25 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Cranford

“I just left El Paso Tex-Mex grill and had by far the most delicious and fresh chicken burrito I’ve ever tasted! It even came with a side of chips and salsa. The staff were courteous and the restaurant and bathroom were super clean! There’s even a free secure parking lot right out front. This restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can accommodate a comfortable group as well. I plan to spread the word… Thanks Paco!!“

“I haven’t been here in years because the first and last time I went, the food was disgusting. I mean, we had like 4 dinners and they were all bland and just not seasoned right. (This was around 2021)

We recently tried again because everytime we drive past, my daughter loves the lights outside and the games. What a difference!
We had nachos with chicken, shrimp fajitas and a kids burger. Everything was so good!
Probably the best nachos I’ve ordered in a restaurant- and nachos are my thing!! lol
Britzy (sorry if spelled wrong) was our server and she was so nice ! Everything came out perfect and she checked on us a bunch of times. Everything came at a decent time and it was just a pleasant dining experience.
We will definitely be back!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and also the outdoor seating has some giant games along the side“

“Totally enjoyed our first visit to this new gem. The decor is creative, the cocktails are delicious and the food is excellent. The staff is attentive and very friendly! Wishing them all the best and hoping this place is around for a long time!!“

“Super service and delicious food. We are lucky to have you in our neighborhood and Westfield! The picnic tables are even better especially when the weather is so nice. Gracias! 5 stars!“

“I have been a customer since opening day way back when. Today, I was a bit disappointed. Jose's rice was extremely salty. 2 of us could not eat it. I am disappointed in the nachos. You used to have fabulous flour tortilla chips. Not any more. They are corn. Overdone. Not a fan. Tortillas were great, especially the duo of skirt steak and chicken. Go back to the old flour tortilla nachos!“

“The food was awesome. I wanted to try the fat Amy but, didn't.“

“I always enjoy Chili’s. It’s a family favorite.“

“I ordered the nachos, tacos, soup, and a burrito bowl — and everything was absolutely amazing! The nachos were perfectly crisp with just the right amount of toppings. The tacos were packed with flavor and super fresh, and the soup was comforting and well-seasoned. But the real standout was the burrito bowl — hearty, delicious, and full of bold flavors. You can tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. Everything arrived hot and neatly packaged. I’ll definitely be ordering again — highly recommend this place if you’re craving flavorful, satisfying food!“

“We visited on a Friday night without a reservation, and despite the crowd, we were seated within just five minutes—impressive! The service was attentive and efficient, ensuring a smooth dining experience. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. Everything we ordered met our expectations, making for a satisfying meal. Overall, a great dining experience, and we’d happily return!“

“Omg, you have not had chicken tortilla soup until you’ve eaten it here! So many flavors melt together to create a one of a kind taste sensation! Staff is very outgoing, food is excellent, and value is amazing. Highly recommend!“

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“the breakfast food was good 👍🏽 😋“

“Delicious for eating in or taking out. I prefer to eat at this beautiful restaurant if I have the time. As I vegetarian I appreciate the delicious veggie entrees, and the complementary chips and salsa are wonderful!“

“I got the fat Amy taco and it was huge and so good!! The wings though, the wings are on another level of amazing!!! This place is great!“

“Chili's always guarantees a good meal. The Clark location is a bit complicated to get to with the strange roadways that seem designed for a much smaller town and traffic that the location gets, but once inside, its well worth it. Great, friendly service and the great menu the franchise is known for.“

“Wow!!! What can’t I not say about this place , the decor was incredible you can see that the place has history. I felt like going back home and changing my out for this place is amazing ! The service was Superb, we didn’t have to ask our waiter or waitress for anything we were constantly attended to . The food was great and the portions are are great. I went with my fiancé and daughter so I always order family style , so we had a little of everything . I know it’s cold out but I love a good frozen margarita and it was perfect . Also at the end Jolie , the owner/daughter of the owner also , offered us some free shots of RED CADILLAC TEQUILA , that’s made from them by them . It was very soothing . We’re actually gonna go back in a date night for the live music . Can’t wait !“

“Last night I took my wife and three children here for a bite to eat. We were greeted upon entering which is always nice to be acknowledged as a patron. The two men behind the counter were preparing orders already but they were quick. We were ordering withing two minutes. Christian and Rafael were their names. They were so attentive and efficient we had our food within minutes. We sat down and started eating and the food was out of this world. Then they brought out churros on the house that the kids loved. They were so kind. You don't see that a lot anymore. Especially in fast food places. The place was spotless. Very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Quesadilla, tacos or burritos. And the prices are very good!!! Thank you Christian and Rafael for the wonderful experience.“

From the tacos to the burritos, everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and came out hot and fast. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and the staff was super friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Portions were generous and prices were fair. Definitely one of those spots you leave full and happy. We’ll be coming back for sure!“

“BAD MANAGEMENT FROM A BAD MANAGER: My son place a big order and they gave him the wrong stuff when he ask to speak with the manager, the manager refused to correct the order claiming “what do you want me to do with the food, I can’t put it in the garbage “ and he insisted not to fix it. Shame on you. Don’t go even closer to this place.“

“one of my favorite Restaurant for traditional and delicious Mexican Food love it“
