I moved here from San Diego a year ago and have been searching tirelessly for the perfect breakfast gut bomb wrapped in a tortilla, and I finally found it in the hospital district. For everyone who is tired of having to order 2 b-fast burritos to sate their appetite, Paco and Johns is your solution. I don't know where they get their tortillas but they are the perfect size. Also and equally important, their salsa is homemade and amazing. You can buy a container to go for around $1.50, and it will knock your friends' socks off.<br /><br />Sorry for sounding overly excited about this restaurant, but I am because I feel like I stumbled upon a goldmine. Check this place out because if it doesn't get the business it deserves and I get cheated out of my breakfast burritos I'm going to be mad at all of you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683255617605470517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-10645913837962902692009-08-09T22:27:51.934-05:002009-08-09T22:27:51.934-05:00I have recently deleted Qahir's comment for co...I have recently deleted Qahir's comment for comments that I do not believe are appropriate for this blog.FortWorthHoleInTheWallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066788576614660173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-19303549071253871632009-06-21T22:58:10.239-05:002009-06-21T22:58:10.239-05:00Mr. Holeinthewall,

I ate here a long time ago when I was a little girl and I really loved the idea of it and I wasn't even sure if it was still open until I drove by this evening.<br /><br />Don't be scared of the location - I know it looks sketch, but maybe just try it and see what you think. It used to be fabulous but I can't make any promises.<br /><br />It is called Mi Cocinita on 3509 (and 1/2) Bryan Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas 76110 (817-923-0033). Their sign says they are only open Wed-Fri.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071763672449759793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-27218050891372915212009-06-15T13:16:44.244-05:002009-06-15T13:16:44.244-05:00They actually have a sign up on the door now about...They actually have a sign up on the door now about not seating incomplete parties.<br><br />That aside, I had the queso poblano soup and the red snapper taco last week and both were fabulous. The soup was creamy, with just enough spice. The fish in the taco was moist and the tortilla was fresh, but the whole thing wasn't damp, so it didn't rip. The tomatillo salsa served with the fish taco was excellent as well, with a good bite on the back end of the taste.<br><br />The food was good, the wait staff was friendly and willing to discuss the menu and the prices were affordable. I'm going back as often as I can!Itzelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-33040441707006530752009-05-05T22:35:00.000-05:002009-05-05T22:35:00.000-05:00Lloyd, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I...Lloyd, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. It may have been because I told them to kick out all people with two L's in their name. Its based on an irrational fear I have. Plus I have that power. In actuality, thats the kind of stuff that will keep me from ever returning to a restaurant so I can't fault you on your feelings. Service is something all restaurants need to focus on. If you give it another shot, let me know how things work out for you.<br /><br />Everybody else, I think some of the people involved in the restaurant read this blog daily. So just go in and say you're name is Lloyd and you'll probably get some VIP treatment.<br /><br />Anonymous, I have heard that about the salmon enchiladas from numerous people so I may have to get them now.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and keep the comments coming.FortWorthHoleInTheWallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066788576614660173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-285665879755748172009-05-01T14:17:00.000-05:002009-05-01T14:17:00.000-05:00Tried to eat lunch there today, and had a very unp...Tried to eat lunch there today, and had a very unpleasant experience. I was meeting my wife there and got there several minutes before her, so I waited for a table for about 10 minutes. When my turn came (at 1225p), the french guy at the front asked me if my wife was there - I said that she was nearby and would be right in. So he sat me. <br /><br />At 1232p (seven minutes after I sat down), with my wife pulling into the parking lot (she had gotten lost and turned the wrong way on 8th), the french "gentleman" came over to my table, picked up the menus, and said I would have to get back in line. When I explained that my wife could be seen outside pulling into the parking lot, he said he didn't care. He unapologetically made me get up and gave the table to someone else.<br /><br />I guess I understand why they might not seat incomplete parties, as it ties up a table. My view is - if that policy is so important to you - you should make it clear with signs, wording on the menu - and not seat an incomplete party.<br /><br />Anyways, the food looked good but, needless to say, I am not going back there and won't be recommending it to anyone.<br /><br />Which is what I really don't understand - why embarrass someone to the extent that they will become a vocal and strident critic of your restaurant?<br /><br />Rant over. <br /><br />PS love the blog - long time lurkerLloydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-76454307814866514232009-04-30T06:42:00.000-05:002009-04-30T06:42:00.000-05:00I've tried the salmon enchiladas and they're A+. ...I've tried the salmon enchiladas and they're A+. Definitely worth a try. Granted, it's a lot of food for lunch. It's also hard to order a $9 plate when some of the best tacos in town are under $2. The guacamole has perfect flavor and is very creamy, which I prefer to more traditional chunky guacamole. When this place gets a patio and starts serving dinner I imagine it will be hard to find a table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-51288734906898816612009-04-13T16:05:00.000-05:002009-04-13T16:05:00.000-05:00Anonymous hippie, its long.But also stylish.Anonymous hippie, its long.<BR/><BR/>But also stylish.FortWorthHoleInTheWallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066788576614660173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723944530126199827.post-49535700534326710862009-04-13T14:36:00.000-05:002009-04-13T14:36:00.000-05:00My hair is not that long.
