La Bendicion TexMex

First let me say the nachos were great and my friends enchiladas were also and some of the best salsa I have had. The only food I was disappointed in was the chips. Now about the service I think our waitress was new but she needs some serious training. Bought our drinks took our order then we had to ask another waiter for more chips another person brought our food promptly. Never came around to ask if we need anything. Had to ask for more water had to go find her in the back hall just standing there talking to another employee to ask for our ticket. Also had to ask another waiter no bring a sopapillas order. When she brought our ticket and left we had to wave the holder in the air to get to come get to run the credit card.. Food was great!

I was in the area looking for a place to eat. A quick search on Yelp led me to this restaurant, and I decided to give it a try. The menu had several tempting options, but I settled on the Baja Enchiladas and added a brisket taco based on a recommendation from one of the employees. Despite the restaurant being busy, the food arrived in a reasonable time. I was impressed by the portion size, and even more impressed with the flavor. The cilantro sauce I substituted on my enchiladas was a great choice and really enhanced the dish. Craving something sweet, I ordered the churros, which turned out to be some of the best I've ever had--soft in the center, perfectly fried on the outside, with ice cream that added a nice touch. We also ordered sopapillas for the table, and they were delicious as well.I really wish this restaurant was closer, I would definitely frequent it often.

This is my second time coming here the service is very quick and they are very polite. The food is so good and flavorful. The salsa is spicy but so good! The churros are so good the best I've had!

Stopped here because we were hungry for TexMex. It was a clean simple interior and service was quick. The menu had a great selection for lunch specials and that's what I chose. I did the lunch special Carne Asada and it was great. My meat was super tender and flavorful and it was a good size for a lunch special. The rice was the only bummer, it was pretty much lacking any taste. I also got a margarita that was just okay to me it was overly sweet and I don't like sweet drinks at all. My husband got the enchilada lunch special and also really enjoyed everything but the rice. Will definitely visit again

La Bendicion is still pretty new but they've already cozied right in to the neighborhood and built up a little local following. The space is one big, open square filled with tall booths that divvy up the room and offer decent privacy. I remember the lighting being pretty bright and seeming almost fluorescent, but all in all a comfortable space. There's a small bar and a couple big TVs playing sports on the back wall. The menu is pretty classic Tex-Mex, something you won't find me complaining about. On a week day lunchtime we were seated and brought a highchair for our toddler right away. Then the chips and salsa, and yes these pass the test. The chips are thin and crunchy and sturdy enough to hold up lots of salsa, which is red, cold, and a could-keep-eating-forever-medium-level-hot. Our entree orders were basic, okay, but delicious. Jon had steak soft tacos with a side of rice and beans. I ordered plain ol' meatless nachos (only $4.50!!) but they came with plenty of toppings: a dollop of sour cream, a scoop of guacamole, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeno slices, and shredded lettuce. The produce was all yummy and fresh across both plates. Jon's soft tacos were enormous and the Spanish rice and refried beans both had great texture. Truly everything was pretty darn good.. I want to try their enchiladas or tostados next. Stay tuned!

We heard about this restaurant from some friends. Walked in around 1pm on a Saturday. We were greeted promptly and sat in a booth, which I usually don't prefer because of sitting too low. These were comfortable for me at 5'5" as well as for my husband at 6'3".The server brought out chips and salsa-- we each got our own cup of salsa. Took our drink orders right away. I ordered a jalapeño margarita. She immediately brought me water and a diet coke for my husband.The menu had a lot of options. We started off with the Queso Trio, which had ground taco beef, guacamole, and sour cream to be mixed in with Queso Blanco. Very tasty! I asked for a side of soft corn tortillas and they were fresh and soft, but firm enough to hold up to the queso.One of my favorite things to check out at a new Mexican restaurant is the chile relleno, if it's on the menu. I ordered the ground beef chile relleno and it was worth it! Expertly seasoned ground beef, a slight crunch through the pablano pepper, and a very light egg batter on the outside. And the spicy green sauce lives up to its name and was full of flavor!My husband had the beef fajita chimichanga and said it was really good. Meat was well seasoned and tender. He could only eat half of it!The borracho beans were the perfect soft, silky, yet firm texture with an amazing likker. And the black beans were also expertly seasoned and prepared. The Mexican rice was fine, just normal fluffy, seasoned rice.And back to the Jalepeno Margarita. First, it was fresh. Muddled fresh jalepeno, squeezed lime, premium tequila, and maybe a place of sweet and sour. The owner made it and came by to check on how I liked it. Amazing! Served in a goblet and only $13. What?We had leftovers a diet were so full that we did t try dessert. Maybe next time I will opt for margarita and dessert! Definitely worth giving it a try. We will certainly go back and this may replace pur other favorite Arlington Mexican food place, which has a much higher menu and drink price for the same quality of food and margaritas!

100/10 loved the food if you couldn't tell!! The service was fast and amazing. And they start you off with chips and salsa ( personal salsa's). Definitely recommend beef enchiladas! We'll be back :)

Terrific food! The carne asada was grilled and seasoned to perfection! No frills restaurant with booths, tables, and a small outdoor area. Not much difference between the top shelf marg and the house. Service is just okay based on my experience on a Sunday.

I wish we had taken a picture when our dinner arrived. It was amazing! My husband and I shared the appetizer sampler, and it was perfect with enough to take home.Ariana was our server and she was on top of things without being on top of us! Honestly... I would say the perfect service. We will definitely be back!!

Some of the best Mexican food I've eaten.Husband had two cheese enchiladas with half portion of carne asada (best softest asada meat I've ever had) I got the Baja enchiladas with charro beans. Best house salsa I've ever had with a little kick but we like it extra spicy so I asked for house made spicy and the green was super flavorful. cilantro cream sauce and it was also delish. 10/10- we were sad the next day was thanks giving so they weren't open.
