This place may seem unassuming, but the food was absolutely incredible. I got the bowl with brisket and it was enough for 2 large meals for myself! Their chips and queso are also outstanding!

My goblet of Dos Equis Amber was totally enjoyable as usual. The chips and salsa are addicting but let's talk main course. Lunch special Chicken Tortilla Soup is good but always somewhat salty. But what I can't understand is the chicken quesadillas. It's lunchtime about 1:30 on a Monday afternoon. They seemed to be leftover from Super Bowl Sunday. Not fresh. Chicken dry and hard. This phenomenon occurs every time we come in. We are searching for a decent Mexican restaurant with a liquor license and ample tables to try. Like the old Mexican Food Factory

My son brought me here on Mother's Day, and only one of the kids had Mexican food. She was…read moredisappointed with the nachos from the kids menu as they were only topped with cheese and the place they usually go serves them loaded, but that'w what I fix at home and the cheese was good. Older grandson had wings, and they were so spicy that he kept running out of water and we had to ask for more water a couple times. I had a combo with a cheese enchilada, which was good but surprising because it was topped with seasoning instead of sauce, and a chimichanga which was very good. Middle grandkids shared a chicken basket. I'm somewhat mobility impaired and the choice of seating was the patio, which is all high-tops, which don't work for me, or upstairs and there was no elevator. I did climb the stairs, but it's a slow process, so beware if that will be an issue for you.

Tortillas on the enchiladas were bland and stale tasting, barely cooked. Meat was okay, not great. Sauce tastes like Italian tomato sauce. Have to say none of us really enjoyed our food.

If I could give them zero stars, I would. The food is absolutely horrible. I used to go to…read moreBorder Cafe all the time, as I loved the way they did their fajitas. Well, everything has changed. I ordered the chicken fajitas with no peppers, only to be told that they coudn't accomodate that request. Apparently they don't cut their own onions & peppers anymore, it comes in as a mix. I'm sorry, but if someone orders no peppers, accomodate them. The fajitas came out not sizzling and stuck to the cast iron skillet. Chicken was lukewarm so it was sitting in the kitchen for a bit. The tortillas used to be in a basket wrapped in a napkin to keep them warm & soft. Not anymore. They came on the skillet with the lukewarm chicken & they were hard around the edges. More evidence of food just sitting around. I loved the chicken fajitas there, that place was what made me even like fajitas. Unfortunately, they have lost me as a customer. They've even changed the way the do the tortilla chips. I don't think they're homemade anymore. They taste like they were dumped out of a bag into a basket. I'm sure these decisions were made to save money. Well, in an attempt to save money, you have sacrificed the quality of the food. Horrible!!!!!

Second time here after almost 10 years and it didn't disappoint. Still the same Mexican vibe and…read morefun atmosphere but with an added enclosed room now that just widens the great room they have. Our waiter (very friendly brazilian guy) was top notch from start to end, always on top of the table (party of 4) to make sure we were good with drinks, that food was good and up to standards and nothing was missing, and always with a smile and a positive attitude. We had queso fundido and guac to start which was pretty addictive (we had 2 baskets of chips). After we had fajitas, chicken quesadillas and beef enchiladas. We all ate and still were able to take some home. Very flavorful and seasoned food, great portions and very price friendly. We had such a great time and will definitely be back soon for more, what a wonderful evening!

We sat at the bar, ordered way too much for two people, and enjoyed every bit of it. The empanadas, which are clearly a crowd favorite, absolutely delivered, and I loved that there were vegetarian options not just for those but across the menu more broadly. That made a big difference. Yes, it's crowded, and yes, you should think about reserving before you go, but the wait is worth it. The staff was also really helpful and kept things moving despite how packed the place was. If you're in Iselin, Jose Tejas is an easy recommendation.

When you ask about the $32 online payment you just made to them, they shrug. "Yeah, we're on GrubHub, but we don't accept orders from GrubHub, so they have your money." That's it? How about helping me reorder my food? How about getting off GrubHub? How about acting like you care just a tiny, teensy bit for your customer? I had been a long time takeout customer, but will be heading elsewhere after seeing how little they care - I suggest Machete Mobile nearby, or Tonalteca.

I love that they have tvs outside and picnics benches, my kind of place. My mojito was so freaking good and if I just went for drinks they would probably get 5 stars. That's not the case. The Bad: We waited awhile for our food but no big because it's crowded. The nachos came without the pulled pork and were so so salty but lacking cheese and everything else. She did end up giving us the pulled pork on the side. The ok: our shrimp tacos were ok just seemed like shrimp and sauce in a tortilla but the flavor was good. Bbq platter was ok, e liked the bbq sauce and hot sauce choices. The ugly: after waiting awhile for our food to come out it was cold, the rice, the refried beans and the baked beans for the bbq were all cold not even a little warm. Our waitress was busy and hard to catch so we just left it. Ate what we wanted and left, they include 20% gratuity in the check. I'd go back because I like the vibe a lot just things were a miss tonight.

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-
