Not bad Tex-Mex! Coming from Texas this place has been the best around that I've found! The taquitos were great along with the guacamole! Definitely will come back just for the guacamole! read more

Not once have I gone into badlands and walked out being disappointed. The food is beyond delicious and spot on in every way. They are friendly and prices are fair. Don't pass up this great food establishment! read more

I think badlands tacos is a pretty good place, and the beef is pretty flavorful with a bit of a spice that you taste at the end. The tortilla is very big and floppy and tastes like uh tortillas I guess but the sour cream and salsa cups are super small like if you want to make people have a good time make the salsa cups bigger!!!!!! Oh and just a tip: sit in the front be cause in the back its like 20 degrees in conclusion I give badlands tacos 4 stars read more

Not the most welcoming place. We selected it based on the reviews. There are about a dozen tables, and we sat down at one. The person behind the counter totally ignored us. Not even a hello. After about 10 minutes I went up and asked if they wanted our business, and was told we had to order at the counter, which I did. Returning to our table, we were expecting chips and salsa, which we found out we had to buy as well. $6.95 seems a bit steep for chips and salsa. It would have been nice if they had told us that more chips and salsa were included with our meal. That being said, our vegetarian burritos were pretty good and appeared to have fresh ingredients. Pricing seems a little high for what is basically a take-out business. read more

Loved this place!! Great for a quick bite. Ordered fish tacos and they were so good I can't wait to go back haha. Fried fish tacos are surprisingly hard to come by in this area and this place delivered with quality. Our tacos came out so quick and it was fairly priced. Highly recommend! read more

Great tex mex at good prices. Excellent for lunch. The veggie tacos are out of this world.

Finally a place where I can get real deal tacos! I'm a foodie and I know tacos. The flavor was amazing and my kids and I loved every bite. Looking forward to going back. This is my new favorite place. read more

idk why some of the reviews for this place are one star. i love this place and i come here all the time w my girlfriends. i recommend :)

I was at a workshop nearby and wanted to get off the highway to find lunch. Thankfully, I stumbled upon Main Street in Ramsey and saw Badlands Taco. The place was empty, but my belly wasn't when I left! The badlands taco and the fish tacos were my favs. I had lunch there all three days of the workshop! read more

Truly authentic and very tasty. Quick service. Bit pricey but worth it. Varied menu and easy access location. Best for lunch.

I found this gem about 4 years ago while wandering the streets of Ramsey aimlessly looking for a place to eat lunch. I have gone back consistently since. I routinely order beef tacos or shredded chicken tacos if I want to eat healthier. The dish is simple but the taste is out of this world. I regularly top my tacos with bacon and that makes it even better. Their chips and salsa are also homemade and is out of this world. Several friends have commented on other dishes too such as the blackened chicken quesadilla. All comments are positive. This place is famly owned and operated with three locations, and you can tell their passion is cooking homemade Mexican style food. If you ask me, this place is much better than any chain like Moe's or On the Border who continually churn out food spec'ed to company standards and uniform ingredients. My only complaint; the prices are SLIGHTLY too high (at most $1 more than I would expect to spend) and they take cash only. Otherwise, this is a place NOT to be missed. read more

I am honestly rather shocked by some of the reviews I just read! I frequent Badlands Tacos once or twice weekly. I am a vegetarian, so I really can't speak for their meat, but their veggie burrito is absolutely to die for! Yes, I guess it's kind of "pricey," but when you look at the ingredients, it is entirely justified. I moved from the West Coast and it's really hard for me to find a good burrito spot--especially one that doesn't cook with lard. (For those who care, most places use lard in their beans and tortillas, which is totally repulsive if you ask me!) I think there's tons of flavor in their food and everything is incredibly fresh. My boyfriend gets the Badlands Burrito and he swears by it. I only wish they gave more salsa with their chips! (It's really, really good.) I should also add that they now accept credit cards. Not gonna lie, it was a pain in the ass having to run and get cash before I got my food. Nonetheless, I still kept ordering my weekly burritos! I would highly recommend this place. Everyone I have brought there has loved it. read more

Amazing!!! This is really the best burrito I have ever had. Absolutely love this place The staff is amazing too read more

I've been here several times for their burritos. Had the fish tacos a couple of times, but my new favorite is the chorizo quesadilla.

