La Familia Mexican Restaurant

Was in ft worth to meet family and went in with a party of 11 (7 kids and 4 adults). Best service ever. Very attentive and great with the kids. Food was wonderful and strong margaritas. Really enjoyed and would totally go back.

This is not the same restaurant since the new owners took over. Gone are the friendly greeters that welcomed you when you came in and wait staff that made you feel like family. Menu changes have been made as well… borracho beans on a plate??? Food overcooked and flaming maragarita that quickly fizzled out. Not the same atmosphere or customer service experience that I’ve known La Familia to be. Should’ve known when there was no one else there on a late Friday afternoon but us.

Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had! For starters, the chips and spicy salsa (didn’t care for the mild one) and the bean soup was delicious! My mom and I both had the flautas for lunch and they were so fresh and incredibly well-​made. And usually the rice and beans that come with the meal at most Mexican food restaurants leave a lot to be desired. But I could not get enough of their rice and beans! These people put the effort into them! You can tell they are homemade back there. They’re so fresh! I wish I had a review of one of the margaritas but I’m pregnant. Ugh. Lol. I’ll definitely be bringing my husband back! We live just down the street. Woohoo!

Best margaritas in Fort Worth!!! The food is good too, but it won’t blow you away. La Familia is the place that you go when you want to drink an awesome margarita. When they bring the beverage out, they will light a sugar cube soaked with everclear. Yum!!!

The bean soup and chips & salsa here are excellent. Something about their salsa that gives it an extra kick!
My boyfriend had the steak fajitas which were good. Sizzling and hot! I had the shrimp quesadillas which were awesome.
I’m docking one star because even though our waiter was super nice we felt he wasn’t as attentive as he could’ve been. Twice we had to ask for drink refills, but maybe he was just having a off day… It just didn’t seem that busy when we went. This isn’t our last time here, we will definitely be back!

I was disappointed… The chips and salsa and the flaming margarita were the highlight. The food lacks flavor. My homemade Mexican food at home tastes better. We came here for my mom in law’s Birthday. The server was so friendly and took very good care of us. Sorry, but we won’t be back.

Went on a Saturday night and it was busy but a very short wait, less than ten minutes. Service was slow at the beginning but got allot better the second half of the meal. They have two kinds of salsa, one warm and one cold and both were equally good depending on what you like. The rocks margaritas are good and strong. Pretty sure they use everclear in them because after one you will be feeling it. I had fajitas and my wife had an enchilada dish. Both were middle of the road. Not outstanding but not bad either. The queso with con carne was good. It’s a really great environment. Overall a good place to go have a meal between the starters and drinks. The entrees are probably a 3 out of 5 but the whole experience was good. Priced fair as well for the part of town its in. Family of four and we spent $ 80 after the tip.

This rating is based off the margaritas alone. Saw pictures on here and thought they looked thick and amazing. They were. Lighting the sugar cube on fire was a nice presentation too. Had some queso with chorizo added while we had our drinks and it had excellent flavor as well. Might have to come back for the food next time.

First time here and it was after lunch on a weekday so not super busy. I will say the food wasn’t bad. We started with the sizzing skillet of pork legs (Patas) and they were very good. The sauce on the side stole their thunder. I think it was Ancho chili based but not sure what else was in it. I then went on to order the poblano chicken it was good but the sauce leftover from the Patas amped it up. The wait staff was good but once again it wasn’t busy. All in all we will be going back I give it a thumbs up.

I came here for a friend’s birthday dinner and it was great. Service was excellent and food was great.

This is a Must, new owners and new items on the menu.
You have to try the Redneck Fajitas, they are the best, the only thing bad is when you have to leave.

The enchiladas were amazing! Great salsa, which is very important to me when picking a Mexican restaurant! Service was outstanding, even with our server having two big parties at the same time. Can’t wait to go back… the new management has turned this place around!

My go to for Mexican food for a few reasons. I like the welcoming handshake when you walk in the door. I like the taste and presentation of the margarita with the flaming sugar cube. I like the bean soup you can get for free with every entrée. Despite being free, it’s the best I have had. And they make a damn good tamale/​enchilada combo plate that is pure comfort food. The lighting in here is just perfect for a romantic date night and the décor is very Fort Worth. Plus I took some family that was here from out of town and they still talk about our lunch there and the great service!

