My only knock is that some items could stand to be a touch more flavorful. But we truly enjoy every meal from Don Jose.

Went in for early supper on Sunday 3/29. Street parking along Dover streets. Greeted warmly. Place…read morehas a nice vibe: people in conversation, laughing, being friendly. We were served chips with green sauce (gets spicy) and red sauce (is spicy) and were given a second basket of chips by our friendly waiter. I ordered a hot chocolate (delicious) on a whim, and enjoyed every sip. Laura ordered a burrito, I ordered three tacos. Large servings -- and, be advised: heavy hand on the cilantro, although I found it just fine. Food was excellent. Our waiter is from the Mexican state of Veracruz, and he was really friendly and nice. Great value for the money. Laura has been there before. I know I'll go back. Highly recommended.

I ordered for delivery. Wanted to pay with my card. When I gave the girl my card number she…read moreproceeded to repeat my card number out loud. When I asked her not to say it out loud because someone could get my number she got aggravated and hung up me. Then when I called back they wouldn't answer the phone. I've been a customer for a long and have never been treated so badly. They have no respect for customers like me that have been loyal customers for years.

Maybe come here for dinner and not lunch, like I did. I honestly wonder if the kitchen was just…read moregetting warmed up. I went in for lunch at noon on a Sunday. My grilled chicken tacos were bland and nearly overcooked, with no juiciness to moderate the raw white onions they were served with. My guac was chunky, served cold, and lacked aromatics, textures, and even salt. The chips I got were hard and thick; difficult to crunch on. All in all I felt this location of La Bamba was inferior to its cousin in Boonton.

One of the best places to get real Mexican cuisine. I can't name one plate only because everything…read moreyou try has an authentic flavor from Mexico. Service is great, from the owners and the staff. The ambience is good. Recently we had a reunion and was extremely successful. The flan is one of the best on the county.

We got the al pastor and lengue tacos. This al pastor did not come with pineapples, but the meat was juicy regardless. The lengue tacos were on the drier side but still had a nice chew and were flavored ok. Not the best tacos I've had (I'd say Cali does them better and cheaper), but still a good option in northwest Jersey!

This is unacceptable and they still charged us for the food she didn't eat or even get back. This is unacceptable behavior and should more careful with there food

My wife loved her margarita and our food was pretty decent (my burrito had an excessive amount of onions which I should have asked for none, but that's my mistake).

We were able to decorate the way we wanted. They had many options for table cloths and runners! The service was excellent!

Thank you Diana and everyone At Tequilas for being part of our special day for our child's birthday!

To start the building is really colorful and the ambience is rlly nice. Miguel was our server and…read morehe was really nice to us. We did question why no chips arrived to the table when we got there but the server explained that the chips are given when the order is taken which Is a first for me but besides that the food and drinks were really good. I got the Paloma roja to start and my partner a Cadillac margarita, both really good. Then for food we got the suiza enchiladas and carne asada which also both were very good. Really nice staff and great food. Will be coming back!!

Ordered takeout here last Cinco de Mayo, but haven't dine-in until this week. It was busy on a…read moreFriday, but no delay as we got a table immediately. This location was the old TGI Friday's restaurant, so they did a good transformation and decorated it nicely. There were a few large parties, as they have a perfect layout for it. It was clean and you can smell aroma from the kitchen. The hostess and wait staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. Took our order and the food came out quick. Drinks were always filled. The chips and pineapple gauc was delicious to include the tacos entrees (Alpastor & Shrimp), and waiter made a personal recommendation for desert. All were spot-on and satisfying. Looking forward to dining-in a lot more to sample their other enticing options.

Fajitas were a great combo of shrimp, beef and chicken with loads of tasty vegetables, side of rice and beans. My wife had shimp quesadilla that was equally as good. Oh, and the margaritas was good. Not too sweet. Portions were generous enough that we both went home with extra. We left saying that this was among the best Mexican food in the area. One downside was that although we were told, a second bowl of chips had an upcharge.

Beautiful and festive decor sets the mood and everyone gets a tablet menu but you still give your order to the staff. Complementary chips and salsa hit the spot, but my Horchata tasted shy. I like mine richer and bolder with the cinnamon. Then their Signature Tortilla Soup that has chicken in it tasted just okay. The chicken leaned dry and the tortilla was scarce. My coworkers raved about this place so I need to order better next time. NOTES/TIPS: **Great service **Small lot, clean restrooms
