The chips were fresh and salty, the way I like them, and the salsa was mild and tasty. I ordered the chicken fajitas and my wife ordered the veggie burrito. Neither one of our dishes disappointed. The fajitas were cooked fresh and served hot with soft shell tortillas. Plenty of chicken, beans, rice, and vegetables to stuff the tortillas. I even ordered more tortillas. The veggie burrito was huge and my wife brought the other half home and had it for lunch the next day. The prices were more than reasonable and the service was excellent and friendly. There is a public parking lot next door and across the street. It was a very pleasant experience and look forward to going again.

Luckily Freppe's makes it fun by serving up the margarita mix if you bring along the tequila. Done! Freppe's ended up being the perfect spot for a little lunch, and not just the DIY margaritas. We had perfect weather so sat outside on their patio, had a really lovely waitress taking our orders, and served up some pretty delicious food. I got the mahi mahi tacos and they were pretty great. Lots of fish and the verde salsa had so much flavor. I think the fish was just a bit overcooked, so I will probably try something else on my next visit, but still loved my meal. We got some churros for dessert and oooooh man they were good. Piping hot and filled with a caramel or dulce de leche sauce that was so tasty. Perfect cap to to a great meal. We'll be back! Some tips: They have a big parking lot in the back, and I will say it again, BYOB and have them turn it into margs for the table.

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.

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.

Our drinks and food order came fast too. I ordered the chicken w mole enchiladas, it was a 10/10. My mouth was salivating from the flavors. The shrimp tacos were phenomenal also, corn tortillas are the way to go. Highly recommend. Very family friendly. The staff were very friendly as well! We will definitely come back to this gem.

I was expecting traditional beans like the beans and rice that come at every Mexican restaurant; what I got was beans poured from a can and heated up. Very disappointing. The enchilada was ok. The veggies were barely cooked and everything fell apart. There was barely any flavor.

The enchilada really only had one flavor; salt. The dipping sauce was pretty good.
