Total dive bar super casual spot. Street parking. $1 chicken tacos on Tuesdays. Super fast service. The chips and salsa came out HOT and fresh. Just generic salsa though. The churro was also hot. The green and red sauce are both excellent. read more

Came here on a Saturday out of whim and was so happy I stopped in. Restaurant was clean and staff were very friendly. Ordered the bistec Al la mexicana and it came out great. Food was seasoned well and the serving size was abundant. Tortillas were very fresh along with the veggies they served with the meal. The staff members were very warm and kept checking on me; they even let me know about upcoming specials. Really happy with this place and the service I was given. Really excited to come back and try more items from them! read more

El Tex Mex Burrito Cafe - Bistec a la Mexicana Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

We ordered via DoorDash since you were staying at a friends house for our trip there in New Jersey . The tacos were great however I was expecting to have the two corn tortillas instead of flour tortilla. My boyfriend liked his burrito so I assumed that's decent. The main thing that needs to be worked on is the Sopes. The tortilla was super super super super dry and it just didn't taste like anything. I was actually disappointed because sopes are my favorite. Nonetheless overall a decent taco spot. read more

Today I ordered a delivery of cecina burrito and the meat was decomposed, what a bad service

Hiya Adventurers! Grabbed takeout from here this past Friday. We ordered the shrimp salad, chicken flautas, and beans with rice. I don't think I've had this great of flauntas in a while. They were crispy, covered in lettuce, crema, avocado, and crumble cheese. I wish they'd added white onions to kick the flavor up, but still delicious. I ended up with two for breakfast LOL. The shrimp salad was really good--came in a crispy tortilla bowl, reminded me of the fried crisp noodles from a Chinese place. The shrimp were baby shrimp and plentiful, also served with lettuce, Italian dressing, and of course spicy salsa dressing. I'd like to go back and try a few other dishes, actually step inside since I legit was the passenger princess. read more

El Tex Mex Burrito Cafe - 4 Chicken Flautas (I ate two of them already) | #intenselypassionatephotography - Mexican Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

Really enjoyed the mini tacos (fish and shrimp). I got the loaded fries and they were fine -- I personally wish they were a little more "Mex" and a little less "Tex." I added the green sauce which helped, but would've loved it they had carne asada on them as an option read more

Tostadas were amazing. We also got the shrimp tacos, they were good but a little bland.

I always get take out from here. It's made fresh to order, huge portions and reasonably priced. My husband and I both love the Enchilada Burrito. It's a huge burrito stuffed with shredded chicken and rice and topped with a delicious red enchilada sauce and cheese. Trust me, it's so big and delicious.... Just order it read more

This is my go to place on my lunch break when I am craving Tex Mex Food! I phone in my order, and by the time I get there 10 minutes later, it is ready for pick up. My favorite thing is the huevos Mexicana, which is scrambled eggs with bell pepper and hot peppers, served with rice and beans, and 4 fresh hot tortillas. It is less than $10 and it's more than I can even eat in one sitting. It's so flavorful, good, and satisfying! The woman who works there, Anna, is friendly and always seems to be in a good mood, which I appreciate! I like that everything is packed up for me to go, including napkins and plastic utensils, so I can head on over to the park and enjoy my lunch outside. This cafe has a big refrigerator case with a nice selection of diet and regular Snapple, sodas, and lemonade. I've always found free street parking within a couple of blocks of the restaurant. I plan to be a lunchtime regular here for as long as they are open! read more

El Tex Mex Burrito Cafe - March 2021 - Mexican Near Me - Fords, New Jersey

Very pleased with my tacos, went for Taco Tuesdays $1 tacos. 10/10 fresh lime wedges, the salsa Verde was super delicious. Great mild spice.

I have gotten food from here numerous times and they have not disappointed. Their Mexican and enchilada burrito are tasty. The rajas tamales are amazing!!! read more

The menus online for this business have a price difference of approximately $2 (or worse) from the actual price, e.g., the panini is not $8, it's $10. My fault was not looking at grubhub's menu since a copy of their menu came up first when googled. They even put up a sign inside saying, sorry the current menu does not reflect the new prices.... (see photo). I hope this is temporary, but my suggestion is... please update your menu, and everyone will be happier and every expectations are matched. I'm still leaving a 4-star review mostly for the food though. Now that I got that out of my system :-) I can focus on the food. Which is, actually very, very good! I didn't feel that hungry and ordered a plain quesadilla with mushroom, and it's overflowing with mushroom and it tastes very fresh. The Tex-Mex flavor was kickin' hard when you bite into their TM burger. The same with the TM taco -- fresh and delicious. The El Paso panini is similarly good and the steak well-cooked. We grabbed our food and drove 5-7 minutes away to the Riverview Park, which gives a majestic view of the Raritan river and the bridges! read more

