I’ve been meaning to write this review for awhile, but bottom line – This Place is PHENOMENAL!!!

I want to specifically thank Kristin Deaton for inviting my girlfriend and me out to experience the yearly Margarita competition that was hosted on February 18, 2026. We had an absolute blast.

Customer Service
EXTREMELY OUT OF THIS WORLD! Special thanks to Eddie, Bri, Jonny, and Carlo. They truly made our experience amazing -they had phenomenal recommendations for both drinks and food items!

Food
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND WORTH THE PRICE! Flavoring was phenomenal, freshness was well above par, temperature was perfect, and everything tasted special made for us! The food was fairly filling, all depending on your gullet – we just got some tacos to take the edge off so I cannot speak on the portion size for the larger entree plates.

Parking
Semi-tough depending on the situation and day. There is street parking and some paid parking. We did not have a problem, but just wanted to set proper expectations – it’s a variable depending on the day and time.

The ceviche was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The poblano pepper dish was rich, smoky, and absolutely worth ordering again.

Cocktails were on point, the Tres Amigos margarita is smooth and well-crafted, but pro tip: always ask for the Blanco La Pulga skinny margarita. It’s clean, crisp, and will not disappoint.

Great food, great drinks, great vibe especially with those downtown Fort Worth views. Tinies continues to be a solid go-to.

I came across this spot thanks to Fort Worth Lovelist and the rooftop aesthetic had me curious…and it did not disappoint.

The rooftop view is absolutely top-tier — you get that full Fort Worth skyline moment, and it really sets the tone for the evening.

The overall vibe is giving “grown, polished, and outside” — perfect for a date night or a cute girls night out. It’s sexy without trying too hard.

Now let’s talk about this food. They describe the menu as authentic Mexican cuisine inspired by Mexico City, which was a refreshing shift from the usual Tex-Mex we’re used to in Texas. The Trio of Guacamole was actually fun to try — the bacon jam topped one was my favorite hands down. The shrimp and pickled onion one didn’t hit as strong in flavor as I expected, but I’d still order it again.

The Basket of Hand-Made Empanadas… Listen. They had birria inside. I was not expecting to be that impressed — but I was. So good. And the Crispy Octopus was a nice change from the typical calamari situation most places do. Definitely worth trying if you like branching out a bit.

I’ll definitely be back — and if you haven’t been yet, go ahead and put it on your list. Go sooner rather than later.

What a great place to unwind. Atmosphere is cozy with a sort of romantic ambiance. Our waiter was extremely helpful with menu options and more importantly the story behind this bar. We had great conversation and libations. The food is more Mexican cuisine wich we are huge fans of. We started with the tamale trio (seasonal) then had barbacoa short ribs with bone marrow and pulpo en chile morita. We want to come back to experience the music and upstairs bar soon. Food is delicious and can be portioned to share, margaritas were equally as good.

I’ve been coming to Tinies since before the recent changes, and I’ll happily keep doing what I do best, occupying my usual corner of the bar with my wife.

The food is as genuine as it gets. The cocktails are consistently on point and in the evenings, the atmosphere is just right for sharing a great moment with friends or your significant other.

What really stands out lately is the visible effort from the management team. You can feel the care they’re putting into the place, and it honestly makes you want to cheer them on.

I’m a lifelong “corner of the bar” kind of customer — and as a Mexican, I truly applaud the flavors. They’re authentic, thoughtful, and done with respect.

Highly recommend.

The space itself is very cool. I don’t think I would recommend this to a vegetarian, nothing on the menu is marked “V” or anything, so I had to ask the server multiple questions about each item to see if it’s something I could eat or not. Even basic stuff, she told me the rice would be fine, but when I asked if it was made with chicken broth, yes it is.. so it’s in no way fine for a vegetarian. Beans have lard, tortillas have lard. There were a few vegetable sides that seemed to be okay… but I’m not really sure. Margaritas were not my favorite. Everyone who got meat loved it. The pisole seemed to be a big hit, and the pork belly tacos. This experience would have been a lot better if my server had more knowledge about the menu or if the menu was clearly labeled. Or maybe they don’t have a single thing safe for a vegetarian and that’s why nothing was labeled but I guess I’ll never know

It’s important to say, I used to live in the neighborhood of this restaurant. I came back this weekend and was very excited to return because this was one of my favorite places . I respect the rebrand and the changes to the menu; however, there needs to be a happy medium that isn’t so unsatisfying.

First, there needs to be more versatility, and there is no reason the portions should be as small as they are. Some items were staples on the menu, and it’s disappointing to see they weren’t kept after the changes. If authentic Mexican cuisine is the brand the restaurant is going for, guests should not leave hungry. I have never been to a Mexican restaurant with portions this small—even at high-end Mexican establishments.

Our table ordered two appetizers that required chips, yet we were given one very small basket and had to ask twice for more. Another issue is that when you order a meat, such as chicken, it comes by itself and sides must be ordered separately. While this makes sense at a very high-end restaurant, Tinies is not that—and if that is the direction you’re aiming for, I don’t think it’s being approached in the right way.

When ordering the filet, the portion of green beans and potatoes was barely enough to feed a three-year-old child. I’m really hoping, as mentioned, that there can be a happy medium. The food itself is very good, but the portion sizes are not, and that alone makes it not worth returning.

Unfortunately, I do not think I would come back unless further changes are made on top of the ones that were just implemented. Although the food is good, I do not see the restaurant getting repeat customers because it feels like a place you try and don’t come back & that’s sad to say as someone who really liked it here. Politely this restaurant is doing too much while simultaneously not doing enough.

We recently returned to this restaurant on a Saturday evening to celebrate a family member’s birthday, encouraged by the positive experience we had during a previous visit. The ambiance remained just as relaxed and inviting as we remembered.

Upon arrival, we were seated promptly and greeted by our server, Brie, who made a great first impression. Unfortunately, the timing of the service did not follow suit. It took approximately 30 minutes to receive our drinks and another 30 for the appetizers. Our entrées were served nearly 45 minutes after we had finished the appetizers. To their credit, both Brie and the manager checked in with sincere apologies and explained that a large party upstairs had affected kitchen operations, which we appreciated.

Where the evening fell short was in the food quality. While the presentation was nice, the flavors didn’t quite meet expectations, especially when compared to our previous visit. The fish entrée featured a well-prepared sauce, but the fish itself was overcooked. The tres leches dessert was decent.

In total, dinner service stretched over two hours and forty-five minutes, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the occasion. While the staff was kind and attentive within their limitations, the overall experience felt underwhelming given the circumstances.

As a Mexican food and margarita snob, let me tell you, this place outdoes itself time and time again. By far the best food and best drinks you will find this side of Ciudad de Mexico!
If you are here in the next 2 weeks, find Hunter! By far our favorite server/bartender. But truly, they’re all great.
