Mercado Juarez has been a place we love to go and eat, the food is served fast, hot and is good. The last visit however has changed our experience dramatically. Our server was a young hispanic girl, in her 20s. She had tattoos on both arms, her left upper arm had circle swirls on it. We were there for lunch, leaving around 1:30pm. Our food was good, arrived quickly, we ate and were on our way. When we reached the parking lot, my husband realized he left his wallet on the table. He ran inside to get it and it was no where to be found. We were sitting in the back side of the restaurant, so it was an area already less crowded, and our server was the only server in that area. We looked around, spoke with the manager who took our information, and could not locate it. My husband had an AirTag in his wallet, and we began to check the location of the wallet, where it continued to update stating it was within the restaurant and showed different places within the restaurant. Around 4:30 when it continued to update that it was inside, we went back to the restaurant and spoke with managers again. The managers were extremely kind and helpful. There is only so much they can do to help us, and they went above and beyond trying to help. It was at this visit that our server comes up to question us about how we were keeping track of the wallet. She began to look over my shoulder at my phone to see what we were looking at ... and when we told her it had an AirTag, she said, "oh.... well I saw a strange man looking out the window when yall left." which was nothing that was said before, and it was such a random thing to say at the time, that it began to raise our suspicion. When we left the restaurant a second time with no wallet, it was about 4:30 and was the exact time that the Airtag stops updating... which also coincides with the exact time frame our server was able to discover how it was being tracked. They do not have cameras inside the restaurant, so unfortunately without physical proof, nothing can be done. My husband had just cashed a check, and had a lot of money in his wallet because we were going to buy a kitchen appliance after leaving there. I have no doubt the server took the wallet, and the money and got a much bigger tip than we planned for her to have. If I had any doubts, I would not post a review about it. But I do not want anyone else to have to go through what we went through. So if your server fits her description, request someone else. She will rob you, lie to you, and all the while play dumb that she never saw a thing.

The exterior and interior teleport you to Mexico with its architecture and decor. There’s lots of space and seating. Our waitress was polite and attentive. We ordered one beef fajita platter, the chicken Tampico platter, sopapilla, and a house margarita. The beef on the fajita was so good. I highly recommend that—the beef slices are thick, juicy, and very tender. It’s probably the best beef fajita I’ve ever had. The chicken Tampico platter was good too, a good option for someone trying to eat a little more on the healthier side. The sopapilla came with 4 medium sized pieces, all covered with cinnamon and sugar. They gave us honey packets since we took the dessert to go. And the margarita had good flavor to it. They also give you complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa had a little kick to it.

Tex-Mex at its finest. This is a very old staple in Ft.Worth. The salsa is served very warm. The food is delicious. Service is great. I love this place.

This was our first visit, was not that impressed. The carnitas were very good on the fresh tortillas that could be grilled a bit longer with guacamole and pico. The rice was, well not very tasty. The churro beans needed allot more seasoning kinda bla. The shredded chicken enchiladas were dry and under seasoned with an odd tasting gravy/cheese topping. The outstanding waitress saw an uneaten plate of food and asked why, we explined and she removed it from the bill very bland tastings. Chips and salsa was good but again lacked flavor. Cost was reasonable, we had a very big group and added gratuity on the bill, but we took care of our waitress. Relook seasoning on all foods something changed since friends were here last they said.

Greated us the second we walked in the door. Service was great. Margarita only $3. But the meat from the fajitas smelled and tasted funny. We didnt complain because we arent complainers but meat definitely smelt and tasted funny.
