• Mexican • Arlington
In 1983, after the success of La Calle Doce, Oscar and Laura Sanchez wanted to open another restaurant but they didn’t want to duplicate their previous success nor did they want to open just another Tex-Mex restaurant. Oscar wanted something that wasn’t found in Dallas, something that reminded him of home. Since both Oscar and Laura are from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon in Northern Mexico, they decided to open a restaurant that specialized in Comida Norteño (northern food) and Tex-Mex featuring dishes such as cabrito, mollejas, and asado de puerco. Today El Ranchito is known for it’s authentic Mexican food, freshly made tortillas and festive atmosphere where mariachis play daily. These elements – the food, the music and the friendly staff – have helped El Ranchito achieve it’s ultimate goal of creating an atmosphere where the customer feels as if they are back home in Monterrey.

• Italian • Fort Worth
Booked 9 times today
In the 1950's our grandfather, Giacomo, came to live the American Dream. He moved from Saviano, Italy to live in Long Island, New York. He met his wife and started a family, opening their first location in Long Island, New York, named Village Pizza. As business flourished, we moved to a larger location and changed the name to Alfieri Brothers’ Pizzeria. Again, we outgrew the size of the restaurant and relocated to a larger side of the center where we have remained since 1991. ​ The following year, Saverio Alfieri decided to head south and expand the family business by opening a location in North Texas. Since then, Saverio and his two sons, Anthony and Giacomo, have managed to create one of Dallas/Ft. Worth’s best kept secrets. The Alfieri family has and will continue to serve authentic Italian recipes perfected by Grandma Alfieri herself.

The Finch in Grand Prairie is often described as having a beautiful ambiance. Customers often mention the restaurant's lake and fountain views, and the 'upscale' yet 'not pretentious' atmosphere. The light show at night is also a hit with many patrons. Overall, the coziness of the place is enhanced by its great food, excellent service, and welcoming environment.

    We were promptly seated. Our food was hot and delicious. We did not feel rushed. That was very important to us as I had not seen my cousin in many years. Carissa provided exceptional service.

    This was my first time dining at The Vault and I loved it! The ambience was beautiful and elegant yet relaxed. The menu was extensive with so many delicious options and service was spectacular. After dinner I enjoyed a few more drinks in the Cigar lounge and the service was just a good. I will definitely be coming back !

    We have a favorite mexican restaurant we visit frequently and were wanting to try something different. We had visited El Ranchito many years ago in Dallas and had not tried the Arlington location. I'm so glad we stopped in! The service was great. The food was good and the mariachi bank was AMAZING! But wait, the margaritas!!! I'm usually tired of the taste after 1/2 of one.-not these!!! So delicious!!! I think we have found a new favorite restaurant!!!
