Don Melquias Restaurante Mexicano

Great service, attentive, very friendly. The salsa is good, spicy and full of flavor. The chips could have been fresher but good nonetheless. The staked enchiladas where really good. The Verde sauce was hot! A good belly warming hot, like a shot of good whiskey. The atmosphere was nice. Izzy was awesome.

We came in at 8:15(they close at 9pm)....very quickly we were escorted to a large spacious booth w plenty of room to move around. Our wait staff(Michelle) gave us outstanding service with a cheerful attitude! But the food- FIT FOR A KING! FAJITAS FOR 2 Was so much food I had to ask for a to-go box. She kept bringing us chips n salsa the whole time! Don't be the only one in Benbrook to miss this authentic experience in fine Mexican cuisine! Five stars fo sho!!

Good old fashioned tex mex! Charro beans are a highlight. Atmosphere was clean and they’ve gotten rid of the drain smell that haunted Pulido’s. Service was top notch! Very friendly and personable.

The owner or manager was extremely helpful and friendly. We only catered rice and beans for a family style potluck. They were good! I've only heard good things about their food. Well the inside does need some improvements most definitely a good place to eat .

Decent service. Food was good and service was even better. The building is old and has a smell when you walk in.. it isnt a bad smell but a noticabld one. The salsa was good but had a taste that matched the smell of the building. This was my only complaint. Other than that the nachos were good and the chicken enchiladas rice and beans were tasty. Id comeback but with hopes they keep the salsa fresh. Great job with welcoming and service.

My wife and I were in the Fort Worth area for a doctor appointment recently. When we finished, we decided to find some place to eat on our way back to our hotel in Benbrook, Texas. Since we were in downtown Fort Worth, we didn’t want to fight the lines so my wife began to look at Tex Mex restaurants in the Benbrook area. The search brought up several, but we decided on a new place called Don Malquias. As we walked in we were greeted by a very happy man that told us to sit where we wanted. We chose a booth in a corner. The lunch rush was over so there were only six to eight tables being served. So it was quiet and peaceful. Our drinks, chips and salsa came to the table and we dove in. That’s about the time that Izzy, our server showed up. He was very happy, social and boisterous. He made suggestions as we spoke about everything. My wife ended up ordering the Chicken Fajitas and ordered the Street Tacos. Turns out, those are Izzy’s favorite menu item. If you get the Street Tacos, sk for the Salsa Verde. Unless you cant handle the heat…it has a good kick! My wife loved it! The food arrived piping hot. As we ate, Izzy checked in on us periodically, but wasn’t an intruder. There were six, yes six street tacos on my plate. There was also rice, beans, guacamole and pico de gallo. My wife’s fajitas had the same rice and beans. They were some of the very best I’ve had. The beans were creamy, with whole beans throughout and the rice was amazing. The plump, fluffy and moist kind, you know the kind where each grain was separate. We’ve gone back a second time since then and plan on going back as often as possible, when we’re in the area. So, when you’re in the Fort Worth area Give Don Malquias a try, you wont be disappointed. Make sure to ask to sit in Izzy’s section. Ask him to tell you the “bad water” story. He’ll laugh out loud and know exactly who sent you! Happy eating!

It was my first time at this location that once was a Pulido restaurant. The food at Don Melqulia's was very delicious. Our server Jose Avalos and Pamela were also very helpful and will be back very soon. The beef soup I took home was like my mom's cooking a 10!!
