T&#8217;s. There are HUNDREDS of Mexican food restaurants in North Texas and we have lot&#8217;s of favorites, but if we had to choose &#8220;our last meal&#8221; it would be at Joe T Garcia&#8217;s Mexican Dishes.<\/p><p>Let me just get this out of the way&#8230; When you are wildly successful and highly acclaimed in any business you garner lots of detractors. In Texas any discussion of Mexican food, Barbecue, or sports can end up in a fight because everyone has a favorite and if you disagree you could be asked to step outside. If I&#8217;m going to eat outside in Fort Worth there are few places that I would prefer to do it and Joe T&#8217;s is at the top of my list. With a full staff of gardeners who arrive each morning at 5:00 am, the patio is always impeccable and the people watching there is some of the best to be had in Fort Worth Texas. The food is not typical &#8220;Tex-Mex&#8221; that you find in many other Fort Worth restaurants, but the recipes are distinctive and flavorful and the restaurant elevated Mexican Cuisine to a new height when they received the James Beard Foundation Award for Excellence. I&#8217;ve heard haters call the restaurant a &#8220;tourist trap&#8221; but it is unequivocally the furthest thing from it. It&#8217;s certainly a popular tourist spot based solely upon it&#8217;s reputation among the locals. We never dine there that we don&#8217;t see 10 people we know, and if there is a celebrity in town you will likely see them there.<\/p><p>All of the food is delicious, but the Family Style Dinner is the thing I crave. The meal includes 2 cheese nachos, 2 cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, 2 beef tacos (the best in Fort Worth IMO) and guacamole. I either get this or opt for the &#8220;small version&#8221; which is still a huge plate of food. Donna eats like a bird so she usually just orders the cheese nachos. If I&#8217;m feeling up to heavy drinking their Margaritas are just outstanding but you have to set an absolute maximum of 2, you will thank me for this advice. If I want to get anything else done that day I order an ice cold Tecate with lime.<\/p><p>My personal preference for Fort Worth&#8217;s &#8220;best&#8221; fajitas and guacamole takes me to some other local restaurants, but as I said before everything at Joe T&#8217;s is outstanding.<\/p><p>Joe T&#8217;s opened for business in 1935 but I, having not been born until 1961 did not first darken the door until 1967.. so it&#8217;s hard for me to imagine that I have been eating here for over 50 years. Damn I am old. When I was at TCU we would visit Joe T&#8217;s before any of the beautiful gardens and patios were built. Fort worth residents take great pride in recalling their visits to Joe T&#8217;s back then, when you entered the small dining room through the kitchen. Back then, if I recall correctly, they only served one dish &#8211; the Family Style Dinner. I don&#8217;t remember there being a cash register, just a family member standing at the door asking you how many beers you had and telling you the total. Joe T&#8217;s has always been &#8220;cash only&#8221; and back then the money went straight into her apron pocket.<\/p><p>Here&#8217;s what impresses me the most about Joe T Garcia&#8217;s &#8211; the family. Beloved and successful as they are in Fort Worth they have managed to continue their legacy as Fort Worth&#8217;s #1 restaurateurs for over 80 years, changing with the times, adding real estate, gardens, menu items and more. Throughout the years though I cannot recall visiting the restaurant one single time that I did not see one or more of the Lancarte family actively tending to the business. I am sure that keeping a family so focused throughout multiple generations on keeping the family food dynasty polished and fresh year after year is a task that no one should underestimate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18c55ef7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18c55ef7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3db9213d elementor-sm-33\" data-id=\"3db9213d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-361566b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"361566b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timdyoung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0452.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fcfcbae elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5fcfcbae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timdyoung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0454.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-220d9f3e elementor-sm-33\" data-id=\"220d9f3e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f2b45d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"44f2b45d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timdyoung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0611.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5978ee2d elementor-sm-33\" data-id=\"5978ee2d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-239b1ab9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"239b1ab9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timdyoung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0464.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a9752b4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a9752b4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7d065e0\" data-id=\"7d065e0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0a85bf elementor-button-danger elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"e0a85bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/joetgarcias.com\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">See Joe T Garcia's story and read their menu by clicking here<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don&#8217;t have to have just one &#8220;favorite&#8221;
