You can improve by making the bathrooms bigger bathroom because people will be there all time because people will be pooping all the dry food I'd rather have ihop. I think the workers at ihop can make better and they have better bathrooms

Taco Salad
Ahmad H.

They have terrible customer service plus what they serve besides the appetizer that they bring for free is absolutely disgusting and tastes like canned food. It looks good till u bite in it

If I had to sum up Cancun Mexican Restaurant in just two words, those words would be "poor execution"; the fries were cold, the dishes were in disarray, and the table was dirty :-( Tip: To add insult to injury, they charge an 18% mandatory gratuity for parties of four or more! To try and reduce the number of words in the restaurant summary to one, I'd go with "unpleasant". The bottom line is that this is no way to run a business - I won't be returning.

Steak shrimp and chicken fajitas
Neferteri G.

I came for a work dinner with a few coworkers. The service was fantastic, very quick and they were all so kind. The food was good while I was eating it, but it did give me an upset stomach later that day. This place has been around for a while, but I just don't think it's as good as it used to be. I would go back though and try something new. The margs are awesome!! Yum.

Pork Carnitas
Cesar G.

Great service. I enjoy starting our meals with margaritas and chips with salsa. Pork carnitas were flavorful, recommend adding hot sauce if you're looking for an extra kick. Supreme enchiladas were filling and flavorful. Paired well with a side of refried beans and sour cream. Enjoyed the ambience and tv's were showing the olympics.

Tamales

Very good Mexican Restaurant! Theming is beautiful, food is delicious and pricing is right. Service was very good, always enjoy the included chips and salsa to start :). We had chicken fajitas and pork carnitas, both were very good. Meat was tender and flavorful, served with rice and beans that were great as well. Will be back.

It doesn't matter how the food is when there's a cockroach on the wall next to you while you're eating. The meal should have been at a discount if not free. That's just gross. Will never return again.

Seated immediately. Fast and friendly service. Delicious fresh tea and WE ordered chicken quesadillas. The taste was fresh, flavorful & fantastic!! This is my favorite place to go friends chips and salsa. I'm a big fan of their salsa. Of course the music is fun. The decor is so colorful and festive. Hand painted furnishings. Some Are Diego Rivera inspired!

I'm a huge Mexican food junkie, so I had to try out this place when I heard that they were pretty…read moregood (and that they had a whole wall of hot sauce). You order at the counter and then seat yourself and wait for them to prepare your food. There was no wait on this Saturday afternoon, so I decided I'd try the nachos with the veggie option, without sour cream. The food was ready pretty quickly. The nachos looked great! but didn't taste as good as they looked. It was nacho cheese, instead of shredded cheese, which is probably what ruined it for me. If there's an option to substitute for real cheese, I'd try that next time. Otherwise, the nachos weren't too bad. Also, I don't like giant chunks of sweet peppers and onions, so I'd ask them to leave those out next time too. My boyfriend's burrito was enjoyable, however. Side note: bathrooms weren't dirty, but both soap dispensers were empty, as were the paper towels. Ew. I'd probably try them again if it were convenient, but not sure if I'd go with the nachos next time.

I haven't been here in a while because last time the service and the food was not good. This time the experience was a little different. The place was empty. The employee was working by herself. She took the order along with another persons and began making our food while we both looked at the hot sauce wall! The walk was once filled with options to try of various heat strengths. Now it's barely full, the bottles are mostly empty or one of gross. They need to fix this area or just remove it. I took nothing from it. Grabbed my food to go! Go the bbq ranch as a bowl. It was a very large bowl of food. Everything was delicious and fresh. The right amount of sauce and rice were used. I love this combination! I will return for another bowl before my next birthday this year. I really hope the sauces get updated. I miss trying them out! I actually have bought a few of them in the past but that's not even an option anymore.

