In Short
The atmosphere is cantina-like, with small, square white cloth-draped wooden tables, whirling ceiling fans, open patio and long bar. For starters, the botanas platter contains a mix of nachos, flautas, quesadillas, mini-tacos and stuffed jalapeños. The menu is divided into Tex-Mex dishes--a variety of enchiladas, tamales, chilies rellenos--and a "From the Grill" section, offering fajitas and other mesquite-grilled specialties. The finishing touch: sopapillas or flan.

This is the one next to Bass Pro. This was our first trip to this location and we will not be back. The food was not good at all, the service was horrible, and the music was so loud the only thing you could hear over it, was the middle age drunks at the bar who should have been cut off many drinks ago. Apparently they charge a gratuity for parties of 6 or more even though the menu states in black and white 8 or more. By the way this includes children under one year of age. At least it did in our case. Four adults and two children both under the age of 5. A 20% gratuity was placed on our check. Typical for what is becoming normal service in the Dallas, Fort Worth area.

HOLY COW THIS PLACE WAS GREAT!!!! I think that about says it all...I heard about this place and decided to take a gander to see what the hype was all about. I went there on a Tuesday night, and man, was this place rocking! The night started off on a pretty good note, when I got there I found out that it was valet parking only, which made me kind of hesitant. But come to find out, valet was only $5 so that was a very pleasant surprise. I then proceeded to the entrance?but didn?t get very far because there was a nice long line to get in. While standing in line, I had a chat with a very nice fellow by the name of ?TINMAN?, he told me about the Tuesday $2 margarita specials and the ?to die for fajitas?. After about 5 minutes of standing in line and watching all of the ?eye candy? that occupied the place, I knew all of the hype was true. Needless to say, I enjoyed every bit of my fajita dinner and after a couple of margaritas, my girlfriend and I had a VERY ENTERTAINING night.

Ok, we loved it so much, we had to go back! And let me say, yes it does get crowded, but to me it's worth the wait. I love the fajitas, and definitely the margaritas! Thanks again, Tinman for getting us a great seat!
