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

Coffee is good and husband loves drinking out of the clay mugs. Friendly service. Order & pay at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. We'll be back!

Nice and clean inside mostly booths. Starting with chips and salsa, the chips are freshly made fried corn tortillas. Not my favorite. I like lighter corn chips. I ordered the beef fajitas. Not bad, the meat needs a grill char. It tasted more steamed. The charro beans were good. I also had a small house margarita. I have had much better margaritas. We also ordered the Chili Relleno with cheese. It had a light egg batter with no crust. It was good. Overall I feel they were okay just not for me. But they do have a fan base and they like the food they serve.

Birria...everything! Like many in Fort Worth, I was drawn to Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez with the…read moreheadlines that they received Michelin recognition. A local place that serves amazing Birria, count me in! We made our jaunt for a Friday lunch and they were busy. There's plenty of space here - they have both outdoor and indoor seating but given that it was still hot AF, most everyone was crammed inside. The menu is quite expansive. As I said, its birria galore. Usually when hit with this much goodness I try to default with some of the tried and true recommendations, so I opted for the Quesataco Combo: 3 birria and cheese tacos, with all the fixings. Amazing. decadent. delicious. Plenty of words to describe the great birria they dish out here. Happy to say Birrieria y Taqueria Cortez lives up to the hype and if you're like me and you love some birria, definitely give it a shot. We will be back to try some birria pizza or even the birria ramen. Can't go wrong here.

When I was on my birria kick I would drive from Arlington all the way here because no other place came close. The meat is full of flavor and spice and the conzume they bring out with it is just as good. Its full of spice and flavor and I straight up drink that by itself, i dip my tortillas with it. I usually put salt and lemon on the tortillas and then roll them up and dip em in the conzume. In the past, I had the ramen, the platillo, the tacos, and I think the quesabirria, they are all delicious but my favorite is the quesabirria and the tacos, followed by the ramen. The menu is small but just stick with the tacos or buy the meat by the pound, and you are good to go. The rice and beans are average but still good; the salsas they have on the table are amazingly delicious. The light green one is my favorite because is not too spicy but spicy enough to give me that kick am looking for in my food. I drown my food in that salsa sometimes and then dip in conzume. In the past, I also had their margaritas, and they are delicious! The mango with chamoy and Tajín on the rim is my favorite! They have a patio in the back with another bar and more Tv's. The staff is nice, but the last 2 times i been there it took over 10 minutes to just get a waiter to recognize i had not been help and place my drink order with them. I notice the staff tends to pay more attention to bigger parties instead of groups of just 1 or 2 customers. I like the atmosphere of this place; the music, the shows they have on the tv and the murals honestly make it feel cozy like I am visiting a family member. I don't come here when they have soccer games on or late at night on the weekends because the customers can get rowdy sometimes, and that's not my vibe. All the time I've been, they have a security officer so people don't get too out of hand. The parking lot is kind of small so if you come on a busy day/time, you might need to park across the street. I never had to wait long to get a table, and the staff is pretty quick about cleaning and turning tables over to keep the wait down.

I tried 2 cheese enchiladas, one work ranchera sauce and one with chipotle. Both were tasty - definitely a Tex mex vibe. They weren't exactly the taste I was looking for that's close to what I grew up eating, but it was good still. My kiddo also had an enchilada and ate most of it and my husband had a burrito that he said was okay. Our server was nice, she was also working a party of about 33 at the time and was quite busy. It did take awhile for our check to arrive after requesting it, but overall it was solid service.

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.

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. The chili con carne was not chili it was chili sauce. Yuck! The only reason why I am rating at all was the nachos were good and my drink was refilled without me having to ask. 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.