I used to order at their Hawthorne location which to me was much better. I always get the same thing, the chorizo quesadilla and the taquitos. But for whatever reason it's always a little bit of ambit or miss. Sometimes the food is amazing while sometimes it is a little soggy and tasteless... Info love their homemade salsa and guacamole. Always good! I wish there was more consistency with the rest of the dishes. One thing for sure is consistent is that their desserts ( the brownies and cookies on the counter ) are always stale!!! During my last take out I asked for a brownie and it was so hard and stale j couldn't even eat it. Why a 3 stars? Because the place is clean, the staff is nice and when you go there on a good day, the food is truly delicious. read more

Beware! I had to register for a Yelp account to warn fellow diners about this restaurant. My daughter and I stopped in for dinner last night and we had the veggie burrito, veggie tacos and guacamole and chips. We both were violently sick immediately after the meal. My poor daughter still has food poisoning symptoms 24 hours after the meal. This was the first time for us at this restaurant so I don't know what the usual quality of it is but something definitely was not right with the food there last night. I hope the owners are aware of the situation and are taking steps to correct the issue. read more

I had been here a few times in the past while growing up in bergen county. I always remembered it being expensive and not large portions but figured I would go with my husband years later. It is just what I remembered - very expensive for what you are getting and the store is extremely cheap. They have signs up that say to take only what napkins you will use and when we asked for a to-go carrier, the host reminded us to leave the plastic bag behind if we didn't need it. We will not be returning. Blue moon and chipotle are 10x better. I'm actually surprised this place is still open. I'm not trying to be rude to the owner - the food was ok, you just need to make it cheaper and stop with the constant reminders about your overhead. Also your guac was pretty bad. read more

The mexican food here is great! The service is decent as well. The only downside is that it is rather pricey. Otherwise, this is a easy, causal place to pop in for a quick bite to eat. read more

Grabbed some takeout the other day and we were happy with the burrito. Chips and guac was solid also. Out of the other taco spots in this area of Bergen (3 Chicas, Blue Moon, etc) I would have to say this is my new favorite. read more

I have never placed an order here and had them get it right. In addition, their taco's are overstuffed and soggy. After several months and circumstances, I ended up here again and asked for extra cheese and sour cream on my taco, I explained when placing my order and the other two meals that they never do it so can he please make sure my order is right. ALL came out wrong as usual. I spoke with the manager Elisa, explained what happened and that I did pay extra for the addition. Her response was, "okaaayyy." I stayed silent. I said, "thats it?" She said AGAIN "OKAAAYY". I will NEVER go here again, I will post it on Ramsey moms on Facebook and I will spread the word. I don't know how they stay in business. read more

I read some good reviews for this place, so I decided to give it a try. The burrito was okay, but the taco was really disappointing. The fact that this is a taco place and the taco left me wanting so much more is the reason I only gave it two stars. It was also a little expensive for what it was. I don't think I would return, I would likely just go to chipotle instead. read more

Tried it again and had a better meal and experience. Good for a quick bite if you're in Ramsey.

