What a great place, with great food and prices, are incredibly reasonable! Fun environment, but be warned, you will likely wait a while before being seated - but that shows how great it is!

Joe Buro

Favorite restaurant on Earth. Authentic Mexican and Cajun food in NJ! It's cheap to eat, around $25 per person including drinks. No dessert on the menu except birthday cake because you won't want it.

Lance Boykin

Great atmosphere. Great food! The Chimichurri Steak is excellent. Swordfish Taco is great. Blackened Chicken Fingers are THE BEST! Sides are great, too (Jambalaya Rice ). Great service & reasonable $.

KT Florida

Delicious food and margaritas ! Best southern style food I've found up here since moving from the south!

Jorge Soto

This is the best meal there (at least thats my opinion) but the sauce is perfect and they get the type of meat you like very well and it comes with the side of either rice or French fries .

Jorge Lastire

Nice place, food is awesome and service also. Blackened chicken is a must, margaritas and basically anything in the menu looks and taste great! Always a 20 minutes wait to have a table but it worth it

KT Florida

Crawfish étouffée is amazing! Margaritas are always delicious here.

Ernie Oporto

Absolutely the best Mexican food in town . They are always busy and have a giant line but the line moves quick and the food is worth the wait! Grab one of their awesome margaritas too!

Ronald Park

Margaritas are excellent and not overpriced. The chicken Guadalajara is my favorite but never had a bad experience with anything else on the menu. Been coming here for 20 years and still love it.

Breeanna Taipina

My mom loves it here I so do I it's great for youth and their food is amazing and the smell when you're in your car you can't resist the food you did it brings you in it's amazing

Thomas Cottingham

Everything is good, good food and service at reasonable prices. No reservations are accepted and always busy regardless of day and time so be prepared to wait for a table.

Michael Scibetta

Always busy, always a wait for a table, a good reason! The food, service & prices are great! A Must Do every time we are in Jersey!

Phyliss Curto

Awesome food, most meals are under $10, you get plenty, enough for leftovers. Sangria is the bomb!! Chips and salsa are fresh, if your lucky your chips will be smoking hot at your table.

Nat Piccione

Margaritas are good cheap ! Blacked catfish fajitas yummy! The best guacamole ! The apps are good. There's nothing to complain! Go go go ! Cheap but delish!

Sylvana G

Great food, nice veggie selection , great prices too! Only problem is it's always busy so expect at least a 20 min wait every time you go.

Konstantin

Service- excellent, food-excellent. Very affordable . Blackened fish - delicious. 🍟 , salad all A+

Shannon McCook

Been going here since they opened in the 90's. The best fajitas you'll ever have. Don't bother getting them anywhere else. You'll just end up disappointed! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Better Mexican restaurants in Jersey. Good Swordfish Tacos , yummy Corn & Black Bean Empanadas , & insanely good Margaritas .

Justin Malone

The margaritas are great here! The food is very tasty but salty. The salt makes you drink more margaritas and the margaritas make you eat more. Enjoyed my meal.

Lebedeva Natasha

The best authentic Mexican restaurant out there! You have to try their margaritas , guacamole , fajitas and steak . No regrets! Great prices! No deserts tho, but no need for it

Chel Castel

Apps: Pastelitos, Queso , Blackened Chix Fingers, and Camptown Shrimp . For entree I get blackened chix fajita . Their fries are also pretty good.

Tim Trautmann

It's kind of like Chevy's. Tex-Mex, good margaritas , tasty and fresh tortilla chips . Good vegetarian options on the back of the menu. The empanadas were good.

Sara Gaona

Be ready to wait at least an hour for a table but it's totally worth it! Food is delish & service is great!

Richard Revilla

Just the best Margarita around. Never fancy and never gets old.

Ashley Scalzulli

I always get chicken or steak and it's delicious, but my family goes there and my mom gets fish and everything is awesome

Rrona Ahma

Strawberry margaritas and beef fajitas are perfect!!! And of course the warm chips .

Eva

Everything! Tejas chicken , fajitas , cornbread , piña coladas are all great!

honeywhatscooking.com

Out of this world Chicken Burro (burrito ). Love the red enchilada sauce .

Sarah E

Well known for Cinco De Mayo and margaritas . Their food is delicious especially their enchiladas and fajitas . Tip: Call or reserve a spot bc the place gets packed quickly.

Bianca Ng

Delicious fish !! I love this place. I wish it wasn't so busy all the time so I could go more.

Amit Tikyani

Amazing atmosphere with large servings. Place was very busy and the wait was long. However you can pass time at the bar .

James C

Shrimp camp town sauce is amazing you will cut the waiters arm off if he tries to take it. Really good food just crazy busy.

Jessica Perry

The Tejas Chicken appetizer elevates traditional wings by lightly frying and putting them on skewers - SO, SO, SO good! The chicken burro never disappoints either.

Stephen

Flank Steak with Chimichurri Verde and the best fries you will ever eat.

Tom M.

Can't go wrong with the empanadas -- fresh and crispy , oh so good

Dee💗Stacy

Best cheese quesadillas . Good everything and good prices. However order guacamole with chips bc it's bigger then the side they give you with quesadillas

🚒🚨Scott

Drinks are the best here food. Is awesome. Just like being in CA eating Mexican

Diana Fi

Delicious. Portion sizes are ridiculously large for the price, I was not prepared for that and ordered an appetizer and an entrée. Now I have food for a week!

Lauren V

It gets super crowded so be prepared to wait..but its sooo worth it!!! Amazing food, great service, fun atmosphere !! Can't ask for anything more!!

Susan Koyfman

Good margaritas , the Texas chicken is great🤗

Jimmy Kastner

This is a very good Mexican joint. It's usually crowded , but you will be happy you waited.

Tobin Madathil

try the frozen margarita along with blackened catfish and crawfish quesadilla ...

Patrick Healy

Excellent for groups and families. The wait for a table is ridiculous but the frozen margaritas and free chips w salsa help to ease that pain. :-)

DJ Insomnia

You can't beat the blackened chicken fajitas ! Make sure you show up an hour early, the wait is loooooong!

Kim

Best fajitas in the world! You'll never be happy with them anywhere else!

Agnes Gypsyblood

Vegetarian delicious! Eggplant deep fried with nuts & cheese sauce

May Carvalló

The best guacamole I've ever had outside my house!

B

Omg! Amazing Mexican food . Quesadilla and a margarita are the way to go!

Michelle McTamney

Chicken guadalahara - absolutely my favorite. And they have an appetizer that we never miss - something flambado. Chorizo maybe. Cheese and fresh soft fluffy tortillas . Mmm.

If you come to Tejas on a night or weekend, don't come hungry, come "almost hungry". The wait will mitigate your hunger.