The name would lead you to believe that it's a small hole in the wall dive. And it may have been that way at one time but they have bought out the space next door and are converting it into a huge 2nd dining room. If a place is expanding that tells me one thing: the food is good. And it is! I ordered chicken fajitas with a side of rice. The fajitas were very flavorful and had generous amounts of chicken. Its also a very large portion so I know what I'll be eating for lunch tomorrow. The rice was a tad on the dry side but I added in several of the sauces and it was good to go. The main dining area is really cute--- definitely a good stop for a date night. Parking is a bit hard to find as you have to turn down a side street to enter the lot in the back of the restaurant. And the food comes out hot and lightning fast. I will definitely be back as they have a very large menu and there are many dishes I want to try. Overall Rating: A-

Tried it twice bc I thought maybe the first time was a bad day but after the second I determined this place just doesn't make good food. I've had the burrito and bland and not worth the money, paid $4 for ONE carne asada taco which is mediocre. Got the salsa verde which might be worse then the one Taco Bell use to give. Both times I ate here it made me sick also. Nachos, garbage, quesadillas bland and underwhelming. Tried all the taco and none blew me away. Honestly if you want food that will blow you away go to El Tapitio in South River it's a million times better. Sorry Milltown Tex Mex you just were not it for me at least.

Jose Tejas - Iselin, NJ…read more First things first... those Jose Tejas chips are downright ADDICTIVE! Freshly made, served warm, and paired with their delicious house salsa. You tell yourself you'll just have a few, but before you know it, the basket is disappearing! And I'm sure anyone who's been here knows exactly what I'm talking about! Jose Tejas has been a popular destination in the Iselin/Woodbridge area for years, bringing together the bold flavors of Tex-Mex cuisine with a little Cajun and Creole influence. It's a lively, casual restaurant with a fun atmosphere, generous portions, and plenty of familiar favorites that keep people coming back. The restaurant itself hasn't changed much, but the menu has been condensed since COVID. Thankfully, they've kept many of the longtime favorites, so no complaints here! We started with a bowl of Louisiana Gumbo, loaded with chicken and sausage, garnished with white rice and fresh green onions. A hearty, flavorful way to kick off the meal! For entrees, we went with: Mesquite Chimichurri Steak: A tender skirt steak, seasoned and grilled over mesquite wood, cooked perfectly medium, sliced, and topped with their fresh herb Chimi Verde sauce. Served with crispy shoestring fries. The smoky flavor from the mesquite grill paired beautifully with that fresh, flavorful sauce. Beef Burro: A generously stuffed, large fresh flour tortilla filled with tender marinated beef and cheese, smothered in homemade enchilada sauce and served with your choice of side. Comfort food at its best! Service was quick and attentive. Our server was always on top of refilling those HUGE glasses of water. Another nice perk: soft drinks and iced tea come with free refills, and so do the chips and salsa! Did I mention those chips are addictive? LOL! Jose Tejas continues to be a great spot for flavorful Tex-Mex and Cajun-inspired comfort food, generous portions, and a lively dining experience. Whether you're a longtime regular or visiting for the first time, there's plenty to enjoy. Definitely worth a visit. Just don't blame me if you fill up on the chips before your food arrives! You have been warned!

HUGE Jose Tejas fan. The crispy diet cokes, chips & queso, salmon tacos, quesadillas are unmatched…read more And for the price, you can't find anything better! *They also offer an amazing happy hour!

Positives: gazpacho was so fresh, Fritos app was good. Taku taku was delicious. However this is the third time I've gone and something is pretty off - previously just some very fishy ceviche (but also have had great ceviche there too! my sister loves it every time). The mole had an overwhelming clove taste added, the nachos were just okay, and unfortunately the guacalote was inedible to us and $17. I am not sure if they usually use fresh corn, and ran out, but the corn was clearly from a can with an overwhelmingly canned taste and the guac was very tart/ sour. When asked, the servers were very nice, and assured us it was fresh corn. Being from Jersey access to some of the best corn, I can whole heartedly say this was not the case for our dish. This is a great menu option! and I hope they take the feedback to ensure it is fresh every time, or be transparent if they are out of corn/what they are using. I know many people do not care at all, and it's become typical for restaurants to used canned corn. This dish was also an appetizer and came out very late, I wish they had just removed it from our bill after the long wait/ all 3 of us agreeing the flavor was very off. Huge contrast from the soup special which tasted super fresh and we could definitely taste the difference in quality! Again, servers were very pleasant and absolutely doing their best.
