  Goal: ApplePie. Achieved. Got it to go. Was great. Really like the cinnamon ice cream that comes with it. The pie was served super hot which made it extra good. The crust was the best part.

  Ramiro was AMAZING!!! truly the best server both my boyfriend and I have ever had. from start to finish, he was attentive, personable, and made our entire experience feel special. we ordered the steak fajita nachos (not pictured), the spicy chicken verde, and Mariano’s Favorite and every single bite was absolutely delicious. everything came out perfectly and full of flavor. between the phenomenal service and incredible food, this was easily a 10/10 experience. we’ll definitely be back for our man Ramiro!

  Racist vibes today! I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience needs to be shared. I experienced what felt like racially biased treatment during my visit. The way I was spoken to and treated compared to other customers was unacceptable. No one should have to question whether they’re being treated differently because of their race. It left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Restaurants should be spaces where everyone feels respected. I hope management addresses this seriously and ensures better training and accountability moving forward.

  Mariano's has been our favorite casual Tex-Mex spot in Dallas for years. I've been eating here since I was a child, and it was on Greenville Avenue. It's that kind of place. The food is high quality, fresh, and delicious. Let's talk about the food. They of course bring out chips and salsa. The chips are freshly made. They are crisp, hot, and delicious. They serve two kinds of salsa. One is a traditional red salsa, which has some heat (and is delightful,) the other is a smokey roasted red salsa served warm. It's the star of the show. We've had numerous appetizers, all are top notch, but the chile con queso and beef fajita nachos are what really shine. I've not had a better queso anywhere. The beef fajita nachos are second to none. The beef is melt in your mouth tender. The chips aren't the basket chips. They make them just for the nachos. They a hefty and flat and never get soggy. The beans are smoky and flavorful. If you prefer to start with soup, I highly recommend their tortilla soup. It's simple and fresh and not overly fussy. I've never had an entree I didn't love. Their enchiladas are all fantastic. They aren't super imaginative, but they are the best for what they are. Their red rice is solid, and the refried beans are delicious. I've not had a better mar de Tierra. It's jalapeno and cojita stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon and sided with ranchero bean soup, which is stellar in itself. I have their veggie fajitas a number of times. They are smokey, flavorful, and filling. Speaking of fajitas, they make their tortillas in house and they are sublime. I'll let everyone in on a little secret. Mariano's aims to please and will make generous substitutions. If they have the ingredients, they will make what you want if you are polite. That policy speaks to their service in general. Many of the servers have been there for years. Service is fast, and reliable. It's the kind of place where the server doesn't bug you, but are around if you need something. I've only had an issue once in 30 adult years, and it was due to shift change. They comped part of our meal and we didn't even say anything other than politely letting the manager know we hadn't seen our server in 20 minutes. As far as atmosphere goes it's warm and inviting. It's a large restaurant, but manages to feel smaller. It's not quiet, but conversation isn't difficult. It is crowded and there is usually a 30 minute to hour wait during dinner on the weekends, so be prepared. It's honestly the only place left that we go that ever has a wait anymore. It's because it's so good.