For Taco Tuesdays, they serve $2 tacos. Mind you, they're tinier tacos than normal, but tasty. I opt for the Chorizo tacos on that day, as they don't serve them on any other day. I recommend pick up as opposed to delivery, tacos are usually soggy by the time they reach their destination. read more

This restaurant does not even deserve a star. I wanted to love it, Mexican food is our favorite. We had the worst dining in and pick up experience we have ever had. They only gave us half our take out. Everyone makes mistakes, we called to ask for the rest of our order and we're treated horribly by the staff. I did not even mention how rude the staff was when we placed our order. I have had much better service and food at Moe's. The only thing Bad about Badlands Tacos is the staff and service. By the way the chopped meat tastes like dog food. read more

I have ordered the chili many times and had been pleased. This time I was served something that didn't resemble chili. I questioned why it was so different and received an attitude. Bad attitude and bad chili. read more

Have you been spoiled by the tasty Mexican food found in the southwest? So have I! Badlands Tacos hits the spot for me when the Mexican food craving calls. Their fish tacos are my favorite. I think I might like them better than the ones I grew up on in San Diego, which is home to the fish taco. Their beef tacos are just like my mom's homemade. It is family owned and operated and all the food is made fresh. The chips are addictive and I always leave wishing I had a bigger stomach so that I could eat more. There is plenty of seating and the decor is upscale casual. Bring the family and stop at the atm first since they don't take cards! read more

Pretty good for tacos/burritos but service can be hit or miss. When there's a large lunch crowd things sometimes get a little hectic depending on who is working the register. Food is good- I can't speak for their beef items because I don't eat beef BUT I will say if you're getting chicken (especially to go) I would go with the blackened chicken as the pulled chicken turns tacos or burritos into a soggy mess. My go to is the "chicken in the garden tacos," very fresh tasting. Guacamole is alright, but the portion is definitely small for the price. read more

Wow cant believe the reviews we ordered chicken tacos they hardly had any taste I had to drown them with hot sauce. My son ordered a beef burrito it was soggy filled with refried beans and some kind of soggy sauce hardly had any meat and the wrapping was stale there's nothing Mexican about this place.. you want a authentic Mexican go to Azteca in Park Ridge you want Americanized Mexican food go to Badlands read more

I recently discovered this place and I like it a lot. I've had the San Miguel Tacos and the Chicken Quesadilla, so far. I really like them both and would recommend it to friends. read more

I occasionally eat at Badlands Tacos in Ramsey, and recently ordered the Badlands Burrito. It was good, though it has definitely shrunk in size. At $9.10, it should have been bigger and more flavorful. I used to love this place, but with these prices its just not making sense anymore. read more

Badlands Tacos is the best Mexican food I have ever had. The Badlands Tacos and Badlands burrito are absolutely delicious. Unlike some of these new trendy places that ruin their food with cilantro and use "crema" instead of sour cream, Badlands is completely non-pretentious. Badlands has an amazing flavor to it that you just can't find anywhere else. I currently live in Manhattan and have yet to find a Mexican place as good as Badlands. read more

Adorable, homey little joint that serves delicious food! The chimichangas, shrimp tacos and taco salad are among my favorites. Big helpings at affordable prices. Love this place! read more

Best mexican food in bergen county hands down. Authentic food and amazing flavor from the tacos to burritos you'd be hard pressed to find something you dont like. Never had a bad meal at badlands. Truly an underrated place puts el azteca and blue moon to shame. read more

One of THE best tacos I have ever had! I will definitely be back for another badlands taco and mexican coca cola!

Awful. the taco salad had hardly any meat and what there was of it was awful. I wanted a taco dinner, plus one more taco.l Got only three tacos and some chips.I never throw food out - but even the tacos were too bad for my husband to eat. I do not know what they pass off as ground beef, but it is not good. Will never buy anything there again. THIS WAS TAKEOUT. read more

Astoundingly not good. Tacos on a flour tortilla? And who serves braised flank steak on a steak taco! It tasted like pot roast. Two stars are for nice people who work there. read more

Absolutely delicious, fresh Mexican food! The fish tacos are heavenly! The guacamole is a dream! It's a total find ! The place is so charming for a bite to eat, right in downtown Ramsey...but I did notice that they do deliver as well. My new favorite Bergen County restaurant! read more
