Mi Cocina, located in Sundance Square, is a delicious upscale Mexican restaurant. My family and I stopped in for dinner on our recent vacation to Fort Worth. Needless to say, we were very impressed! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Prices were reasonable. The service was terrific and best of all, the food was phenomenal. I loved their chips, salsa, cheese dip, and enchiladas! It was one of the best Mexican food meals weâve ever ate and we eat Mexican food several times permonth. If you are in downtown Fort Worth, I highly recommend Mi Cocina.

We took our of town guests here on a Saturday after visiting The Stockyards hoping to let them sample true Texas style BBQ. It was just average. Nice setting, clean, good sides and friendly service but there many places in Fort Worth that do a better job creating BBQ with a real flavor.

Always enjoy coming to Booger Red's for a drink. I arrived at shift change and there was a lot of confusion until we got served. Had a nice relaxing beverage with clients. You know you are in Texas when you go to Booger Red's. If nothing else I love the name!

Crispy Fish Taco (grouper), Seared Fish Taco (also grouper), and Cancun Taco (gulf shrimp) were all excellent. I would have got the other two shrimp tacos, but I was full. The service was on point from the go, and my server Staphany was excellent. I would eat here again - in fact I may eat here again tomorrow night!

We found parking right outside the hotel and was quickly seated upon entering.We enjoyed the eclectic decor with lots of memorable pieces from Buffalo Butt Beer to the saddle bar seats. Our server was friendly and very helpful in recommendations. She kept tabs on us with refills and updates on our main courses.I went for the 12 ounce rib eye steak that was perfectly cooked to a warm red medium. The steak was seasoned well and accompanied by tasty sides, sautéed mushrooms and onions along with creamed spinach. It was nice being able to have options beyond the standard salad and potatoes listed on the menu. It was the perfect amount of food.

Dined here with friends but the food was above average in taste but very overpriced compared to other USDA Prime Beef Restaurants.Waygu Tomahawk Prime Ribeye No better then a Regular Tomahawk Prime Ribeye = Overpriced! Taste just like any other Tomahawk Ribeye and not any anymore tender then then the N.Y. Strip Steak Yes more fat on Ribeye but thatâs about all.Any steak will become tender when itâs aged! Chicken fried steak isnât Prime USDA Round Steak but why charge $28 = Overpriced It tasted like any other Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes green beans and gravy.Above average taste but overpriced.NY Strip Steak Prime Ordered M-Rare Over cooked re-cooked to Rare Plus Tasted good but one section was cold.Not for me.Grilled asparagus was ok but small portion Yukon Gold Potatoes Tasted good but should have a original name behind them being here in Fort Worth Stock Yards District.Crispy Skin Chicken Thigh Didnât order cause No Chicken Thigh Should Be Priced Like This $34 That speaks volumes about The Lonesome Dove Western Bistro = Overpriced all around.Yes this place has a wide selection of different meat entrees you can order from menu but the prices are overboard.Be prepared to spend $$$$ Crazy.Do you research before you go! Unless you just want to fit in with the crowd or look good hanging at this establishment.It really amazes me how chefs/owners can get a big head from food they serve and itâs always about the Dollar $$$$ To them.Deserts must be made off site as they were sub par.I could get better tasting deserts from the local bakery! for way less! Final thought Friendly waitstaff nice decor inside restaurant seated promptly and very attentive to all needs but they over spent on decor cause it shows on food prices on menu to portion sizes.Taste was better then some above average cause in the end itâs all about Quality ingredients to Quality service and Priced right all around for a higher end restaurant! Probably wonât return been there and experienced all I need to experience at The Lonesome Dove Western Bistro.

This place goes in my top tier ever. It's the people that made the difference for me. Ever single person interacted with me in a genuine feel-good experience. They smiled and made me feel welcome. Not once did someone get within a five foot bubble around me without saying something polite and genuine. I want to be around people like this all the time.They had me the moment the lady smiled and said I could sit wherever I like. However, The Hatch enchiladas was off the charts good. I think what I like the most is that nothing over powered. It all blended nicely with each flavor adding it's own piece to the taste symphony. Two different servers told me they were moving in sixty days. I can't remember where, so the decor here won't matter in a few months. It's kind of basic, but I like that. It keep the cost of the fabulous meal at a reasonable price.Thank you to every single person that works here. You are an orchestration of kind people serving very good food.Woo Hoo! Thank you so much for your awesome review! We do have a great team of family and friends!God bless,Mary

A restaurant with such a reputation and at this price point should train their servers. Ours Saturday night was not just untrained, but offensive. He interrupted. Tried to take our plates away three times before we had eaten. After the second, my friend said, "We just want to finish our dinner!" Oblivious, he came again. I was looking at the extensive wine menu. He asked if I needed advice. I told him I was considering a Barolo, a St Emilion and a California Pinot Noir. He proceeded to explain that the Barolo is Italian, and has Italian herbs. The St. Emiion is French... James should not be offering wine advice. He reached in front of our guest's face to fill her neighbor's glass. This is not James's fault. It is the manager who put him on the floor without training. We provided this info in a comment card. No response.
