What Jordan Bell doesn't like about El Gabacho Tex Mex Grill:
The most mexican thing about this place is the music. The food was just okay but not good at all. Service was good. I might be back to try something else.Food: 3/5 View all feedback. What Kari F likes about El Gabacho Tex Mex Grill:
The service was spectacular, and I took my server's recommendations for the Red River margaritas and the chile relleno, everything was delicious.I was a little turned off by the bucket seated opposite of me. The restaurant wasn't busy, but the bucket in the corner didn't dampen the friendly staff and good food. View all feedback.

Love the skillet flameado! The staff is always so friendly. My fave tex-mex in Arlington!

Great food, very friendly and quick service. My favorites are the Flameado with chicken and the sour cream chicken enchiladas. Chef's kiss!

It's a cute place. They have a patio. The food is okay. The Beef and Shrimp Queso Flameado is the best. They are thieves when it comes to money. We bought a gal...

I met my friend at the restaurant tonight. While we were having dinner, a large group was seated next to us, and they asked if their gathering was bothering us.
