    Guacamole and Chips (rear) and Big Beef Wrap (front)
    Jane Y.

    This review is based on my Covid-19 outdoor dining experience. I came here for lunch with some friends, and thought that the food was yummy, and prices reasonable overall. They have several outdoors spots, but they go quick, so make sure you grab a seat as soon as you see one! I'm not really sure how ordering regularly would work, but since they take orders inside, we took turns going in to order so that someone would be able to keep claim to our outdoor table. You order and pay indoors, and then when the food is ready, they bring it to your table outside. It's not really clear how service really works, because my friends and I were brought our order (which we didn't know was going to happen), but then we cleaned the table ourselves... so is it self service or staff served? They also ask for a tip upfront when you're paying, but you order at the counter instead of being seated outdoors and having someone come take your order. Although the service protocol is confusing, the staff was very friendly, and the food was yummy and reasonably priced. I ordered a burrito, and to be honest, I'm not a burrito fan, but their big beef wrap was delicious, and the salad and tacos my friends ordered looked good. Oh, and they serve you complimentary salsa and chips with your dish - I wish I had known this because then I wouldn't have ordered guacamole and chips for us to nosh on while waiting for our order. The guac was yummy, but it was $9 I would have rather saved... especially given the small serving of guac you're given.

    Badland Nachos

    Badlands Nachos, Badlands Tacos Poquito Pollo Tacos Veggin Out Tacos Chips and quac All terrible selections. The problem is the chips, corn tortillas and meat. And the lack of content in the badland nachos. Family of 4 paid a lot for crappy food. Very bad quality. We were all very disappointed. I was embarrassed since my family were visiting. We will never order from here again.

    Blackened chicken quesadillas.
    Charlie T.

    Was in Waldwick for some work training, had a hankering for tacos (as I always do) and searched the area. Came across badlands tacos and 5 minutes later I was pulling into the lot. I was in a bit of a time crunch so I opted for the quesadillas for an easier road munch. They were great, good crunch, not tooo tooo full with cheese, and the blackened chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be stopping in again whenever I find myself in the area.

    Badlands taco place is a nice addition to Ramsey downtown. This place opened up a few years ago and has been a go-to from many locals. Mostly people have been doing takeout during the Covid pandemic timeframe however the popularity of this place has not gone down. Some people like to eat inside now since things have been opening up after pandemic however most people still prefer to do takeout. The place is flexible with whatever your preference is and do not push one way or the other. The place is fast, cheap, A good staple to have in your takeout or eating collection.

    Rock in my chili fries.
    F. L.

    On August 23 we placed an order and had it delivered. We have had the food at badlands before so we knew what to expect. We ordered some tacos and chili fries. Delivery was fine and we started to eat. Everything was going ok until I got to the bottom of my chili fries and noticed something very hard. It was a rock! At first I thought it was some thing burnt but no.....it was a rock! We called badlands and explained to the young lady on the phone what happened. She started to laugh and said " so do you want another one?" We said "no thank you but wanted to inform you of what happened and that someone could get hurt. She then giggled some more. I wanted to see if maybe she would inform someone in charge but I'm sure she didn't. I'm not sure if this was some cruel joke or a complete accident but someone could have gotten seriously hurt.

    My husband has been passing this place by o. His travels for work. So finally one weekend after being out and about town, he decides to go try this place out. It was quiet on the Saturday we went, only 2 other parties were already dining. It was too hot to eat outside so we decided indoors was best. Nice establishment, clean and well maintained. It took a few minutes for the person to come from behind to take our order, she may have been the only person. Ordering was quick and easy and service was within 8-10 minutes. The portions were generous and eye-peeling. My son got the chili n cheese burrito, I got the fish tacos, my husband a bit over hungry got chicken tacos, beef tacos and shredded beef burrito. All cam with tortilla chips and fresh salsa. Very filling, we all tried eachothers choices and everyone was just delicious. My husband was too full from 3 tacos he opted to take the shredded beef burrito home, but he took a huge bite out if it first became he wanted to know if it was good..... it was. A lovely small establisment. I'd have a meal here again.

    Kick'n chick'n burrito
    Laurel F.

    While visiting some family in Ramsey, I had the time to check out badlands tacos. Badlands is connected to a burger joint, so it serves up both Mexican and burgers in the same kitchen. Seemed a bit odd, but the tacos ended up tasting great! I ordered the badlands tacos ($8.50) which comes with two tacos and chips & salsa. The tacos had ground beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream and hot sauce. They were packed with meat and toppings, but lacked a bit of flavor (I couldn't really taste the hot sauce), but the ingredients were fresh! My boyfriend had the kick'n chick'n burrito ($9.95) which comes with a burrito and chips & salsa. The burrito had shredded chicken, guac, cheese, sour cream, lettuce and tomato. He said it was tasty but he needed to add some of the complimentary hot sauce to it for some extra flavor. All in all a great experience with quick & friendly service. Will definitely return when I'm back in the area!

We had the octopus appetizer this time and a large Greek salad with grilled calamari. Such a refreshing, delicious dinner to share. Lots of chargrilled octopus, sliced up to eat and dressed with parsley, capers, lemon and olive oil. Ugh, so good. Drizzle more of that awesome table EVOO for even more yumminess. The large Greek salad is...large. It's well balanced, has mild feta and we got it all topped with grilled calamari (for an added $9). It's a good value as you get plenty of calamari (vs ordering an app of calamari). Dinner ends with complementary Greek cookies - kourabiedes. Bring cash app they charge a credit card fee (my only gripe here). We bright home a gyro platter to go and our server timed the order perfectly so it came out right when we were about to leave.

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We were the 1st customers shortly after opening at 11:30 AM on a Saturday.

In the past year of me frequenting this place, she has made mistakes on my order, then refused to refund me for what I did not order, she would turn her back on me as I approached the register, speak ill of me and other customers in Spanish (as if we can't understand it? Spanish is taught in almost all secondary schools now and the average American has a basic understanding of the language). She has also raised her voice at me when she didn't understand my order. Finally confronted her about her behavior recently and she claims "she has never met me." This is a blatant lie and she became flustered (and very quiet) upon learning that I understand Spanish. Reported her to corporate and they notified me that she was spoken to and that this incident(s) will be documented. Hopefully, she gets her act together and stops acting like an immature pre-teen. To other customers, especially if you understand Spanish, pay attention to what they say- I've heard them numerous times speaking badly about customers, right to their faces, thinking that no one understands the language. I've ignored it for months but came to a breaking point. As a manager of a franchise establishment, it is her duty to create a pleasant and positive culture for customers AND staff. However, she seems to be the ringleader of gossip and passive aggressive hostility. This kind of behavior taints the whole company's image and it's very unfortunate that adults act like this.
