Food was great, the ambience was nice. Really enjoyed each of our dishes. Would definitely come back again.

Food was just the right blend of spices. Service was excellent!!! And on a day with outdoor festival! Very impressive!!! We will return!!! The cocktails...one margarita-no salt or tajin needed on the rim---Amazing flavor!!! One Old Fashioned- watching the bartender make with such precision left me thinking, "this guy is an artist!" The flavor-PERFECT read more

Tinie's Mexican is a cool little, and I emphasize LITTLE spot on South Main. It's located next to The Tarantula Tiki bar (so much fun, check them out), across from The Amphibian Stage. They are a great place to get a lot of small plates and share. There's nothing bad on their menu, everything is delicious. Check them out! read more

Service & food was great. Location was confident. The rooftop had a great view. Decor was classy

Wow what a find! My new favorite place for queso, tacos and margaritas. Awesome happy hour and great staff!

In our quest to try out all the eateries on South Main, we finally visited Tinie's. What's it about exposed brick that makes you want to have a good time? One of life's mysteries I guess. Either way, walking in you'll find Tinie's to be quite welcoming, be it the exposed brick adorning the walls or the bar that is prominently featured in the dining room. There was plenty to ponder with all the great options on the menu. Some of the appetizer choices alone could have made for a good lunch, be it the tamales, empanadas, or ceviche. With tacos on my mind, we opted for the guacamole and those great in-house made chips and moved on to the rest of the menu. For my taco order I went with the Braised Goat, Rotisserie Chicken, and the Duck Confit, which was a special at the time. While all the tacos were great, I was a bit surprised to find that the rotisserie chicken to be the best of the trio. The Wife loved the torta she ordered and we polished off our delicious lunch with some solid house margaritas. So we now understand the hype with Tinie's and along with an outdoor patio and upstairs area that can be rented out for parties or events, is worth checking out. We will definitely be back. 4.5 stars read more

Service was horrible. Food wasn't great. Couldn't even get refills on water. Would prob never come back.

Great food and awesome ambiance in the bustling South Main corridor -- the patio upstairs is perfect for a margarita with the Fort Worth skyline in the distance! read more

We met up for happy hour on a Thursday and scored at table on the rooftop patio. It is a nice enough view that is best seen at night. The good: The service was fantastic. I believe our waitress was Elizabeth and she was delightful. The drinks were great and have good happy hour prices, but the bar menu does not apply to the patio. The bad: The guac. I don't know if it was an off day because there are plenty of reviews raving, but it was literally just mashed avocado with some cotija cheese sprinkled on the top. The menu states serrano peppers in it, but there was neither the flavor nor the heat. I grow serrano peppers, I am very familiar with them. It was not seasoned, no lime, nothing. Mashed avocado for $10.50. Southside is up and coming and the prices prove it. read more

We brought some first-timer friends with us to repeat at Tinie's for drinks and dinner on a Friday night and had a great experience! First I want to shout out to our amazing server Libby, who took stellar care of us! We arrived at a busy time and she kept the drinks, food, and refills flowing with a smile. Our guests both had margaritas and said they were outstanding. My +1 likes spicy drinks and asked for some customizations, which the bartender came over to clarify and was very game to mix whatever we were looking for. She liked what he came up with. On our first visit we enjoyed a drink in which they smoked the glass in front of us with rosewood chips. Mixology is definitely a strength here. We tried the Pulpo, which was delicious and cooked perfectly. We split two of the "large format" dishes between the four of us: Mexican Rotisserie Chicken and Crispy Duck Carnitas​. None of these dishes wowed us, but were well prepared and had great presentation. I'd like to explore the menu some more before being too harsh on the food. Others have reported high marks for it. Tinie's atmosphere is post modern and fun. Plenty of bar seating is available both up and down stairs. Outside seating on a second story patio (it was really warm outside so we didn't look) looked fun when weather is good for it. The bathroom on the second floor is unisex and had an open window instead of air conditioning when we were there. I assume this will be fixed. ​ Tinie's is an ideal starting point for dinner before walking up and down Main or Bryan to enjoy the bars and breweries of Southside! read more

