a regular by they way they were greeted by the servers. It's a great place for families, especially those who feel todays prices make it hard for a family to eat out. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions generous. We tried many things, the Fajitas were our favorite with the Chile Reno being a close second. There is a private space in the screened in patio at the back where you can host private events. They allow the cost of your party's food to cover the private space, and require a week or so notice. The menu has several options and the prices are very reasonable, and the portions good size. When doing an event you can order off menu, (which can take longer), or set a menu like fajitas, taco bar, and other options. Overall, I would say this place is a family owned gem we as a community should support!

Food was good. I'd go back and try something different. Service was good, it was slow so I wouldn't have expected otherwise.

Food was not good at all. Way too many items to choose from so nothing can be great. Ours was awful.

Great BURGERS for sure, looks like a hole in the wall but the food is great. Hot and Delicious…read morethat is for sure. All three burgers were delicious, had two (2) REAL TREATS and (1) SLIM JIM. They had Coke Zero that McDonald's does not have any more. We sat outside the weather was perfect for it. Service was excellent and spot on. Wishing you guys the best and much more success God Bless you all.

My husband and I stopped by this small, locally owned hamburger place on a rainy afternoon. The…read moreowner wasn't there at first, and a woman who was helping run things greeted us and took our order. She was very direct and told us upfront it would be about a 20-minute wait, which I appreciated. While we waited, I sat in the car listening to the thunder and rain. There was something peaceful and simple about that moment and I loved it. My husband stayed inside to wait for the food. During that time, a couple came back in upset about the wait and asked for their money back. The owner had just returned from a family event and was clearly trying her best to make things right. Even when the couple was rude, she handled it with grace and empathy, saying, "I'm sad that we failed you." It was such a human moment. One that showed how much she cares about her customers and her business. And our hamburgers were absolutely delicious! Definitely worth the wait. I enjoyed everything about this experience. Support small businesses like this one, friends! It's a hidden gem where real people work hard and care deeply about what they serve.
