    Tortas y tacos dorados
    Bruce A.

    Great place for authentic Mexican food. Service is good also!! Close to main place in Arlington. Cowboys stadium and SixFlags

    General dining aeea

    For me a wow. Great place. Crispy beef tacos are a 10 and I know my tacos. Perfectly seasoned meet. Same for cheese enchiladas. Chip and salsa great. Another fav of mine are corn tortillas. These r THICK just how they should be. I wrap my tacos in them and have some with just butter. Service and ambiance great as well. Second time here.

    Came here on a rainy day craving some soup! Had the chicken soup with carrots and rice in it, it was perfect for my comfort food craving. Authentic Mexican restaurant with a great staff

    Hair in my enchiladas

    Quiet setting, I usually get the flautas but I decided to try something different today and ended up getting a side of hair in my plate of enchiladas.

    Good burger for a Mexican food place

    Co worker regularly goes here so I came along, I thought it looked nice when I went in. Waitresses were nice and they brought out chips and salsa. The menu was just massive and they had a burger which I was actually in mood for, it came out really fast and was a good size. It actually tasted good and I was filled up by the pretty good fries. Check was a little much but this is a nice spot for lunch, I'd definitely come back.

    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 reveals itself to be larger once you're inside. It's a cozy dining experience and I liked the cluttered decor of Mexican tchotchkes and liquor bottles. The owners were very kind to reserve tables for our large group and arrange for us all to pay separately. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were very filling - they came with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. I was tempted by the taco salad... some fellow diners ordered it and they were serving size was enormous! Most dishes here seemed well suited to having enough leftovers for the next day.

Had to ask for refills on drinks , I was paying with cash that took forever getting that and still wasn't the right change !! Just go back the old way of papasitos ,, NOT a good experience at all !! Should not be like that bill was 30.00 and that should be a treat to do that but was really aggravating!!

The food was not great, and we were all soaked with sweat by the end of our meal. I would definitely call ahead and check to see if the AC is working before going here anytime soon.
