Joe's Cafe Forth Worth Tx Owner Review

This place is AMAZING I left my purse with Alllll my credit cards and identification health insurance and phone and Ethan a wonderful waiter btw put my purse up for me. Oh also i would like to add a wonderful man that was a great photographer took pictures and developed them of me and mother who is sick with terminal cancer and diabetes real bad and I'm not sure how much time i will have with her anyways. Point of the story.... Mr. Joe and Heather personally kept my purse in their private office and gave me my purse with everything in it thanks you guys !!!

Great food. Kinda loud in the back meeting room. Some acoustic panels would be nice--so one doesn't have to yell to speak to someone at the same table.

One of the best places to eat in texas... highly recommend.. you will not be disappointed

It was my first time coming to Joe T's. I had expected a lot better service. Granted we did come at 10pm even though they closed at 11pm. I believe the time was still reasonable. We were not given menus as we were basically told that you served fajitas and the size of fajitas was good for almost the whole table, enchiladas and tacos which come with rice and beans. I had my 9 year old son who is a little picky when it comes to mexican food, needless to say, he didnt eat anything but chips and queso. And we had random food come up to our table like queso we did not order and chalupa taco shells with baked on queso and jalepenos that we did not order as well. I kept looking at other tables as they looked like they had different foods rather than the fajitas, enchaladas and tacos. Very disappointed in the service for this kind of restaurant.

Outstanding food and atmosphere. So glad the Union Gospel Mission uses this location each year!

Very nice place and very good nachos especially with beans

Larger menu is a pleasant surprise but bring cash. Margaritas require a DD!

Didn t like the fact that they had no menu only 2 choices to order from and over charged on tip told waitress that one plate of fajitas was burnt didn t even offered to remake them and for the price bad deal never will go back or recommend

Fort Worth institution. Get there early or there will be a long wait on the weekends.

This place is pretty amazing. Great food, the patio was spectacular, and the our waitress was awesome. The salsa is my favorite! Fajitas are out of this world (the beef is super tender).

This is a Fort Worth tradition that is not to be missed!!

Very worth the line!! Very good fajitas. Plan on 1-2 hrs line wait on Saturday.

Great but too many restrictions to do a dinner party
As of what i heard
Disliked chairs were kinda cheap

The beef fajitas were extremely dry, and the chicken fajitas were very bland. The family dinner came out cold and bland. We spoke to the manager about it, and she didn't seem to care. She also said we ate all of our food, yet almost all of it was still on our plates. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know, especially at this price.

Maybe you have to ask for a menu!!
So we went with the fajitas they looked good
and the service was meh
Be AWARE that they DO NOT TAKE ANY CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD PAYMENTS but they do have a very CONVENIENT ATM how about that

If your passing through Ft Worth, Joe T Garcia's is a go-to place. I stopped here on a road trip from Louisiana to Colorado, and this place did not disappoint. The food here is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, and everyone here is so friendly. There was also live music, which added to the experience of eating here. I will definitely come back and eat here sometime soon

We've had no issues. This was our favorite place for fajitas and margaritas until we sat inside. Lady Manager charged us extra for their mistake with the order. A roach came out behind a picture frame behind me and almost landed on the couple at the next table. Manager insisted it was a water bug. Inside was loud and crowded. The staff is courteous but seem stressed by management. It's better during the week if u are a local. The place is not kid/stroller friendly . We were told to rid our strollers if we wanted a high chair by lady manager which we gladly did but not coming here again. Place is over rated.

A Fort Worth institution. Great food. Great margaritas. Amazing atmosphere. Always packed with locals and visitors alike. The patio area is amazing but the line and wait can be really long. Cash only.

Love the atmosphere and the food. Sat on the patio, wait staff was awesome. We had a large group and it didn't faze them a bit. Loved the Margarita

The food is good, the place itself is very original, the patio seating is beautiful. The flour tortillas are AMAZING.

Fort Worth institution. Food is fresh, from a fixed menu. Cash only. Food is 3 stars, but atmosphere is 5 stars. Excellent for dining outside. Beautiful place.

Amazing food! Totally worth the long wait to sit and eat in the garden. It will blow your mind. Great price, very authentic Tex Mex. Great ambiance.

Always a favorite. Everything tastes great Nachos w/ green chilies appetizer is simple but so delicious.

Get in early because it's always packed out! Delicious food.

Margaritas and atmosphere that's what you come here for. Expect a wait and It's cash only. Take a walk around the premises, beautiful landscaping and multiple water fountains. This place is huge

Being they have a lot of traffic, they do a great job for what they offer. Also, a fantastic scenery.

Awesome fajitas and a generous portion to justify the price.

First, had to wait in line for about 40 mins. Then went to wash my hands in restroom and stepped in a pile of human feces. Then order the enchilads and was brought out an insultingly small portion size compared to the fajitas my friends had ordered. Then the mariachi band would not leave out immediate area. At least an hour of music being blasted right next to us couldn't talk to the people at the table. Unlimited tortia chips tho so that was nice....

If you end up here for whatever reason do not order the enchiladas. The portion for the price was literally insulting

First time here, love the open patio and how big it is

Loved the atmosphere and the food and service is good and quick. A must place to visit if in the area on vacation

Joe T.'s is not just a restaurant with great Mexican food, it's a destination restaurant. The atmosphere is unique and relaxing and the patio part is huge with a different look wherever you look.

First Time trying out this Place. I wasn't too impress and I Love Mexican Food! Be advise if Going TAKE CASH.. They don't do Debit. They have an ATM machine but if you dont want to be charged for using it, Take Note. There will also be a gentleman asking to take pictures of you and or group for a Price if you want to Purchase Photos. (May Give Complimentary Photo)(CASH AS WELL). Over all This Restaurant has a VERY NICE outdoor Patio with Fountains. I liked that the MOST. Very Spacious and not feeling to Cramped or close to another Party.

