    Guanataco is that spot in Grand Prairie! My fiancée's Hispanic and grew up around amazing tacos, so when even she says a place is good, I know it's legit. Every time we order, the food hits -- flavorful, fresh, and made with care. The tacos are always loaded with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat, warm fresh tortillas, and that chimichurri salsa? Absolute game changer. I love that they never skimp on the cilantro -- it gives everything that fresh, real-deal touch. My go-to is the barbacoa taco -- ridiculously tender and packed with flavor. The fish tacos are spot on too -- crispy, light, and perfectly seasoned. And I'll usually throw in one or two beef tongue tacos every time because they're just that good -- rich, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth legit. We've tried plenty of taco spots nearby, but Guanataco just has that "made with love" vibe. You can tell they care about their food, and it shows in every bite. And look... we always say we're not getting the churros, but somehow they end up in the bag every single time . No regrets -- they're crispy, warm, and the perfect sweet finish. If you're in or near Grand Prairie and want tacos that actually hit, Guanataco is the move.

    Taco plate with carnitas and al pastor. Chips and salsa

    I went here for the first time for dinner since my dad really loves it he wanted us to try it for my sister's bday. There is plenty of seating and you can put tables together for big groups. You order at the counter and then once its ready you will have a beeper that will vibrate to let you know. Food took maybe 15 mins to be ready but that was good time since we ordered alot. I ordered the taco plate and hubby ordered the chicken quesadilla plate. I had horchata and it was good. Chips and salsa are not free but you can order for $5 and its worth it. Chips are crispy and the salsa is so good. They have a salsa bar where you can get different kinds and they are all tasty. The food was very good! Nice and hot and very savory. The quesadilla was huge and tacos were filled with lots of meat. The rice and beans very delicious! Definitely recommend this place. I need to try it for breakfast since they have chilaquiles and those are my fav!

    BURRITOS de barbacoa

    We decided on tacos tonight and chose based on a near me search after running errands. My husband's family is from Guanajuato so the name Guanataco stood out for us ;) Service is really good. Nice and helpful! The place is kept and clean. Great environment and vibe. The food was very decent and the portions are nice! The burrito we ordered was huge! They have a pretty good selection of meats to choose from. We ordered ours with barbacoa. It was loaded with rice, beans, and cheese. My husband and I split it. We also ordered some tacos de fajita and chorizo. The meats had really good flavor but they were just a little dry. I made sure to add lots of lime and salsa to make up for the dry texture. They have several salsas to choose from. I wasn't a fan of their salsa roja. It had a mayo taste to it or something. The chile árbol was delicious and spicy! My favorite. We also had the salsa verde and that one was pretty tasty. I'd come back if I was in the area. I don't think I'd drive out here for it. Overall very decent food with great prices and portions!

    Quirky decor

    This is probably my favorite place to get tacos, elotes, I mean anything! Their chili/salsa bar is amazing. I can't think of the name of my favorite one but it's the light orange one. Its kick hits you in the end , delicioso! So that being said where this is located I can't go very often because of where it's located it triggers a trauma for me. I know TMI, so I get it to go & get out of there. This was a Friday I ordered, went to the bano, marveled at their ambience got my food & left. I totally forgot to take pics of my food, but I can tell you it was delicious & huge I ate it for 3 meals. I ordered the burrito barbacoa & an order of elotes. I did however get pics of the quirky decor. You should really try this place!

    Love the tacos ! I got 4 tacos and a drink for about $10 Definitely coming back!!! Invite your friends and family so delicious

    The tacos were amazing! Al Pastor, Carnita, and Carne Asada with a Barbacoa tostada...great food. The salsa choices were great, too. Cool little place and the service is very good!!

    Caroline Z.

    Al Pastor Tacos, Beef Tacos, Barbacoa Tacos, Chicken Tacos, Churros YUM. These Tacos are amazing. Sooo flavorful, great size, great portion for price. They have so many salsa options, and they're all so yummy. They give you tons of raw and cooked onion, cilantro, and limes to go with your Tacos. And the churros!! Omg the churros were delightful, fluffy and crispy and sweet

    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.

The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

    After picking up my new shoes, it was time to grab lunch, so we headed over to Blue Goose Cantina…read more Even though the parking lot was completely full, we managed to snag a great spot near the front, which felt like a good sign right away. Walking in, the restaurant immediately impressed us--it was spotless, bright, and very well organized. I loved seeing the area where they make fresh homemade flour tortillas; it really added to the authentic atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, Ms. Chloe, whose friendly smile set the tone for a pleasant visit, and she quickly seated us in a cozy booth in Ms. Rebecca's section. Rebecca was attentive, kind, and efficient throughout our meal, bringing water, chips, and salsa right away and giving us time to comfortably look over the menu. We ordered a side of guacamole, bacon-wrapped shrimp, and the lunch beef burrito with Spanish rice. Although I'm not a seafood eater, my daughter absolutely loved the shrimp and finished every bite, which says a lot. The guacamole was fresh and the overall experience--from the service to the atmosphere--was very enjoyable. The only disappointment for me was the ground beef burrito. It was a bit underwhelming and didn't have the flavor I was hoping for, and I wished I had chosen the steak instead. On a future visit, I'd happily return but will definitely skip the ground beef option and try something else from the menu.

My boyfriend and I usually visit every other Friday,…read moreand we almost always order the same meal: the queso, fajitas for two, two skinny margaritas, and dessert. The food is consistently excellent, and we really appreciate that they maintain such high quality every time we visit. Depending on how busy the restaurant is, we'll either wait for a booth or sit at the bar. Unfortunately, we've repeatedly had disappointing experiences with the service at the bar. At first, we assumed it was just an off night, but it's happened several times with the same bartender. We've also noticed that the male bartender seems much more attentive and friendly toward other guests, particularly a group of women seated next to us, which made the difference in service even more noticeable. Despite these experiences, we've continued to tip 20% because the food is always great, and we've never sent anything back. We genuinely enjoy this restaurant and want to keep coming back. I just wish I didn't feel disappointed whenever we end up having to sit at the bar.
