No. 1 (3) Tacos plate

While in Fort Worth for a training my colleague and I sought out a local, hole in the wall Mexican joint for lunch- Josefina's did NOT disappoint! Service was great! Our food was flavorful from the salsa to the appetizer (Best Friends: bean dip, queso and guacamole) and on to our entrees! So much food, for not a big cost! My only complaint was I had to return to the training and not enjoy a cesta! Next time we are in the area we will go back!

Carnitas

What a cute little restaurant! The furnishings are pretty simple, nothing fancy, but make your way back to the restrooms and you'll see the cutest lotería paintings on the wall! That added to the ambiance. It was clean and cool, and it is a byob. They start you out with chips and salsa and their salsa is delicious! It is similar to Mi Cocinas and Taco Diner. I could drink it! I like that they give you individual servings of salsa too. I ordered the carnita plate with double beans. The carnitas were made to perfection and the beans were delicious! I also ordered some green salsa to go with it, which my daughter recommended as it is creamy. It was good. The service was excellent! The young girl was easy to talk to and was very attentive. I can't wait to go back!

Really, really good. Super reasonable on pricing and the food is tasty. The best Mexican rest we have tried in Fort Worth. Taco's were perfect and the salsa has the right kind of kick, just enough for your nose to run. A must try. We will be back!

Stopped by on a Saturday 5/20 for a quick lunch. Was quickly greeted and seated at a table with some fun art behind us. This place came recommended and was looking forward to the menu. Service was good, nothing out of the ordinary. Our drink order was taken quickly along with a small queso. I love that they had Mexican cokes and Jarritos. Ordered a beef enchilada plate for the kiddo and I ordered the macho man. Everything was hot, prompt and for the most part good. My 12 year old is the queso connoisseur and judges on salsa and queso. She said the queso tasted out of the can and I personally have to agree. There was nothing special about it, just a heavy thick bowl of cheese. She enjoyed the enchiladas, she said the chile con carne over the top tasted like a tamale. Macho man was very good, it's def hot and wonderful flavor. All in all a good lunch. I didn't know they had breakfast so next time around I'll have to try that out.

Ordered the menudo. Good flavor! Did not have oregano when I asked for some they brought powdered oregano. Had more hominy than menudo.

La Cabrona - Quesabirria Tacos

The dishes were truly traditional, full of flavor, and the aguas frescas were delicious. Our server was attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations that ended up being some of our favorite plates. Overall, the service, food, and atmosphere made this a standout experience. I'd recommend La Cabrona to anyone in the Ft. Worth area looking for genuine Mexican cuisine.

When we were first seated, we were given chips with a variety of dips, including mild and medium salsa and beans with mole. We assumed the beans had something like birria in them, but after we had already started eating, the waiter came and told us they contained pork. That's something that should definitely be communicated upfront, especially for guests who don't eat pork. Unfortunately, things didn't improve from there. My friend ordered a Sprite, and the glass it came in was visibly dirty, with green particles floating in the drink. While waiting to order our main dishes, we also noticed that the water pitcher placed on our table was not clean. At that point, we felt uncomfortable continuing our meal and decided to leave and go somewhere else. It's a shame because the place really is beautiful. Adding two stars because my drink was good and the queso was okay.

Stopped by Joe T. Garcia's for a quick lunch on my way to a conference and it ended up feeling like…read morea mini escape. The outdoor seating is so charming lush plants, colorful flowers, and a peaceful fountain that makes you want to stay awhile. I had the chicken fajita bowl, and it was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. The margaritas were definitely tempting but I behaved and stuck with water... next time for sure. Only minor thing, there was water on the floor going into and inside the bathroom, which could be a slipping hazard. A "wet floor" sign would definitely help. Beautiful atmosphere, relaxed vibe. Such a great little getaway in the middle of the day.

We were recently in Ft Worth and decided to give Joe T Garcia's a try. We had been about 15 years…read moreago and were not impressed then. But we always hear people talk about how great Joe T's is so we thought maybe we just an isolated bad experience 15 years ago. But this time, it was even worse. Maybe people don't speak unfavorably out of fear of being shamed for not praising this "institution"? We arrived on a Wednesday at 5:30 so fortunately our unpleasant experience was not further worsened with a wait. The patio is still very beautiful and umbrellas were positioned to provide ample shade. But the fly situation was very annoying and could probably be helped with the spinning devices on tables or fans spread throughout the patios. The beauty of the patio doesn't compensate enough to endure the flies. The service started out good with waters, chips/salsa brought instantly. But within 15 minutes the service rapidly declined as more customers were seated. It was very tedious to the point of annoying to get refills on our drinks. Literally within 2-3 minutes of ordering we asked our waitress to switch one of the fajita orders from chicken to beef. She initially said "oh I'm sorry but I JUST put the order in". We looked puzzled and said "ok then it shouldn't be a problem changing it?" She went on to explain that she would add the beef to our table and just switch the chicken order to another table next to us who ordered chicken that she had not put in yet. All of that sounded very bizarre but the food was correct when it was delivered our table. At the time the plates were brought we requested a side of sour cream but it didn't come. After 5-10 minutes we spotted our server and requested it from her. But we still never got the sour cream. As I was paying the tab my daughter noticed that we were charged for an extra chicken fajita. So even though the server got the beef fajita added right after we ordered, she didn't take the chicken off the bill. She adjusted it once we pointed out the error. The food was the biggest disappointment out of all of it. I will always give grace to sub par service or atmosphere if the food is great. I say this with the utmost sincerity, I've had more flavorful beef and chicken at Chipotle. The chicken was so dry and served in big chunks which made it even tougher to chew. I seriously could not detect a hint of any seasoning, not even salt. It was very hot but not like the traditional sizzling fajita hot, more like it had been sitting in a heating pan or under heat lamps. For way too long. The beef was a tad bit easier to chew than the chicken but just as bland. The queso that we ordered tasted like canned cheese sauce watered down with chicken or vegetable broth and a tablespoon of pico added. The portion sizes of the entrees, the tortillas, the pico, the guacamole were all very generous. It's just a shame that it doesn't taste good.
