Joe T's is a tradition in the Dallas area, but it's in Fort Worth, which usually means a 45 minute drive. Located just north of the downtown Ft. Worth area in the famous "Stockyards" historic district, this labrynthine restaurant is a MUST VISIT for families, and anyone who enjoys Mexican food.
The first thing you have to know about Joe T's is that there are only two things on the menu...fajitas or enchiladas.
While that upsets many of my open-minded friends, the benefit is that this restaurant has quite simply PERFECTED these two dishes.
Fajitas are served plentifully (either chicken or beef, or both) along with guacamole, beans, and rice.
The enchilada dinner is served family style (meaning everything is brought on huge trays and you scoop out what you want) starting with cheese nachos (real ones with REAL melted cheese atop a just-fried tortilla), beef tacos, beans, rice, guacamole, and fresh tortillas.
There is a full bar, but they don't excel on margaritas, unfortunately, so save it and order iced tea. That is, unless you're more concerned with stregnth than taste. One margarita has enough low-grade tequila to pickle a horse!
The dining experience is varied here, you can pick what you like. The restaurant is in an old converted spanish-style mansion, so you can dine romantically by the blue-lit swimming pool, or loud and friendly in the main dining room amidst pictures of all the famous people who have dined here throughout the years.
There is usually a long wait for the main dining room on weekends, but the patio/pool area can normally accomodate you quickly.
THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD in the DFW area, hands down. Don't miss it!
