    In my eternal quest for the perfect chicken fried steak, found Jesús Family Restaurant recommended by local paper's food editor. Just a tiny place but here 53 years. 1/2 inch thick tender meat, rich cream Gravy! Tex-Mex awesome, too! They were busy at 3:15 when I arrived. But still excellent service. Apple fried pie for dessert! Yum!

    For the Best Old School Tex-Mex in Ft.Worth, go to Jesus Family Restaurant. Mexican Dinner #1 is my favorite!!

    Jesus Family Restaurant is incredible! They WERE a BBQ restaurant pre pandemic. Now an amazing Mexican joint! They have been in business for 53 years. The 92 year old grandfather still in the back cooking!! Grandkids running the front. Went yesterday for the 1st time. I HAD THEIR AMAZING CHEESE ENCHILIADAS IN HOMEMADE CHILI SAUCE. Some of the best I've ever eaten! I'll definitely go back often. This is a hidden gem.

    Below average Tex-Mex, there is no BBQ on the menu; they have removed their “specialty” brisket tacos. There is A LOT of very good Tex-Mex in Ft. Worth, no need to go here.

    There food was decent however I really appreciated however friendly the staff was so I gave an extra star for that. The chicken taco was pretty good. I got the cheese enchiladas however wish I would have tried the beef ones. I honestly did not care for the salsa. The rice was pretty good and I enjoyed the beans as well.

    Hole in the wall family place that offers authentic tex-mex at great value. Incredibly huge portions. Amazingly friendly service - the people here make you feel like you're part of the family. Food will fill you up and more. This place is frequented mostly by locals so you know it's good. :) Also they have homemade pies for dessert that sell out quickly. Worth braving a long walk through an empty and dodgy street to get here. The neighborhood is undergoing gentrification.

    Always a great place to go!! Huge variety of cuisine! I like the Mexican fare but you can always get BBQ or Chicken Fried Steak. The homemade fried pies are awesome but you must get there early to get one! Prices reasonable. Service is great!

    Had the beef plate. The pieces of meat were dry tough and definitely not fresh. I would not recommend this option particular meal to anyone. I wish it would have been a better meal for $12. The positives are that this place is quaint and friendly. Also the waitress is very friendly. The chips and fries were very tasty.

    I absolutely love this place! Biggest burrito in town! It's a great place with great prices! It's been my go to place for many years. Thanks for all the great memories.

    Nachos are delicious, but it’s a Texmex place, not BBQ

  • 2/5 fwtxbevo 1 year ago on Google
    First of all, this place is right up my alley. Hole in the wall restaurant with affordable prices. Also, their service is awesome! Unfortunately though, the food has little to no flavor. I've now had cheese enchiladas twice, and fried chicken today. All were sorely lacking in salt, and the fried chicken crust had no flavor whatsoever. I observed nearly every customer adding salt to their respective dish leading me to believe it's more than just these two menu items. If and when you fix this issue I'll be back because I really love the atmosphere there, and the waitstaff are incredibly friendly.

    This is honestly my favorite place to eat. Wife and I come in almost every Saturday, and sit in the same spot. The food never changes, it’s always amazing. This is an amazing hidden gem, and you definitely won’t be wasting your time eating here, nor will you leave hungry or dissatisfied.

    My wife and I have always enjoyed our lunch at Jesus BBQ. I go for their tasty fried chicken. One thing I have to mention is the passing of Mr. Jesus Borjas, my condolences to his family and may God grant him peace and comfort and for his family as well.
