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.   (© 10Best)

Stop in for lunch at Joe T. Garcia's Mexican Dishes. Order the chicken-fajitas, and soak up the lively, Old Mexico cantina-esque atmosphere for which this local institution is known. Scan the many framed autographed photos of celebrities who've eaten here, such as Tiger Woods, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Bette Midler. (from Southern Living)

This is great food and atmosphere
Honestly great food and a fun atmosphere! When we go to Fort Worth we go Joe T. Garcia's. Yes, you have to pay with cash and there are only two items on the menu, but that is why it is so good. This place would not be in business for 60+ years and all over the food network if is stunk. Go and enjoy!

Get over it.
One does not go to Joe T's for the excelent quality of food. What makes Joe T's so great is the margaritas, the atmosphere, the people you see (assuming you are a local), and lets not forget the duet that sings to you while you dine. Let's be honest, once you have finished just one of their magnificent margaritas, their food tastes amazing and you are having such a good time, you don't care. If you are looking for good mexican food, go somewhere else, but if you want an experience that you won't get anywhere else, go to Joe T's. It as fort worth as it gets!

Barf.....
40-yr resident of Ft. Worth. It is mind blowing to me people actually think the food here is good. Not only is it not good, it is disgusting. I'm Hispanic and and ashamed so many come here and think this is what Mexican food tastes like. Beautiful scenery and patio if you just want a drink - but have plenty of Tums handy if you plan on eating. Dos Molinas or El Asadero are much better places to eat nearby.