JOSIAH- our waiter was absolutely amazing! Everything he recommended was great. From appetizers to drinks to...DUCK' yes, he talked us into it. Sooo good. Very patient and kind, we didn't need for anything. He was on it without being too much. Great environment, music, everyone working there seemed nice and welcoming Can't wait to come back when it's a bit cooler outside to enjoy the patio area. Guac Trio- 5/5 Octopus- 5/5 Ceviche 5/5 Duck Dinner 5/5 Brownie Dessert 5/5 SO good. Just wish it was warmed a bit more. But great! read more

Bartender mixed me up his favorite Mezcal cocktail and 6 days later I'm still dreaming about it. So smokey and delicious! Food was also good. That crispy octopus... sooooooo good! ORDER IT. Tacos de Birria were good, although certainly not the best I've ever had. Skip. I think they named the restaurant Tinie's after the portion sizes. The items under the "comida" heading on the menu were either designed for small children or the expectation is that guests order 2-3 per person. Knowing how "tinie" the portions were, I think the bartender should have recommended we either double our order or add a side of rice and beans (which doesn't come with the "comida" selections). These quibbles aside, we were impressed with the drinks, the food, the service, and the ambiance. Will return on another date night. read more

My boyfriend and I came tonight With friends and could not have been more disappointed with the $100 we spent. Our server had no idea the happy hour time, we ordered 4 drinks thinking they were all happy hour and none needed up being but 2 should have been per website, the other 2 should have been per her saying it ended at 7. She couldn't tell us what apps were on the happy hour. Our server then told us that the portions are so large and serve 2-3- we had a group of 6 in total. Our meal came and we barely had enough food. There wasn't enough chips to finish our queso and guac and she took it away still filled instead of Offering more. read more

I've been coming to Tinies for years! Always love it, every time! Their new GM Toby was incredibly helpful and kind. He made us feel welcome and educated us on specials. I'm so glad they're bringing in new beers and updating their brunch menu! Stop by and check it out. You won't regret it! read more

Took 15 minutes for waitress to show up. Had a reservation and served hot water while waitstaff stood in corner pointing at us. I wouldn't recommend this spot to any local person. read more

This place was everything I wanted plus more. The food was absolute perfection, the drinks were delicious made with quality ingredients, and the service was the cherry on top! We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few small plates followed by dessert. Portions were perfect for sharing. It's tough to pick a favorite but if I had to it would probably be the sirloin tacos. The guacamole is a must, it goes with everything and is so crisp and fresh. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Tinie's - Octopus - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

It's original concept over time has transformed from a fast-casual Mexican rotisserie to encompass the fine & upscale. There are small dishes and large family-style options.

I was really surprised by the octopus. It was so tender and smooth. I have seen some enticing shots of their brunch. I'll have to go back for brunch asap. read more

This restaurant and mezcalaria created by Sarah Castillo (Taco Heads) is really beautiful. Making use of a gorgeous 80+ year old building in the ever-burgeoning Southside, it's vibe and cuisine is very modern Mexico City. Downstairs is the main restaurant and bar and then there's a cocktail lounge called El Escondite on the second floor. It's the kind of place you can dress up for, chic and upscale and intimate, but it's ultimately cool and casual. Here's what me and my parties have ordered: Queso: chorizo verde, charred poblano, and house chips -- creamy and delicious! Crispy Octopus: potatoes, chorizo, chipotle aioli, oiled cured chiles, frisée -- sooo good. The char on the octopus is perfect. Aguachile de Snapper: apple, banana, radish, cilantro -- really bright and refreshing. Shrimp Ceviche: mango, serrano, jicama, leche de tigre -- one of the best ceviches I've had. And so pretty. Tuna Tostada: avocado, chipotle aioli, jicama, cilantro, lime -- fresh with so much great texture. Tacos de Tenderloin: chipotle rubbed tenderloin, spicy onion compote, cotija, cilantro -- super flavorful and tender meat. Tacos de Birria: braised goat, mole negro, radish -- I love goat!! Wish they gave you a consommé for dipping. Hand-made Empanadas -- didn't eat these as they aren't gluten free, but they looked and smelled amazing. House-made Tamales -- delicious. The masa is so good! Tacos... they've got all kinds of tacos, go on a Tuesday! Every dish is really beautifully plated and so colorful. You'll definitely want to take pictures of everything. I can't wait to come more often to make use of the rooftop patio. When the weather is nice sit up there and enjoy a little south Fort Worth skyline. read more

