    Kids burrito. And two enchilada combo
    Deepali P.

    The food here is always a solid local lunch option! However our experience last weekend wasn't as great as it usually is. Our server wasn't around much at all, we never got refills on our chips or salsa, or water/ drinks. It was a Sunday afternoon around 11:30am so an earlier lunch and it wasn't busy in the restaurant at all so that was disappointing. However, the food is still a solid option and I've had a good experience any other time so could have just been an off day

    Although I received a response from corporate Guest Services in TX on June 11th offering us back for a complimentary meal, there has been no further communication from them. Seems to me that the problem for their stores may stem from their corporate structure and lack of support for their stores. As of today we are still waiting...,,,,,, Update July 12th 2025: We were invited back by Guest Services Corporate so we agreed to do so. We were met at the front by GM Pedro. He and the Hostess escorted us to choose any seat of our liking. Our Server Mauro was very attentive and friendly, well aware of the menu items. My wife and I agree to order the Combination Platter Special of Spareribs, Chicken and Skirt Steak Fajitas. Wow amazing delicious. Served extremely hot with sides of Spanish Rice and Beans , sour cream, shredded cheese and salsa! The homemade chips and very delicious salsa like no other we have tasted before. Everything made from scratch. The restaurant ambience is extremely unique and comfortable. Thanks for the invite for giving us an opportunity to dine at your establishment again.

    Convenient Mexican restaurant when you are around in bridgewater mall. Family went out for some mall fun in the weekend and got hungry. Uncle Julio was inside the mall and we decided to give a try. No some mann tables on weekends noon time was a bit surprise but we went inside anyway. Lovely Mexican interior decor with Mexican elements for sure. Service was excellent and friendly. We ordered fajitas for two which turned to a lot food!!! Guacamole was just mediocre but probably we ordered house guacamole but not the self made one! Plenty food and taste was good! Not too over the moon good but decent Mexican food you will expect. Will come back again if craving.

    Overall was not impressed by this place. Our server was very nice but the food took forever to come out. Seemed like they were understaffed and confused. Good came and it wasn't very good. The combination plate looked messy and unappetizing. The fish tacos were bland. guacamole was just mashed up avocado with no flavor to it. Drinks were good, the watermelon Margarita I had was great for a hot day! Overall would only be returning for drinks if I happen to go again.

    Nasty churros

    Came here for taco Tuesday. We had a 20 min wait for a table. We got complementary chips and 2 salsa's. We ordered the taco Tuesday platter with chicken and beef. It was good but the food was luke warm. We then ordered churros. They were the worst churros I ever had in my life. All in all ill come back for the taco Tuesday special.

    The first time we tried this place the food was not fresh. We wanted to give it another shot. We went around lunchtime. There were people but not too busy. We had the special Ribs & Combination Fajitas with chicken, steak and ribs with peppers, onions and rice and beans, sour cream, guacamole and shredded cheese for the fajitas. It came out sizzling. Everything was fresh and the food was hot. I am very pleased with the quality of the food, the level of service and attention by the waiter.

    Welcome to the Bridgewater area. We really pack good Mexican restaurants. The place is huge and the serving is friendly and quick. We were celebrating a birthday and really had fun with their birthday chocolate piñata dessert. You just try (though it's fairly $$$). Food is a bit blended - as one would expect from a large place.

    Stopped in recently to try this out. It's connected to the mall and has outside seating which is great for warm weather days. While not packed they were a bit shorthand so we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. Wait staff was very friendly, helpful and the complimentary hot chips and salsa were great. The food was really fresh and I liked the crispy tacos I ordered. The churro was not very sugary but the chocolate and caramel dipping sauces were fantastic. Solid place to try when you're in the area or want a bite while at the mall if you have time.

