Benito's

Fort Worth


The welcoming Gonzalez family has been here for more than three decades, offering a good mix of familiar and adventurous items, like Mexican-style pork chops and tamal oaxaqueno (cornmeal baked in a banana leaf with chicken and red mole). We like the Spanish lesson on the menu, so you can say 'Mas cerveza por favor' (more beer please) with aplomb.
