"Portobello mushroom fajitas were a great twist on the veggie fajita, and were well executed. Although service was acceptable, bigger tables fared better from service perspective overall."

"Upon arrival RJ Mexican Cusine was extremely crowded but it was a good thing that I had made reservations through Open Table. People we spoke with had been two nights previous without a reservation and the wait was over two hours so they rearranged their plans to come back. The food and service were excellent and by the time we left we were stuffed! Hilario Casas went out of his way to be accommodating and even though there was a large party booked in the dining room, several tables had been saved for smaller parties such as ours of 2. If I ever have the opportunity to return to Dallas, I will definitely return to this restaurant."

"When we arrived, a host spoke to the two groups in front of us then disappeared. We waited another 5-10 minutes for someone else to arrive at the host stand. This guy didn't even acknowledge us at first, and I had to say "Sir" four times to get his attention. I told him we had a reservation, and he disappeared for another five minutes before coming back to seat us. No explanation, just gone.
The server was obviously new, but he was also just slow. Refills were slow to come. Queso was slow to arrive. When we asked for dessert menus, he took forever to produce the menus and WAY too long to explain. He kept forgetting what each had. Half our party didn't' trust him to remember their allergies and altered their dessert order."

"My husband claims he ate the best ever Chille Relleno at RJ's. That is saying alot as he eats this dish in many, many Mexican restaurants My chimicanga was average. It was a busy mid-week night and the restaurant seemed understaffed. We had chips and water for nearly 30 minutes before an order was taken. This is not the place for a quiet evening, but I would try it again"

"Disappointed that our appetizer -chili con queso was cold. Had to send back to re warm. Dinner arrived luke warm. Not sure why our food was not hot the entire evening. Im confident it would be really good if it was hot. Service attendant was slow."

"Please don't go here!!! I saw the reviews and decided to roll the dice and now I regret not listening to the others!!! The chips were definitely stale (and based on the reviews from others this wasn't a fluke). The dishes were expensive and tasted like everything had been frozen at some point. Veggie fajitas didn't even come with a side of sour cream, pico, etc (like regular fajitas)."
