We went here last Friday at 9. We were told there was a 15 minute wait for the patio, which turned into nearly an hour wait.... Once seated, the waiter took our drink order and brought us chips and salsa. One of our margaritas came out immediately, but the other didn't arrive until about 30 minutes later if the waiter...

Read the reviews for this place, and decided to go based on all the positive comments. It wasn't bad, but we were not overly impressed. Our waiter barely spoke English, so it was difficult to communicate our order. The food was mediocre at best, and portions were small. It certainly was popular though! Big crowd for a Thursday evening.

This was a nice change-of-pace from the formal dinners I attended during a week-long conference at the nearby Gaylord Texan resort. The food was exactly what I was looking for, nothing fancy. The margaritas were the perfect blend of tangy and refreshing, while the food was deliciously spicy. The guacamole was also a standout for me.

My friends talk about this restaurant, so I decided to try it. I ordered a skinny margarita which I had to send back. It tasted like it was made with bourbon. The second one was not much better. The food was average, nothing that would bring me back, and the service was slow and not attentive. I did like the... More

The food here no matter what you get is very consistent. It is not designed as a gourmet cafe rather it is a good value for the family and just to get a good bite to eat. A great place during the summer as well since there are water spritzers on the patio while you wait for a table. You... More

Visiting TX, I visited Esparza after reading Trip Advisor reviews and talking w/ the hotel staff. The food was good and reasonably priced, and we really enjoyed dining on the patio. The service unfortunately was pretty slow; we had to ask for chips, silverware and the bill - hopefully it was just an off/busy night.

Having lived in Grapevine 20 years ago, I find myself drawn to this place every time I stop in DFW for business. For over twenty years, the food has remained the draw (or the margaritas--not sure which) as I eat there every trip. Being close to the airport (despite the ongoing construction on the North end) and located downtown Grapevine... More

It isn't as good as it once was.... but still good service and decent food. I think the family sold it some years back and the portions reflected the change.

I have been to Esparza's several times and have enjoyed the meal each time. The service is pretty good and the food is pretty good and the prices are pretty good. Are you seeing a trend? Yes, Esparza's is pretty good. It could be a great place with a few tweaks. The menu needs some healthier choices, the service could... More

I usually don't like Mexican food but this restaurant has changed my mind. A huge menu and the best margarita's the server explained the different choices. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I will definitely return.I lied the decor it was very relaxing.It was to cold to sit outside but they did have outside seating.