Food was excellent. The wait was long and the dining room was a little cramped. Overall pretty good.

This place and food are amazing! the margaritas, the atmosphere and outdoor space is nostalgic!

Don't come here for food. The food is average at best. Only come here for margaritas and atmosphere. Not for the truly hungry.

Wow. Great restaurant! I highly recommend checking out Joe T. Garcia's. Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent atmosphere. Don't miss this experience.

You get a good amount of food, but the price is high, and they.only.take cash payment!

Great service, mariachi band, excellent drinks and you can get Margarita pitchers while you're standing in line. Cash only!

awesome place to have dinner with friends when the weather is nice

After all the praise I've heard about this place, the food was very disappointing. Plus, we were definitely pressured to rush through our meal so they could turn the table. Overall a very disappointing experience and I don't plan to return.

Didnt care for the flavor of the chicken in the fajitas,was heavily marinated to where you couldn't tell it from the beef..rice n chips were good, the meat was so-so..service was very good,in and out quickly.i thought the fajitas were overpriced but it does feed two people

Best Mexican food in Texas. Really good Margaritas. Ask for a special margarita.

Outdoor patio awesome. Food left a whole lot to be desired. Overall I believe this place is very overrated. Guacamole was nothing special. Cheese enchilada was greasy, and not the good greasy. Fajita s were lacking in that mesquite grilled texture and flavor. Cheese nacho s??? One big tortilla with cheese melted on it. And if you don t have much company to share your meal with, no worries, the flies keep you company throughout your meal.

Best Tex Mex in DFW only wish I didn't live an hour away

First time to visit. Great staff. Good food. Nice seating areas.

Absolutely gorgeous evening to sit in the gardens. Margaritas were delicious as always. Food and service was excellent.

Great place to eat. Lots of food for the price. But lines were long

Phenomenal garden vibe with excellent mexican food.

Favorite Mexican restaurant in Ft. Worth; & I'm a 62 year native Texan!

Weird place. Wait for an hour. Choose anything you want to eat as long as it is enchiladas or fajitas. Service is fast once you're in.

50 bucks for cheap Mexican food and a breeding ground for flies. Not even the incredible atmosphere could save the experience. Not worth your time or money unless your going just to get drunck or be seen.

Amazing food great price you get more than you can eat!

Excellent pitcher of margaritas food great and setting is perfect

The atmosphere is why I come here. Its great! I love the patio and it is huge! The food is your average mexican food, and it is good. They only have two options when you come, enchiladas or the fajitas. You get quite a bit a food and it is very afforadble. The food comes out super fast, but depending on the time you come you could wait an hour or more in line waiting to get in. If you come in the winter be prepared with warm clothes!!

We call to make reservations for a party of 25, we where told we do not make reservations. We get there waited & waited. We had 6 children ages 3 to 14. They where very hungry some of them started to get very cranky the crying started. I asked if the CHILDREN can get some chips while waiting for table availability . We where told they couldn't do that that they where not allowed. I understand the sitting proces but to take in consideration the CHILDREN where hungry they did not care. Finally after waiting for 2 hrs. We where seated. We come to find out through the some of the staff &manager they do take reservations but they are limited on the number of the reservations they can make per day. It is not a family oriented business.

Server did not say they only accept cash. It wasn t wasn t made clear until it was time to pay. I am not returning.

Hard to beat chips&salsa and Pitchers of ice cold margaritas!

A Fort Worth legend and well worth the accolade. Great food and portions. Staff is always friendly, helpful, and attentive. Whether dining inside or outside in the expansive patio garden it is just a good experience. Large parties easily acomodated, even 100's. A definite special occasion destination, but also suitable as a weekly fine dinner. Worth the wait in busy times but often walk right in and be seated in off peak times.

An incredible atmosphere with the best outdoor dining experience I've ever had. Not to mention the food is amazing!

We enjoyed Joe T.s today. Quick service, good food, fair prices...though I wonder why a Dr. Pepper must cost as much as $3. Was a bit surprised that no menu was handed to us. I guess my cell isn't up to speed about "scanning" a menu at the entrance...but if at age 65, I don't know how to order at a Mexico restaurant without looking at a menu, then call the men in white to take me away to the funny farm. So no big deal.

What is going on with the flies? More flies than customers.

Skip the fajitas, you want the mexican dinner for the nachos and tacos

Limited menu, it used to be a great place, now I will look for other options when in that area.
Must be a new management team, milking the past reputation, SAD.

Went there couple days ago as this was my first visit.....hostess asked us if we were eating inside or patio....it was 100 degrees that day so we ate inside....being this was our first time here that they would have recommended the patio or at least asked us to check it out first....we had dinner inside which consisted of 2 fajita dinners & 2 enchiladas dinners (this is the only entrees they serve)....salsa is really good also....this would be a perfect place to have dinner on the patio when the weather is nice (patio is huge with lots of tables & plants/water features)....our waiter said this restaurant has 3 kitchens & can hold about 1500 people......they only take cash but have several ATMs on the property if you need some cash.

Went on a Friday evening and had no wait which was a surprise! We did not realize the resturant only had 2 menu items which was not a problem but the waiter kinda laughed at us when we asked for a menu but then kindly explained how it worked. The portions are huge so go hungry overall it was tasty and an experience but not sure I would go out of my way to go there again but maybe if I was in the area!

First trip to Joe T.'s - all I can say is AMAZING!!! We loved it. We all had the fajitas, beef and chicken, everything was great and it's huge portions - be prepared to share. Margarita and Swirl was pretty good too. We will definitely be back!