First time visit and it was wonderful. We really liked the look and feel of the restaurant and bar. Warm cozy and a bit rustic. Very comfortable and relaxing environment . Drinks were awesome- enjoyed the fresh choices. And food was very good. Flavorful but not overly salted. Table enjoyed tacos , salads and amazing fajitas. All were so pleased and impressed. Server was friendly and attentive. Will be back! Thanks so much. read more

I went on a night they had posted on instagram they'd have $1 tamales. To my disappointment it was only for late hours regardless I wanted to try them. $60 for 12 tamales is crazy but I was too scared to say never mind and hungry. I decided to still give them the benefit of the doubt and it was disappointing to say the least. So much dough and barely any filling. Atmosphere was great and service was splendid but the tamales were so disappointing. Haven't been there since read more

Service was terrible. Everyone taken care of but ours.. we found 2 black curly hairs in the breakfast tacos... Food not the greatest... go to Mercado or Joe T's!!! read more

This is the first time in a long time that I ate a meal with my eyes closed it was so good

I very much enjoyed my time at Tinie's. The mood is set as soon as you walk through the door with the dim lights and red neon sign that illuminates the staircase to the second floor bar and rooftop dining area. The beautiful bar on the second floor is called "Escondite". It's rustic yet modern and seemed like a very good place for happy hour. We sat on the rooftop which was lovely and the view at night time was quite nice. Highly recommend sitting out here on a day or night when the weather is nice. I was with a large group, so we got a few apps and platters of tacos (it was Taco Tuesday) to share. The queso was a fast favorite, but the crispy octopus won me over in the end. If you're a fan of goat the braised goat taco is a must try, but all of the tacos were quite yummy. I would definitely suggest checking this spot out for a date night or happy hour with friends. read more

Usually whether you go sit on McDonald's or a high end restaurant; you don't chew thinking: "what is the food cost of what I'm eating?" Often I see menus and shake by the prices. You go to Rosa's and get a bean & cheese for $1something. Then go to a high end restaurant and make comparisons that ruin your experience. And that's has been a battle in my mind that I've been trying to resolve. So this place had being in my radar for sometime. At first I thought was Italian for the longest. But my food partner (My fiancé: yaaaassss! She said yes May 9, 2022!!!!) corrected me few weeks ago. So we wanted some tacos or mexican food in any way possible. Yelp throw us here and when we open the door immediately felt out of place. We thought we were about to encounter a "Fuel City Tacos" or "Torchys" kinda taco place. But it leaned more towards the high end. Clearly it wasn't my average taco. First thing that my attention caught was how small and loud it was inside. If it wasn't because how loud ppl were chatting you would think was the most intimate vibe. The host in the front asked if if have reservation. Clueless we said no. But she found a table for us. As we walk the dining room it gets darker with even less light than the entrance. The decor was somewhat elegant, touched with rustic gold details and rough walls hidden in dark. Now the bar was everything to me as far as how it looks. Imagine walking though shadows. And at the end of the room is the bar. Shining like if it was flout on a stage. We got to sit in the dining room. But we knew there was no way would enjoyed our meal there. So I asked the server if we could sit at the bar. She said yes. The bar was empty. Ready set with plates and menus. Kelly the bartender quickly introduced herself and allowed us few minutes to explore the menu. The bar is essentially filled up with tequila and mezcal. Which I found very interesting. I honestly don't remember seeing wine at all. And almost right away we realized this place is going straight Mexican as they could. I mean they have an entire menu dedicated to tequila and mezcal full. We order a flight of shots each. Tequila for her, mezcal for me. We know tequila. But mezcal only in telenovelas lol. It has settled citrus but almost savory smoky flavor. Very delightful! I also saw a cocktail with a liquor I had before. But I had never seen in Texas (Liquor 43). So I ask Kelly if she could make me a cocktail I used to drink back in college. And she nailed it all the way! So are curious and get to meet Kelly, ask her! I'm sure she will remember. Even the couple next to us ordered the same drink. Ok to the food! The food menu didn't really scream at me. It was almost like going to my usual Mexican restaurant. I order some birrias plus some potato tacos. And I'm not trying to be dismissive or talk trash. They were ok. But for the cost it was not great in my opinion. Fort Worth has open so many mexican and Tex-mex restaurant within the last 2-5 years. That almost at any corner you could find a great taco. The presentation was really good, it tasted well. But I'm not sure if it was enough to be like: ugh I want to come back! Overall it was a good experience. Excellent service and a cool vibe. However, I don't necessarily feel as excited for the food. Would I come back to keep exploring the menu, and perhaps have a second thought on my review? Possibly. read more

