Joe T. Garcia's
Fort Worth, Texas
Forget the fajitas at your local tex-mex chain — if you want the real deal, head to Joe T. Garcia's. Aside from the aforementioned fajitas that arrive so hot you have to back away from the table, this DFW institution — it was opened in 1935 — offers fresh tortillas, fantastic enchiladas, and a host of tasty Mexican drinks. For those that wake up feeling spicy, they also offer breakfast, and if you don't get your fill on the outdoor patio, you can always order up some salsa to go.
