Cartel Taco - Arlington

Visited Cartel to try it out and to rices I felt were fair and nice selection of options. Tried the salmon , beef fajita , chicken fajita tacos. They were all flavorful. The corn tortillas were ok so if your a fan of flour go ahead and order those.

I've been here many times but this is my first time to write a review. I love the 7 layer dip that is cooked in an iron skillet (yummy, hot goo!!! and the #9 taco!!! Never fails to satisfy!

Pretty good!! First time there. Tacos were pretty filled w substance. I had the veggie taco, chicken fajita taco, and Mexican corn. Very good. Salsa was meh...needed flavor. But they had chicharones and that was tasty. The rice was undercooked. Service was good. Overall, I give it. 4.5 and well worth another visit.

AMAZING! The food is fantastic. The restaurant has a chill atmosphere for a social night or even a date night. You order your food, take a table number, and they bring the food to you. We received our food in under 7 minutes. The bar is separate from the food ordering area. We went on a Thursday night and they had some great priced drinks specials. The outside seating area is enjoyable. The pricing is spot on for the quality of the food. This is one of my new favorite spots in downtown Arlington and I will surely be back.

Great taco place! I had sautéed shrimp taco, smoked salmon taco, chips with queso, and quesadillas for appetizer, and it was all really good. Especially surprised that I hate beans but the shrimp taco was made with beans and rice together inside which I kind of freaked out (lol) but I actually really enjoyed it! Queso was a bit blend to me but my other friends loved it, and chip was crunchy. Unique flavor with great balanced taste for each tacos and even quesadillas. Would come back for sure!
