The customer service was great here, but the food was just OK. I wasn't too impressed with it. I had the chile rellenos and my mom had the pozole. Both were just ok. The rice was a little over cooked and the chile was very oily. I also ordered the horchata and it was a little too grainy for me.

Place is bigger than it looks. It's decoration are lovely and colorful. Small waiting area plus desserts to checkout before getting seated. They have a full bar with a TV As we got settled in at our table. Chips and salsas were placed down and service right away. Food was delicious. We came for breakfast and I can't wait to come back for lunch/dinner. And of course I had to try their churros and I wasn't impressed much.

Mole Enchiladas were exceptional!

Casa de Lina officially receives a 5 star rating. Having a neighborhood restaurant with this quality of food and friendly service is what dreams are made of! The inside has a home-y feel with sombreros on the walls and Mexican tablecloths. Can't wait to come back!

Super good food !! Definitely would go again the service was amazing ! The atmosphere was great too

I've been here four times now and each time I keep saying it's just as delicious! I keep bringing anyone who will join me for amazing Mexican food. This time we ordered the menudo and chilaquiles and also had a guacamole with the chips while we waited. The food was just as delicious as I remembered it the first time! The staff just as friendly and attentive and the timing was just right! (Enough to know it's fresh food but not too long where your wondering what's happening back there) we drank the fresh squeezed lemonade and the cafe de olla. I love that the food is always so authentically tasty and the decore just reminds me of the little decorations I see in my tias houses. If you want to try authentic Mexican food you should stop by and see what they have. I still like everything I've had and will continue to come for the menudo and bring new friends so I can also try their plates lol. This looks like a little hole in the wall restaurant but don't let it deceive you, it opens up to a large dinning area with plenty of space. So bring your friends or come alone, either way, the food won't disappoint!

Chile Relleno
Ron G.

Saw Bud Kennedy's review on La Casa and thought we would try it. Wow, it was really good! Very simple interiors, clean and a little cute The chips and salsa were exceptional. The salsa had some heat, but really tasted good, a little like Uncle Julio's, but better. Had their top shelf margarita and loved it. We had the chicken enchiladas verdes and the chile rellenos. Both were very good, the enchilada verdes at Los Asaderos are the best, but these were very good. Enjoyed the food, drinks and friendly service staff. I have read that their food was very authentic interior Mexican. All I know it was great!

New favorite Mexican food restaurant. This place is amazing . I've had breakfast and lunch here now and both times I didn't leave a crumb on my plate ! It's also 5 min away from my house!! The Mexican Coffee is the BEST !! I will eventually try everything on the menu lol . The atmosphere is great and you feel very comfortable like it's home .

Queso Sauce Cup
Pauline J.

As a white girl married to a Mexican in another life (lol), I learned about mole' from my first MIL. I was immediately in love with it and shocked that it contained peanut butter & cocoa powder. Let me say that the very first bite of the mole enchiladas here sent me reeling back to her kitchen 40 years ago. YUM The queso was very good, as was the salsa. The warm chips with the queso seemed much fresher than the ones we got with our salsa. Hubby got the chicken fajitas and said they were good, although served differently than most Mexican restaurants now. No showy sizzling plate, just nice hot food. Our service was top notch - very friendly and fast and the frozen margarita was excellent!! No weird neon green here... actually looked and tasted of real lime juice. Ambiance was like being in a Meccan resort town. We came here because of other Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed.

Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream.
Melissa V.

My friend said something negative about this restaurant so I wanted to check it out. Lol. I needed to go to the Threading Salon and my Dad needed to eat breakfast so, I told my Dad to get breakfast and order me something. Then when I was done at the threading salon, I would meet him at the restaurant. I waited a bit at the Threading Salon so, when I got to the restaurant I thought my food would be ready but it wasn't?. Just about every table was full and they seem to have help. I'm not sure what was going on? Then I waited some more while in the restaurant. The ladies spoke English and they were really nice. The first batch of chips we got were old and stale. The Hot Sauce had a subtle kick to it. The second batch of Chips were warm and fresh. If you get your order to go, they give you a complimentary Salsa and Chips. I ordered the Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. They were two large flower tortillas topped with Sour Cream and a good amount of shredded Chicken. The shredded chicken was bland and the sour cream sauce was just okay. The Beans were very tasty. The Rice liked flavor but, it did have a few peas in it. The visual presentation was spot on. I took half of my lunch home and it was so good! This Restaurant is for everybody. You see the semi young couple on a date and you see the Senior couple on a date, you see the large Hispanic family and you see the hard-working Hispanic laborers chowing down, along with a guy that came from the gym and grabbed his family with him. I really enjoyed the ambience of the Restaurant. There's a lot of detail that grabs your eye. I love the name of this restaurant too. In English it translates to The House of Lina.

