Joe T. Garcia's Mexican Dishes

A Fort Worth institution since 1935 — a sprawling Mexican restaurant in a converted house north of downtown, with a famously beautiful patio garden that seats hundreds under live oaks and string lights. The menu is short and unchanged: enchiladas, fajitas, frozen margaritas. Cash only at the bar; the dining rooms take cards. No reservations and lines are long on weekend nights, but the patio is worth waiting for.