Double date done *so* well at Tinnie's! The vibe was perfect -- atmosphere allowed for conversation without having to shout over the table. Recommend: house marg (Reposado + jalapeño) + blackened Mahi Thank you, Shay, for attentive service! read more

Another Ft Worth "foodie" told me about Tinies and suggest giving it a try. We showed up to Tinies around 3pm on a Saturday, the dining room was fairly empty with at least 5 open tables. I was immediately told by the host that if I didn't have a reservation, they could not seat me. My only option was to sit at the bar. I ended up leaving. I made a reservation and came back for brunch on a Sunday. We were seated at the smallest table in the building and I asked to be moved to a regular sized table. After allowing us to move to a different table, our server came by and took drink orders, we also ordered the Empanadas as they seemed very popular. The empanada filling was tender and delicious, but the outside was more like a soft dough instead of a crispier texture. Not sure if this is normal or if we got premature empanadas. We also ordered the Pappas Y Hongos and Tora with side salad. If you don't read anything else, read this next sentence: If you are not a mushroom fanatic, do not order this menu item. I was under the assumption that this would be more heavy on the potatoes, eggs, etc with some mushrooms mixed in, but that was not the case. I basically got a plate filled with carmelized mushrooms with a side of soggy potatoes and a fried egg on top. It was very hard to eat and it was really disappointing. The Torta was good, but it was mostly bread and some lettuce leaves on the side. For 3 food items and water, our bill was $50+ and the plates were very small. Not sure if "Tinies" refers to their portion sizes or something else, but overall unimpressed. I posted some pictures as well to show the food complaints. As you can see, the Torta is mostly bread with minimal fillings. The salad is basically a few lettuce leaves with stuff thrown on top. Overrated. Can't recommend this place based on my two experiences. read more

We where just dying man. Couldn't find a place to eat...I said next place we see we go. Boy will I never do that again. This place is the definition of MID. This is off nothing but the menu. I mean i haven't hated a piece of paper this much since my separation papers when they took my kids (f them kids) the food was great. Even though the portion was the size of my left testicle, it was still great. Overall 4/5 just cause i know what this place caters to and we are CLEARLY not it. If you like this video then don't go there. read more

This place rules. Food was fantastic. I had the chicken enchiladas, and, oh boy. They make a mean cosmo too.

I've dined at Tinie's several times in the past month and have had a wonderful experience each time. The ambiance was perfect for a fun evening out with friends. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious. I love the small plates at Tinie's. Everything comes in threes, so order a double order if you've got five in your party. I recommend starting with the Tres Amigos cocktail, a pineapple and jalapeno drink that is the perfect sweet-and-sour starter. Choose the potato taquitos, the trio of guacamoles, and the aguachile for your first round of small plates. The potato taquitos sound pedestrian, but they are a real show-stopper. The fried taquitos pair well with the vinegary sweetness of the aguachile of mahi and the fun toppings on the guacamole trio. Your dinner party will kick into high gear for the next round of drinks (try the Ay Pápi) and tapas. I recommend the empanadas and a selection of tacos, but for sure, the steak tacos. The empanada pastry is so flavorful, it's hard to stop at just one. The portions are generous for small plates, and the presentation is top-notch. Overall, I highly recommend Tinie's for any age, any night, and any occasion. read more

Ignore the "portion size" reviews. They obviously didn't read the menu correctly or aren't used to this type of elevated cuisine. I will say that this type of dining is definitely rare in Fort Worth, so the local standard is more on the "tex-mex" side. But again... this is FAR from your local tex-mex spot. If you are coming here expecting tacos and heaps of cheese, go somewhere else. THIS IS NOT TEX-MEX. I am always hesitant to try new places like these because they can absolutely be extremely over-priced. But we were extremely happy with our meal. Everything we ordered was fantastic. Truly an elevated cuisine. I did not think the items were OVER-priced. Is it cheap? No. Is is worth it? YES! It's clear that there is a lot of work and thinking that goes into this food. The ingredients were fresh, the culinary details in everything from the sides to the mains were such a great surprise. read more

