    First time visiting. What a beautiful restaurant. It is not just a great restaurant to eat at but the outdoor garden/patio area is like a botanical garden. What an experience. I had the chimichangas. They were delicious. A couple of things to note. The line for the gardens is long but moves pretty quickly. You can go inside and get a drink from the bar to enjoy while you are waiting. They only accept cash. There are two ATM"s on the premises. Don't miss visiting this restaurant.

    First time coming here before the rodeo. The food was delicious and the service was awesome. Our waitress was very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. There is a free parking lot right across from the main entrance. There is large beautiful patio area with heaters and a beautiful fountain as a center piece. The servings were very generous so if you leave hungry that’s on you. And keep in mind this restaurant is CASH only no credit or debit cards. They do have an ATM on site as well. Make sure you get there early as there is a long wait other wise.

    Yes, it's an experience and the food is just okay. But it's a Fort Worth tradition, so we had to go. The margaritas are good. The chips and salsa are good. You get a ton of food. I enjoyed the guacamole. You have to ask for chicken if you want it, it's not on the menu anymore. The menu is very pared down. Our server was fantastic. And even though there was a line, we were in and snacking on chips in 20 minutes. They run that place with precision. They had the mariachi band, so you really do get the full experience. Love their patio area.

    My boyfriend wanted me to try Joe’s. First off, it was a super long line outside of the restaurant. We stood outside for more than 30 mins and it would’ve been longer, but since there were only two of us, they came to seat us before some other groups. The place is so big and there’s so much seating. The decor is really nice and there’s a fountain in the middle. Our waitress was really nice and accommodating. My boyfriend ordered the combo fajita with chicken and beef which was really yummy and flavorful. I got the cheesy enchilada dinner which was very very cheesy. The rice and beans were good and the tacos were too, I just wish it had more beef. Overall, it was a great experience despite the long wait, but then again, that shows how good the place is. It’s also cash only, but they have an ATM.

    If your in FT Worth Joe T Garcias is a must try! FYI this place is CASH ONLY. ATM machines are available at the restaurant. Usually there is a wait but trust me just the atmosphere of the restaurant is worth the wait. Just go to the bar and grab a famous margarita. Spent 12.50 for one margarita but they are strong and so yummy. We ordered family style for 2. It came with 2 nachos, 2 cheese enchiladas, 2 beef tacos and guacamole for 20. I recommend stopping in to Joe T Garcias for lunch or dinner to enjoy the atmosphere and some yummy food!!!

    Are you kidding me??? This place is surprisingly beautiful! Like dinner in a garden. The chimichangas are out of this world, make sure to get at least a couple orders. We had a very large group and the entire experience was great. Food came out fast, cups were always full and you could hear each other talk. Highly try this place!

    Joe T. Garcia's is incredibly beautiful! We had the combo fajitas—delicious, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It's cash only, so come prepared. We only waited 15 minutes to be seated on a Tuesday at lunchtime. Great food in a stunning setting!

    This restaurant is an experience - highly recommend, if you visit Ft Worth (Stockyards) this is a must visit. Best time is late afternoon into the evening to enjoy the spectacular ambiance! Indoor and outdoors seating, lots of parking - be prepared for long lines during busy times but well with it! Staff friendly and food AMAZING!