We stopped by for breakfast and I highly recommend this place. Definitely authentic Mexican breakfast! They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa has a great kick to it! They do have spicier salsa available if you ask for it. The service was very attentive and wonderful. Ambiance is relaxed! The Huevos rancheros were so tasty and the salsa was also spicy which was great for me. Wish the regular coffee would have been much warmer but other than that a great place to eat ! They do offer tequila as well!

Post pop up taco Tuesday run!

Birria...everything! Like many in Fort Worth, I was drawn to Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez with the…read moreheadlines that they received Michelin recognition. A local place that serves amazing Birria, count me in! We made our jaunt for a Friday lunch and they were busy. There's plenty of space here - they have both outdoor and indoor seating but given that it was still hot AF, most everyone was crammed inside. The menu is quite expansive. As I said, its birria galore. Usually when hit with this much goodness I try to default with some of the tried and true recommendations, so I opted for the Quesataco Combo: 3 birria and cheese tacos, with all the fixings. Amazing. decadent. delicious. Plenty of words to describe the great birria they dish out here. Happy to say Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez lives up to the hype and if you're like me and you love some birria, definitely give it a shot. We will be back to try some birria pizza or even the birria ramen. Can't go wrong here.

I cant believe I havent reviews this place yet! I been coming to Cortez when they were still just a…read morefood truck back in 2020! I knew back then they were the real deal. When I was on my birria kick I would drive from Arlington all the way here because no other place came close. The meat is full of flavor and spice and the conzume they bring out with it is just as good. Its full of spice and flavor and I straight up drink that by itself, i dip my tortillas with it. I usually put salt and lemon on the tortillas and then roll them up and dip em in the conzume. In the past, I had the ramen, the platillo, the tacos, and I think the quesabirria, they are all delicious but my favorite is the quesabirria and the tacos, followed by the ramen. The menu is small but just stick with the tacos or buy the meat by the pound, and you are good to go. The rice and beans are average but still good; the salsas they have on the table are amazingly delicious. The light green one is my favorite because is not too spicy but spicy enough to give me that kick am looking for in my food. I drown my food in that salsa sometimes and then dip in conzume. In the past, I also had their margaritas, and they are delicious! The mango with chamoy and Tajín on the rim is my favorite! They have a patio in the back with another bar and more Tv's. The staff is nice, but the last 2 times i been there it took over 10 minutes to just get a waiter to recognize i had not been help and place my drink order with them. I notice the staff tends to pay more attention to bigger parties instead of groups of just 1 or 2 customers. I like the atmosphere of this place; the music, the shows they have on the tv and the murals honestly make it feel cozy like I am visiting a family member. I don't come here when they have soccer games on or late at night on the weekends because the customers can get rowdy sometimes, and that's not my vibe. All the time I've been, they have a security officer so people don't get too out of hand. The parking lot is kind of small so if you come on a busy day/time, you might need to park across the street. I never had to wait long to get a table, and the staff is pretty quick about cleaning and turning tables over to keep the wait down.

