Ali AbediniMarch 11, 2016The best Fajitas, beef burro, and Campton shrimp on the US. I love this resturant. I used to go their branch in Delaware. They are really professional. It's my favorite restaurant ever.Upvote14Downvote
John CaliMay 3, 2014Great food that's very affordably priced. The blackened chicken caesar salad is the best. Plus they start you with fresh warm nachos and salsa. I like to add the Pastelitos as an appetizer.Upvote12Downvote
Awesome authentic Tex Mex. get the Pasteluitos as an app and a double shot Margarita. Not a bad thing on the menu. Place is darn good but will have a wait at prime times.Upvote7Downvote- The Adventures of Boracho 🐊 🌴May 5, 2017Amazing margaritas, Cajun Creole Food and of course the Mexican. I always get the Josè's Rice. My favs: Crawfish Etoufée, Cajun Catfish, Josés chicken, and Seafood enchilada..

Love the gumbo. Great loaded fajitas. Jambalaya is very good. Best brewed iced tea around. Hot fresh salty chips and salsa. Camptown shrimp. You can't go wrong up and down the menuUpvoteDownvote- James KiernanAugust 3, 2024Fun and lively place. Great for families or big groups. Was disappointed they didn’t offer a house made hot sauce.Upvote1Downvote
Ashley VelazquezFebruary 1, 2015Make sure you come early because the wait is always insane, but totally worth it. Try the chimichurri steak!!

Pretty much always a wait for a dinner table but it goes by quickly. The quesadillas are ginourmous, definitely a full meal from the appetizer menu.Upvote1Downvote- Burro, tostada grande, Route 66, tejas chicken, guac & salsa & blue cheese dressing. Everything on the menu is amazing besides the eggplant!!UpvoteDownvote
Philip NergesJuly 12, 2015I have been eating at the one in Woodbridge since the early 90s. I was so happy when I found this one with the same food and less wait times.UpvoteDownvote
Amazingly good food, great service and a extremely fair price.Upvote2Downvote
If the place seems packed, try to get a spot at the bar or one of the cocktail area tables. You can still order food and won't have to deal with the wait.UpvoteDownvote

Cheap and tasty, better than most of the casual dining places prevalent to north jerseyUpvoteDownvote
Unusual vegetables in the veggie fajitas, but still delicious! No meal is complete without a margarita or Dos Equis.Upvote2Downvote
Single order of fajitas big enough for two! Order an appetizer and one order of fajitas. Oh, and frozen effing margaritas!!!UpvoteDownvote

Best EATS anywhere - love the Blackened CatfishUpvoteDownvote
Michael KentMarch 26, 2013Most servers here are excellent. One dude is horrible. Despite repeated requests, he wouldn't clean the food off the table from the prior party. No way we could stay in such a filthy environment.Upvote1Downvote
James, the manager, is very friendly and helpful. He always ensures a pleasant experience.UpvoteDownvote
