My oldest sibling Robin, her husband Woody, her oldest daughter Debbie and Debbie's kids. Also Amy and me. We are all at the Spring Creek Barbeque in Grapevine, Texas:

Garcia's Mexican Restaurant near the Ft. Worth Stockyards. Joe T's is a local institution sort of like Matta's was in Mesa. The difference is that Joe T's is much larger, maybe 4 times as large as Matta's. Another difference is that they don't actually have a printed menu. You have your choice of enchiladas with tacos or you can choose fajitas and they don't take credit cards but nobody seems to mind. On a weeknight, it's not uncommon to wait for 45 minutes to get an outdoor seat. On a weekend, it's longer (although there is often no wait for indoor seats).
Anyway, here are some video clips of our most recent visit to Joe T. Garcia's:
