I visited Grapevine to check out the local boutiques and the farmers market on a Saturday. While at the farmers market, I asked around to the locals where I should go to lunch, and 2 different people suggested Esparza's. It was right around the corner from the farmers' market. Esparza's had plenty of parking and was seated right away. The service was good and took our order promptly. I ordered the mixed frozen sangria and frozen margarita. It was so delicious. It had great lime flavor and was refreshing on a hot day. I also ordered the quesadillas off the appetizer section. The quesadillas were stuffed with meat and veggies. They were filling and a good choice for an entrée or to split with someone.The inside of the restaurant was cozy and had a great Tex-Mex vibe.

This place was highly recommended by people that we talked to while visiting Grapevine. They were right. Food was amazing and portions were big. Although it was a busy night when we visited, they were able to sit us immediately Complimentary chips and salsa was already on the table. We started with the tortilla soup with avocado. It is very flavorful. The brisket quesadilla was delicious as well. Definitely a good place to eat when craving for Mexican food.

Fun local restaurant steps away from historic Main Street in downtown Grapevine. It was packed when we went but service was friendly and fast. We had the lunch fajitas - the chicken was tasty but a bit dry. Our margaritas were on point! All told we spent $76 (Inc tip) for two lunches and two large margaritas. Not bad for a relaxing afternoon. (Side note: the salsa is served warm...nice touch)

We were brought here by a coworker friend. The food was excellent!We started with the queso flameado. It was the best we've ever had!! The cheese wasn't as greasy as flameado usually is and it was packed with perfectly cooked onions and beef. So so good!!I had the combo of brisket stuffed fried avocado with chicken tortilla soup. Wow, the brisket is tender with a great spice. The avocado was perfectly fried. My husband loved his brisket quesadillas. We've had some in San Antonio but he said these beat those by a long shot.The staff was so friendly and helpful. Several different people checked to make sure everything was great. The patio has misters so it is a good place to relax even on hot days.

We had dinner on Saturday evening and surprisingly we're sat immediately inside. Our server was wonderful and answered all of our questions. It was extremely loud inside, so I would not recommend sitting inside if you are hard of hearing. We were practically yelling to hear each other. I had the stuff, avocado and tortilla soup. I've had this before, so super excited but I was very disappointed when it came out. The soup was lukewarm, and the cheese and the avocado wasn't even slightly melted. I also had a Esparza margarita. It was ok, extremely strong. There are so many Mexican restaurants in Fort Worth and Grapevine that next time we may stop here for a drink, but we will definitely go somewhere else to eat.

My parents love this place especially because they have beans made with vegetable oil They had make your own tacos which I thought my 7 year old would love. He enjoyed making his own tacos for sure. I got one of the mix meals - one chicken enchilada and one taco with rice and beans. It was the perfect amount of food and absolutely delicious.Service was fantastic too. I came in on a Tuesday for dinner but it was pretty busy for a Tuesday and yet the waiter took care of us. The manager or maybe owner also walks around to make sure everyone is okay. Oh and of course they start off with chips and salsa and it's piping hot and fresh! The best.

I haven't been here in more than 10 years. Wow it's been a long g time, but it's still great !Erick, the waiter was excellent . He was attentive but not in our face . He was prompt with the drinks , and orders and brought things without us asking . We shared an order of fajitas which were yummy, but a too heavy on the onions . The regular Salsa was ok but weak , however their spicy salsa is a green salsa had a nice thick texture and it was great . Spicy enough to have the kick . Mix a little with the regular salsa and it's a party. Margaritas as always excellent , even the house margarita, but the perfect was a cut above . I also noticed some cool artwork here . Cheers enjoy this great icon establishment of your near grapevine .

Oh how the ripples of one mistake completely changes your perspective...Tuesday night, we drove over to Blue Goose for dinner. We arrived, and there was signage up saying they were closed due to remodeling (though I don't recall any prior notice on social media or their site which is odd).I was told "Hey why not try out Esparza's, my friend has been going there most of her life". At this point, I just want Mexican food NOW.We pulled up, and I had a transformational change in expectations. Mind you, I'm half-Hispanic, lived in DFW for the vast majority of my life I've had probably every Mexican franchise or independent (Like the most praised, and underwhelming Joe T. Garcias).Esparza's is a rare gem. The queso is fantastic. If you get the fajitas, they taste like they were cooked on a wood fire grill. Even items like Puffy Tacos transported me back to a simpler time when I would have Puffy Tacos at the now closed Caro's off of Blue Bonnet in Fort Worth.None of the pompousness of Joe T's. No 2 item menu. The staff is incredibly warm and friendly.I write this as someone who's had all kinds of Mexican food. Whether it be in Mexico, or LA, NYC, Nashville, and DFW. For me, this my new consistently going to Mexican spot. If you want proof? I found this place on Tuesday, and I am sitting here picking up a Togo order on Sunday. We've done 4 visits in total in less than a week.One more thing worth mentioning? I hate refried beans. Absolutely hate them. I think I'd rather be waterboarded than have refried beans.The double refried beans from Esparza's is a revelation. I LOVE them. You can ask my spouse how many times I've eaten wings in our relationship, and if I eat them the way I do here. It's that legit. I just don't eat refried beans. These double fried refried beans make me feel like I can walk on water, raise the dead to life, and feed 5k people with a simple fish and a loaf of bread.

I used to come to Esparza's with my parents/siblings back in high school (I'm a Southlake Carroll alum) and I always remembered it fondly. We live on the other side of the metro now, and haven't been back in awhile, but were in town to experience the North Pole Express. We were hesitant, because the reviews seem very mixed of late. I'm here to say - this place still knocks it out of the park. It was a really mild evening, so we sat on the outdoor patio, which has great ambiance. The mango frozen margarita was the best I've ever had - it tasted just like fresh pureed mango. We had to order two orders of the tableside guac because our 1yo and 6yo ate an entire order themselves. It was sooooo good! I had the Viva Trevino, and couldn't finish it, but all three options on the plate were well executed. We will be back again soon!