The drinks and the guacamole were AMAZING and on point. The presentation was also great but definitely not a fan of the prices (for what you get) and their menu. We also put in for a 6pm reservation for the rooftop and they sat us on the patio by the street. We were disappointed because it was so hot so we asked to move inside and they said they were fully booked and had no room but yet many tables were open so then we asked to move to at least a table under the shade on the patio and we were given a hard time about that too. Food was expensive for what it was and honestly the potato taquitos seemed like literally steamed potato fried in a tortilla. Also empeñadas were dry. There were flies all around and we were sweating while eating dinner. Definitely not what we were expecting and not planning on coming back. Presentation does not meet expectation. If you're hungry don't come expecting to be full without going near triple digits for cost. We are flying out of here &not coming back read more

Don't go here! Don't waste your time or money at this racist place! Me and two girlfriends decided to dine here yesterday evening. The first Friend arrived, and she asked for a table inside. The hostess told her they only had outside seating because all the indoor seating was taken by reservations. The hostess was a tall lady with gray colored eyes. My friend said outside seating was fine so they sent her outside. She ordered some apps then I arrived and when I arrived, they told me where my friend was seated. I looked around the restaurant and there was about 5 to 8 empty tables and I asked if we could be seated inside and she told me the same thing so I go outside to the patio and sit with my friend later on three white girls sit next to us out on the patio and they were there. Maybe two minutes the waiter came out and they told them if they could be moved inside and they quickly got up and moved them inside. The third Friend arrived shortly after this incident she said that the hostess told her oh are you here with your Hispanic friends and they're outback in the patio? She sat down in the patio area with us when another couple was seated and again they asked to be moved inside and they didn't move them at this point. I was really irritated so I asked the waiter and told them that we were told there was no inside seating because they were all reserved but mentioned how the other two tables were sat down and moved inside immediately when asked the waiter said he would see what he could do. It took them a bit to go back-and-forth and finally they move this inside. I was really disappointed and frustrated as this is the first and last time I will be going to this establishment do not waste your time or money once again when we were moved inside, I looked around and the tables were still empty mind you we were there a good timeframe anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours and the tables were never used! And literally every single person that was dining inside was white the only other Hispanics or the workers and me and my group of friends... Very disappointing. I will definitely be posting my review all over the place to let others know about the horrible service at this location, don't waste your time money or energy here never going back!!! read more

A coworker and I came for dinner on a Taco Tuesday - amazing food! We split the trio guacamole, empanadas, chipotle tenderloin tacos, and queso; we also did drinks. We enjoyed everything and the recommendations from our server were spot on. I would definitely come back! read more

The place has changed a lot since we first started coming. The menu has changed quit a bit which wouldn't necessarily be an issue if the food quality was still the same. We ordered the goat cheese salad to split, and two different taco dishes. The salad was nothing like we've had previously. The tacos were accompanied by a pile of clump that was supposed to be a hearty cabbage mix. Not worth the drive across Fort Worth anymore. read more

Ambiance was nice. Was greeted with "do you have a reservation" I did not have one and the hipster host acted like it would be a problem. I asked if we could get a table on the upstairs patio and was told you can have a table on the downstairs patio. The service was good but the food was not. We ordered the queso and it was bland. The pork tacos were sweet with no salsa. The empanadas were just ok. I wouldn't recommend this place for a Mexican dinner. They don't serve miller light. The mixed drinks were good but $15 each. I left feeling unsatisfied with the entire experience. read more

This is a bit of a late post but better late than never! So I ventured over to Tinie's in Fort Worth for eats and drinks Saturday evening with friends. This is a beautiful part of town first off! It's a cute kind of vintage looking pocket/side of town with the cobblestone roads as well as lots of restaurants and shops to explore. We started off by just ordering a bunch of items to share! The tuna tostadas to me were the hit of the night and I would 100 percent order that again. The avocado, jicama and fresh cilantro really gave it incredible flavor. I also tried what I believe was the crispy octopus which also did not disappoint. It would not have been something I would have ordered on my own but I was without a doubt pleasantly surprised. We also had a few other dishes like the grilled mahi mahi and a steak looking taco dish that were good. Everything was just freshly and creatively made and colorful. They have a rooftop upstairs that was pretty full and another cute date night looking area. I was glad we made reservations and I recommend you make them as well if you dine here on the weekends. Free parking though in the area which is a definite plus in the city. read more
