Cafe Gecko Fairview - Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Fairview

My first time back to Cafe Gecko since about 1995-6 at the original location in Addison. Cafe Gecko Fairview had the same exceptional service, warm, friendly and fun environment with the most amazing food, drinks and service!!! We were greeted immediately upon entering by Mackenzie, who was also our waitress. She was attentive, happy, friendly and knowledgeable to the menu and food. We ordered our drinks (Makers & Coke) and an ice water for me and water for my wife upon being seating. Drinks were there within 2 minutes!! We then ordered cheese dip and stuffed peppers as our appetizers, as we wanted to try a variety. These were both brought in a very timely manner, very hot, fresh and DELICIOUS!! We munched on our appetizers and visited and finally ordered our lunch specials. My wife had the Santiago beef and I had Arturo’s sour cream & chicken enchiladas. They were brought to us in the amount of time you would expect to wait, between 5-10 minutes. The enchiladas, rice and beans were PERFECT. They were plated and tasted EXCEPTIONAL!! The beans were quite possibly the best I have ever had. From the moment we walked in, until the moment we exited, we were 100% impressed with everything Cafe Gecko has to offer. The environment was casual, relaxed and fun with NUMEROUS televisions on every wall. This will be an AWESOME place to catch a game at. Cafe Gecko is definitely a hidden gem and is a must for anyone in the area. My wife and I will 100% be returning regularly!! Thank you so much Cafe Gecko Fairview for providing my wife and I with exceptional service and quality to make for an amazing...

I recently moved into the apartments at Fairview Town Center. I've been trying to get out and visit the shops and restaurants. It's so nice to be able to walk everywhere This was the first time I had ever been to Cafe Gecko. I really chose this place because it has a huge outdoor dining area that's dog friendly. I always have so much to do/errands to run on the weekends and I feel so guilty leaving our dog home alone. It's great to find a place where I can take him with me. My server was Gabrielle and the first thing she asked me was if she could get my dog a bowl of water. I ordered a beer and after she walked away another woman (the Manager?) also approached my table and asked me about getting my dog water. So, they were very attentive and welcoming to me and my dog. I was torn between getting a burger or the tacos. On the suggestion of my server I ordered the Steak soft tacos. I opted for the spicy ones. My food arrived promptly and hot. I loved the tacos, the steak was tender and had good flavor. It was spicy but not overwhelming so, just right. I think they would be better topped off with a little avocado or cheese. But, they were good. I liked the borracho beans and the pico de gallo. I wasn't a fan of the rice but, I'm just not a fan of that kind of rice anyway. I usually ask for extra beans if some other kind of rice is not available but I forgot. The weather was perfect for sitting on the patio, the prices were reasonable, the service and the food was good. I will...

Stopped in and had lunch on a Thursday afternoon about 1pm. It was seat yourself. They were not busy. Waited about 15 minutes to get a menu and put in a drink order. Took about 20 minutes to get my sandwich and fries. Servers were completely ignoring customers and were on personal phones behind the bar talking for over half my visit. Other than 1 refill (from someone other than my server) , I did not see a server between ordering and receiving the check. Took over an hour total. On another note, the food was really good. I had the smoked turkey sandwich and fries. Fries were a over cooked for my taste but others may like them that way. Homemade honey mustard was super yummy! And the bun was soft and sweet. So good! They had plenty of tv's for sporting events and a decent drink menu. I would try again at a different time but sometimes no matter how good the food is, bad service will lose...
