Reliably good food, friendly service, the staff remembers our names. Erin is fabulous! Quaint with a beautiful patio for outdoor dining. Very casual. The warm black bean dip is delicious. We'll continue to visit this neighborhood favorite! read more

I just enjoyed a late lunch after arriving at my hotel. Bardo was my waiter and he was super friendly and attentive. I had the tortilla soup which was really fresh and light. All the Fixin's were on the side so the tortilla never got gloopy. I also had a Dubai chocolate cake that was fantastic too. I sat outside on the patio, which was so pleasant. Definitely recommend! read more

Amazing Food!! Bardo is the best server out there. Great service and even better jokes. Gotta check this place out!!

Great food and great service. They were very good with accommodating our nut allergy.

Sweet little place across from the Marriott Westlake. Dropped in on a less than busy Thursday evening. Sat at the bar and was immediately greeted by both bartenders. Dining room looked really nice almost formal. Ordered the chorizo and steak tacos which were very tasty though a little smallish. Loved the bean "soup" side that came with. Salsas were obviously in house and delicious. I'll be back. Nice place. read more

The food and service are excellent! Love this place. It's our go-to Tex Mex restaurant.

We enjoyed our meal. It was quick and delicious. The margaritas were amazing. We will be back soon.

Food is amazing, but service is even better! Love the employees and always leave full.

Very Delicious food! if you like cheese cake definitely go! it's the best. I personally love there quesadilla's. the workers there have been friendly and kind to me and my family. I recommend going! . read more

Stopped in for lunch, told the waitress what I was looking for and she advised they could make something similar (sizzling chicken, veggies, mushrooms, cheese)...and she delivered! Food was excellent and portion size was more than expected. Location was clean, but empty due to the 15* weather we are having right now. Will definitely be back again. read more

My husband & I ate here, for the first time, on 10/2. It was around 3:30, so pretty empty. We were greeted with a smile, by Erin, who turned out to be our server. How lovely she was! So friendly, great recommendations and her service was impeccable. The food was excellent as well as the margaritas. Sadly, we live an hour away or we would be regulars at Mar-Consina! read more

We come here frequently and the food and margs amazing!! Great service and a classic mexican restaurant feel! 100% worth a visit to a local owned good place! read more

Had to ask three separate times for them to bring out tortillas for the fajitas I ordered. Never refilled my son or wife water once. The second batch of chips tasted like sunflower seeds. Mexican rice was bland. Never had a bad experience at a restaurant before but won't be back here. read more

Amazing Tex mex. Some of the best I've ever had. Nachos were amazing. Queso was too. Even the salsa was on point.

Showed up to a quiet restuarant (not very busy) and sat in the front for 5 minutes - no employee in sight. Finally, an employee came by and told us to sit where we liked and she would grab us some menus and a server. Sat for about 15 minutes and no one came by with a menu, to take drink orders, or anything. In fact, another table adjacent from us had to get up and find menus for themselves... not sure how long they had been left unattended. Someone did drop off some chips and salsa. Pretty good. But with the lack of service we just decided to leave any cash we had on the table for the chips and head elsewhere. I'm fine if a waiter isn't dropping by every two seconds as I'm shoveling mexican food in my mouth but to not have ANY service is just weird. Very disappointed in the lack of employee engagement. Not sure how they get by with such poor customer service. I would never recommend this place. read more

I am really sad this turned out to be a disappointment. We had a work event in the building next door and thought Marcosina would be a good happy hour spot - short walk and simple margaritas and appetizers. No big dinners, just a casual outing. We made a reservation but when we showed up, they acted surprised and imposed on. The inside was too warm so we kindly asked to sit outside and they were really rude about it - saying that they already set up the tables. We were kind and told them we would set up the outdoor area ourselves so that they wouldn't be bothered. And to just leave stacks of plates/utensils and we would sort it out. After that, they suggested we try their "limited time" margaritas. We asked what we in them and they couldn't explain in full detail, but we thought we'd try it. They FAILED to tell us they used top shelf -- and it didn't taste like top shelf and the portions were small. They kept bringing extra and didn't know who they belonged to. What should have been a $350 tab was near $600 before tip. Unreal. They are literally swindling their customers. Poor business practice due to both their attitude and the trickery. They are losing so much more business potential now that I've seen their operating model. Tell your customers what you're serving and just be kind. read more

Got the $30 Gran Parrillllada fajita plate hoping to try a little of everything. Food looked great when it came out but when I started eating it it really had no flavor. Not even salt and pepper. I was really disappointed. The only good thing was the ribs because they were covered in sauce which gave them flavor. I'm sure they have a lot of good things on the menu but the $30 fajita plate is not worth the money so I would order something else. Also, the red salsa had little flavor and the queso was congealed and cold. The beans were good. We asked for a spicy salsa and they brought a verde out which was pretty good. read more

Sunday lunch! It was my first time here. Husband had carne Asada and it was delicious. I got tenderloin chipotle and really didn't like it at all! Personal preference I'm certain. Kids loved their meals. It wasn't crowded at all which was a nice treat for a Sunday afternoon! Waiter was an older gentleman and was very nice.

