The Scene – Bright colors, mounted animals heads and a fun bar area with a thatched grass roof set a cheerful, lively tone at this busy Lake Highlands spot (there's often a wait.). A stream of families and couples keep the staff on its toes. An outdoor patio overlooks Skillman--not much of a view, but it sits nice and high off the road. – – The Food – Mexican combo plates, absolutely; but as part of the La Hacienda family, Mariano's has big ol' steaks, too, from tenderloins to T-bones.

Always great!

We have been here several times (5-7) and it was wonderful every time. The chips and salsa are great, my husband loves the fish tacos and I love the new spinach enchiladas. The service has always been prompt and friendly. Highly recommend
- Pros: Margarita on the rocks

Fajita Heaven
by lhseume at Citysearch
My husband and I found this place after a trip to Super Target, yes it's a chain but the atmosphere and the food make it a frequent stop. The fajitas for two are succulent and tender (I recommend beef) also a treat is the table-side guacamole; it's fresh and perfectly seasoned. The wait staff is always welcoming and the patio features openness and fans for the hot summer and heaters for the cool Dallas evenings. Also for us frequent patrons they have the 'Marianos card', after so many visits you get a free meal, always a good deal. Highly recommend it!
- Pros: Food, atmosphere
- Cons: None!
