The service here is always amazing! I come here at least once a week, and the food is always on point. This is definitely my go-to restaurant whenever I'm hungry! The staff and food never disappoint. Keep up the great work! read more

We have liked this local restaurant in the past because of the friendly staff and satisfactory food but today the wait person was very cold and never smiled, read more

This is a staple for my parents and my first time trying. The food was great and everything came out fast. Only reason I am docking a star is because our server had to be told things repeatedly like "a straw" overall the food is really good and will be back again! read more

This is our local Mexican food spot. Close to the house and everything we've tried has been great. We get fajitas mostly, but the salsa and guacamole are always great! Service is friendly, fast and reliable. We only chose takeout though. But 5 star for the most important part, the food. We've tried staying a few times. We just don't feel a good ambiance here. It seems too well lit if that makes sense. Like too bright. My one and only complaint. Otherwise, great restaurant. read more

I attended a birthday dinner this week at LaBendicion. Very excited to hit a neighborhood spot and take a pause from every highway that's under construction. We were greeted by at least 3 employees, eager to say hello and seat us. It's a family owned restaurant and each employee gave us exemplary attention. The sweetest staff! They were quick to sit our party of 5, take the cake to be refrigerated, chips/salsa, and drinks. We discovered a 55 and up menu for 9.99. What? How did we become seniors?' The cheese enchilada was delicious!! We were surprised at their drink selection. Very yummy! Loved the black raspberry marg!! Delicious and one may be enough. - wink! There were families and others celebrating birthdays. We will be back! read more

Terrific food! The carne asada was grilled and seasoned to perfection! No frills restaurant with booths, tables, and a small outdoor area. Not much difference between the top shelf marg and the house. Service is just okay based on my experience on a Sunday. read more

I was in the area looking for a place to eat. A quick search on Yelp led me to this restaurant, and I decided to give it a try. The menu had several tempting options, but I settled on the Baja Enchiladas and added a brisket taco based on a recommendation from one of the employees. Despite the restaurant being busy, the food arrived in a reasonable time. I was impressed by the portion size, and even more impressed with the flavor. The cilantro sauce I substituted on my enchiladas was a great choice and really enhanced the dish. Craving something sweet, I ordered the churros, which turned out to be some of the best I've ever had--soft in the center, perfectly fried on the outside, with ice cream that added a nice touch. We also ordered sopapillas for the table, and they were delicious as well. I really wish this restaurant was closer, I would definitely frequent it often. read more

We have driven by this place for a long time, it's located by a grocery store and really didn't notice it. One day was at store and smelled something really good. That afternoon we went to the smell. Was greeted at the door by a young man, who was pleasant and very knowledgeable of what restaurant served. He recommended several options we ordered. Chips and hot sauce were good Queso was also good Food portions were good( had to get go box) Prices are on the normal Overall our experience was good and we will return. I recommend this restaurant read more

La Bendicion TexMex - 2 enchiladas and a tamale Refried beans and rice - Tex-Mex Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Every Friday a group of 3 to 4 couples meet at La Bendicion for dinner. The service for most of us is excellent, but a waitress who fills in for our group when our regular waitress is not available seems to have a real problem with one of the couples. They have never been critical or rude to this waitress, but possibility a little impatient with her. They have also generously tipped her, but for some unknown reason she totally ignores any and every request that they make of her, such as requesting silverware or an extra plate. She will eventually bring that item after requesting it several more time, after the food is cold and not fit to eat, and everyone else has finished their dinner. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant until this problem is fixed. read more

Best Mexican food I've ever ate. very good and friendly wait staff. If you live in Arlington I highly recommend it.

My daughter loved her tortilla soup. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The salsa is too spicy for me and my granddaughter, they didn't have any tomatoes to cool it off. The nachos are awful..I do hear many good things about them, but my experience wasn't great. It's doubtful I'll return. read more

If you're looking for a great place to bring your large group, don't hesitate to bring them here! We had 20 people with several separate checks. All checks were correct, all food was correct, drinks were filled, staff was excellent! Thank you La Bendicion for a wonderful evening! read more

La Bendicion TexMex - Tex-Mex Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Had such high hopes for this little place. It had good food and margarita, close to my house and a great place for a good weeknight dinner; sadly, the quality has fallen off. The "set up" they give you for fajitas has dwindled to the tiniest amount and the margaritas have become so watered down and disappointing. Probably will not return. read more

