We went to have lunch here on a Saturday. Not busy, only a few dine in customers are around. We ordered beef burrito and chicken fajitas. The food is authentic Mexican taste. It's delicious. Nicely decorated place and servers are friendly and helpful. We wish that they will include Lengua entrees next time. read more

**CHEAP EATS ALERT! I went for takeout lunch and ordered two beef burritos, one mulita style which means that it was covered in red spicy sauce. My mulita tasted great. Although I did not expect for the sauce to be spicy at all, the heat level was tolerably low... I give it a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale. My little guy enjoyed his burrito as well, especially because it was garnished with jalapenos - which he loves! The style of burritos they make is not what I'm accustomed to. I recommend that they be eaten by fork and knife. You can try to eat one by hand if you don't mind making a juicy mess up things. Everything tasted great, the ingredients were fresh, so all in all my lunch was a good value for the price. I could have easily paid $10-$14 for the same burrito elsewhere. In terms of the inside of the restaurant, it's an open concept dining area with ample seating for small and medium sized groups. There's even a jukebox in the corner next to the TV which plays music themed south of the border - no Top 40 hits here. The people who work here are pleasant and courteous, and they serviced me with a smile which I always appreciate. read more

Just awful. I ordered the beef burrito and is was terrible. The meat was so over cooked it was black, tough and it tasted like it was a little rancid so I didn't eat it. I ordered a side of rice and beans which was decent so I ate that for dinner read more

Decent food, will order again soon, tacos were average. Burrito was underwhelming but definitely fresh. read more

This place is ok. The food came in nice portions and the employee that toom our order was very helpful. The food was good but it felt like it was missing some more flavor. read more

I must've passed by this little restaurant on the main street by the Edison train station so many times without paying much attention to it, so I decided to give it a try! It has *surprisingly* good food at good prices with reasonable portions. I didn't expect much when walking in, but the after tasting their steak quesadillas, platillo amado, and tostada (and I REALLY like their tamale!), I changed my mind for the better. It may not be the best Mexican food esp. compared to New Brunswick fares but it still offers a decent dishes from south of the border! read more

Hit or miss. Maybe it depends on who is working in the kitchen. I've had better luck after 5 pm rather than lunchtime. The flautas and enchiladas are not the best (or at least the time I had them) but highly recommend the barbacoa burrito and nachos!! Small mom and pop type shop. One lady up front and cook in the back. They also sell some Mexican products. read more

Ordered to go, no dining in due to pandemic: 1 tamale de Puerco/pork tamale, $1.50, dry, bland 1 beef sope, $2.50, ok 1 fajita de pollo/chicken fajita, $10.00, good, soupy black beans 1 guacamole, $5.00, fresh, chunky, big portion, good chips Would only recommend the fajita & guacamole read more

This store is pretty big on the inside, considering how small it looks from the outside. It's decorated and everyone there is nice. I ordered a chorizo burrito (in picture) which was really good. It had chorizo, rice and beans and lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes and cotija. It can to be $8, so as with everything there was a price increase as it used to be $5. They're still filling and thankfully did not go down in quality or quantity. I also ordered horchata which was delicious. Everything came out very quick and the all the workers were nice. read more

Crazy Burrito - Chorizo burrito - Mexican Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

The first couple of times I was here, the people were so unfriendly that I didn't even get anything. The first time, I was with my friend M and we wandered in on a break from a bike ride. The woman turned her back as we approached the counter, and didn't turn around even though I said "excuse me" a couple of times. So we left. It was pretty clear we weren't welcome! The second time I came by myself and the woman faced me, but was stone faced and cold, so I just asked a question and left. Today I decided to just get some tacos. They were ok, but kind of greasy. They were served on a styrofoam plate which was melted in a bubble pattern according to the tortilla on it. I think the food must've been too hot when they put it on the plate, or they should just use regular plates. read more

Crazy Burrito - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Meh, honestly I expected better. There were a good amount of people inside so my expectations raised further when I saw that. I got nachos and flautas, the chicken in both was not seasoned which is why the food wasn't as good as expected. The green salsa was not too good either. I would say the toppings on the flautas and nachos were good, but you can't really mess up lettuce tomatoes crema and jalapeños.. I just wish they cooked the chicken with some seasoning. If they did this place would be a hit. read more

This hidden gem is tucked sort tucked away right at the tail end of the shopping strip next to an Italian Pizza spot. I'm from the area, but travel all the way up from Lower Bucks PA whenever I come to visit I always make this a must stop off place before I head back down. You really need to go into Philadelphia from my area to obtain such great authentic Mexican cuisine. This place comes highly recommended never a disappointment, and for those who rate with less than 4 stars are use to that Taco Bell kind of crap. Those who know real Mexican know this place is it!!! read more

