We went yesterday for the first time. And I have to say, we absolutely loved it the waitress we had. I believe her name was Cindy was phenomenal. I have to say that because yeah, she was kind, efficient. Never let our drinks get empty or halfway. She was just super friendly. That's what made the whole experience good. And the food was really good, highly recommend.

The Original Mexican Eats Café never disappoints! The food is packed with flavor, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is full of Fort Worth charm. But let me tell you—the margarita steals the show! Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and just the right kick. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch or a fun night out, this spot is a local gem. Do yourself a favor and order the top shelf margarita—you’ll thank me later!

We had a wonderful experience here, and I can’t believe I had never been before! We walked right in to a table and got immediate attention from our server. We loved the hot tortilla chips, and the salsa was superb. Our margaritas were perfect and packed a punch. We were there for lunch, so we ordered off that menu, getting delicious cheese enchiladas and bean and cheese nachos. The refried beans and the nachos were just like those in my happy childhood memories from the Rio Grande Valley.

A special shoutout to our terrific server, who has been with Original for 40 years. Her service was impeccable, and it was a pleasure to see her obvious pride in the restaurant. Her experience and knowledge show in her interactions with both longtime customers and new ones.

I live 3 hours away, but I’ll be back again and often.

First time here. Chips were delicious. Brooklyn was great. Ordered enchiladas. Toppings were wrong. Ex sour cream chicken enchiladas had chili con carne and beef enchilada had sour cream. Messed up the meal for me. Both our plates were wrong. Charro beans were amazing though.

It really felt like the "Original Mexican Cafe". The decor and ambiance shouted authentic and homemade. We were greeted and given a table quickly. Our server arrived with a beautiful smile on her face to take our drink order. The menu is extensive. It was difficult to make a decision because everything looked amazing.
The chips and salsa were both perfect for me, light crispy chips and a flavorful but not spicy salsa.
Our lunch entrees were terrific. I'd read about their "puffy" tacos, and they were delicious. The tomatillo salsa was so bright and flavorful I could have eaten it with a spoon, but it was even better on the taco. The puffy nachos with Ada's sauce were also delicious. Ada's sauce is queso with ground beef, and it pared perfectly with the crisp fried flour chips.
We'll be back soon. There's a lot to enjoy on their menu.
