    About

    Maria's Mexican Kitchen on South University Drive serves contemporary Mexican cuisine in Fort Worth's University / TCU area. Felipe Armenta created the concept as a tribute to his mother, Maria De Los Angeles Gil Armenta, drawing on family recipes and flavors connected to Guanajuato, Mexico. Executive Chef Ivan Campos leads the current kitchen, which offers composed Mexican dishes, mole, brunch selections, and a full bar with agave spirits. The dining room and patio suit both casual meals and celebrations. Best for modern Mexican cooking, family-inspired recipes, and a polished meal near TCU.
