Baja Cantina ($-$), Far North, Fort Worth
▪ Where is this restaurant? 8245 Precinct Line Rd, near Walmart in North Richland Hills.
▪ What readers recommend about Baja Cantina:
“Their salsa is made everyday. We know this as it is just a little different every time we go, but that’s how we know it’s fresh! Plus it has a kick, which we love! Can’t beat their fajitas and their brisket tacos. That brisket is hands down some of the best I’ve had in the area. Fajitas are made to order. Their ceviche is always on point and I literally crave it when it starts getting hot outside. Can’t beat their margaritas, not flashy or anything, but it does the job and I only need one! Honestly, this is my family’s go to Tex Mex. Everything is fresh and you can taste the quality!”
▪ What else to know: Almost 20 years ago, owner Tony Segovia opened Baja Cantina the first DFW location in Wattatuga. The second location opened in Keller in 2011 (currently temporarily closed), followed by two more in North Richland Hills and Roanoke. Known for its laid-back vibe, margaritas and tacos, Baja Cantina is all about living spontaneously and enjoying life’s simple pleasures—like Ritas, tacos, and queso.. Popular menu items include fajitas, brisket tacos, and ceviche. See the menu.
