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).

I really wanted to like this restaurant because it's close by, and the food and drinks are actually…read morereally good! 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.

I ended up dumping the meat out and eating the tortilla and condiments. My husband said his order was OK.

They were stuffed with tender meat and were not excessively greasy. They come with onion and cilantro and three different salsas. Kind of embarrassed to say I ate it all but I couldn't help it.

Service was friendly although they gave my plate to the person next to me, they went back and brought me my food fairly quickly. The horchata was also very good.

It's easily our favorite place for anything birria. From the birria pizza to the tacos, everything is incredible. The dipping consomé is seriously to die for, and the meat is cooked to absolute perfection. The service is great, and the Chicano art painted throughout the restaurant gives the whole place such a cool, authentic vibe. We always share the combo because you get a little bit of everything, and trust me, it will definitely fill you up. Seriously, get it. This is our number one taco spot in DFW, and after your first visit, it might be yours too.

Every plate had a generous portion of food which was fresh and delicious. Jasmine was our server, she was attentive, kind and patient in taking our orders and explaining what came with each plate. She also made sure we all enjoyed our meal, had enough to drink and even brought us extra chips and salsa. The restaurant was comfortable, clean and relaxed. My family enjoyed it so much they are already making plans for another get together soon. Also pricing was better than some of the smaller restaurants we usually frequent.

Not sure why he expected to get 20% tip for not doing anything. Got refills and chip refills 10 minutes before we left. It's too hot in there because everybody leaves the doors open. Waited forever to get a table. Watching at least five groups (inside where we were waiting for and they weren't small groups) get sat as we waited for them to put two tables together. I just hate how servers nowadays thinking they get 20% for doing nothing... wish that would change.

They sat us in the bar area, by the kitchen door,did not ask if we wanted to be seated in the bar area. Our waiter changed mid way through receiving our food.

I would go back just for a quick lunch, Nachos and a Sweet Tea or a Coke Cola. I saw great reviews and this was why we stopped in but I would rather see honest reviews and try it for myself.
