13 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Pompton Lakes

“Really fresh Mexican food with quick service.Ordered pickup and tried the steak nachos and triple combo chimichangas. Both came in a huge serving with a ton of sides and extras to mix in.Great flavor in everything I had. Definitely stop by.“

“I always order burritos from here, also love their chips and guac (just wish there was a smaller size for chips cause I never finish them). They always do a great job preparing the food. Presentation is always neat and they always get it right. Their guacamole is always fresh and I’ve never had to spend a long time waiting for my mobile order. Would definitely recommend this spot.“

“We ate here once before, but it was just as things opened up after COVID, and it was so-so. We finally returned and I'm so happy we did. The food was very good, the service was super friendly and attentive, and the interior is cozy. We've found our favorite local spot for Mexican food!“

“This is the best bubakoos I’ve every been to!!!! Everyone is always so friendly and excited when we come in. I highly recommend. Ive never seen such a clean chain before either. Highly recommend for sone quick, clean, and delicious food and service.“

“My whole family really loves Los Carnales. I'm surprised I haven't written about them yet. It's our 3 year old son's first choice when we were deciding where to go. He loves the chips with the green salsa, and he has good taste - it's very flavorful. The inside is just super cute and festive. It is small and cozy, but one of our favorite spots. We also love the waitresses. We do get take out often as well, but despite our introvert personalities we prefer to go there. We try different things on the menu, but we always start with the Choriqueso. It's so hard to find a good chorizo queso that isn't all grease with cheap cheese. This ends up being the little guy's meal. I also love the Ensalada de la Casa with shrimp. Lately we've been loving the Quesadilla Mexicanas with steak or shrimp. They are really generous portions as well. The menu has both Mexican and American style on the favorites, which I really appreciate. Not only is it good for those used to one style, but it also offers great variety if you just want something different. I'm sorry it took almost a year for me to applaud this place. Mexican is our favorite but I have struggled to find a good place, despite glowing reviews. The food looks fantastic but then the protein is completely bland. Not Los Carnales!! They know what they're doing.“

“My family and I have been coming to this Fairfield Jose Tejas for over a decade now! We have always loved the fun atmosphere and great food. Service is consistently top tier. Margaritas are a must when you go (or Cerveza if that's more you). At our most recent visit I had the Mesquite Chicken Salad, which was great - but I unfortunately chose this to fill the gaping hole which is now the disappeared "Tostada Grande" of Jose Tejas past. It was legendary, and very well priced. I have noticed the price points for most if not all items have increased. Going to have to try my hand at recreating the Tostada Grande from home if y'all don't bring it back! I know I'm not the only one who misses it. Regardless, try this place if you are in the area or go to their other location if it's closer. It's always a great place for lunch & dinner.“

“7:00pm chili's was swamped. I decided to go to take out to order instead of wait. gals were so kind and patient regardless of how busy they were ro help me with my order. Riverdale chili's has always been my favorite restaurant and tonight was no different. got home, food was delicious as usual. thanks chili's for great food at great prices with exceptional service and wonderful hard working professional people keeping people happy and fed with great food. thank you. thank you for great service, delicious food and affordable prices. your restaurant was packed as usual 7pm so order take out. super nice and friendly ladies took order. food was exceptional, service was extremely great and we are lucky to a Riverdale chili's.“

“After getting off the plane from a three hour flight, we were hungry and wanted something pretty quick. We came across Moe's Southwest Grill which is similar to Chipotle but the flavor was definitely delicious. You can tell this is a joint that knows how to bring out the flavor TexMex foods.“

“We met with friends at this restaurant for dinner. we heard about this restaurant from a lot of people. Well, it was very nice. we were warmly welcomed by the staff and we felt excellent. The meal was yummy. We had a great time and we shall absolutely come back again. We recommend this place to all.“

“Awesome atmosphere. I come here every week for consistently great food. Nice workers. Maria is very kind and cares deeply about your Bubbakoo’s experience. Carnitas are out of this world and the store is always so clean. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely thrilled with my experience at the Cathedral Restaurant in Paterson! The tacos were a flavor explosion – the aroma alone was enough to captivate my senses. Conveniently located in the heart of Paterson with ample parking, it's a gem worth discovering. The customer service was top-notch, making the overall visit delightful. I can't recommend this place enough – a must-try for anyone craving a culinary adventure!“

“I recently experienced the culinary takeout experience of Chili's, and let me tell you, the ToGo girl was like a food fairy with a sense of humor! Not only did she expertly pack my order, but her jokes were so on point that I almost forgot I was just there for the quesadillas and wings. Chili's, you've officially mastered the art of delivering both great fries and good vibes – kudos to Aleyshka the ToGo girl for turning takeout into a dream! Genuinely, she was a true gem, blending beauty and kindness seamlessly. Her warm smile was the perfect garnish to my takeout order, making the entire experience feel like a delightful encounter with a friend. Not only did she ensure my meal was flawlessly packed, but her welcoming spirit and knowledge added an extra dash of joy to my day. Cheers to Aleyshka the ToGo girl for turning a simple pickup into a genuinely beautiful moment! You got a great one Chili's, don't lose her.“