Our family, around 20 of us, gathered at Don Aremio's to celebrate the life of my brother-in-law…read morewho had passed away early in the week. This was his favorite restaurant. He loved Don Artemio's. Being a 5-star restaurant, service is always impeccable from the time you enter until the time you depart. Our server today was Ulises. He politely introduced himself and asked if there were any questions about the restaurant, or the cuisine. After answering several questions, he proceeded to take our drink orders. I ordered one of their speciality tequila cocktails. Each one is an experience in it's self. My sister ordered several Nopalitos Fritos, the restaurant's signature fried cactus appetizer, plus the restaurant's incredible guacamole. The appetizer was accompanied by their in-house made blue corn tortillas. Oh yummy, my favorite part of the dining experience, the cactus. It is SO good. The restaurant is such a beautiful creation. If you're ever dining there, ask the servers to give you a history of the furnishing, stones, etc. It is so interesting to learn about the care that went into the restaurant. In fact, much of the ingredients used in the preparation of their incredible entrees is sourced from a certain area of Mexico. Even their incredible coffees use imported coffee beans from Mexico. When dining at Don Artemio there is never a rush to get you in and out. This is a restaurant to immerse yourself in the surrounds and the food. Don Artmio's is a destination restaurant to be savored while you are there. Ulises check-in with my sister if she felt it was time to order. There is such a delectable selection of entrees to choose from, it'll be a hard choice For many of us. My wife, who wasn't too hungry, decided just to enjoy more of the Nopalitos Fritos with the blue corn tortillas, this is her favorite item on the menu. I opted for the prime 8 ounce filet. He is served on ancho -pasilla herb black bean pureé, chipotle sauce, ancho-pasilla, grilled calabacita and baby carrots. I'm and "rare" steak individual and usually restaurants disappoint me because my steaks are almost always overcooked. I'm taking a chance on Don Artmio's, but I have a funny feeling, my steak is going to come out of the kitchen perfectly prepared. Others in our party ordered their entrees as well. Ulises handled our group with military precision. His attention was on each guest as he took their order like they were the only customer in the restaurnat. After a reasonable wait, a barrage of servers, surrounded our table, with Ulises' assistance, each entree was placed in front of each of our party with a certain flair. Everything looked so delicious. The presentation of each platter was a feast for the eyes. As I learned in the food business, presentation is everything! Several members of the management team stopped by our table many times to check on us to see if we had everything we needed. The service staff demonstrates a true "team" effort. Everyone helps everyone. Ulises, for those who had ordered cuts of meat, he asked all of us to cut into our steaks to check the doneness and see if it was prepared to our satisfaction. Here's the test, was I going to get a perfectly prepared "rare" steak? I cut into my prime 8-ounce filet and it was grilled to a perfect "rare." There was a beautiful crust on the outside. Oh my goodness, I couldn't wait until the first bite. Perfection!! Seasoned perfectly. One thing you'll notice, there are no salt and pepper shakers on the tables. There is no need for them. My tummy was so happy. As our meal wound down, conversation wound up. We shared so many wonderful memories of Ron, my brother-in-law. He had been a part of my life for 62 years. He passing left a void in all of our lives. To wind our meal experience up, my sister ordered several orders of the restaurant's signature dessert, Tres Leches del Desierto Deconstructed tres leches with ammonite-shaped ice cream and berries, basically a deconstructed Tres Leches. words can't express how delicious and decadent it is. It is so rich, it begs for a cup of Mexican coffee, which is what I ordered. We all enjoyed the wrap of of our gathering at Don Artmio's to honor and remember a family member that had been such a presence in our lives for over six decades. Thank you Ulises, the staff of the restaurant and especially all those who work behind the scenes to ensure each and every visit to Don Artmio's is a memorable experience. We'll be back again soon.

To start the meal, they brought out an amuse-bouche that I can't remember the name of. It was a silky smooth creamy squash soup. I could have eaten a bowl of that and been satisfied! Soooo good! DRINKS: Zacatecas - Banhez Mezcal Joven, Guava Puree, Lime Juice, Chipotle Tamarind Syrup Not something I would typically order but it was smokey & complex. Carajillo43 - Licor 43, fresh espresso Perfect drink to end a great meal! APPETIZERS: Cazuela de Chorizo Housemade chorizo, bruleé panela cheese, oregano pickled onion, served with handmade heirloom blue corn tortillas. To make tacos. Best chorizo I have ever tasted! Made me change my mind about not liking chorizo. Guacamole So fresh and good! Served with heirloom house made blue corn tortillas. Nancy recommended we make tacos with chorizo & guac on them. They were good! Different from your typical tex mex served with chips. (This is not a Tex Mex place). They serve a red and green salsa. Both good. Red was mild in spice level and green was hot. MAIN: Codorniz en Mole Poblano Texas quail stuffed with a creamy pecan almond rice, house made mole poblano, oven roasted potatoes, queso fresco, toasted pumpkin seeds. DESSERT: (got two to split between 6 people. Just wanted a taste). Tres Leches del Desierto - my fav of the two! Deconstructed tres leches with ammonite-shaped ice cream and berries. Encuentro de Chocolate - very rich Chocolate sphere cake filled with chocolate mousse, finished with a chocolate glaze, served with beet-ancho chile foam We are all stuffed, happy, & look forward to going back! Love all the plants on their patio. Looks like a relaxing place to enjoy a perfect meal when nice out!

The beans had a lot going on and included ingredients that probably should be mentioned when ordering. She thought the fries were decent, but said the birria tacos were just okay and that she's had much better elsewhere in the area. The service is good and straightforward. You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.
