Blue Goose Cantina — Fort Worth’s Award-Winning Tex-Mex Institution Since 1984
When it comes to Tex-Mex in Fort Worth, few names carry more weight than Blue Goose Cantina. Family-owned and operated since 1984, Blue Goose has been serving up some of the best Tex-Mex in the DFW Metroplex for over 40 years — making homemade tortillas fresh daily and using only the freshest ingredients at their Fort Worth location at 1612 S. University Drive, just minutes from TCU and the Cultural District. Winner of the Dallas Morning News Readers’ Choice Best Tex-Mex award and a multi-year winner of Best Margarita, this is the kind of neighborhood cantina that gets in your blood — loud, festive, and absolutely packed on a Friday night for very good reason. Patio seating is available for those beautiful Fort Worth evenings when dining outside feels like the only right choice.
The menu is a Tex-Mex lover’s greatest hits, executed with care and consistency that has kept generations of Fort Worth families coming back. The sizzling fajitas — available in beef, chicken, shrimp, or combination — arrive at the table with grilled onions, peppers, warm tortillas, and all the classic toppings, and are considered a signature must-order. The fan-favorite Dirty Bob — grilled fajita beef or chicken over seasoned rice with sautéed onions and peppers, smothered in melted cheese and topped with fresh pico de gallo — is the kind of dish that ruins other Tex-Mex for you in the best possible way. Fresh-made guacamole, award-winning margaritas in classic lime, strawberry, and mango, vegetarian and vegan options, and a kids’ menu round out an offering that genuinely has something for everyone at the table.
Blue Goose Cantina Fort Worth is open Monday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., with a weekday happy hour running from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. Takeout, curbside, and third-party delivery through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Postmates are all available, and catering services make Blue Goose a fantastic option for office events, family gatherings, and large celebrations.
