Based on the popularity of its downtown Fort Worth location, the arrival of the Mexican Inn CafÃ?© in the Bedford/Mid Cities location is considered a coup.

That is the first strike against an eagerly awaited lunch experience. The menu offers the usual platters from ultimate nachos to sizzling fajitas.
