Description:
|
Folks in Fort Worth wouldn't know what to do without Joe T's. For more than 60 years, this family-owned mainstay has been serving up great Mexican fare to people from all around. Dinner entrees are basically limited to enchiladas and fajitas, but they're done so well and come in such substantial portions that no one seems to mind. Guacamole, chips and salsa, and side dishes round out the offerings. Several bars take care of the margarita need, and expansive outdoor gardens and patios house thousands of patrons regularly. In fact, the enclosed greenspace, with its plants and fountains, attracts so many that lines often circle the restaurant. |

Joe T's is one of a kind. Expect a line. Expect a very limited menu (fajitas or cheese enchiladas). Try to get a table by the pool (not for swimming). We had our pre- wedding party there. We love this place. | |

Joe T. Garcia's is one of those necessary to attend restaurants because everyone else is going there. People love it for the atmosphere and the crowd. The place is huge, and they have set up several different banquet areas as well as private dining areas in addition to the general seating. The dinner menu is so simple they don't bring you a menu. You get either fajitas or the enchilada/taco combo plate. These three things make this a very desirable place to have a party of any kind. Lots of rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions are had at Joe T's. It is unfortunate that the food isn't better. Everyone from Ft. Worth has this huge devotion to it, seemingly because of the grandeur and all the partying that gets done there. However, the fajitas, while the meat is very tasty, usually come out tepid at best. Aside from the meat being cold, the tortillas are just run of the mill, despite the fact they are made in-house. The salsa is also terribly average. As with the fajitas, the enchiladas come out as they are cooling instead of bubbling. The cheese has begun to congeal each of the six times I have had the misfortune to be invited to Joe T's. The sides are usually fairly fresh, and sometimes the service from the TCU students is good, but don't go there expecting to have a fabulous dinner. Joe T's has an okay margarita, since they are also made by college students. However, this is the way to weather the storm. Get good and liquored up, enjoy your good company, and fill your belly with mediocre food. If you drink enough beforehand you don't notice the flavor, or lack thereof, quite as much. | |

We were new in Fort Worth and wanted to see what all the excitement was surrounding Joe T. Garcia's reputation. What a horrible disappointment. I don't mind the limited menu if only at least one of the offerings was decent! It was a huge letdown and I would not recommend it to anyone. |