    Bottom line: for a chain restaurant in the Bridgewater mall, it's a nice spot. If you like Jose Tejas, you'll like it here. It's a fancier Jose Tejas. We stopped for lunch after a morning of Christmas shopping. I'm having trouble reviewing this place. The ambience is awesome. My friend is Mexican and said it looks like those new upscale Mexican restaurants in Mexico. So we were expecting Mexican. This is Tex Mex. For tacos they have chicken, ground beef and carne asada but no steak. No birria tacos. But they have fajitas and enchiladas. They also make the guac at the table, which is fun for a group. Again, Tex-Mex fare but we didn't realize that based on the atmosphere. We both ordered chicken hard shell tacos. They offer soft or hard. Hard shells are flash fried. Food was fresh and tasty. They give complimentary chips and 2 kinds of salsa: roasted one which was warm and a traditional tomato. We liked them. Chips were warm and crisp. My friend ordered a pineapple lemonade and said it was too tart. That was the only negative. The service was attentive and not rushed. I need to emphasize, this is a solid Tex-Mex chain restaurant. I just don't think I'd come back. We had trouble finding something to order. It was neither a dive Mexican spot, a greasy taco truck or upscale Tex-Mex. It was a smattering of things.

    I visited this restaurant in June of 2023. I sat at the bar. I had a very pleasurable experience. The drinks and food were good. My service was also good. It was a warm sunny day on a Sunday. Honestly felt like I was away on an island. I would absolutely go back.

    Not bad for a chain. They have really good margaritas. I sat at the bar and the service was good. They also have outdoor seating.

    Service at happy hour/after work is horrible! Food and drinks are good though. They miss items you order. Needs more employees.

Got here around 2pm to an empty restaurant so it was nice for my overtired but refuse to nap toddler and my 9 month old daughter who refuses to sit still. Restaurant was very simple with tables along the left side and restrooms on the right. I wouldn't say it's a big place but it's a decent size. Since it was just us, we ordered right away. I got the birria tacos and my husband got the steak enchiladas. Holy birria those tacos were fantastic. The taco shells had just the right amount of crispy softness where it wasn't overly cooked to make it a hard shell. When you bit into it, the juices came out from the other side of my taco and the meted cheese was nice and stringy- if you know what I mean. The meat was cooked perfectly where it wasn't too dry and chewy. I drowned my tacos in the sauce they give you and housed my 3 tacos. It was the perfect amount where I was full after eating but not overly stuffed. My husband loved his steak enchilada. I tried a few bites and I loved the spicy kick to it...so if you're not a spicy eater, I'd skip out on this. It was the type of spice here you know the dish is spicy but it's not overpowering where I feel like my tongue and esophagus is on fire. My husband loved the little kick but was still able to enjoy the meal without wanted to eat a tub of ice cream. He also ordered the mango shake which was absolutely delicious. Super creamy and that mango sweetness was perfect. Our hostess was great- she talked of my daughter and made sure we were ok even though we were the only ones there! I definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Special call out to the Paneer Birria Mulitas which I got based on the manager's recommendation. Very rarely, you eat food that blows your mind..

We all just ordered and paid at the counter, so we didn't have to worry about splitting the checks. Since I'm vegan, it was a little more difficult to accommodate because the tacos I would have liked that were less spicy had cheese on them. The chef accommodated me by adding more beans and rice in the taco, and it turned out really good. I also tried the Black Magic tacos. These were a little spicy for me, but I could really taste the deep flavor. They were just too spicy for me to finish, so I gave them to my friends. My friends who love spice tried the Black Magic tacos and they loved them. In fact, they were their favorite thing on the menu. And they're not even vegan. I like how it's a casual environment where you pick the table you want to sit at. You can combine tables if you need to, grab your forks and knives, get your drinks from the refrigerator, and then order at the counter. This is a good spot for groups because the tables can easily be put together and you can pay at the counter. It's a great place for people who love spice. If you don't like spice, there are a couple things on the menu that aren't spicy and are still delicious, so everyone can be accommodated, whether you love spice, don't love spice, are vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, or love to eat meat. The restaurant also provides hot sauce if you want your food even spicier, and my friends told me the hot sauce is really, really good. I also love that it was easy to make things vegan here since everything is already vegetarian. We all enjoyed it so much, and we'd like to go back soon.