Was craving enchiladas in the area and came here only to be disappointed :(. Since it was so slow, all the staff was kinda just standing around. Originally I ordered one spinach and one chicken enchilada. The first one was literally just sautéed spinach in a tortilla and very underwhelming to say the least. Chicken was very dry as well but the queso sauce made it more palatable. Rice was mid, and not much flavor. Both the charro and black beans were hard as well. I often crave Tex-Mex, despite loving authentic Mexican food, but this was truly disappointing and I will not be returning. The restaurant overall was very clean and decorated nicely, but the food was a total miss. read more

Stopped here because we were hungry for TexMex. It was a clean simple interior and service was quick. The menu had a great selection for lunch specials and that's what I chose. I did the lunch special Carne Asada and it was great. My meat was super tender and flavorful and it was a good size for a lunch special. The rice was the only bummer, it was pretty much lacking any taste. I also got a margarita that was just okay to me it was overly sweet and I don't like sweet drinks at all. My husband got the enchilada lunch special and also really enjoyed everything but the rice. Will definitely visit again read more

First time in and won't be out last. We wanted to go to our usual place but hvac has been out for weeks and they don't seem to care so had to look for a close-by new place and had read about this restaurant on the Arlington eats Facebook page and it didn't disappoint! We started with a small guacamole dip and chips and salsa. All was really good. Salsa is a little runny for me, I'm a chunky salsa girl but flavor wise it was good and the chips tasted fresh. We decided to try the chicken fajitas for two. First let me tell you we looked at prices at Mariano's before coming and chicken fajitas for two was $50!!! The Margarita I I usually get is now $17. So let me just say the fajitas for two were $36 and it was huge. We even had enough for leftovers for tomorrow lunch. They have not received their liquor license yet so margaritas are free, limit 2 per person, but considering the difference in price and the quantity & quality of the entrees we will def come back here before going back to Mariano's. Place is clean, service was amazing and the food is typical Tex-Mex. Definitely recommend and we will be back. Even if we need to pay for our drinks. read more

La Bendicion TexMex - Pretty decent chips and salsa. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Arlington, Texas

La Bendicion is still pretty new but they've already cozied right in to the neighborhood and built up a little local following. The space is one big, open square filled with tall booths that divvy up the room and offer decent privacy. I remember the lighting being pretty bright and seeming almost fluorescent, but all in all a comfortable space. There's a small bar and a couple big TVs playing sports on the back wall. The menu is pretty classic Tex-Mex, something you won't find me complaining about. On a week day lunchtime we were seated and brought a highchair for our toddler right away. Then the chips and salsa, and yes these pass the test. The chips are thin and crunchy and sturdy enough to hold up lots of salsa, which is red, cold, and a could-keep-eating-forever-medium-level-hot. Our entree orders were basic, okay, but delicious. Jon had steak soft tacos with a side of rice and beans. I ordered plain ol' meatless nachos (only $4.50!!) but they came with plenty of toppings: a dollop of sour cream, a scoop of guacamole, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeno slices, and shredded lettuce. The produce was all yummy and fresh across both plates. Jon's soft tacos were enormous and the Spanish rice and refried beans both had great texture. Truly everything was pretty darn good.. I want to try their enchiladas or tostados next. Stay tuned! read more

100/10 loved the food if you couldn't tell!! The service was fast and amazing. And they start you off with chips and salsa ( personal salsa's). Definitely recommend beef enchiladas! We'll be back :) read more

Service is amazing, family friendly and food good for the price. Our server was outstanding and made sure we had everything we needed

I will say this place has very flavorful food, I had the Chimichanga with Brisket smeared with chilly verde. The chips are fresh and the sauce was just the right amount of spice. My wife had the steak which she stated was awesome. It was not chewy and just melted with great taste. The service was spot on, very professional and attentive with the orders and any refills. Very clean and relaxed ambiance and over all the food is worth the price. You will not be unhappy. read more

La Bendicion TexMex - Chimichanga, Rice and Black Beans - Tex-Mex Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Ok lots to talk about on this one. Let's start with the good. The restaurant inside was clean. The prices were not absurd. The salsa that came with the chips was spectacular. And the food came out in less than 5 minutes from the time of ordering. Unfortunately here is the bad. The main course (enchiladas) was completely devoid of any flavor. Like I don't know how it is possible but I felt the food in my mouth, but didn't taste a thing. The chicken filling was suuuuper dry as well. The front of the restaurant was also really easy to miss. I passed right by it once because the windows tint are so dark that the open sigh was really hard to see that it was even on. Now while I wasn't completely disappointed, I can't I would ever return; despite living less than 5 minutes from this restaurant. I think there is room for improvement; but as it is, needs to be better. read more