Horrible. if i could, i'd rate 1 star. i will never step foot here again, took too long, rude staff and disgusting food. i paid so much money for this food that didn't taste good, no meat, the meat that was there was boiled meat, chicken & steak. the burrito was all rice, a steak burrito not just a rice burrito. the burrito was also covered in lettuce and sauce. it was soggy. the tacos were soggy too. they were rapped in tin foil. we got a chicken & cheese quesadilla and it only had chicken. by the name of this restaurant you'd think that would be authentic Mexican food which is what we wanted but no all we got was soggy food that didn't taste like anything it tasted like no flavors at all. don't go here. customer service wasn't helpful at all. we got no refund. read more

I'm maintaining my rating but adding some new info that I think is important enough to merit a second entry - The counter woman speaks very poor english. I didn't realize this before as I just stuck to the menu and ordered tacos / tamales. Ordering a burrito for a friend was complicated...tried to ask what was in it and couldn't really understand what she said. I asked about hard tacos and she said something I didn't really understand but in the end it sounded like yes (I ended up ordering 10$ of "quesidillas" when all I wanted was 4$ of tacos...wasn't too pleased). Next time I will order in spanish (my spanish is definitely better than her english). I ordered a barbacoa burrito on this occasion, just to try it out (I really enjoy Chipotle's take on barbacoa). On their menu they translate it as "goat meat" which is ok as (I think) barbacoa has a pretty broad definition. Tasted a bit like goat/lamb. Unfortunately it wasn't as well seasoned as their other meats that I've tried and on top of that it was a bit dry (though lamb/goat tends to be on the dry side so that isn't surprising). On top of THAT, it had a huge piece of bone in it (kinda careless, not very appetizing) and a few smaller pieces (understandable perhaps but very unappetizing). Despite all those "negatives" I still give 4 stars (though I would prefer 3.5) based on price (cheap) and their tacos / tamales (DELICIOUS!). read more

Highly recommend: barbacoa (goat) burrito! Fresh, complimentary chips & salsa (dine-in) CHEAP...$5 burrito that will keep you full forever (or if you don't want to share, leftovers)! Great service: fresh food, fast! read more

Randomly found this spot for work lunch and it didn't disappoint me and my co worker! It was so good no time for pics. Three tacos: flat, carne asada and al pastor fresh and amazing. A side of guacamole is literally a pint and they left the avocado pit in for freshness!! Happy campers can't wait to have their breakfast too. read more

I am sitting on so many places to review...like...17. It stems from my desire to try 50% of a menu first...but...my desire to go Zagat all over the place is much more greater right now. I had a Cuban sandwich. My sister had...umm...something she wasn't too big a fan of. Was I a fan of what I had? Yeah. You thought I was going to say "si" right? Das Racist. The Cuban Sandwich was good. A part of me wants to downgrade that to tolerable, but I think "good" will suffice. It's just that weeks later I had a Cuban Sandwich from The Cheesecake Factory for the first time ever and holy ****. Ay dos mios. I mean, every Cuban sandwich I have ever had was totally different than the one I had here. Not in a bad way and not in a change the game kinda way either. It's just sorta there. Would I eat another one? Yeah, no doubt. Will I drive 25 minutes to?

I like Crazy Burrito. I usually do takeout and have rarely been disappointed. My order is always ready when I get there. Cashier is always friendly. I really like their flan & the green sauce they use is delish. I've eaten in only twice but each time we were promptly taken care of and portions were great for price. read more

Crazy Burrito - El Cajete Oaxaqueno - beef, chicken, shrimp, rice, black beans, guacamole & pico de gallo - Mexican Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

The food was edible - I ordered the shrimp fajitas, a pork burrito, chicken tostada, with corn tamales. Everything tasted extremely watered down, from the beans to the pork. It could have been an off day, but there was no flavor in anything but the tamales. On top of that I ordered delivery and one of the items was missing! read more

Horchata was watery. Chips were stale. Asada was dry. :( But... tamales were good. :) read more

