Best chicken fried steak and enchiladas that you can eat!!! Chips and salsa are so fresh and delicious. Sweet tea to wash it down.

Wonderful food. Service, atmosphere and food is always good. Family owned and run since 1968 and I have been coming here since 2005. The best homemade Tex-Mex in Fort Worth.

We went for lunch Friday to get some of that famous fried chicken. Unfortunately, we were informed, they had no chicken.

We fell back to tostadas and Mexican Dinner #1. OMG. So good. Full of flavor and expertly prepared.

Friendly wait staff. Clean, comfortable restaurant.

We parked on tge street, but I think there’s a lot behind the restaurant.

Jesus Family Restaurant – A True Hidden Gem! 🌮🔥

If you’re looking for authentic home-cooked flavors, Jesus Family Restaurant is the spot! The food is fresh, hot, and packed with flavor, just like Grandma Maria’s kitchen. The service is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Great vibes, great people, and even better food—this place is a must-try!

I can’t turn down cheese and onion enchiladas from a mom and pop Mexican restaurant. The #1 did not disappoint.

Hole in the wall family place that offers authentic tex-mex at great value. Incredibly huge portions. Amazingly friendly service - the people here make you feel like you're part of the family. Food will fill you up and more.

This place is frequented mostly by locals so you know it's good. :)
Also they have homemade pies for dessert that sell out quickly.

Worth braving a long walk through an empty and dodgy street to get here. The neighborhood is undergoing gentrification.
