Mercado Juarez

We ordered chicken fajitas and carne asada. Both were served as hearty portions, hot and fresh. The carne was a little greasy, but we requested napkins and solved the problem.

I have been coming to the Mercado Juarez restaurants for nearly 35 years. My favorite (and most convenient) was the one on Northwest Highway, but that location closed about a year ago. I do not live in Dallas, but I am there for work often, and I try to hit Mercado Juarez on every visit. I have not been to Dallas for close to a year, and on my last trip, I decided to give this location a try again. I have not been to this location for some time, and I was a bit apprehensive as to to the quality was it still as good? Fortunately, I was happily surprised by just how good it is still! We started with Margaritas, tasty as always. My favorite here is the warm salsa, so tasty and wonderful! And the fresh tortilla chips were awesome as well. On this occasion, for starters, we had Queso and Guacamole, both were excellent. For my main course, I usually get Enchiladas, but tonight I went with the carne asada fajitas and I must say, they were the best fajitas I have ever had! The meat was so flavorful and TENDER! Literally, and I know it's a cliché but the steak literally melted in my mouth. Incredible. My dining partner had Cabrito, perfectly cooked and full of flavor as well. Service is spectacular, happy people making people happy! With the plethora of Mexican restaurants here, you can be overwhelmed, but my go to is ALWAYS Mercado Juarez!

It’s been about 15 years since my last visit This was my family’s go to place for tex-mex when we lived in Ft. Worth And it did not disappoint their fajitas are the best ! Great service great food and great margaritas

Saturday night around 5:30 and they were crowded. Plenty of parking though, and we did not have to wait too long ... 15-20 minutes I'm guessing. Worth the wait! Service was quick and server got our orders right. Food was hot, excellent, and very reasonably priced. I liked that they posted their tip policy and it suggested only 15% for outstanding service. No tip was required. We had so much food that we took some home, and total including drinks and tip for 2 people was under $40. The lighting was cheerful and bright enough that you could really see what you were eating. Very pleasant atmosphere, with nice paintings and pictures on the walls. I liked the chips and the salsa ... both fresh and not too spicy, but really good. We had come once before for a late lunch, and had been quite disappointed on that visit in both the food and the service. Very glad we tried it again. This visit both food and service exceeded our expectations. Rice was enhanced with veggie and the beans had real flavor. Tortillas fresh and large (ate some with just butter)

We live on the north side of Dallas and all the Mercado Juarez locations near us have closed. We miss them! An event in downtown Ft. Worth brought us very close to this one. We were delighted to find it! It is just as good as we remember. My husband had the tacos and I had the fajitas in a senior's portion. There was plenty of delicious food for both of us. A sign on the door notes they are experiencing understaffing. However, on an early Tuesday evening we were seated immediately and served in a very timely manner. We're very satisfied and are already planning to return the next time we're over in this area.
