    Yummy drinks
    Liz A.

    My family and I went here for dinner on a Thursday evening. All of the servers were so kind and welcoming. Our food came out quickly and everything tasted great! The frozen margaritas are delicious too. We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere here and will be coming back soon.

    The food was good and the place was clean. The service was good and the staff was friendly. However, the margarita did not taste like a traditional margarita. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

    Everything was awesome thank you guys. Love especially the salsa will be coming back again.

    After church today I went into los molcajetes at this location and the service was very good, our waitress was very nice and polite, the food was excellent, I had a big burrito with meat, rice and mashed beans in it and it was very good, even the chips were good, I also had a regular Dr Pepper and that was really good too, I will definitely come back.

    Pretty good fancy Mexican cuisine. The menudo and quail is pretty great. Service is pretty good too. Worth a try if you're in the area.

    We went at happy hour time. Service was fast & friendly. The chips were light & crunchy. I loved the hot spicy salsa. We shared a chicken quesadilla meal, which comes with 2 cups of sides (can be substituted), a bed of lettuce, diced tomatoes, a small scoop of guacamole & small scoop of sour cream. We subbed the rice & refried beans with a cups of charro beans at no extra cost. We got a box for 3 pieces of the quesadillas. The quesadillas were pretty good, tasty. Chicken was a bit dry, but the toppings mediated this. The cup of charro beans had generous amount of beans, so it was quite filling! Flavor was not bad, not the best I've had. The lime margarita on the rocks was great, $5.95, worth going back for! We split the bill, $14.54 each person before tips. The place was clean, spacious with colorful Latino theme. This place is typically packed at dinner time, would come early.

    Tijuana plate

    Food texture, presentation and warmth was good. Everything was VERY VERY bland. I was definitely not a fan of the salsa. Nothing was spicy or had any kick to it. Service was good, vibe is nice, just a no for me and everyone in my family .

    Sampler

    I think the reason I give it only 3 is because I think I had higher expectations for this place. The service was outstanding but the food was ok, the prices are great BUT the chips and salsa were my biggest disappointment. The salsa was watery the chips weren't so good. I was hoping for better. I had the sampler platter which was good and my friends had the Tijuana platter and the Enchilada platter. Will I go back? Maybe I'll think about trying it again during HAPPY HOUR

    Chile Relleno Plate

    Great service every time I've been in but usually go around 5pm so it's not too busy. The Chile Relleno Plate and top shelf margarita are my go to; both so delicious. The chips, salsa and queso are fresh and tasty. Lots of seating; both tables and booths. Also plenty of parking.

I'm from California and we know our way around some fine Mexican cuisine but Mama Cuca's was SO good. I spent two of my 4 nights in Midlothian at this restaurant. The grilled and stuffed poblano pepper is an absolute MUST HAVE. I'd never had it before but at the recommendation of our server, I gave it a try. I would have kicked myself if I had passed, it was outstandingly well prepared and flavorful :) But this review isn't actually about the food ... @Jessica and @Paty @Guillermo I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Andrew on my first night at Mama Cuca's and America in the bar on my second night. I've worked in Michelin restaurants in Napa Valley and these two professionals are genuinely absolute ACES in the craft of customer service. I don't write reviews to complain so when i take the time to write these it is because the service or quality was so outstanding that I NEED other people to know so they don't miss out on such an incredible experience. Both America & Andrew had us laughing and enjoying every minute chatting with them. The incredible food, combined with incredible staff ... needless to say I passed along my experiences to the folks I was in town to help with a tech deployment and will be coming back myself in a few months when I'm in town again. THANK YOU SINCERELY, America and Andrew, for providing one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I can recall. I would come back for the food but i will be back multiple nights for this incredible experience. You two ROCK!!!! And Paco, I met you late in the experience but i gotta give you props, from a former bartender at some swanky spots ... you're a REAL ONE my man.

As longtime Black customers, we left feeling completely unwelcome and undervalued. We have been coming to El Primo's for YEARS. I've celebrated special occasions here, including my 25th birthday, so this isn't a review from someone who visited once and decided to complain. We know what the service and atmosphere used to be like, which is exactly why this experience was so disappointing. I have never been to a Mexican restaurant where we weren't even offered a refill on chips. My father had to repeatedly ask for water. Our waiter barely checked on us at all and essentially only returned when it was time to bring the check. Meanwhile, we watched the manager make a point to visit and speak with seemingly every other table while completely passing over ours. I cannot speak to anyone's intentions, but I can absolutely speak to how we were treated, and as Black customers, the difference in attention made us feel singled out and unwelcome. After YEARS of supporting this restaurant, that is incredibly disappointing. If this is the level of hospitality the new management considers acceptable, they are going to run a once-great restaurant into the ground. You cannot expect loyal customers to continue supporting a business where they no longer feel valued or even acknowledged.

He made sure our water was filled, food was pleasing, cocktails were made to perfection, and our needs were met. He was super friendly and interjected just enough of himself to make it a great night for us. I ordered the pollo con champiñónes. They were absolutely delicious! It was served up similar to how fajitas traditionally are served, on a hot plate, along with onions, peppers, pico, and cheese. The roasted jalapeño was an added touch. Nice! It came with beans and rice, but I opted for double beans. The beans were flavored good enough, with cheese on top. The table was served with chips and salsa. While the chips were just alright, the salsa was flavorful but not too spicy. Jorge made up our piña coladas and they were SO SO good! They serve the TRADITIONAL ones with crème de coco, rum, and pineapple juice, like what we get in Mexico! No premix in a machine, but the real deal. Super! The ambiance was adorable, not fancy, but very traditional Mexican decor. You can go dressed nicely or casual and feel comfortable here. Try them and enjoy!

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).

Unfortunately, I've visited twice now and the service has been practically nonexistent both times. The hostesses are always very welcoming, but once we get to the table, the experience completely changes. Both times, our servers acted like they would rather be doing anything else and that we were inconveniencing them just by being there. It's disappointing because the food and drinks are good enough to make me want to come back, but the service makes it hard to justify another visit.
