Fans love them for their always fresh chips and salsa, fajitas quickly delivered, and on-point versions of staples including queso, guacamole, and sour chicken enchiladas. This is the first location in Fort Worth, but the eighth in DFW, following Addison, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Grapevine, and Highland Village.