Mar-Cosina catered my recent event, and it was delicious! Everyone was so pleased with the food. Highly recommend!

Delicious Tex-Mex Hidden Gem! The service, food, and ambiance is on point! The BEST EVER Margs and Queso flameado (we chose with chicken) and these are must have!! My new favorite restaurant in Westlake! "Bardo" our waiter was very attentive and helpful with all our requests! As soon as you walk into this beautiful restaurant, you will be impressed, the decor is Texas at its best!!! The manager Marcos made sure to ask my husband and I, if we enjoyed our visit. As a personal not to the owner: "you could not of picked a better location, decor, or staff!" We are looking forward to coming here for years to come read more

The food AND service was AMAZING! GREAT atmosphere too! We will definitely be coming back read more

Food, service, atmosphere. We love the restaurant and Aaron, Jesus, Bardo, Marco, Oscar and the crew go out of there way to take care of us. We had my 70th bday party there and it was the BEST read more

We no longer eat here even though it's the closest restaurant to our house and the closest mexican food. They are consistently inconsistent and do not keep the food hot. We've had 3 meals here in last 6 months in which food ws not hot that needed to be hot. Service is usually nice, friendly and prompt. Atmosphere is pleasant but cleaning tables is not a priority. read more

The staff goes above and beyond to be welcoming and nice. The micheladas have a great presentation but I forgot to take a picture. They have table side guacamole and a vast menu. The restaurant is clean and the salsa is good. They also have bean dip which is really good too. The chips were crisp and tasty. What more can you ask for? read more

The service was excellent and the food delicious. We tried the beef nachos and had to order more. Thank you for the excellent dinner!!

Idk about the food. Waited about 20 minutes just for a menu and water. We got subpar chips and salsa. We got there with an hour and a half before closing, but I guess the staff couldn't be bothered to wait on us. It's Texas. There's no shortage of Tex-Mex restaurants; just pick anywhere but here if you actually want food read more

A great place to celebrate a family birthday. The food and service were amazing! The staff was wonderful and surprised our table with sopaipillas for the celebration. The kids also loved the coloring page and meals :) read more

The beans taste like fish. sweet tea? bad. The kid who brought us the food? Rude . Waitress didn't understand what my date was asking for. all together it sucked. read more

The food was awesome. Highly recommend the Westlake tacos which have a great flavor. Also recommend the chicken tacos Al carbon.

Fantastic spot!! Hosted our rehearsal dinner on the lovely patio- the service and food was on point! Everyone loved it and the food was just delicious. So nice, wonderful staff. Highly recommend! read more

I really am excited to leave this review tonight. We've been going to Mar-Cosina in Westlake for about 8 years. The ambiance is always very pleant. Never too loud. The tables are always clean and the staff is very attentive. There's never been a bad dinner. First off, they are one of the very few restaurants that serve Cabrito (goat). It's scrumptious! My husband always orders it. I love chili rellenos. They will even make them with cabrito if you ask. Let us not forget the margaritas. Lethal! Please eat a lot before you choose to have too many. Tonight was my birthday. An almost huge milestone I refuse to divulge. Nevertheless, I wanted to go to Mar-Cocina. We always, always look forward to seeing our favorite server Bardo. You can't miss him. An older, jolly fellow. What a peach! If you go look around and I promise you'll fixate on him. He's just got this sweet presence. Tonight he just went out of his way to be so accommodating and so pleasant. In my opinion he's iconic and Mar-Cocina would not be what they are without Bardo and his charismatic charm. He's a keeper!CabritoCilantro Rice read more

Any interaction with Bardo is amazing. He instantly made us feel like family. We can't wait to come visit again. Fantastic food, and wonderful staff. read more

Well isn't this just a hidden gem? This restaurant is a bit off the beaten path but WORTH IT. Great atmosphere, clean and the decor is welcoming. Silverware and dishes are spotless. Bardo was too notch, personable, friendly and attentive. His jovial demeanor made the experience even more pleasurable. I ordered steak and shrimp fajitas for dinner. We were served the tableside chips, a bean dip, and salsa. All of it was crisp, fresh and delicious. Two skinny margaritas (excellently made) in and out came the sizzling fajitas. DELICIOUS. It's rare I don't have to add salt or pepper to meats in fajitas and this was the one of few times. Steak was marinated and seasoned beautifully. The beans and rice were cooked to perfection and the tortillas were fresh and warm. For desert we ordered the churros which had a delicious filling and came with ice cream and whipped cream. I left there feeling like a bloated tick but satisfied. Absolute must visit and I will be returning. Hat is off to Bardo who made the visit even better. I never had an empty glass or unaddressed request. read more
