Mariano's Hacienda Ranch - Arlington

Mesquite Kissed Deliciousness

What makes it fun

Now for a little history, Mariano Martinez invented the frozen margarita machine. So, you are going to want to order at least a few margaritas at Mariano's for the sake of history, of course. The kitchen uses custom log fired grills and sweet mesquite logs to char dishes like fajitas and carnitas, giving each bite a blissful smoky kiss. Start with tableside guacamole, queso Mariano, or Texas Torpedoes. For your main, perhaps the mesquite grilled fajitas or Brisket Tacos. Mariano's is a date spot where laughter, good food, and great drinks make it easy to fall a little more in love.

First of all, I must highlight the best and friendliest service from Ofelia, the attention from Mr. Campos, but also the fantastic, delicious food. I highly recommend it.

This place is a 5 star all across. Came here for the first time, ha been wanting to come but the location is not the most convenient. Regardless, no regrets. I came on a Friday night, and felt welcomed. They were busy and vibing 👌 Had to sit at their patio because the weather here in Texas is finally cooling off. Their chips and salsa were delicious 😋… they do offer an option for a spicier salsa that’s $3.00 was not happy about that but couldn’t leave without trying it. It was okay., I did love the chunky es of it and the smoky flavor but it definitely needed some me garlic and salt in my opinion. I ended up taking it home and adding those two ingredients and perfection 😋 I had one of the mixed plates with an Enchilada, a crispy taco 🌮, rice and beans 🫘 🍚 and their frozen swirl. I really enjoyed my time there, my server was amazing and answered all my questions. They do have 4-6 Happy Hour and special price drinks on Wednesday and Thursday for their swirl Parking was crowded but accessible and it is family friendly despite of the shady area it’s located at since there is a strip club across from it. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back myself.

First time visit heading to a Dallas Cowboys game. Parking was easy, located this place based on Google reviews. The place seems somewhat busy at 2:00 p.m. on a Saturday, but service was quick and friendly. Drink order and chips and salsa or served promptly. Had the brisket tacos with dipping juice and the loaded queso and everything was delicious. Mariano's is famous for inviting the frozen margarita machine and the margarita was on point. Atmosphere and decor was kind of old style restaurant which I actually enjoyed a lot. Will definitely be back here when in Arlington Texas again.

From the outside, the restaurant looks homey and upscale, and the inside continues with that assumption. A gorgeous, authentic looking interior. Staff are friendly and attentive, and were more than happy to provide me with a takeaway container and plastic cutlery for me to take food back to my hotel. The food itself is authentic and good, not, “knock your socks off”, but certainly acceptable for this restaurant. I will certainly come back and tell friends and family about this place.