This restaurant is definitely a great place to find authentic Mexican cuisine in an area filled with fast food Mexican food. If you are looking to find tacos or burritos that come from a value meal, you are at the wrong place. Crazy Burrito is definitely a diamond in the rough as it is a small restaurant and can be easily passed on the road. Once, you're in the restaurant you may be wondering, what happened to the ambiance or decoration? You may even take a step towards the door to leave. As they say, looks can be deceiving. Forget the bourgeoise restaurant type atmosphere and lack of decorations. You are there for one thing and one thing alone. Good food. Period. They have a friendly staff, but may be hard to understand as their primary language is Spanish. The menu is great as it is easy to read and provides many choices to choose from. Besides having a huge menu, the prices are right. Good Food + Affordable Prices = Happy Customer. You order your food at the counter, but food will be served to you at your table. You start off with tortilla chips with two different salsas. From what my palette can ascertain the first salsa was made with jalapenos and tomatillos with the second being a more common salsa with tomatoes, jalapenos, onions and other spices. Both salsas were made fresh and definitely had a nice zip to it. My appetizer consisted of a chorizo sopes, which is made of corn that is grounded and fried to form a plate or a base with the chorizo on top with lettuce, tomatos, onions, crumbling cheese and sour cream. Definitely delicious with an asking price of only $2.99. My main course was a bistec encebollado (steak with onions). I've had this dish made at costa rican and cuban restaurants before and this definitely is up there on my list of best bistec's. The flavor hit my memory banks of food I've had close to the border in El Paso, Texas. The portion size was huge and included a side of flavored rice, black beans, warm corn tortillas and a salad. The main had an asking price of about $9. Overall, this restaurant is great to have lunch or dinner. The food is very filling and met all my expectations of what Mexican cuisine should taste like. read more

To let everyone know they close at 10:00 Pm Monday through Sat. On Sunday they close at 9:00pm . ThTa their new regulation apparently . They currently have a new delivery driver that delivers better on time . Food is still amazing :) read more

I just tried this place for dinner, and it was delicious! I ordered the chicken fajitas, my boyfriend ordered the Swiss enchiladas, and we shared chips and guacamole. Everything was amazing. The place itself is very clean, and everything is very reasonably priced (we were actually shocked at how low our bill was at the end). The portions are very generous- we were full with plenty to bring home. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I went here for an early take out lunch based on the reviews I saw on yelp and the food definitely exceeded expectations. This is as authentic as Mexican can possibly get in central NJ. The menu is in both Spanish and English which helps considering that the people that work there are not native English speakers, which makes the food even more authentic, but difficult to customize an order if you do not speak Spanish. There are helpful pictures throughout the menu most of their platters as well. Being vegetarian, I always find it really difficult to find restaurants that have vegetarian offerings besides salads, wraps, pizza, and pastas. The menu here does have quite a few vegetarian options including tamales, quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos, and a vegetarian platter. I decided on a corn tamale and a vegetarian burrito. The burrito was filled with black beans and rice and topped with tomatos, lettuce, a mexican cheese(not sure what kind of cheese it was but it had the texture of parmesan), sour cream, and pickled jalapenos(on the side). It also came with a side of sour cream, red sauce, which was smoky and spicy and this really awesome cilantro green sauce. The burrito is huge and basically took me an entire day to finish. The tortilla was fresh, but after a while the filling was a little boring without the sauces. At 5.00 I'm not complaining! The highlight of the meal was the fresh corn tamale though. I took one bit into it when it was still really warm and I was totally blown away. It was soft and spongy in a good way and the corn flavors really stood. I think that was definitely one of the best bites I've ever taken of any type of food. It was a steal at 1.50! If you're getting your meal to go make sure you ask for tortilla chips because they are fresh and homemade but I had to ask for them! The atmosphere is a little gloomy due to the lighting but they have color throughout the store. They also carry a small grocery section with beans, cheeses, coconut water, mangoes, etc. I will definitely return for lunch or takeout and maybe be more adventurous and try a cactus dish. read more

Big portions and cheap prices. This place serves authentic Mexican cuisine, so don't expect what most people label Mexican (or Tex-Mex) like at On the Border. Your order comes with complimentary chips with green and red salsa, which I believe are handmade. I favor the green salsa since it's spicy. I ordered chicken tostadas, which included the chicken, black beans, lettuce, tomato, and queso fresco. The tostada shell was big and very crispy. I ordered 2 and could barely finish the 2nd because I was very full. read more

I have been here about 50 times, having lived a block away for a couple years. Follow my advice and you will be a very satisfied customer. Order the chorizo burrito. It is delicious, huge and costs a ridiculous $5. Accompany that burrito with an ice cold Mexican Coke, and that's the best lunch under $7 you're ever going to encounter in the area. Their burritos are different from the typical brick you'd be served at Moe's/Baja Fresh/Qdoba/On the Border/Chipotle...you'll eat it with a knife and fork. Some of the other burritos are pretty good. I used to have the goat burrito, which was very good, but I got tired of crunching down on stray pieces of bone. The chicken burrito is not the typical grilled chicken, but more of a boiled or rotisserie texture...not that great. I have had a few other items on the menu (tacos, flautas), and didn't love them. Take my word for it and stick with the chorizo burrito. I know people who have claimed the food here is not up to their standards for Mexican food. But I take a little umbrage to those who would claim the food is not authentic Mexican: Please, tell that to the clientele and staff, who are virtually 100% Mexican. But make sure you speak loudly so they can hear you over the Mexican polka music blaring from the jukebox, under the shrine to Selena. read more