Sunday Lunch was not too crowded, and the staff there was wonderful. Was immediately greeted and served the normal chips and salsa. The salsa was good. It is a casual place, with plenty of seating and a few tables outside. We ordered the enchilada taco plate and chimichangas. Both plates were great; watch out, those dishes were hot. The Chimichanga was good, and I do recommend it. It comes with Rice and Beans (your choice of black or refried), and you can choose one of three sauces for your dish. I chose the tomatillo sauce (green). I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

We really like La Bendicion. It's very similar to Don Mario's that used to be in that spot. Even has several former employees. But a new owner, new name and what seems to be a strong commitment to making the restaurant very successful. The food is excellent, they use high quality meats for their fajitas and carne asada. It's very tender and flavorful. The charro beans are top notch. They also allow ala carte ordering if you don't want a full meal. A large Tortilla soup is a meal in itself too. Great service and the restaurant is always very clean. read more

Some of the best Mexican food I've eaten. Husband had two cheese enchiladas with half portion of carne asada (best softest asada meat I've ever had) I got the Baja enchiladas with charro beans. Best house salsa I've ever had with a little kick but we like it extra spicy so I asked for house made spicy and the green was super flavorful. cilantro cream sauce and it was also delish. 10/10- we were sad the next day was thanks giving so they weren't open. read more

Wanted to try a new place for dinner and found this place when I searched on YELP. It is nice a spacious and clean when you walk in. The booths are tall enough to block noise. They do have a bar area, but we elected to sit on the main floor. Our server was fantastic and prompt with refilling our drinks, even when the restaurant became busy. The food came out very quick. We ordered queso to go with the chips and salsa. That was a little bland, but was ok when we mixed in some of the salsa. Our entrées were out of this world delicious. I had the carne Asada and my friend had chicken enchiladas. The carne asada was so flavorful and grilled perfectly. The chicken in the enchiladas was very moist and flavorful. I also ordered a frozen mango margarita. It was delicious. I can't wait to go back! read more

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. read more

First let me say the nachos were great and my friends enchiladas were also and some of the best salsa I have had. The only food I was disappointed in was the chips. Now about the service I think our waitress was new but she needs some serious training. Bought our drinks took our order then we had to ask another waiter for more chips another person brought our food promptly. Never came around to ask if we need anything. Had to ask for more water had to go find her in the back hall just standing there talking to another employee to ask for our ticket. Also had to ask another waiter no bring a sopapillas order. When she brought our ticket and left we had to wave the holder in the air to get to come get to run the credit card.. Food was great! read more

We heard about this restaurant from some friends. Walked in around 1pm on a Saturday. We were greeted promptly and sat in a booth, which I usually don't prefer because of sitting too low. These were comfortable for me at 5'5" as well as for my husband at 6'3". The server brought out chips and salsa-- we each got our own cup of salsa. Took our drink orders right away. I ordered a jalapeño margarita. She immediately brought me water and a diet coke for my husband. The menu had a lot of options. We started off with the Queso Trio, which had ground taco beef, guacamole, and sour cream to be mixed in with Queso Blanco. Very tasty! I asked for a side of soft corn tortillas and they were fresh and soft, but firm enough to hold up to the queso. One of my favorite things to check out at a new Mexican restaurant is the chile relleno, if it's on the menu. I ordered the ground beef chile relleno and it was worth it! Expertly seasoned ground beef, a slight crunch through the pablano pepper, and a very light egg batter on the outside. And the spicy green sauce lives up to its name and was full of flavor! My husband had the beef fajita chimichanga and said it was really good. Meat was well seasoned and tender. He could only eat half of it! The borracho beans were the perfect soft, silky, yet firm texture with an amazing likker. And the black beans were also expertly seasoned and prepared. The Mexican rice was fine, just normal fluffy, seasoned rice. And back to the Jalepeno Margarita. First, it was fresh. Muddled fresh jalepeno, squeezed lime, premium tequila, and maybe a place of sweet and sour. The owner made it and came by to check on how I liked it. Amazing! Served in a goblet and only $13. What? We had leftovers a diet were so full that we did t try dessert. Maybe next time I will opt for margarita and dessert! Definitely worth giving it a try. We will certainly go back and this may replace pur other favorite Arlington Mexican food place, which has a much higher menu and drink price for the same quality of food and margaritas! read more
