It's not worth the hype. The fajitas are okay, but their enchiladas are terrible. The wait staff is also dumb and rude. Best thing about this place is the setting (great fountain). more

yuck!

Options are enchiladas or fajitas - was not told to chose chix, beef or cheese enchilada. Ended up with a pile of greasy cheese (couldn't find a trace of corn tortilla). Someone else was paying so I did not send it back. Sides were served family style and were very bland and tasted like they came out of a can.... more

While eating a mediocre meal at the famous Joe T's, we were visited by several RATS!!!! Thats right, RATS, crawling on the ledges of the walls around us and in the ivy. Unfortunately, we brought some out of town guest who were hoping for a wonderful Tex-Mex dinner experience. To make things worse, they thought they were being helpful to... more

I had a wonderful Sunday luncheon at Joe T. Garcia's, and we highly recommend visiting this establishment whilst visiting Fort Worth. This is a real family restaurant, a Fort Worth institution, and very affordable for the quality and quantity of food served. Margarita as aperitif is a must. (You don't go here to find a nice bottle of vino, as... more

The larger area inside area smells like an old house with house-a- tosis. Call ahead as the patio was closed when I went! Other people like myself were angry at being stuffed in the noisiest dinning room with babies screaming and a loud drone. You could not even hear the people at your table. I had checked on the Internet... more

I like Joe T Garcia but I would not say they are one the best Mexican food in Fort Worth. I like the enchiladas but hate the fajitas(too dry). Like others, I don't know why this place is a big tourist attraction since the menu is limited and the food is good not great. more

HORRIBLE food ... fajitas were disgusting. The chicken was dry. My kids wouldn't touch it and I forced myself to eat half of the plate. I've had better fajitas at Hacienda Ranch, Luna de Noche, On the Border, just about anywhere. For a place that's been in business so long, you'd think the food would be better. They must rely... more

Joe T Garcia's....wow what bad mexican food place! Walk in any direction from this restaurant and you can find a better mexican food restaurant with in less than a few blocks!! Most people who live here think there is some kinda of pay off going on. The only thing they have going for them is the patio....we say go drink... more

1. Joe T's only excepts cash or check. Hello...can we can get into the 21st century and learn how to accept credit cards like everyone else? 2. They will not allow seperate checks for a party. We had a group of people from work that met here for a shower and were told that we all had to be on... more
