Big comfy booths, table-side guacamole, custom designed log-fired grills which make for the best fire-roasted salsa, fajitas, and seafood... it's just the best! Mariano's is perfect for any casual meal, but it's also a super festive and fun environment for occasions. Plus it's big if you need to fit a large party. On my last visit my group shared a bunch of stuff and it was all yum. Chips and salsa and queso, bean and cheese nachos, brisket tacos, Spanish style enchiladas, and the Texas "surf & turf" (sizzling steak fajitas + bacon-wrapped shrimp). Everything was served quickly and piping hot. The service here is great, it really feels like everyone knows exactly what they're doing.

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.

We waited about 20 minutes and then were seated. We started out with the Texas Whisky Margarita. We asked her if the drink was sweet and she said no but it actually was sweet after we received it. Luckily she did give us a little extra whisky to make the drink less sweet. The food was good but not great. We got the sampler with Birrieria tacos, pizza and chicken tacos with rice and beans on the side. Overall the food and drinks were ok but not outstanding.

Got pretty crowded by the time we left around 2:00 rising to a little bit noisy noise level. We got a guacamole side, taco plate, chicken chimichanga, and blue Cancun drink. Everything was pretty good sized. However, the guac and drink respectively were padded with lettuce and ice. Despite the padding, you still got a good amount--just not as much as it appears. The quality of everting was good, nothing was exceptional, but it was above average. The manager, server, and hostess were all very nice and provided good service. The lot was crowded both when we got there and when we left, but we were able to get a spot. Nice place for a casual sit down or business lunch. Give them a try.

It was a Friday evening, it had been a long week, and we were in the mood for some outdoor dining…read more El Arroyo has one of the top rocking patios in the DFW area. We decided to head over to the ever popular El Arroyo. We were hoping to be able to find a parking spot in their packed parking lot. I say this kindly since El Arroyo is very popular and to plan accordingly. I'm an amputee and there are only two handicapped spaces. Arriving we were optimistic, and we were in luck. We didn't get a handicapped spot but one just as good on the end of a row allowing my lots of room to transfer to my mobility chair. We love El Arroyo's patio, and it was going full blast. The hostess tagged the perfect accessible table for us and had it cleaned and set! We settled in and were greeted with salsa and a basket of piping hot chips. There was an awesome vocalist singing America standards in the background. She was wonderful, I wish I had gotten her name. Ashley, our incredible server, greeted us and took our drink order. It was definitely margarita time. We love their margaritas! They're a must if you're dining at the restaurant. After looking at the menu, my wife and I decided to split an order of chicken fajitas for one. We've found out fajitas for one are perfect for the two of us. The order usually provides at least two fajitas for each of us. So that's what we ordered. This would be the first time we'd ordered fajitas at the restaurant. In a jiff, Ashley delivered our margaritas to the table. She apologized that the food may take a bit longer since it was Friday evening and the restaurant was slammed. We told her we were in no hurry and just wanted to relax. We sat back, munched on chips and salsa and enjoyed the live entertainment. After a reasonable wait, dinner was served! Our chicken fajita entree was delivered smoking and sizzling along with all the necessary sides. Oh my, the fajitas smelled so good. We knew by the smoky smell they were going to be incredible, and YES, they were. They were some of the best chicken fajitas we've ever had. The chicken had just the right amount of marinade on it, and it was grilled to perfection. The side, rice, refried beans, guac and pico, were perfectly prepared and seasoned. To the flour tortillas, they were some of the softest and most tender tortillas we've had. To top the evening's visit off, Ashley, even though she was super busy, took excellent care of us. Thank you, El Arroyo for a relaxing dining experience, superior customer service with a smile, and a pronominal order of chicken fajitas. We'll see you again soon.

I've been a lifelong fan of this popular Mexican entree. This was one of the best I've had in a while. Crispy exterior with a shredded beef filling and smother with a cheese sauce. The Anaheim pepper was a great addition to the entree as it provides a little more heat than the typical poblano pepper. Great food great service and price during happy hour is very budget friendly
