Locals love this place; tourists are lucky to discover it. Originally a tiny, 16-seat restaurant founded nearly 70 years ago in a green and white clapboard house, Joe T.'s now seats more than 1,000 -- some in the original structure and many more on covered patios, or in the fiesta gardens, which make up a full city block of lush flora and fountains. The patios and gardens are hidden from street view by massive stone walls, and strolling mariachis lend an authentic atmosphere to a location that's within walking distance of the Stockyards. Guests come from miles around to savor the famous fajitas and enchiladas (the only dinner offerings) served with warm, handmade tortillas, so be prepared for a line that can wrap around the block on weekend nights. For those who hate to wait, Joe T's less crowded breakfast and lunch also features a broader range of Tex-Mex creations. -- Allison Hatfield

    I am native Texan. I have eaten every type of Mexican food Texas has to offer. This is the most over rated restrnt I have ever been to. I ordered the combo fajitas and couldn't tell the beef from the chicken. The tortillas were ok but not exeptional. Yuk!!! The whole family said we will NEVER eat at Joe T Garcia's again. The chips and margarihita's were OK but many places are good. This is a tourist trap! Nothing exceptional at this place, for sure. I am sad that some people visiting Texas will have this experience as their only Mexican food reference.

    My husband and I went to Joe T's and we both agree it was the BEST Mexican food. We where on vacation in Arlington to visit my husbands family for two weeks so Steve my brother in law took us and the outside patio is just beautiful. I recommend this place highly. We are both from Pa and the Mexican food here SUCKS. When we go back to Texas we will go back to Joe Ts

    I think El Fenix is the best I have had in the DFW area and it is a chain! But none approach Kiko's in Corpus Christi.