Food is out of this world. Service takes a little bit of time but it's worth the wait. Ambient soon as walking thru the door the aroma

Just had the Rosy Sandwich - what a flavor bomb! I had them hold the lettuce figuring it would just get soggy and added cilantro instead. Tasted great. It came on a sub roll not torta bread - but I think that worked out better. It's huge! read more

SO GOOD!!! Empanadas with green sauce were awesome. Got the tex mex and El Paso quesadillas too. My fiancé looked at me blankly when he ate the quesadilla and I was like oh no... what? thinking there was something wrong and he's like "... there's so many flavors ....." hahaha. We are so happy we finally found an awesome Tex mex place. All the food in Woodbridge srsly suck but this place is amazing. read more

Very good! I had the enchilada burrito. The food is delicious and the portions make it enough for two people or two meals.

Gave me brown avocado on the salad and blames the heat and then had the nerve to fight to refund a brand new salad they gave me. For 8$ the hassle I went thru here is awful and I would not reccomend this place. read more

Food is consistently good. Staff very pleasant and accommodating. Worth the wait(sometimes they're backed up).

I get one and only one thing from here, and it's their Mexican burrito. It's so incredibly good and the sauce it comes with is also so goooood. read more

Food is amazing and the price point is right. Delivery is always very fast. Great hot dogs as well. We love the salads and the quesadillas! But everything we've gotten has been yummy read more

Wow this place is great! Such a hidden gem. The amount of food you get for the price is crazy. Everything always is cooked super well, the meat is always tender, and everything is very flavorful. This is our first choice when it comes to quick Mexican food. Service wise, everyone there is extremely nice and very quick with getting food out in timely manner! read more

Food is delicious and the servings are plentiful! Will definitely be back, they are also very friendly!

Tried this place when doing a search for Mexican food on DoorDash. I ordered the beef burrito and it was excellent. Have to say was big enough that I got two meals out of it. Will order from them again! read more

We had visited this spot early this year and enjoyed every bite of our meal. It was our first time, and we didn't know what to expect of the food, but we weren't disappointed. The rice and beans, as well as the beefiness of the empanadas, were cooked to such a warm, homemade level that we've dreamed about it ever since. I got a delicious hibiscus drink as well which was something I was wanting for years since I had last visited Guatemala and had pure hibiscus. I would've loved to see a bit more decorations or interior design upgrading, but maybe one day this can happen so it can be even more exciting to eat here. Definitely coming back! read more

Some of the food is great but OMG they're VERY heavy on salt. I ordered fish tacos and shrimp quesadilla and couldn't eat them because there was just too much salt. Had to throw away read more

My co workers brought me some tex-mex steak tacos for lunch one day and they were amazing!!! Tonight I brought my wife there and we got a Mexican burrito and Tex-mex burrito.

First time here, food was delicious. Nachos grande, and chicken quesedillas are great. Nice portions served too. Will be returning

Large portions, always on time, good prices, and delicious! I love the steak torta and the enchiladas.

I stumbled upon this glorious Taco Hole a few months ago, and have been a loyal customer since. The Tex-Mex tacos are mouthwatering! I always opt for shrimp- they cook it to perfection, and it never lacks in the flavor department! This is a family-run business, and they are always so welcoming with every patron that steps foot inside their doors. Check them out, and save some shrimp for me, please!!! read more

No. Dark meat dry chicken. Does that even make sense? The quesadilla fell apart. Lack of cheese. I also was sick all afternoon. No. No. No. read more

I agree with another review they received, giving them one star is too much. This place is beyond horrible! Everything was DRY, the chicken was all dark meat too, they offered no salsa you have to get up and keep going to ask for everything with an unfriendly attitude response. Stay away from here. If you want some local Mexican go down the road to Marcelo's or be daring and drive down to Rt.1 and do Jose Tejas but trust me... stay away from here! read more

Very good food. They have the tacos with hand make tortillas. Very original Mexican flavor.

As a Mexican that grew up in the Mexican food business around here, I can tell you this place isn't bad. Especially for lunch, it's a bit tight but it's not bad considering options for Mexican in area are kind of nonexistent. Prices are reasonable and service is prompt. read more

This little place is a real find! Craving some Tacos I decided to give this place a try and what a delicious surprise and treat for the taste buds. I'm a vegetarian and as always expected everything to be loaded with beans rice lettuce cheese the usual but what I got was the freshest veggies and super yummy home made tasting tortilla. Chimichanga and mini tacos were amazing. Unusual and fresh tasting veggies were the real hero perfectly flavored and without the usual suspect covering of generic cheese sour cream etc. Everything was cooked fresh and worth the wait. I have my fingers crossed that when I stop here again which I will for sure that I will have the same culinary experience in this unassuming looking place with food that packs a punch with super fresh flavors. read more

Nachos were amazing and my friend ordered the burrito it was huge and worth the price she enjoyed it as well will be ordering again