The customer service is outstanding here. My server was expedient. I like the ambiance.
The food, quite frankly, was average. Though, it was tasty. The salsa is very fresh and well seasoned. Not too much and not too little.
The chicken soup was absolutely delicious.
Impressed with the table spacing.
Ladies room is clean. Always an important detail.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and finally got the opportunity. The décor is really nice and love the location. The salsa is definitely made fresh and was great with the paprika kissed chips. We ordered fajitas and chicken enchiladas. I must say that the food was good but not great. With so many Mexican food choices to choose from I think that they need to step up their game a tad. However, this is just my opinion. We did not try the margaritas which I have heard are really good. Perhaps we just happened to hit them on an off night.

This place had top notch margaritas and service. I came here on a Saturday night with a group of 9. We were seated pretty fast and the wait staff was great. I had the chorizo chicken. I had never heard of this dish before but it looked great on the menu and I was no disappointed. The owner of the business was very attentive and would always come around to make sure we were not low on drinks or chips. The décor was very nice with old pictures of their familia that could easily be in a museum. The owner gladly sat down and explained several of the pictures he was in as a young man.
Nice place to go anytime and lots of choices.

La Familia is tucked away on Foch Street. La Familia is known for their flaming fajitas. They say their food is fresh and never held over to the previous day. No processed food, and can food, no lard, or no corn oil. They serve real cheese, real chicken, and high quality ingredients.
This is my second visit to La Familia. My first was about 6 years ago. I really like their salsa. It’s fresh with a perfect limey and onion taste. Not your typical red salsa. My husband got the enchiladas and he didn’t like them. He said they lacked flavor. I got the beef fajitas. Very little meat with a mountain of onions. Most places will give you very little onions with plenty of beef. La Familia is stingy with their beef and gives you more onions. I like more of a balance, but damn if you do damn if you don’t. I love onions, but geez. The fajitas were really lacking in flavor.
Would I be back? Doubt it. There are several restaurants in the area that I want to try and/​or are better so La Familia would be the last on my list.

I recently enjoyed a business lunch at La Familia. My colleague gave her highest recommendation so I was anxious to give it a try.
I have three litmus tests when visiting a Mexican restaurant for the first time: (1) their margaritas, (2) their mole sauce, and (3) their chili relleno. Since this was a lunch meeting, I passed on the margarita and opted for the chili relleno with beef and ranchero sauce. It was perfectly prepared and very flavorful. The atmosphere is cool; I’d like to visit one evening and sample a margarita. But the relleno was enough to earn them a 5-​star rating and a bookmark for a return visit by yours truly.

We were very disappointed in this restaurant. I had heard such great reviews and they did not live up.
The salsa was fresh and that’s about all. My husbands mushrooms on his chicken were from the jar. You know, the ones that are slimy and have that weird color. My enchiladas were lukewarm. For a place that advertises freshness it was not.

Woohoo! I love La Familia! Really warm and attentive service, a substantial menu, great chips and salsa, and killer frozen margaritas.
I popped in around 2 on a Friday afternoon because I was starving, in the area, and craving Mexican food. I’d passed by this lovely place several times but had never made my way in, and now I’m so happy I decided to. From the outside it looks like it might be little tiny, but the building is deep and this restaurant is plenty roomy. There wasn’t much of a crowd so I was led to a table right away.
I love the warm colors, dark wood, and walls covered from floor to ceiling in what looks like old family photos and antique-​y trinkets and memorabilia. Think sepia portraits, rifles, and mounted animals. It feels very old west and quite cozy.
I started with the complimentary chips and salsa, of course, which were perfectly delicious, salty, and just spicy enough. I also decided to treat myself to a frozen margarita, and as I’m sure you’ve read from all these other reviews, they bring it out garnished with a lemon wedge and sugar cube that’s set on fire! It smells amazing, looks beautiful, and slowly burns out. I really loved the presentation and creativity; it made my Friday afternoon feel more exciting and leisurely at the same time. The drink itself isn’t just for show — it was extremely good, refreshing, and quite strong! My waiter warned me that their on the rocks version is even more potent, so there’s always that to look forward to.
There aren’t a million options on this menu, which can be nice. I’d say it’s a bit more pricey than your chain Tex-​Mex restaurant, but nothing crazy. I decided to order an appetizer; the bean and cheese nachos with grilled onions added. WHOA. They were soooo good. Absolutely covered in so much real cheese, and the onions were the perfect addition. I don’t want to know how many calories this dish contained… It must have been absurd. But it was amazing and I can’t wait to order it again! The bean soup that came out as the side dish may have been even better. It was incredibly hot and full of fresh, spicy flavors; the kind of soup that tastes like it’s been simmering for hours and hours. Plus, it’s a perfect little portion!
