Visited for the first time a week ago and was pleasantly surprised. The patio at night was beautiful. Even ate at Esperanza and pleased there as well. Both with be my Fort Worth spot from now on.

Everything was great and the wait was only 30mins on a Saturday night the place was packed too. Food came out fast hot & fresh. The bonus was we were able to buy drinks while we waiting in line. Just remember the only take cash no credit cards & they have ATMs just in case you forget.

JTG Isabella was my server and she was amazing. Attentive, kind, and personable. Several people told me to try this place, and I’m glad I listened. JTG on the servers’ uniforms caught my eye right away. Simple Mexican food, but it’s done right. The salsa has a tiny kick, which is perfect for me since I’m a total wuss with spice. It’s super mild, but still has enough flavor to be delicious. The nacho came as cheese on a tortilla, and even that was great. I honestly thought the little building I walked into was the whole restaurant. Nope. There’s a huge garden area outside and an entire second building for indoor seating. The place is massive. Fantastic spot all around

This place is phenomenal! This restaurant has been open for 90 years. The food, service and atmosphere was awesome. It looks like a little restaurant from the front but you walk-through and find yourself in a beautiful botanical garden in the back. I was here for a late breakfast, but can only imagine the atmosphere on an evening. I highly recommend checking this place out. You will not be disappointed.

Went to dinner with a group of ladies today. This restaurant is apparently a staple. I was very disappointed in the chicken tortilla soup I ordered. It was mainly tortilla strips, and the broth was not very flavorful. Hardly any chicken was in my soup. I think the main attraction is the list of famous people that have been there to eat & outside patio area. Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed with the food. Also it’s cash only & they don’t split checks, so it makes it difficult if you’re with a group. Been there, done it, not interested in going back.
