Mar-Cosina - Great place for birthday parties! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Westlake, Texas

Went for a late lunch (2pm) on a Saturday. Easy parking in lot. Nice small outdoor seating area when cooler temps. Dining area had white table cloths and looked nice. We went to a table in the bar area so we could also enjoy college football. There was one other couple dining who said they were regulars. They quickly delivered chips, salsa, and black bean dip and got our drink order. We enjoyed these. Salsa was mild spice level. Mom enjoyed her chicken Flautas. Dad had two types of enchiladas and said they were okay. Wouldn't get again. I got the chicken & vegetable grilled plate. It came with cilantro lime rice, bean soup, & chef salad. $20.95. It's enough for two meals (which was my main reason for getting it- bringing home to the hubs). Chef salad was simple and good - romaine, wedges of tomato, a few slices of avocado & onion topped with balsamic dressing. He said ranch was also available. The bean soup had zero flavor, even with the jalapeño slice they put in it. I diced up some pickled jalapeño my Dad had and that helped but it needed more than that. Have never tasted a bean soup so bland. Didn't finish it. Believe they served me their regular rice instead of cilantro lime rice. It was bland, didn't eat it. Grilled vegetables were plentiful and good! Two chicken cutlets were nestled between all the veg. It was average but still bland - al least I could tell they used salt, pepper, maybe some garlic. Sopapillas were strange. Looked like sopapillas but didn't taste like sopapillas. Dough had a different flavor and not sure if under fried or fried in bad oil. They honey didn't help cover it. Didn't finish them. Bowl of ice cream was good. Friendly and helpful service. Clean restrooms. Nice decor. Would possibly go back one day for a margarita and split nachos or quesadillas to see if better but we did not get what we were expecting based upon the 4 stars and other reviews. Too many other good places to go to. : / read more

This place is a hidden gem. I frequented this delightful spot for lunch when I worked in the area and always enjoyed it but never left a review. I've relocated for work and have not been in over a year. It popped in mind when the hubby said he wanted good Tex-Mex. We shared the La Gran Parillada fajita plate and it was so YUM!! My husband is still raving over the deliciousness a day later. My favorite part was the mixed veggies. It was the traditional onions and bell peppers but also had zucchini, mushrooms, and carrots. They were so tasty, I stopped eating the meat. My husband and I are not shy eaters and we still needed a to-go box. The staff was kind and young which is surprising these days. We enjoyed it and will make this spot our first choice in Tex-Mex going forward. My picture does not do it justice because I took it after we had already been digging in but definitely recommend giving them a visit. read more

Shrimp is cut in half and twisted to make it look like there are two shrimp instead of one. I didn't enjoy it at all. It's a hard 3/10. Two shrimp per taco absolutely bland with no flavor. 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

Ate there today 04/18/26 and can't say enough good things about these folks. The wait staff was very attentive even though they were quite busy. The food is plentiful and tastes great. Wish these folks were local to us in Central Texas but unfortunately we're only visiting and leave tomorrow. The restaurant itself is very cozy and welcoming. All in all a great experience!

Yum yum and yummy. This is our go to Mexican restaurant. Food is authentic wait staff is 2nd to none. We try to eat here at least 1 time a month if not more. Don't wait you won't be disappointed. If you like hot salsa ask for the real hot one read more

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

Anubis was awesome! Great dinner on the patio. Food and drinks were great and service even better!

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

Great Tex mex food. The food is fresh and seasoned to perfection. The service was exceptional. Very friendly and attentive staff. Visiting from California and will definitely return during our next visit! read more

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

Their food is authentic. Very delicious food. Plus, they have excellent service. Good food and good environment.

Food and drinks are always good at this restaurant. Mario is quick with the drinks. Coming here reminds me of going to Cancun. They are great with families. read more

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

Great food! Great service! Bardo and Betty are the nicest waitstaff! We will be back for sure.

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

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

Mario was an excellent server, had the chimichanga was very good. I would recommend everyone come give it a try.

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

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

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

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

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

Mar-Cosina - Gran parrillada - Tex-Mex Near Me - Westlake, Texas

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

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.

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

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

This restaurant is extremely underrated and I highly recommend checking it out. Family owned is always the best and this family is so friendly to their guests and takes the time to care for each and every one of them while also serving some really amazing food you can only find here. Pricing is great and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out, date, or event with friends. Hope to see this place grow with more customers it's super great read more

Exceptional service from Bardo. Margaritas were very good! Cute patio when the weather is nice read more