Great prices , big selection, and never had a bad experience dining out there. When in doubt chicken burrito always hits the spot

Authentic Mexican food. Go there often. Very friendly good clean place always has music on to keep it lively. They been there a long time so you know the food is good definitely recommend read more

Crazy Burrito - One of the most unprofessional restaurants ever ! She was very rude and didn't want to give me her name - Mexican Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

We discovered Crazy Burrito about four years ago and haven't been disappointed. Our regular "go to" meal is the chicken burrito, which we normally call in for a pick up. It has fresh ingredients, very delicious and it's HUGE. I couldn't believe it was only 5 bucks! I have a big appetite but usually save 1/2 or 1/3 for a snack later on. Read some of the other reviews here and believe most are being harsh. I've never had a delivery so can't speak about that. But I go about once a week or every other week and they have consistently produced an enjoyable meal. I would highly recommend them. read more

This place was the worst !! Found hair in my food omg the rice was not cooked will never call this place again

Nice little Taco Joint. Service is on the slower side, but thats because they make everything fresh to order. Call ahead for takeout and avoid the wait. Homemade tortilla chips are a plus, but sometimes are a little too greasy. The authentic mexican dishes are very tasty and a good value. Cant speak on the delivery issues others have had, but I don't like delivery food anyway - it never arrives hot enough from anywhere. read more

I went here today for some tacos. I took them to go. I got the carnitas, barbacoa, pasture, and steak. They were great. Very fresh, and loaded with meat. These are street tacos with onions and cilantro, next time I would ask for more onions and cilantro topping. The red salsa was great, not that spicy, but tons of flavor. Salsa Verde was hotter, with the jalapeno flavor coming out strong. Overall, the menu looked interesting, and I will be making another trip here soon, to try other things. read more

My favorite local spot to get authentic Mexican food. Prices are great and the food is even better.

pretty authentic, reasonably priced "hole in the wall" Mexican. chicken flautas and carne asada burrito were both pretty good, they overcook the carne asada a bit though, not sure why, kinda crunchy.. burrito was big had lots of carne asada and rice., there are several tables and booths, a TV which was tuned to soccer upon my visit, a shelf with a few Mexican grocery items.. people seemed friendly, there is table service or to go. mostly Mexican clientele, super casual place. if you don't like a "hole in the wall" atmosphere, get your food to go. good place to watch soccer while dining.. read more

The food was good but they didn't give me enough. I ordered a carne asado taco and chicken flautas. For the price of the taco, it should have been full of carne asada, this one had hardly any meat in it at all.

Reminds me of Los Angeles. I have been looking for a mexican restaurant that I would find in Los Angeles, and this is it! It's not a fancy place like some I know in L.A., but the food is as authentic as it can get from a good 'ol mom and pop's place. Yes, the girl in the front cannot speak good english, but I didn't care. I have never called for delivery, but looking at this place, it looks like it would take forever so you might as well just go and pick it up yourself. I ordered Chile Relleno which I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYWHERE in NJ, which by the way was not on the menu. (I asked for it before I even looked.) And it came out spectacular!!! I also ordered the corn tamale and it tasted pretty good but it didn't have the firm texture I usually expect from a tamale. Everything was fresh and yummy. read more

This will be my final time to get take-out food from Crazy Burrito. In the past if something wasn't right, I always excused them. Tonight, I had 1 Pork Tamale. It had more bones & cartlege in it than meat, why wasn't this realized when made? Each bone & cartlege were about 2"long. I also had 1 Pork Tacos. It was very dry & tasteless. I had Guacamole with Chips. Edible but chips were not crisp. My Friends also were not satisfied with their food either. Do they eat like this? I'd rather go to Taco Bell. read more

Crazy Burrito, is a family favorite. Authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. I usually order the beef burrito, while my wife gets the vegetable burrito (rice and beans). The corn tamale is a must, very tasty. Healthy portions, freshly made and at reasonable prices. The burritos include a side of home made sour cream and some hot peppers. The service is usually good, but the staff sometimes has some problems with English. The being said, they are very friendly and attentive. I have not tried many of the items on their extensive menu, but will update my review when I do. read more

If there were half stars, I'd give this place a 3.5. The tacos were pretty good, but I'm from California so I have pretty high standards when it comes to Mexican food. I will definitely be going back and it is better than some of the other Mexican places I've been to in NJ. read more
